Cafe Metropole, a saloon in tne heart
of the business section of the city,
next Wednesday, when the case will
come up as the first on the docket at
the criminal session of the city court.
Judge William F. Eve presiding.
The Metropole was the first saloon
in Augusta to be raided as the begin
ning of a vice crusade inaugurated
here about a month ago, and which,
while it has been unusually quiet to all
appearances, has been growing in
magnitude until the saioon men, as
well as the gamblers, have applied the
“soft pedal,” so to speak.
The case against the Cafe Metro
pole was thrown out of the superior
court by Judf'e Henry C. Hammond on
the grounds that the captions of the
petitions for injunction, were not the
same and varied.
The criminal process was then re
sorted to, and the outcome of this case
is looked to with interest, some of

The famous Adder machine case has

and was slated to be argued today in
superior court chambers.
The case read the Adder Machine
Co. vs. J. W. Adams. The evidence
in the case had been heard on last
Saturday, January 3.
In the evidence last Saturday the
Adder Machine Company, who were
plaintiffs in the case, attempted to ;
show that J W. Adams, a salesman ■
for the Burroughs Adding Machine
Co., had used unlawful means in com
petition with the Wales Machine Co.
Mr. Adams introduced evidence by
affidavit from prominent men
throughout Georgia and Florida, sus
taining in a iost flattering manner

as a salesman.
When the case was called for final
argument this morning, counsel ror
the plaintiff made a motion to dismiss
the case.
