Cites Specific Cases.
This Grand Jury had complete
proof of this fact in the instance of a
specially pathetic case that came be-
fore it-that of a negro. Otis Sprat-
ling, from the Weiuca camp. The
Grand Jury ordered that this man be
transferred to the county hospital for
treatment, and a week later ii was
found that the transfer had not been
made. Ii was on'y after a further de-
mand that anything was done for the
man, who suffered with a cancer N
the breast
Concerning the locker clubs, the
Grand Jury said,
in Atlanta, as in all large citie4 y
there are social clubs organized FOR
the bona fide purpose OF supplement
ing the home life of their members
and visiting friends. The member
ship of these clubs, representing 5he
best commercial, financial and moral
interests of the ciiy. has, so far as
we are informed, endeavored to carry
out the true intent and spirit of the
law on the subject of Intoxicating li1-
ours, and % we have heard
of no disposition to defy them on the
part of these clubs, but rather a ma l.
ifest effort TO comply with Their much
mooted provisions.
Views on Liquor Law.
1T does net seem to us that the
intention of existing laws is to inter
fere with the rights OF the individ-
uals, or even of private groups of
citizens, to have and use Intoxicating
liquors in their homes, but only to
prohibit the sale of such liquors in
public places
These bona fide social clubs ara
strictly private institutions. We have
no reason to believe that any liquors
are there publicly offered for sale, and
we have therefore not deemed 1t nee
eSsary or advisable to formally inves-
tigate the workings of these institu-
tions.
ITO distinguish between the regu-
lar and the spurious, is applied to
clubs. is in the very nature of the
case a matter requiring a great deal
of time and a vast amount of evil
dence.
This Grand Jury, having only a
few days more to serve. was not dis
posed to make a superficial investi-
cation, even though it was claimed
that the possession OF Federal IL
cense was prima. facie evidence of an
ipfraction of the law"
Urge Abolition of Hanging.
The Grand Jury recommended that
| Fulton County's representatives in
| the State Legislature present bill

ishing hanging in Georgia and sub

He it is, who coming after me is

SENIOR PLAY, FRIDAY NIGHT.

The Seniors of the High School, as
sisted by several other persons, will
present the play tonight, Diamonds
and Hearts," which they have most
painstakingly prepared. The net pro-
ceeds will be devoted to the class me-
mortal, which, it has been decided, will
be the placing of electric lights in
the high school building. The lights
are badly needed, as they would
much enhance the usefulness as well
as the convenience of the school-house,
and the class of IA is greatly to be
commended for planning so acceptable
and lasting memorial. In case suf-
ficient funds are not raised in this en-
tertainment, the Seniors propose to
continue their efforts until the full
amount is raised This community is
so sympathetic and so generous that it
hardly seems necessary to urge a
hearty patronage of the affair." and
thus encourage the young people in
their 'laudible enterprise There will
be dancing at the conclusion of the
play, so that really social time will
ensue, and the first entertainment of
the holidays will be pleasant oppor-
tunity for friends to meet and exchange
happy greetings.

DEATH OF MRS. T. H. DAlGRE.

Mrs. Leonie Szabo Daigre, wife of
Thos H. Daigre Of Baton Rouge, died
In Bayou Sara at the home Of her
mother, in the early morning of Sun
day, Dec. Is. The funeral took place
that afternoon, proceeding from the
residence to Grace Church and Gene
terry that afternoon at half past three
O'Clock. Despite the cold, clustering
weather, there was large attendance
|of friends and acquaintance, the
family being widely known, and there
are but few in her native home who
did not know the young, beautiful
woman who had grown up among them.
Every one had witnessed with intense
sympathy the long and heroic struggle
against the inroads of the great white
plague. In this, she was assisted by
all that human skill, or the love and
care OF her devoted husband, mother,
sister and brothers could devise for
her benefit. Change of air gave her
only temporary relief, but the brave
fight went on until hope and strength
were gone. She chung to life because
she found it hard to leave her loved
ones-her only child, daughter, Marie
so much that made existence sweet
in spite of her sufferings.
But in the prime of her womanhood
the end came. She had been a beau
tiful girl of the rich, brunette type and
in spite of the touch of disease and ex-
IRENE emaciation, she retained her
charm to the last.
Mrs. Daigre was 3S years, 10 months
and Z days old.
She was member of Grace Epis.
copal Church, and received it's spiritual
comfort in her last hours, taking
the communion Saturday morning. She
was conscious to the last, calling her
mother only few minutes before her
tired eyes closed forever on a world,
where she had known so much of pain,
but so much also of joy and love. God
has eased the pain for all eternity, so
that her loved ones may picture her
like she was in the beauty of her youth,
transcendently happy in the peace of
Paradise. Besides her husband and
young daughter, she leaves her mother,
Mrs. Szabo, her sister, Miss Elise and
three brothers, Capt Lotzie Szabo,
Messrs. August and Andrew Szabo.
