FOR BURGLARY
A White Man Was Locked Up .in Jail This

James Treadwell, a well known white
man living in South Macon, was locked up
in jail this morning by Bailiff Rogers of
Justice Balkcom’s court on a warrant
charging him with the burglary of a
butcher shop in South Macon last night.
The burglary took place last night,
and it is staetd that Treadwell sold the
butcher’s tools which were stolen from the

street car line. Mr. Crowell Moore was

goods were stolen.
MORE MOONSHINERS.
! Commissioner Erwin Having a Busy Time
With Them.
I
The revenue officers are particularly ac
: five just at this time and they are bring
| Ing in many of the offenders.
Yesterday afternoon Commissioner Er
! win heard the evidence against Aaron W.
i Newsom and Willie Hatcher, charged with
i making the moonshine up in Johnson
| county, near Wrightsville.
Newsom pleaded guilty to the charge
and was at once bound over, bu* Hat her
said that he was not guilty, but the evi
dence being against him. too, he was also
bound over.
REFUSED.
Ordinary Wiley Declined to Open New Road
in Rutland District.
Ordinary Wiley this morning refused to
open a road asked for by Califf McKenney.
McKenney wanted a private road opened
through the property of Messrs. Hardy and
Allen.
The evidence went to show however,
that the road was not a necessity and that
as McKenney was not the owner of the
land by which he wanted to to get access
by the private road the ordinary decided
that he could not open the road especially
as the petitioner already had a road lead- j
ing to his place ahd that the new road ■
would simply give him a slightly shorter ’
cut.
McKenney threatens to appeal the case.
DOCTORS ON TRIAL
They Concealed Cases of Smallpox and Will
Have io Answer.
One more case of smallpox was reported
to the Board of Health this morning. It
comes from an alley near Fourth street.
Some excitement was created at the city
hall this morning, by the appearance of a
woman with a case of the disease. She had
called to see the city physician and he at
once saw what was the matter and sent
for the pest house wagon. The people ‘
standing around the hall gave the woman
a wide berth.
Drs. K. P. Moore and Green, the well
known colored physician, were summoned
before the recorder this morning on the
charge of not reporting cases of small
pox.
The case against Green was settled. He
pleaded guilty to the charge but said that
he was ignorant of the requirements of
the Board of Health in this connection.
He said that he would in future comply
with the instructions of the board and the
recorder dismissed the case.
Dr. Moore, however, has decided to carry
bis case to a higher court. His defense is
that the case in question was not small
pox and that chicken pox is not an infec
tious disease. But the other physicians
who have had charge of the case since it
was taken to the pest house say that was
and is a case of smallpox.
Dr. Moore asked for time in which to
secure counsel and the hearing was post
poned.
FASHION’S LATEST WHIMS
In Dainty Jewelry Can Be Seen at Lazarus’
Jewelry Palace.
Never did a prettier fashion reign than
the present one of jewelled belts, and the
daintiest women are vieing with each other
in the beauty of these glittering circlets.
For full dress occasions the gold or silver
belts studded with rubies, amethysts, tur
quoise, topaz oremeralds, are a delight to
the eye, and give the finishing touch of
elegance to the most exquisite toilet.
These belts and the accompanying clasps
are a delight to the eye and make the
wearer feel like a queen in a fairy tale.
Then, to wear with the ever-popular shirt
waist and tailor suit, are stylish seal
leather belts, and belts of velvet in fash
ionable coloring, studded in marvelous
fashion with jewels that are the year’s
favorites. All these, and many other
beautiful things are to be seen at Lazarus’
Jewelry Palace, and make the window
where they are displayed irresistibly at
tractive. Indeed to pass by this particular
window is practically impossible, except
to a woman too old to care how she looks, i
and where is that woman?
