IVo have .understood that It was not Incumbent upon us to make any general presentments, so will report only on matters that have come to our atten tion In the administration of matters brought before u». Raffling. Complaint was made to us that rat tling, In direct violation of the state laws, was being carried on In the coun ty. We are pleased to report that with the co-operation of Chief Rowan, of the county police, and Chief Beav ers, of the city police, each of whose diligence In this matter we desire to commend, this has baen entirely •tupped so far as we can learn. Wc investigated the practice most thoroughly and found It ws# doing great harm, especially among the boys, and further, that it was working a se rious hardship on the large number of merchants who. had not resorted to such devices to Increase tbelr trade We recommend the rigid enforcement Of this law In future without any ex ception whatever. It Is gaming and comes directly under the provision of the state laws. Prohibition and Sunday Tippling. Tour honor charged us to look into the observance of the prohibition law and the Sunday tippling law by the Imker clubs. We are of the opinion that both of these are being violated by many of the clubs. We are further "f the opinion that our police authori ties could reduco the violation to r minimum by taking prompt steps to In vestigate these clubs, and by making such investigations at frequent Inter vals. Wc recommend to the .succeeding xrand Jury a careful Investigation of these, as we are convinced that It Is an evil that Is growing rapidly, and one that can be easily checked by the proper authorities.

Washington, Dao. 28.—The steel schedule of the Payne tariff law prob ably will be the first to be revised by the Democratic houac, according lo chairman Underwood, of the ways and means committee, who returned to Washington today. Underwood Indi cated that the rate of the proposed re vision would closely follow the steel bill of last session, which reduced from B0 to 40 per cent the present duties on steel. Chairman Underwood also said the sugar and chemical schedules may be revised before the house takes up the wool bill. "We will not get the report of the tariff board from the government print ing office until about January 10,” said Underwood. “It will take several weeks to check the report and I don't see how we can report a wool bill before some time In February. I predict the steel schedule will be revised In the house during the next month and we will probably dispose of the sugar and chemical schedules before the wool bill Is ready.” . , _ Chairman Underwood said the Demo crats are willing to go to the country on a tariff for revenue bill. He was not In clined, he said, to take stock in reports that the free raw wool Democrats would make a hard fight to take all the duty off raw wool. It la understood the chair, man still favors a duty on raw products and he probably will have hla way.

Morae de dared Thursday morning that If further denials were forthcoming from Super intendent of Prisons Ladow and War den Moyer, who -had taken it upon themselves to deny stories of Morse's treatment at the time hB was placed In 'Itary confinement In a dungeon and i*r facta connected with Morse’s In carceration, they believed It would be necessary for the entire facta to be mode public by congress thru an open, public Investigation. In this event a resolution asking for this will be introduced in congress. Attorney# for Morse and his friends are non- convinced that false reports have been made to the attorney gpnerul and the president regarding Morse's condition, and when Warden Moyer ami Superintendent Ladow atteinpted to deny things which were postlttvely known In Atlanta to be true. It was determined. If necessary, to have a con gressional probe lay bare the facts. Sent to Solitary Call. At the time Morse was sent to soli tary confinement on bread and water, for giving a sick boy prisoner about to be discharged a paltry sum of mon ey, every effort was made by Warden Moyer to keep the story from being made public. The facts leaked out, and then tlie warden gave out an "official" statement of what had taken place. This statement, however, coincided practically with what had been printed about It at the time. Prisoners In solitary confinement are fed on broad and water. Dispatches from Washlggton quoto Warden Moyer and Ladow as denying this. At.the time he gave out ills "official statement, Warden Moyer, while not admitting that Morse—even then a sick man—waa fed on bread and water, said the noted prisoner did not get anything but that “he could have had something If he wanted It." The Fact* in the Case. ■ Aa a matter of fact Morse wa* given tha regulation diet of bread and water and he did not have the "cenvenlence* of all other prisoners,’ as declared Wednesday In LaDow's denial. Hla bed consisted of an Iron-slatted affulr hinged on the walla nnd he had no bed clothing. Moree slept on these iron alata the best he could, with Ills coat rolled- up under him. When he wus finally taken out of this solitary dun geon It waa upon the order of the prison physician, and he was removed to the hospital, passing blood from Ills kid neys in an attack of Bright's disease. Notwithstanding the fact that aur scons have decided that Morse's condi tion Is grave, It la believed that certain officials have tried to counteratt these reports, and It Is believed that these efforts have b*en the result of personal prejudice.

More^than 200 entrants have thua far been "heard from nnd more than 2,1)00 birds en tered. And ns yet the start haa hardly been made. Before tho last scattering < entries arc rounded up the entry Is likely to everton all Southern records, ('. O. Harwell, secretary of the Geor gia Poultry association, was out of tho city Thursday, judging a poultry allow at Winder, Ga., and for that reaaon the entrlea received In Atlanta Thursday have not yet been placed In the hangs of Acting Secretary Reynolds. But counting those which arrived up to the time of the last delivery Wednesday, . all old marks had been shattered. It la only a question now of where on earth all the birds are to be put. The verdict or the members of t ■ Georgia Poultry association who gath ered from time to time at the heud- . quarter# of tha association Thursday morning for a brief jubilation meeting was that th# entry would be the most’ representative in the history of the as sociation. It Is already certain that It will number the very best of tho prize winners at previous Southern shows. But more than this, It will be notable for the exhibits made by pouitrymro who have never hitherto ahown In any event. • All the popular classes have alrr.idy been well filled by the entries thua far - received and recorded. There Is not a well known variety of fowl but will ho represented with u strong showing. And more than that, there will be strong exhibits of unusual breeds. For Instance, J. W. Dalhouse, of At lanta. has put In an entry of Jungln Pit Games; Ml’S. (7. A. Blalock, of linl- Inckvllle, Ga., has entered some Blue Leghorns; the Buttercup Poultry Farm, of Bedford City, Va., haa entered a number of Sicilian Butercups. Thoso are only a few of the odd and unum il varieties that will be on exhibition. The entry of J. C. Flshei & Son has been received. These moat famous breeders of White Wyandotte# hava named ten single birds and one pen and naturally they will be the very tin- <t of the breed. The presence of the Flshei birds, along with the very best In the South, aaaures me moat ton:.I sort of competition In this class. The Mottled Ancona entry Is already strong; In fact, an extremely surprising number have already beep named and the strength of this class In number# will make it rank close to the White In dian Runner duck entry, which wilt Im the largest ever made at any allow. The turkey division is filling well nnd there will be a fine lot of Mammon. 1\ Bronzes on exhibit when the doors aro thrown open. The entry of'birds raised by children, for S, B. Turman's Hexagon real estato prize. Is especially large And this ex- SI hlblt will be of particular interest. T 1 limited to.birds raised by children un der fifteen. It will contain some bird*, that could make a good showing In tho open classes of any average show. It Is expected that Secretary Harw . II will be in Atlanta Friday and at that JJ time the entries will be carefully check ed thru and some authoritative line oh- • talned on the exact number of entries.
