SEMI-WEEKLY.
SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA, FEBRUARY, 12 1908.
ESTABLISHED 1841
SOLOMON NEWSOME OF
DAVISBORO IS DEAD.
Was Prominent and Pop
ular Citizen. Had Many
Warm Friends.
Solomon Newsonto, of Davisbo-
ro , is doad. It seems hard to rea
lize and harder to chronicle, that
one of Washington county’s best
and most promising citizens is no
uiore.
News came to Sandersville yes
terday that Mr. Newsome was des
perately ill with pleurisy, and
shortly thereafter a messenger
brought the sad messago from his
bedside that the end had already
come. The news was a shock to
Mr. Newsome’s many friends in
Sandersville, because it is not
many days since he was among
tho visitors to tho city, appearing
in the very best of health, and no
one then dreamed that ho was
paying his last visit.
Mr. Newsome was about forty
years of age, of handsome and
d i * „„„ --"nee, a genial and
Toliust appmu**- ’ “
■clever gentleman, easy to ap J
proach, and won scores of friends
by bis manly and generous dispo
sition always. He was one of the
county’s leading farmers and busi
ness men, and regarded as a lead
er of his community and his coun
ty’s best citizenship. He will be
sadly missed and his death gen
erally mourned.
Mrs. Newsome, who is left a
widow by his untimely death, is
quite well known in Sandersville
and has many warm friends here
who extend sympathy to her in
her sad loss.
At the hour of going to press
we have no news of the funeral
arrangements.

STAR IS ORGANIZED.

CHAIRMAN JORDAN
CALtS COMMITTEE.
February Fifteenth Date
Fixed for County Com=
mittee Meeting.
Judge E. W. Jordan, chairman
of the county democratic execu
tive committee, has issued a call
for a meeting of the committee at
the court house in Sandersville
for Saturday, February to, which
next Saturday, and at that
time the date will be fixed for the
county primary.
While it is not known what will
Lie dohe by the committee, it is
believed that the voters willjpre-
fer to have the date fixed at the
same time the state primary has
already ordered, thus avoiding
the necessity for two elections.
Each member of the committee
was mailed the following not : ce:
Sandersville, Fell. 10, 1908.
The members cf the democratic
executive committee of Washing
ton county are hereby called to
meet at the court house in Sau-
dersville on Saturday, 'February
15th, at 10 o’clock u. m. for the
purpose of ordering a demociatic
primary, fixing its date and c
termining rules to govern the
same. Each member of the com-
mitteo is urged to be present.
E. W. Jordan, Ch’m.
J. M. Tanner, Sec.
In a test liquor selling case in
Augusta the point is raised that
the recent enacted prohibition law*
is void and unconstitutional by
the lawyers representing tho de
fendant.
They set out that it is obligato
ry on the part of tho state to pro
vide a common school fund which
must bo raised by - specific pro
vision by taxation^ of liquor as
provided by article 8, section 8,
paragraph 1 of the 'constitution.
A number of clauses offtheconsti
tution of 1807 aro cited in the
showing that the law is now a
solid and legal one, and the con
tention is made that the general
assembly can not abdicate its con
stitutional duty of levying this
tax, as is manifest in article 4 of
the constitution,
It is further contended that
tho law is not constitutional as in
conflict with “the enumeration of
rights herein contained as a part
of this constitution shall not be
construed to deny to the people
anv inherent rights which they
may lm. V0 hifcherto enjoyed.”
That “this dec* lara ^* on a l )ftl ’t
of this constitution ftnd GhaTi
never,be violated on any pretense
whatever.”
Tho demurrer was overruled and
the case will be appealed to the
supreme court of the state. By
announcement of counsel—the
test being made by Salem Dutcher
and W. K. Miller—the fight is to
be a long and hard one and will
probably go into the Federal
courts in a very short time.
CHAIRMAN JORDAN TO
ENTERTAIN COMMITTEE
At Dinner at the Gilmore
House on Saturday,
February 15th.
Each member of the democratic
executive committee of the couuty
has been invited by the chairman,
Judge E. W. Jordan, to luncheon
at the New Gilmore hotel next
Saturday, February 15th.
The invitations to the members
wore mailed out Monday, the hour
given for the luncheon being stat
ed at one o’olbck, as it is thought
the committee will have finished
the business by that time.
While it is not known just how
many have accepted this invita
tion, it may be counted certain
that each member who can possi
bly do so will be glad to eujoy the
hospitality of tho chairman and
the delightful lunoheon which
Mrs. Jordan, the manager of* ♦he
Gilmore, will be sure to provide.
