ANYBODY else with the platform, are eX-

CROSBY'S ESTATE SMALL
Former Governor Of Montana
Left Only $4,000.

The issuing OF letters Of administra-
tion on the estate Of Colonel John
Schuyler Crosby by Surrogate CChalan
yesterday revealed that the former
Governor Of Montana and ex-Assistant
Postmaster General left an estate Of
only $4,000. Colonel Crosby died Au-
gust g in hospital az Newport, r. l.
The letters of administration were is
sued 20 Stephen Van Rensselaer, Cros-
by, a son. who with the exception Of
Beatrice Henderson, Of Washington, a
granddaughter, is the only next Of kin
Colonel Crosby, who served with dis
tnctIOn in the Civil War, and his wife
had not lived together for about thirty
years prior 20 her death, in 1911. The
husband made his home in New York
and Mrs. Crosby established her resi-
dence IN West Virginia. A Few months
ago her son applied 10 the SurroPates'
court 10 have the estate of his mother
declared exempt from the payment Of
transfer tax because she was not a
resident OF New York State.
The son stated that his mothers
fortune OF 100000 had been exhausted
before her death, and that the only
asset Of the estate was legacy Of
100000. Surrogate COhalan decided
that. although there had been no legal
separation between Colonel and Mrs.
Crosby, they had agreed to live apart
for reasons that appeared sufficient TO
both, and that under the circumstances
the wife had the right to establish her
residence where she chose. The Surro-
gate declared the estate exempt from
taxation.

NO DRINK, MORE GROCERIES.

A temperance city means a marked
increase in the grocery trade, says the
Nashville (Tenn) Banner Such is
the consensus of opinion among the
larger stores; and to a majority OF
the small establishments in the resi-
dental districts the change has meant
much more prosperity than the open
saloon allowed them. Credit accounts,
long overdue, paid up, more cash pay
ments and larger trade in the staples
is the record since the passing of the
saloon. When questioned, only those
who had maintained saloon annexes
in connection with their grocery stores
bemoaned the passing of the saloon,
and even they admitted that the
change had meant more grocery bust
ness. The remainder were emphatic
in their declarations that the closing
of the drink shops had meant so much
to them that they would fight their
return with all vigor.

THE SUNDAY
MORNING TRAGEDY

The most cowardly. low down
thing we have every heard of a
white man doing was pulled off
by Ben Barton, a member of the
Fitzgerald police force, last Sun
day morning when he shot and
killed an already seriously wound
ed negro prisoner in Ben Hill
county jail. Saturday night Will
Green, a negro, attempted to
shoot Barton, another officer COM
ing to Barton's aid and shooting
the negro through the head after
which Barton struck the negro
with his billy and broke the
negro's arm. The negro was
carried to the county Jail and
placed on a cot in the corridor
where the doctors might attend
him. Early Sunday morning Bar
ton went to the Jail in company
with a friend and gained admit
lance to where the wounded
negro was lying. He spoke a few
words to the helpless negro and
then fired two shots into his
head, either Of which would have
been sufficient to kill. Barton
made his escape but the people
of that section are so wrought
up over the cowardly conduct of
the officer that every effort will
be made to bring him to justice.

very often hear people say, Doc
tor, how do you account for some
people drinking up to eighty years
old and never being sick?" That is
one of the greatest objections that
people will make to an apostle Of tenn

to stop people from drinking, but what
about Mr.. So and So, who is eighty
years old and has been taking a little
bottle of brandy since twenty years
old every day." 1t is easy to answer
to this if you are a doctor. l very
often explain it in this way. l say:
Now, we have two friends who have

One wheel altogether broken. The
remainder of the automobile is in per-
fectly good order but cannot go because
one wheel is completely wrecked. Mr..
Spences automobile is a little luckier.
OF course he is always a very lucky
man. The man just knocks the var
nish off and cuts one of the seats and
knocks off the top, punches both
sides; but he left the motor and the
motor went. That is the man who
