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. ORDER OF EASTERN STAR IS ORGANIZED. With a Large and Enthus iastic Membership Offi cers are Chosen. Mrs. Henry D.

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. n am r, ftivu. u.
