Sunday Lid on Tight
In Griffin Tomorrow:
No Drinks or Smokes
Grand Jury Indicts Druggists
Who Plead Guilty; Cigars and
Soda Under Ban,

GRIFFIN, GA. Feb. S.-Beginning
tomorrow the lid" will be nailed down
good and hard every Sunday in this
place. The Spalding county grand
jury has given Sunday selling knock
out blow by returning several indict-
ments against as many. drug stores and
drinking places for violation of the
Sunday selling laws. The druggists
against whom the bills were returned
have pleaded guilty in chambers be-
fore Judge r. r. Daniel, wo has sus
pended sentence in the cases until the
August term of the superior court. The
presumption is that the judge Is placing
the druggists on probation, and that if
they do not hereafter violate the law
by selling drinks and tobacco on the
Sabbath he will give them the benefit
Of the law.
AS result of the lids being screwed
down tomorrow there is some hustling
around here today on the part of for
mer Sunday patrons of drinking places
and cigar stands laying in sufficient
supplies of that kind to tide them over
till Monday. Bottled drinks are SELL
ing faster than usual today. And the
bootblacks say they are very uncer-
tain whether or not they will be able
to shine 'em UP" on Sunday after

cred that instead of leading the bull, the
bull was leading him, and rather too
rapidly for comfort. That's why the
big plate glass window of Daniel Broth

and 1000 persons in Peachtree street
were treated to bull fight, in which
the spectators we're frequently threat
ened with what toreador is paid to
get, 1t was a great show for twenty
minutes.
1t was in DeKalb avenue. beyond the
station house, that Young Sharkey
dragged Mr.. Milton over curbstone,
snatched the rope from his already
bruised fingers and galloped gaily to-
ward the shopping district. Young
Sharkey passed the police station with
head up and going strong. Several Of
fioers ran out to stop him and changed
their minds. The bull had o clear path
over his choice of boulevards until he
turned into Auburn avenue from Pryor
street and was nearly TO Peachtree.

PROHIBITION FRIENDS
WIN INITIAL SKIRMISH
IN BATTLE IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, Feb. s.-Friends of
prohibition today won the first skirmish
in the fight in the house on the Webb
liquor bill prohibiting the interstate ship
ment of liquor into dry territory when
the house, by q vote of 157 to 6S passed
special rule brought in by the rules
committee for immediate consideration OF
the measure.
The bill is claimed TO have many legal
defects. It carries no penalty for viola
lions beyond confiscation and this applies
only where it can be proved that the
liquor was intended for public sale. Aimed
TO wipe out blind tigers, in the opinion OF
its opponents, the bill win have no effect
at all.
Plans to resort to every available par
liamentary device have been made by OPP
ponents of the measure to avoid forcing
members to go on record as regards pro

SALARY ACT PAY
DAY SAD AFT AIR
Employees in Office of Sheriff
and Solicitor Get But a. Per
Cent of Wages.

Fulton county's first pay day under
the salary act was a dismal affair for
the employees In the office of sheriff
and solicitor general. Sheriff's depu-
ties and bailiffs got checks today for "A
per cent of their January salaries and
the employees of Hugh Dorsey's office
got no checks at all Employees of
County Clerk Arnold Broyles and So
licitor Lowry Arnold were paid in full.
The inability of the county to pay
the sheriff and the solicitor in full was
due to the fact that neither office col
lected enough fees in January to pay
out.
The new salary act does not contem-
plate a general fund out of which all
couny employees are to be paid, but
requires that each office must finance
itself With fees turned in by the
sheriff and court attendance fees paid
this office by the county. A per cent
of the sheriffs salaries were met. So
licitor Dorsey is to be credited with
5000 from the county as a drawing
fund, but this deposit, the date of
which is fixed by law, must be made
later.
Under the salary act the county com
mission is put in charge of the Jail, and
despite this fact seven men of the
sheriff's force are employed there.
Hence the sheriff contends that he is
entitled to Jail fees, but on this point
the county attorney Is doubtful. Jail
fees amounting to some $500 have been
held in allegiance until the commission
can reach some definite conclusion on
the znbiect
