The Gainesville Eagle. W. H. CRAIG, tCatror and B-.isines« Manager. n,r Gil.. <is matter tUaglo Call Bell Phone No 56 Thursday, June 12, 1915. -J ~V -- OUTLAWING COFFIN TACKS. The town of Monroe in the county of Walton has put the legal ban on cigarette smoking by all under 21 years, in addition to the State law prohibiting the sale of the “tacks" to those under their majority. The ministers asked for the city ordi dinance to this effect; the council wanted expressions from the parents; the preachers got a signed petition of 100 fathers who have boys in their teens; the council passed the law, and it is against the town law for a boy under voting age to puff the weed in paper-rolled from the corp oration limits of the capital of Wal ton. They may smoke in the actual residence of their parents—nowhere else. We hope to see at no distant day every city and town in the country pass such a law. Os all the vile and detest.able things to see it is a small boy smolcing a cigarette —and we have them in this town by the hundred. There is a law against selling cig arettes to minors, and the law is vi olated on all sides. Any kid in town, in knee pants, can get all the cigarettes he wants at any time. Can not this law be enforced? Is any one trying to enforce it? What is the outlook for the future of these boys with this monstrous habit fastened upon them? Nothing blit wrecked constitutions and prem ature decay of the physical and men tal powers. When a man is arrested for drunk enness, the officers always try to get him to tell where he got his liquor, and the patient, being in a repent ant mood, often divulges. Did you ever reflect that cigarettes is almost, if not quite, as injurious to a child as whiskey? Our officers know the law. They know it is being violated on all sides by the vendors. Do they ever try to find out who sells this vile poison to the children? If they don’t, why don’t they? Now, what say the Mayor and Council to having a law making it . a q. child to smoke a cig arette on the streets or smev.„ anywhere else except in his fatness home. Beginning at Jerusalem.

Constables Dismissed By Biease. Anderson, S. C. Juneß.—Allstate constables of South Carolina were dismissed from office today by Gov Cole Blease. The governer, who is here attending the state grand lodge of Odd Fellows said that he had taken this action as the results of the state supreme court’s decision yesterday with reference to the Webb liquor law to the effect that liquor may be shipped into South Carolina when for personal use. I Governor Blease said tonight that under this decision the constables cannot tell which shipments are de signed for illegal use, and they are therefore useless. Fire at Logan's Store. The store of Mr. J. R I.ogan caught fire Tuesday night and considerable damage was done before the fire company could arrive and extinguish the blaze. The fire was discovered by some : of the neighbors in the vicinity of | the store, who broke open the doors and did much to keep the fin? from ! spending until the firemen co«ld I arrive. The fire caught about mid way of the building in a box of papers. Just what caused the fire is unknown. WIDOW OF MUR- DERED MAN IS IN JAIL AGAIN Bartow Cantrell Confesses and Implicates Mrs. Silvey Hawkins. ■ - Sunday night Sheriff Spencer was summoned to the jail, where he and Deputy Buffingtori received the con fession of Bartow Cantrell as being the one who killed Arthur Hawkins in his field near Bellton two weeks ago. He claimed that it was at the in stigation and over-persuasion of his brother, Jim Cantrell, that he com mitted the crime; that his brother had promised him six dollars and a half interest in his still if he would '“help him out.” This confession was the cause of the release of Loss Miller, whom Bartow Cantrell claimed did the shooting, on a $250 bond as a witness. The confessions of the Cantrell brothers caused the rearrest last Friday of Mrs. Silvey Hawkins,wife of the murdered man, who was out on a SSOO bond.

Editor Eagle: Why is it that with all the-etfort our little city is making to keep the streets in more sanitary condition— with all the expenses to which the taxpayers are held in order to pro vide officers for devising and for ex ecution of ordinances—machinery, workmen, and animals—why is it that we are constantly confronted by unsightly accumulations of litter and filth of various kinds and de grees on our streets, from one end of town to another? Why do we-- find papers, some of them torn to bits, scattered hither and yon, from onefcide of the streets |to the other? : I Why do we find fruit peelings of any old kind lying around promis cuously on the streets? Is there no regulation against such? If there is none, there might be wisdom in providing one. Why do we find no space within the limits of the town where we may escape from the torturing torments of the tickling house-fly? He does not confine himself to the house— perhaps he is a suffragist, and does not care*to have his sphere limited to the house. Why do some of the garbage recep tacles provided by the city stand empty, while the flies are regaled on the open streets with the materi al which should be securely covered within the cans, until the city scav enger can make his rounds to take ‘ ■■ y?- -IR| |„ ,-;,m „ 1M || ~, jfri At the present rate, and' under present conditions, how long will Gainesville retain its reputation as a health resort for children? • Transient.

Carlyle Blackwell, the popular leading-man of the Kalem Stock Co. at Glendale, Cal., is a self-confessed law - breaker—a “joy - rider” and “speedbug” of the worst type. When he has any spare time, which is seldom, he drives a high-powered motor car over the California roads at a rate of speed that would do Barney Oldfield credit. “Relaxa tion.” he says. And that in the face of all the strenuous roles he enacts before the camera. ■ kalem stock co / /W - '• . film / fy/ Mr. Blackwell is young, good looking, athletic, versatile, and has brains. Little wonder that his por trayal of character parts is conspic uously intelligent. He is “nervy,” too. Not long ago, while leading a charge in “The Spanish Revolt of 1836,” he injured his leg, and although he was later confined to his bed for ten days, getting himself into shape again, he quickly finished the scene with no I evidence of the pain he was suffering.
