'WINGTON, GA. FRIDAY, JUNE 9, 1905.
R. M. ROSE COMPANY
WINS MANDAMUS CASE.
Judge Pendleton Decides Law
renceville Ordinance Null
android.
Judge Pendleton Tuesday de¬
cided the “Lawrenceville case” in
favor of the R. M. Rose Co., which
asked for a mandamus to compel
the Southern Express Company to
accept and deliver shipments of
whisky in the city mentioned.
The city of Lawrenceville, as
has been previously stated in the
Enterprise recently passed an or
dinauce imposing a tax of $1,000
ou every railroad or express com
pany delivering intoxicants to
consignees within the limits of the
city. After the passage of the or¬
dinance the Southern Express
Company refused to accept ship¬
ments offered by the R. M. Rose
Co.
The latter then applied for a
mandamus to compel the accept¬
ance and delivery of these ship¬
ments. A mandamus nisi was
granted, and on Monday the evi¬
dence and argument, was heard
before Judge Pendleton. L. Z
Rosser appeared for the plaintiff;
Robert Alston for the express com¬
pany, and C. H. Brand for the
city of Lawrenceville.
Tuesday, Judge Pendleton hand¬
ed down his decision, declaring
the ordinance involved null and
void and making the mandamus
absolute.

Covington vs. Oxford.
Two games of ball have been
played with Oxioid during tne
past week—one victory going to
both teams.
The game last Fiiday afternoon
was fast and snappy and resulted
in a victory for Oxford. The score
stood 4 to 3 in their favor.
The second game of the week
was played Wednesday. It was
slow and ragged and the errors on
both 6ides corrpsponded with the
number of runs made by the win
wing team. There was no inter¬
est manifested in the game, among
the players or spectators. The
score stood 14 to 0 in favor of
Covington.
Politzer, the local pitcher sruck
out twelve men, gave up four hits
and made two hits. Bradshaw
put up a star game in center, tak¬
ing in everything in that territory
and making two hits, one a two
bagger.
The Covington boys will play
the Piedmont Athletic Club Satur¬
day afternoon on the home ground.
This contest will be hard fought
and bids fair to be one of the pret¬
tiest of the year. Irb Norman will
be in the box and Carter Franklin
behind the bat. On Monday the
Monroe boys will be here for one
game.
Prettiest Oxfords, both tan and
black to be had at Cook’s.
Notice.
For the convenience of our cus¬
tomers, we have opened an ice
depot in the T. A. Perry stable,
East side public square, where you
can get ice at all times during the
day. HUSON ICE WORKS.
The next few days there will be
something doing at the baseball
park. The Piedmont Athletic
Club, one of the strongest amatuer
teams in Atlanta, will play here
tomorrow, Saturday. Ou Monday
Monroe comes tor one game and on
Tuesday and Wednesday the Mil
ledgeviJle boys will come for two
gaihes.
mLL ASK FORSPECIALTERM.
A Strong Petition Will be Sent
Judge Roan Asking For
Special Term.
Lum Walker, the wife murder¬
er, may probably go to trial at a
special called session of the Supe¬
rior Court within the next few
weeks.
A st rong petition, signed by ev¬
ery citizen in the district in which
the killing occurred, asking that
Judge Roan call a special term of
Superior Court to try Lum Wal¬
ker who killed his wife some foui
weeks ago, has been forwarded to
the Judge.
The petition was circulated in
Covington Wednesday morning
and in a short while a number of
signatures were attached.
The question is now squarely up
to Judge Roan who will decide one
way or toe other within the next
few days.
The killing was the most dia¬
bolical ia the history of the county
and a strong sentiment is against
the prisoner.
Talks From Augusta Herald.
The mercenaries have stopped
personalities for a while anyhow.
They evidently discovered the fact
that the people could not be thrown
off of an old scent any longer.
The Sylvania Telephone alludes
to Sidney Tapp as the “defunct
manager of the Guerry boom. > >
Now we won’t stand this. Sidney
may be foolish all right enough,
but he is by no means defunct.

Prof. Howard W. Odum.
The Enterprise is pleased to note
the success and prominence which
is attending our young friend,
Howard W. Odum, in the educa¬
tional field.
He graduated from Emory last
summer and accepted at once the
chain of Greek and Latin in the
college at Toccopola, Miss., which
he ha6 taught with great success.
In connection with his regular col
lege work, he h« completed the
A. M., degree at the University of
Mississippi.
He received a telegram Wednes¬
day offering him the chair of Latin
at the University of Mississippi
during the summer months and
special lecturer at the State Nor¬
mal College. Mr. Odum will
leave Monday to take up the wmrk.
These two latter offers are high¬
ly appreciated bv Mr. Odum and
his friends and come in the nature
of a surprise. These tokens but
go to show that his services are
appreciated and valued and he has
many Newton county friends who
rejoice with him in his success.
Miss Turner’s Musical.
The musical given last Tuesday
evening by Miss Turner’s pupils
was one of the most enjoyable
events Covington has had m years,
Every pupil rendered her part well
which showed a great deal of study
and careful practice. Miss Turner
has shown marked ability as a
teacher, this having been her first
year in the schools here. Every
parent went home feeling they had
done well in placing their children
in the hands of such a capable wo¬
man. We are delighted to know
that Miss Turner will teach again
another year in the school.

Covington, Ga., June 7, 1905.
Editor Enterprise —Please al¬
low me, in behalf of the veterans’
committee of this camp on confed¬
erate monument, to return our
sincere thanks to all those who
have so promptly and liberally re
| sponded to the call for subscrip
tions to the monument fund, made
through the Enterprise two weeks
ago. We have been greatly eii
couraged in our work of fine by
their liberal response to our call
for aid.
To those of our people who have
not vet contributed to the monu
ment fund, we confidently appeal
for , such . amount . .. they may
an as
, le9ira to R ive, it i« hoped every
citizen of the county will contrib
,ute something to this patriotic
! fund. We hope they will do so at
| once, in older that the work
may be started on the inonu
! ment as soon as possible. About
: $200.00 or $250.00of ,« subscrip
turns are still needed.
_uiptions “oTfu on t ie ist w .c tv
trust the subscribers will come for
ward and settle at once, as every
! day they delay in doing so, only
j retards the progress of the com
; mittee in its work.
The early building of the monu
ment now seems so nearly assured
that our people cannot afford to
lose this opportunity to secure
foi tha lack of the paltry sum
which is still needed for the work,
and which we confidently trust
those who have not yet contributed
to the fund will do so at once, and
let us start the work of building
the monument,
We honor ourselves in honoring
the dead heroes of our county who
lost their lives in defense of their
homes and country,
Thanking you for your kindness
in publishing this appeal in behalf
of the veterans, I remain,
Very respectfully yours,

Our friend Chas. G. Smith, of
the Covington Enterprise, announ ¬
ces that on September 1st he wilD
convert his paper into a semi¬
weekly, thu3 giving just twice the
news service he gives at present:
In view of his large list of sub¬
scribers who are reached daily by
rural deliveries, this seems the
proper thing for our brother to do,.
The Enterprise is one of the best
papers in the State, and the people
of Newton county will no doubt
show due appreciation of thiastroke
of enterprise on the part of its
publisher. - Madisonian.
