WANTS SABBATH OBSERVED.
Governor Blease Orders sunda
Amusements Stopped.

Gov. Blease has addressed to Sher-
if Coleman, of Richland county, a
letter directing him to abate alleged
nuisances at Ridgewood, in respect
to violations of the Sabbath obser-
vance laws; the letter follows:
w. H. Coleman, Sheriff Richland
County, Columbia.-Dear Sir: l am
informed that there is a shooting
gallery, which is operated on the
Sabbath, at Ridgewood, and I am al
so informed that there is a game,
commonly described as Throwing
the babies," which is also operated
on the Sabbath at that place.
You will please go there and make
an investigation and if you find this
is the case, close up these places and
arrest the operators. Please give this
matter your prompt attention, as in
my opinion there is nothing more
degrading to the morals Of the peo-
pie than the desecration Of the Sab
bath day. Very respectfully,
COLE L. BLEASE,
Governor.

NEW LEASE FOR "NEAR-BEER. =
Georgia Legislative Committee Kill
Tippins Bill.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 14.-The at
tempt to extend Georgia's anti-liquor
statutes at the present session Of the
legislature ended in failure to-day.
The Tippins bill, prohibiting the sale
of beverages containing more than
one-half of 1 per cent. of alcohol
aimed primarily at the traffic in
"near-beer'-was killed in commit
tee, and later failed to be resurrect-
ed through a resolution on the floor
of the house.
Thus, the sale of "near-beer'' will
continue for at least one year more,
as the remaining days of the assem-
bly, will be taken up with privileged
business. The action Of the rules
committee, in refusing to allow the
measure to come to vote, was taken
early this morning, but the matter
was not closed finally until this af-
ternoon.

GIRL SWIMS 21 MILES.
Miss Pitonof Performs Feat Never
Before Accomplished.


New York, Aug. 13.-Rose Pitonof,
the 16-year-old swimmer, Of Boston,
succeeded to-day in her attempt to
swim from East Twenty-sixth street,
Manhattan, to Coney Island. Last
year she had to abandon a similar
effort because of adverse tides, but
to-day, although forced at times to
swim so far out of her course that
she is estimated to have covered some
21 miles in making the distance of
18 miles, she finished strong, actu-
ally sprinting as she neared the goal:
Miss 'Pitonof was in the water 8
hours and Z minutes. She took no
stimulants or food of any kind on
the long trip. Most of the way she
used the breast stroke, but for two
stretches she resorted to the speedier
overland stroke.
The young woman's feat of to-day
had not before been accomplished.
Several swimmers have made the trip
from the Battery to Coney Island,
but none from a point so far up the
river.

Holsteins Granted Bail.

Aiken, Aug. 11.-A. L. Holstein,
Grover Holstein, Sidney Holstein,
Richard Holstein, Boyd Holstein and
Dock Cockerel, were admitted to bail
tonight. A. L. and Griver Holstein
were granted bail in the sum of 49,
900 each, the others in $4,000 each.
A. L. and Grover Holstein are charg-
ed with murder in the death of Mrs.
Nettie Spradley and assault and bat
terry with intent to kill in the alleged
whipping of Columbus Spradley, Ben
Spradley and R. H. Rowe, a young
man who was with Columbus Sprad-
ley on the night in question.
Mrs. spradley died 80 hours after
the affair at Monetta last week. 1t
is stated that she was up the follow
ing day and went to bed the follow
ing night in good health. This will
be used, it is said, in the defense
of the Holsteins against the murder
charge. In regard to Ben Spradley
it is now stated that he received but
one blow and it is denied that he was
fogged.
The Holsteins are very prominent
people and bear good regulations. 1t
Is absolutely denied that there is any
connections of this alleged crime with
the much talked-of harness cutting
affair of some weeks ago. 1t is also
said that on the night in question
Spradley and the Holsteins made
friends.
