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.

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.

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.'
