SOCIAL EVENTS OF THE WEEK P»«W
FOR MR. DUREN
ELK HOUSE WARMING
WAS NOTABLE AFFAIR
The memory of th# "pldriit inhabl- the supposedly clear character of
Mr. Martin Cooper- A great number
of witnesses were summoned-but the
the state succeeded In impeaching
the character of a majority of- them,
■pie defence put up a strong array
of testimony and bettings was on
Cooper’s side until Messrs. Jamqs
Gribben and Jim Brown were Intro-.
-tant” hardly runs back to the time
when a more elegant or completely,
successful entertainment was held
.In Thomasvtlle than, that furnished
by the Elks at their ‘housewarming.’*
The decorations, both persona] and
-floral were the characteristic features
of the evening. The social realm of
Thomasvllle was present en masse, tfuced as expert witnesses on the sub
ject of graft. Realising that thence
forth hts case was hopeless the attor
ney for the defense put In a plea of
guilty anl begged for mercy. Mr.
Cooper was released from custody
:and so great a number of elegantly
gowned women has never before been
together within the' annals of Thom-
asvtlle’s history. It Is even rumored
that the fashionable modistes of the
city would like to form a league with
the Elks for such an event efery so
often.
The first thing that. attracted the
eye upon* entering the hospitable
doors was such a completeness of fior
al decorations, as almost obscured
the walls. Roses there were in the
greatest profusion, profusion that
could have been called extravagance
In any place where roses do .not grow
with the kiss of every aunbeatn., For
an hour after the guests began to ar
rive conversation was engaged In
around the bowl of fruit punch down
stairs. t
At '9:30 the assembled elite,were
summoned to the lodge ball dn-fbe
second floor, where plates had.'been
arranged In an Immensd ’’E” shaped
table, for one hundred and eighty
Inn makers. Fntry Into this Edentc
place showed that the lower floor
was only a place of preparation. Qn
the center table was a bowl of roses
that opened the eyes, of even
the home people. The roses to this
one bowl would have almost filled
a wagon pad the arrangement of them
In the* bowl by the deft Angers of
Mrs. 'jyheeler set them off to perfect
advantage. The rostrum on which
was Seated the orchestra was a bower
,ot smilax, completely biding the mus
icians. . Suspended ’from the celling
an|l looking as if they were let down
by silver threads from the garden
of the morning were six wreaths of
white chrysanthemums. A frieze
smilax encircled the walls and from
ltb meshes hung dozens of Japanese
anterns.
Above the door of the banquet hall
hould have been a sign “Who enters
here leaves bare behind". Fast did
flow the wit that those who might
have wished for a flow of stronger
spirits, forgot their thirst and drank
the “Well Spirits" prepared by Chair
-man Cooper of the banqpet commit
tee. Toastmaster McCartney set off
the fireworks after the moving of the
plates from the first course, with the
introduction of Past Exalted Ruler
W. C. Snodgrass as the speaker on
the subject “The Whole Bunch.”. At
opportune Intervals following him,
tlnlely after dinner talks were re
quired from Hugh McIntyre, on the
‘Branded Maverick,” J. H. Merrill,
on 'Our Dears,” Irwin McIntyre on
“The Hoad of the Herd,” and Rev.
O. S. Whitney on "The Eleven

Tho next prisoner at the bar was
an old offender operating under the
alias of Robert Gamble. The charge
preferred against Mr. Gamble was
that of selling to the city of Tbomas-
vllle a pile of Junk and rubbish un
der the name aad title -of an electric
light plant. In view of the evidence
rendered at the polls only a few
hours before It was supposed that
Mr., Gamble could establish his In
nocence, but Attorney Snodgrass ad
vised* him to.plefld guilty and he as
sented for the matter to take this
course. In view of the plea and the
extenuating circumstances he wgs al- yjiell, <w. A. Pringle, Wllllapl Mil-
lowed to pay a line of only, sixty,
thousand dollars. - Being unable to
pay the fine In cash he was, released 1
bn’ a verbal bond of thirty 'centri.
Mr. James ,S.. Hopkins was convict
ed of huhtlng "deajs” out of season.
President Hunt of Young’s Female
CAllege was the star,witness against
the defendant.
A large part of the allotted time of
the court was taken up with these les
ser cases before the very Important
charge of peonage' was * brought
against Postmaster DIsmuke. The
gentleman was charged with keeping
Mr. Alex Hargraves) In a state of In
voluntary servitude. The evidence
was overwhelming and much to the
chSirai of hts friends, who were con
fident that tho,,popular postmaster
could not hove .Intended to break
the law of the lodge," be was con
victed and subjected to the humiliat
ing experience of haring to borow 20
cents to pay himself out of limbo. On
account of the near approach of day
light a number of other cases had to
bo continued to the next term of
court.
The whole event was, In effect, de
nominated a success by a rising vote
of thanks- to Mr. C. \y. Cooper, chair
man of the entertainment committee,
without whose enthusiasm and Inces
sant labors,’It would not have been
possible. The entire supper was
prepared In the building by William
Wynn, the steward of the Elks, and
In view of the limitations under
which he worked could not be criti
cised.

GUARANTEED
. CURE.
CATARRH
“Hyomel Costs You -Nothing If It
Falls.” Says ji W. Peacock
Among the many medicines upon
tho market that claim to cure catarrh
none but Hyomel has enough faith
In Its own merit to offer to refund the
money If it does not cure.
•This sAentlflc remedy for catarrh
kills the microbes and germs of the
disease and from Its Introduction has
been sold, under a positive guarantee
to retufn the money to all dissatis
fied customers.
Hyomel Is the only method of
treatment that sends by direct Inhal
ation to the more remote parts of tha
air paasages, a balsamic air that de
stroys alt catarrhal germs In the
breathing organa, enriches aad purl-
flea the blood with additional oxone,
aad makes permanent and complete
cures of catarrh, .
The complete outfit costs J1 a Ml
comprises an Inhaler, a bottle of
Hyomel aad a dropper. The Inhaler
will last a lifetime and additional
bottles of Hyomel can be obtained
for Ed cents.
Breathe Hyomel for a few min
utes four times a $ay and your ca
tarrh will grow better from the first
ddy’s use-and will be completely
cared within a short time.
Do not try to sure catarrh with or
dinary stomach medicines. Breathe
the healing Hyomel which goal to
evory part of the air passages and
respiratory organs, killing the ca

Sentence of Fines labor
And Jail In Whiskey
Case.
Mayor Roddenbery In police circles
yesterday gave the limit of the law
to Mr. Tom Duren, accused of having
on hand for sale Intoxicating liquors.
This sentence amounts to a fine of
299 pnd costs, 90 days labor on the
public work* and *» day. jail.
A motion for certiorari will be made
and In the meantime the defendant Is
at liberty under a preliminary bond
of 91>000.
The court room was crowded with
people to hear the testimony. The
first witness was put up after At
torney Titus for Mr. Duren made de-«
rnand for Indictment and trial by Jury
both of which were/overruled. He
was a negro Jesse Slater, who swore
that he bad purchased from Mr. Dur
en on the 22d of this month a quart
of whiskey, paying |1.25 for same.
He also testified on the 12th of this
month, Sunday, he bought a half
pint of llqnor from Duren, which the
latter brought,to him in Salter's liv
ery stable.,. On cross examination
it was developed by attorney that the
negro had been convicted of burglary
in Thomas county and of stealing a
bicycle In Florida. ' In the former
case he paid a fine and In the latter
case he worked ten months. The
negro also swore that he had been
promised by the officers-that If he
would tell where he got the liquor
he would not be punished. Mar
shal Stephens testified to the search
made of Mr, Duren’e premises and of
the finding there, of five halt barrels
of bottled goods. The liquor bought
by the negro and samples of that
found dn the search:, were nut on ex
hibition In.the court room.'
Attorney Titus fought every step
of the proceedings and the city was
represented by Attorney Snodgrass.
Mr. Titus asked that the evidence of
the- search be'‘excluded and cited
authorities to the 'effec} that it was
Illegal. The mollon was overruled,
la sentencing the defendant the mayor
gave a talk of somo length on the sub
Ject of blind tiger;. "Me aald that
the evidence was conclusive nnd that
It showed that the defendant had for
some time been, engaged in a train«
that debauched and demoralised. He
said that such trafllc must cease and
that the sooner It ceased the better.
He stated that theordlnary rule for
a first offense of only a fine would riot
apply In this case. He gave the lim
it of the law and only regretted that
he could not make It twice as much. \
