M. A. Crosby of Abel, Ga, Shot Dead
by Wife, Who Commits Suicide.


Abel, Ga.-The dead bodies of NJ.
A. Crosby, cashier of the Bank of
Abel, and his wife We're found in
their bedroom by their six-year-old
son.
The woman was lying on the floor
with 3S-caliber revolver tightly
clasped in her cold fingers and a
bullet through her BARN. Crosby was
in the bed with the covers still drawn
over him, and had met his death by
a shot in the right eye.
The little lad, fearful, ran to neigh
bors' and, upon discovery of the trag-
edy, the coroner's inquest was held
The verdict held that both had come
to their death at the hands of Mrs
Crosby. Sudden insanity on the part
of the woman caused the tragedy is
the only solution that intimate friends
can offer. She had been somewhat
Respondent for some time because of
slightly failing health. The couple
lived happily as far as is known. The
will of the dead man was found in a
buerau drawer. 1t left everything to
his wife and children.
Mr.. Crosby was raised in this COM
munity and has been the cashier for
the Bank of Abel for number of
years. Mrs. Crosby was raised at
Arlington, Ga, and was Miss Colley
before her marriage.

not made giving their party represen-
tatton. The Socialists have a full
ticket in the field and are strong in
certain quarters of the county but not
strong enough to elect any of the
candidates.

DoDGING PROHIBITION.

Tennessee is furnishing illustration of
the manner in which prohibition does not pro-
hbn BY Legislative enactment Tennessee is
dry" In the larger cities 'bootlegging' went
openly, as it will where public opinion is
not in accord with the attempt to legislate NOR
ais into the people. To guard against prosecu-
ton by the federal authorities a government IL
taken out by each of those who dealt
in the prescribed liquids
In other states where violations Of the prohi-
bition laws have been winked at by the aethori-
offenders once or twice a year and mulct them
in fines which yield the city or county treasury
an amount equal to what formerly had been ex-
acted as state county or city licenses But
Nashville the capital city of the Volunteer state
has evolved system which appeals alike to the
citizens who resented the foisting of prohibition
upon an unwilling community, and to the ven
ders of spirituous liquors The city has enacted
liquor license ordinance differing in no way
from the license ordinance in effect prior TO the
conversion OF the city into technical oasis ex-
cept in that the ordinance has tackled ON to il a
clause stating that the issuance of a license to
sell liquors shall not be considered as IN any
way offering or bestowng immunity from prose

ton OF the prohibition statute. As the city is
virtually the county and as the enforcement
OF the state laws is imposed upon the county

THE RESERVE ASSOCIATION.

While the newspapers IN some sections OF the
country are discussing the report of the monetary
commission from local rather than a national
standpoint it is nevertheless receiving consider

Springfield Republican, for instance, fears that
New York has not been granted proper represen-
tation in the proposed reserve association. OF
this it saws:
1t would seem as if the last possible
preeaution against domination of the ma
tional reserve association by Wall street
had been taken by the monetary commission
in framing the bill for currency reform
Indeed very strong argument could be
presented to show that the east had not
been justly treated, as the result of the eff
fort to convince the south and west that
Morgan and Rockefeller would not control
the recognized banking system of the
country. The banking power of the United
States as naturally centers i'll New York
