dominated by a bare brick wall, was
wholly unguarded, being deemed un-
enterable.
AS we crouched in the shadows we
saw the robber glance swiftly round.
The thoroughfare was apparently de-
Serted nobody was likely to pass
through on any honest purpose.
Stealthily he opened the sack, plunged
in his arm, and drew out some furry
creature of large size-a monkey, and
yet not a monkey, for instead of
chattering and leaping this thing lay
apparently lifeless in his arms. The
man deposited it carefully in a re-

At Tottenham Court Road we took
an omnibus and, seated upon the roof

When he had passed through the
Bloomsbury district we descended,
Crewe hailed a hanson, and for an
hour or more we drove slowly up and
down the squalid thoroughfares,
Crewe's eyes registering every human
being among the moving mass of
pedestrians, Suddenly he signaled
to the driver and leaped out.
Follow that mani" he exclaimed.
In front of us, some two hundred
yards distance, a swarthy fellow of
Spanish or Italian origin was strolling
leisurely through the streets. He was
attired in the corduroys and overalls

saw a struggle upon the perpendic-

at the rope, missed it, seemed to lose
his foothold, and suddenly fell some
twenty feet in the air. The loose rope
frightened with an awful shock; the
body quivered an instant, and then
began to swing like a pendulum from
side to side along the flank of the
building. At every turn the rope
rose higher around him. 1t was slip

had fastened it, toward his throat,

evenly at the ropes end, the vibra-

other pinned by the rope to the neck,

Negro Burned to Death.

About 2::3O Monday morning the
city fire department was called to
300 East Pine street. where they
found the board building in a mass
of flames so far advanced that it
was impossible to save the building
Before the building burned down
it was known that a negro, Frank
Bradley, was in the house, and as
soon as the fire was cool the char
red body was removed.
Immediately it was rumored that
the fire was the result of the fact
that the negro was to be a testi-
mony in some important blind tiger
case pending in the Superior Court
But the coroner's jury failed to find
any evidence substanciating that
theory
Mr.. J. R. Horn, mail carrier, was
attracted to the house, when he was
unhitching his horse about mid
night, at his stable near by, and he
pushed open the door and peeped
in, and the negro asked him to 60
across the street and tell some OF
his friends that he was almost dead,
and Mr.. Horn called up some of the
negroes near by and asked them
to 60 over and attend the sick man
but failed to interest them, and it is
probable that the man was left
alone until the fire.

Georgia's Momentus Question

What shall it be? prohibition
Local Option or a. return to- the
License System.
We say let the present law remain
but amend it so as to exclude the
Near (?) Beer clause.
Regarding Prohibition-At its
worst it is long way better thar
Local Option at its best. They have
both been tried in Georgia, and every
one, who is not in some way inter
ested in the liquor traffic will readl'
ly agree that nothing is as good as
Prohibition has proven.
Regarding Local Option The
trouble is that while ones.place may
prohibit, the next nearest place may
not want prohibition, and the prohl-
bition town will therefore suffer on
account of its liquor-selling neighbor
Regarding License Laws-Th
License Law is an utter failure as
being a temperance measure, and
fails to regulate the saloon.
In Indiana, the newspapers quite
Generally agree that the new license
law in that state fails to regulate the
saloon and as a consequence Will
bring about its speedy repeal and
hasten statewide prohibition.
The Chicago Tines says: That
city has had high license for five
wears and it is an undisguised fact
that it does not regulate the saloon
and is a complete failure as a tenn
perance measure"
A few months ago Lynchburg, Va
which had been under prohibition
voted for the return of the saloons
The Lynchburg News says;
"One has but to take a casual
stroll along Main street from Fifth
to Twelfth, and on Twelfth to the
intersection of Madison, at any hour
between 9 a. m. and midnight, to be
thoroughly convinced that the pres
ent method of controlling the liquor
traffic is a complete and most de-
plorable failure. Crime, drunken
ness and law-breaking are rife; and
and this is just the beginning, for
the saloons have only been back a
few months. Yet citizens and Off
GERS alike are shot down without
provocat;on, and besides, it is cost
IND the city as much or more to
uphold the laws than the revenue
derived from the saloons" Let the
people of Georgia who are thinking
about possible return of saloons
whether through local option or any
other means, take notice.
Governor Hoch, of Kansas, Twas
certainly right when he said: Pro
hibition, in my judgement, is the
only logical attitude of the govern

ment toward the liquor traffic. This
traffic is either right or wrong, good
or bad. If it is right and good it
should be as free as the grocery bus
mess. If wrong and bad it should
not be countenanced by law" Amen
Slavery, prostitution and drunk
enness are the only crimes that
have ever been licensed in the
United States. Both slavery and
prostitution are ontlawed, and so
must the crime of making drunkards
of our boys and girls must be abol-
ished.
The stuff is one of the most vile
and harmful ingredients that ever
entered mans system as a beverage,
and those who use it IN this way
become degraded and are as men,
unreliable. All the large corpora
tons and companies prohibit it's
use among their employees. 1t be-
fuddles the brain and causes acci-
dents.
The Northwestern Life Insurance
Company, of Milwaukee, Wis, serves
as an example. This company will
no longer issue policies to the brew
er, no matter if he is total abstain
er at the time he makes his appli-.
cation.
Neither will they issue a policy to
his clerk, his boOk-keeper or the man
who hauls his kegs, or anyone en-
ployed in or about the brewery.
why this injustice inflicted upon
us?" they ask The company gives
them as reason for this policy:
Because our statistics, which we
have accumulated (not as result
of fanaticism or from any sentiment

because we pitied the widows and
orphans, but because we pitied our
own treasury, show our business

lives of those who drink lager beer"
Again, many of the states have
passed laws making it obligatory to
have temperance instruction in the
public schools. Thesboys and girls
