CAN DESTROY ALL
OF SEIZED LIQUOR
so RULES JUDGE HAMMOND, OF
RICHMOND COUNTY sUPE.
RIOR COURT.

ATLANTA, Feb 24.-The state SUI
preme court handed down decision
today sustaining several important
provisions of the prohibition law pass
ed by the 1876 state legislature,
particularly that clause limiting the
amount of liquor which may be kept
on hand for personal use.
The decision was on an appeal from
ruling of Judge Henry C. Hammond
of the Richmond county superior
court, the ruling having been except
ed to by Pat G.. Carr. Matthew De-
laney, E. M. Green and A. A. Hett.
The property Of these four Angus
tans was raided by the police short
ly after the prohibition law went into
effect May 1 last. A quantity of IL
quor was seized by the officers and
an order was issued by the city court
for it's destruction.
The four defendants petitioned
Judge Hammond for an injunction
restraining the county from destroy
ing the liquor, on the ground that
they stored it. for personal use, that
it was in their possession before May
l and that the law was unconstitu
tional in limiting the amount of liquor
which private citizen may keep on
hand. The state court ruled that the
liquor could be destroyed.

BIG LEAGUE CLUB
MAY TRAIN HERE
If THE BASEBALL PARK is I'M:
PROVED, 1T WILL PROBABLY
BE USED FOR PURPOSE.

A proposition will be made those
one or more clubs of the National
league that If the property will be put
in first-class condition, they will come
here to train for the coming season.
The fact that Dover Han, the beau
tiful county place near here, is own
ed by the big league magnates, is one
reason why this city is preferred f0?
training quarters. In this day of rapid
transit the players could live out
there, coming in each morning and
returning after practice home.
The coming of one club only would
mean at least thirty-fiYe people. which
does lot innclude the sport writer's
of the many great American newspa-
pers, moving picture concerns and
others. To put the park in shape
would mean the expenditure Of quite
a large sum. The clubs would want
shower baths and comfortable ft-
tings as adorn the big parks This
in itself would cost quite sum. as
also would the putting Of the grounds
in frst-class condition. This of course
would have to be the very best, which
the big clubs are accustomed to using
It is understood the baseball mag
mates would keep and leave the same

Compare these documents with the

1t is not improbable that the sigma

That Judge Cohalan, however, Is
held in high favor by the pro- German
