noteworthy decision Just .banded

Brunswick, against the City. The
Appe'late Court reversed the fine
assessed on the clubs by the lower
court, holding that the mere accu-

in Two Months, All Victims
Being Old Fanners,
Union, S. C., Feb. 1.—R. R. Cole
man, an aged farmer, living near
. Jonesvllle, this county, died today
from -the effect of wounde received
last night, when an unknown as
sassin shot him through a window

Coleman was alone at the time,
his grand-children having gone to
.visit neighbors. The money in his
pocket at the time remained un
disturbed.
Washington, Feb. X.—The United
States Treasury today : ecolutlonlsed
waiurwu. Blood hounds wero puti lta business systpm ani placed the
on the trail, but no clues to tbe as-
thelr souls and complexions would
probably both be better off at the
-iid of that period,” the rector Is
ouoted as saying.
The rector points out to socie
ty women that It Is not well to re
nounce one gaiety tor another, to
put aside dancing, for instance, for
the solace of bridge.
As a matter of fact Lent this
year ie going to make very little
difference In the Atlanta society
whirl, speaking generally. Some In
dividuals In the Episcopal church,
of course, will adhere strictly to the
rule to give up the delights .of so
cial festivities, but as a general rule
dancing, bridge partlee, theatres and
formal functions will go right on up
to Easter. Atlanta society has never
been very particular In Its obser
vance of the Lenten season.

At'anta, Feb. 1.—Because his

across the shoulders, a young man
named E. Harris camq out partly
victorious In a suit with a tailor, In
the Superior Court today.
The Jury cut the gordlan knot

which fit him well enough, and
making the tailor take back the
coat, which did not fit him.
Harris put on the ofTendlng gar

Concert by Thomasville Artists.
The Pelham Journal of this week
contained the following notice of a
concert given In that city by Misses
McCrea and Johnson and Mrs. J. S.
Hunter, at a recent date:
The recital at the school au-Utor
lum Monday evening was choice In
Its every feature and distinctly
high class.
With faultless skill and unusual
artistic ability the numbers were
ren dered.
Miss McCrea’s piano selections
iWere given with that delicacy and
accuracy of touch that marks the
true artist and Interprets to hear
ers something of the spirit of the
great composers.
Miss Johnson Is without doubt
the most artistic violinist it has
been the pleasure of a Pelham
audience to hear. Every note that
came from the wonderful Instru
ment was true and spoke the spirit
of the accomplished artist. Her
selections were from the masters
and were dealt with as by the hands
of a master.
And none the less * choice and
perfect in delivery were the read
ings by Mrs. J. Scott Hunter, who
captured her audience at every ap
pearance. Her readings were not
out of keeping with the choice
piano and violin numbers but easily
fitted in as a part of the artistic
whole of the evening’s entertain
ment.
The recital was thoroughly high-
class throughout and a rare treat
to those who were so fortunate as
to hear It.
MBS MIMMS TRANSFIGURED
Christian Scientist Did Not Expect
Anything But to Ascend to
Heaven Without Dissolution.
Atlanta, Feb. 1.—A remarkable
anl astonishing fact In connection
with the death of Mrs. Livingston
Mims, the Atlanta woman who pars
ed away In Boston yesterday, is
that the distinguished and beloved
woman believed until the last mo
ment that she woulJ lie transfigured
and would ascend to Heaven with
out tasting the pangs of dissolution.
That such was her hope, even on
her death-bed, Is learned here this
morning, through letters from
members of the family. Mre. Mimsi
was well known a’l over Georgia
and the South as a leader In ad
vanced thought. Her writings and
lectures are familiar to most Geor
gians.
Her theory when her final Illness
came, wae that death could be over
come by humanity; that the body
might be redeemed through spirit
ualization of thought, and that
transfiguration rather than dissolu
tion would follow.
