WAS PREPARED
FOR ARID SPELL
Dry Rulings by Courts Did Not Catch
c. B. Wallace Unprepared-Has
Beer Returned to
Him.

When the courts ruled against the
lindiscriminate carrying OF liquor into
dry territory by express companies.
and only allowed a select few with
carefully worded permits in the re
ceiving line. c. B. Wallace, 100 John
son street, journeyed to Warsaw and
provided himself with a large stock
of beer and wf1iskey as a protection
against the arid spell that promised to
make Keokuk as dry as Sahara with
out even an occasional oasis.
This stock he planted in some nice
ly hidden spot and at intervals has
made raids on his treasure. At least
that's what he declared in the super
Tor court yesterday afternoon when no
appeared to claim 10S quarts of beer
and forty-eight half pints of whiskey,
wet goods recently siezed by the po-
lice. He said that the beer and whis-
key was for his personal use and that
he had just laid in a new supply from
his plant and had no intention of sell
ing any of it. AS the police had no
evidence of sales, the court ordered
the beer and whiskey returned to him.
The police who made the raid testi-
fled that two women ran out of the
back door Of the place when they en-
tered. They also declared that the
beer and whiskey was found back of
a stairway and was hidden by a
kitchen cabinet.

down Twelfth street hill toward John
son. When the boy reached the
intersection he made a wide curve TO
proceed out Johnson to his home, two
blocks distant, and it was on the west
crossing that the accident occurred.
Barns, when some distance from the
corner, sounded his horn to warn a
boy who was crossing the street on
foot. As he approached the inter
section, he saw young Hit coming
down the hill, and he Immediately
put on his breaks and called out to
the boy, who heard the warning, but
neither was able to avoid the col
lision.
Boy Taken to Hospital.
After Barns had stopped his car
he came back and with the assist
ance of ]. W. Talley, grocer, 112S

The ligiments in his left elbow are

PLANS To
HAVE GREAT FAIR
COMMITTEE NAMED By CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE TO FORMULATE
PLANS FOR FIRST EXHIBITION
NEXT YEAR.

ALBANY, G., Oct. 10.-Albany
hopes to be the site of the biggest fair
in this part of the state next fall.
The matter has been under advisemenv
for some time and came up for discus
sion at the meeting of the directors of
the Chamber of Commerce last night.
A committee consisting of President
C. w. Rawson, President A. w.
Allison and Secretary John H. Mock,
was appointed to draft preliminary
plans to be submitted to the full board
of directors at some future meeting.
Several prospective sites are in view
and it is hoped to have this end of the
matter in such shape as to be able to
report on it when the meeting is held,
1t will be the purpose of the body to
organize permanent fair association,
buy tract, build suitable buildings
and make the fair an annual event for
Albany and southwest Georgia.
OF course, most of the plans are
only in the tentative stage at present,
but the idea back of the fair is to
make it great deal more comprehen-
sive than the average county fair. AL
bany is the logical trade and market
center for southwest Georgia, and the
leading distributing point south of Ma
con. 1t will be the purpose of the fair
association to interest the nearby
counties of Georgia and Alabama, and
to encourage county exhibits from all
over this section.
The comittee proposes to go to
work on the matter right away to
get plans in shape and be able to tell
the directors at the next netting ex-
actly what is required to give Albany
the best fair ever held in south Geor-
gia.
