A WORTHY THOUGHT.

While some folk will manifest inn patience at the special committee ap- pointed by the mayor to , choose a nelius B. Erwin, others will extend to the men of this gathering vote of thanks for their cool, calm, col lective deliberation. While they have not yet reached a decision on just what shall be suitable memorial they have at least determined that the name of Walnut Hill Park shall remain, and that the New Britain In stitute shall also retain it's present appellation. Were MT. Erwin's great est admirers consulted they would not rule otherwise.
 The suggestion has been advanced that a bronze tablet be placed in the peergola intended to be erected at Walnut Hill Park. This indeed is good idea. For some time the per- gola has been contemplated and if 1t is erected tablet to the memory Of New Britains philanthropist could find no more suitable situation.
 Because of fear that the board of finance and taxation will not be v~y liberal in it's apportionment of money needed to carry out any ideas ad- vanced, the committee is somewhat loath to suggest seriously consider elaborate designs for the memorial. This should not be so. If the city of New Britain cannot afford to spend the money on this worthy memorial then the people of New Britain on their own initiative and by public subscription would be- only too glad to show the: manner in " hich they appreciate; the memory of their early benefactor. Every man, woman, boy and girl in the city who has ever had occasion to visit Walnut Hill Park must needs know that this enjoyment was made possible through the good heartedness and generosity of Cor nelius B. Erwin. A collection of nickels and dimes would even suffice to show the appreciation of his bene- ficiaries. Having done so much for his fellow townsmen, surely no one would begrudge little mite in re- turn And if the board of finance and taxation feels that it cannot in jus tice to the taxpayers of New Britain afford to spend a suitable sum of money the people of New Britain should be informed of this in due time so that plans and preparations for campaign might be formulated. cam paign to see that the memory of Cor nelius B. Erwin is ever kept fresh ill the minds of New Britain folk.
 There is bit of sentiment attached to the erecting of a memorial to any man, and when such an undertaking is considered it should be done right or not at all To go at the project in half hearted manner or to seriously con slider the setting up of something mediocre, something that will not weather the storms of time, would be a waste of effort and precious mo- ments.

United States Court Jury Decides
Against Cotton Brokers.

LOCKER CLUBS TRYING
TO "BRIBE" SOLONS
is SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE
BY STATE PROHIBITION PA
PER IN LAST ISSUE.
OFFERS DRINK TO LAWMAKERS

In Letter Extending COurtesies of
Club to Legislator Humorous Ref
erences Are Made to Snake Bites
and Sunstroke.
Trying to corrupt and bride the in
coming 1915 legislature with booze
is the latest charge that has been
hurled against the Atlanta locker
clubs by the Anti-Saloon League.
This most sensational allegation is
launched on the front page of the
Georgia Commonwealth, which has
just appeared, and of which the Rev.
G. w. Eichelberger, state superin-
tendent of the league, is managing
editor.
The article reproduces a letter
from the president of a locker club
rendering the cOurtesies of the club
(alcoholic drinks in particularly to the
members of the legislature, and en-
closing a free annual membership
card to the club.
The Commonwealth comments on
the reproductions in part as fol-
lows:
THAT the blind tiger locker clubs
are daily and hourly violating the
laws of Georgia nobody doubts, but
that they have gone into the business
of inducing lawmakers Of the state
to join them in this perfidy, may be
a new proposition to some. But here
is the proof. The head of locker
club in the very heart of Atlanta has
invited members of the incoming
state legislature to do, while here
making laws for the people, what
judges have ruled to be a-direct and
indictable infraction OF the laws Of
the state"
Further down in the column the
letter is printed in full, addressed 10
the members of the house and SEN
ate. The letter makes humorous al
lusions to snakebites, sunstrokes and
other things for which liquor is sup
posed to be a remedy, and then says:
I'm order to prevent such accidents
happening to any members of the neW
house and senate, l beg to enclose
you an antidote for all such diseases
in the shape of an annual card to our
club. This may save much suffer-
ing and l regard it as a great human
itarian act. -'' that | may hav
the pleasure of meeting you during
the coming session, and assuring you
that we have planted a fine crop or
mint iuleps, which will be ready to
be pulled about the third Wednesday
in June, I am, Very truly yours"
The letter is signed by the presi-
dent of the locker club.

tinuing or repeated transactions of a
similar nature, provided that the

ing the provisions of this act; pro-
vided, however, that it shall be made

Bearing on Dawson Cases.
The state court of appeals in an
opinion handed down Saturday held

city of Hawkinsville, had not had a
fair trial, in the meaning of the law,

I4g the case back for a new trial.
The superior court denied a certi-
orari, and Porter appealed.
The court of appeals held that
zone charged with the violation of a
municipal ordinance is, equally with
those charged with greater crimes,
entitled to a fair trial; and that an
alleged violation of a municipal ordi-
nance cannot obtain fair trial with
in the legal intendment of the term
before a mayor who has offered to
pay $50 for the conviction of a par

proposition not to admit of argu-

1t is claimed by some that the de-
cision will have a bearing on the tiger

by Mayor Bell some time ago on the
evidence Of a paid detective.

RURAL SCHOOL
TAX is ILLEGAL
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
in Greer Case From Early County
Reversing Judge WOrrIll.

ATLANTA.-The levy and colleH-
ton of a special school tax for a
school district created Independent
of a general division OF a county
into school districts is illegal. accord
ing to a decision handed down yes
terday by the supreme court of Geor-
gia.
The case decided was that of Greer
ct al, versus J. G. Loyless, tax collect
or of Early county. Greer and 9TH
ers applied to Judge Worrill of the
Early superior court Off an inJunc-
ton to restrain the tax collector from
collecting a special school district
collecting a special school tax in the
Rock Hill school district, claiming
that the laying off of the district was
illegal because the balance of the
county was not laid off into school
districts.
Reversing Judge Worrill, who re-
fused the injunction, the supreme
court held that under q proper con
struction of the law the laying of
of the county into school districts
means the laying off of the entire
county and not part thereof.
"a laying off of less than the en-
tire county into school districts, "
says the decision, is not such di-
vision of the county into school dis
tricts as is contemplated and provid-
ed in the act referred to, and where
there has not been such a division
and laying out of the county as the
act provides for the levy and collec-
ton of a school tax by virtue Of an
election held in any particular dis
trict is illegal null and void"

MATTERS BEFORE

Prohibition, Compulsory Education
and Other New Laws Are to BE
Fought for at Next Session.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Prohibition, COM
pulsory education, woman suffrage, a
new auto law and the establishment
of an insurance commissioners office

matters that will receive considera-

legislature, which meets June 22nd.
The last mentioned problem that
of a separate insurance commission,
is advocated by the insurance inter
ests of the state.
This would mean the creation OF a
new statehouse office, but would not
necessarily make any increase in ex-
pense to the state.
Governor Harris'will be inaugural
ed as the successor of Governor Sla-
ton on Saturday following the meet
ing of the Legislature.
