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. New stock of umbrellas, parasols and fans at Cook’s. Go to see him if you wish to keep cool 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.

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. —o— Advices from the ^Vtskirts an¬ nounce that Judge ho is still running, but covii ’SjkA. 'Hidia, 4 ty iit tie ground.

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.

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. VETERANS LEAVE Will Make The Trip by The W. j & A., Railroad—Fare For Round Trip $10.22.

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, J.
