GRAND JURY MAY
CLOSE BEER SHOPS
Savannah After Near Beer
Dealers

Savannah, Ga, May 1S.-While there
is no intimation that the grand jury
will return any indictments tomorrow
afternoon against near beer dealers
who have not yet paid their state II
censes, yet the situation is full ii
what is going to happen shortly Some
thing is going to drop, beyond the
shadow of doubt. The various COM
mittees of the grand jury will report
tomorrow afternoon and among those
committees is the near beer one. This
committee has information Of the num-
Der of dealers who have neglected to
pay, and the list has been in their
hands for som etime.
Not long ago there was revision Of
the list, and it showed twenty-siX
unpaid when it was anticipated that
only twelve had failed to come across.
Of this latter number there are eigh-
teen retail dealers and one wholesale
dealer who have neglected to meet
the requirements of the law. There
may be no definite action on the part
of the grand jury tomorrow at It's
meeting, but the contrary is equally
true.
Unless payments are made, however,
some one is going TO be considerably
surprised by process which will close
up shop and which will make them
pay the license in addition. The man
datory feature of the law is that all
licenses for carrying on this business
of near beer must be paid upon the
first day Of the year If this falls upon
Stray then it refers to Jan. 2. The
Jaw gives not day of grace and
those who take that upon themselves
are subject to indictment for a mtsie-
rlea. or.
In other words, the clear language
Of the statute makes a failure to pay
on the very first day of the year a
penal offense for which an indictment
rests, and against which there is no
possible defense. The penalty for d
misdemeanor is three-fold and carries
a monetary fine of $1,000, Jail SEN
tence of six months, a twelve months
sentence on the changing, any one,
+,,.o oil
1t would be cheaper for a whole
saler to pay the license than to run
into these circumstances. The unpaid
dealers may imagine they have plenty
of time in which to scrape up their
money, but the truth of the situation is
that when matters shape themselves
for action, and that is shortly, it is in
timated that there is going to be nc
quarter and the action viii be precise
and decisive.
One retailer paid up today. They
are coming in sowly.

DISGUSTED With
COUNTY BOARD
DOE" Jones OF GREENVILLE
Angry Because Bond Issue is
Delayed By Court

Greenville, Ala, May 1S.--A rumor
has been abroad for the last few
days that Bob" Jones is going to
resign from the Butler County Board
of Commissioners, and his reason for
so doing is causing no little comment
here. The people have been hearing
this talk since the adjournment of the
board last week.
When he was asked if the report
was true, Mr.. Jones replied: Il will
airy them another month and if moth
ing can be accomplished, will quit
the job"
The commissioners at their court
asst week declined all bids on the good
roads bonds, in spite OF the knowledge
that the universal public sentiment Is
for the issuance of the bonds, and that
the bids submitted were in some in
stances above par. Mr.. Jones, support
ed by one other commissioner, Mr.
Stewart, voted for selling the bonds
but the other commissioners, Messrs.
Simmons and Bailey, opposed him
Judge Lampley, in uniting the vote,
sided with Simmons and Bailey. The
board then adjourned, without fixing a
date for further considering the mat
ter of the bond issue.
Commissioner Jones is disguised
with the way matters went and says
he does not care to be receiving the
countys money when he is unable to
do anything worth while for them.
1.-THE people have voted on a $185, 900
bond issue for good roads, bearing IL
per cent. interest, without demanding
any premiums whatever, and now that
we have been offered a fiattering prem
ium of $542.50 and declined it, it is
enough to disgust any one.
A great deal of speculation concern
ing the new commissioner has been
INDUCED in and his actions just now
are of great interest to his friends
The outcome of the court just ad-
journed for Mr.. Jones saying he is apt
to resign. In fact, there is a great
deal of criticism concerning the ac-
ton of the board throughout the coun-
ty. The people want good roads, and
think that the bonds should be issued
at once.

EVENING CHAT

Gently passed a law aimed to prevent
the horrors of baby farmS-that is,
those terrible establishments where
the little unwelcome babies are board
ed out, and given full opportunity by
their hostess to depart, if they will
be so kind-from a world that has lit
tie use for them.
In connection with the passing of
this law there was little incident
about which I want to tell you, be-
cause for splendid selfless courage it
seems to me worthy to rank with any
heroic deed I have ever heard of.
A few days before the bill was to
come up a nice looking, dignified ap-
pearing young woman came to the
committee who were working for the
bill, and said:
ST have heard that you need all the
evidence you can possibly get. I have
come to tell you that if you think it
necessary I will make nv story public.
NV baby lied in one of those places.
I had no idea what sort of a place
it was when took him there. I have
letters and evidence to prove what I
say No one around here knows any
thing about this, and, of course, do
not wish to say anything unless it is
absolutely necessary, but leave 1t
with you. If you think # is necessary
for the passing of the bill, call upon
me and I will tell all I know"
Now, please try to think what that
promise meant.
The girl was looked up by the COM
mittee and found to be a bookkeeper,
woman of excellent standing in the
community, woman about whose
name, since she came there to work
five years ago, there had never been a
breath of scandal, a woman with
whom no sone would ever have con-
nected the past she was ready to own
up to.
The closed chapter that dealt with
the unhappy little stranger she had
actually succeeded in keeping hidden
from all her acquaintance up to now.
And now she was willing to lay il
open, to bring down upon herself the
disgrace she had managed to escape,
in order that wise legislation might be
furthered.
1 love to think of that incident, be-
