Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—Failure to en
force the prohibition law in Georgia
can no longer be attributed to the fail

keenest sorrow to all.
For many months he has been an ia-

was not unexpected. Through the
long months of illness he bore his af

upon him.
Mr. Sams was 41 years of age and
unmarried. For several years, prior to
the beginning of his fatal illness, he
held tile position of manager here for
the Virginia-Carolina Chemical Co.,

Uncle Sam’s broad domain is there
a nio/e handsome or more perfectly
arranged postofflee building.
When the massive doors are finally
opened to the public It will be a priv
ilege for all to enter and inspect the
new postoffice, for any description of
it, however minute as to detail, will
not adequately (Userlbe the boau'y
of the Interior and the convenience
of arrangement there.
Upon the first floor, at the main en
trance, is the long tiers of letter
boxes, over 300 In number. In the cen
ter is the general delivery windows,
while to the right are the windows of
j the several letter carriers.
Occupying spacious and elegantly
arranged quarters at the left Is the
money order department where Assist
ant Postmaster H. C. Mitchell and
•Money Order Clerk Glover will pre

ter F. P. Mitchell opens from the
right, into the main mailing room.
In this great apartment, occupying
the main center of the building. Clerks
A. B. Howard, S. A. Sullivan and D.
W. Robinson, with other assistants,
will handle the mails
Well arranged quarters are provid
ed for the city letter carriers and the
R. F .D. forces as well.
Upon the second floor is a large
et.ue licenses. It will be open to pub
lie Insjjectlon—as much so as a hotel
register. Anybody can see It that
wants to.
And It will be a pretty complete list,
too, because where ten men are will
ing to take a chance on prosecution
for vlo’atlng the state prohibition law,
not more than one can be found who
has the temerity to fail to conform to
the government .statutes.
Most "blind tigers" have paid the n-
tornal revenue license. In fact, up
wards of DO per cent, of them have.
Hereafter every man or woman tint
takes out a license must within thirty

“Form 10,” which will be kept open for
Inspection.
The order was issued In November
but has up to this time not been en
forced, for a reason that no penalty
was attached to a failure to comply
with Its requirements. Upon recent
date, however, a general order was
issued by the Internal Revenue De

(Special to Tlmes-Recorder.)
Atlanta, Ga., May 2.—Virtually
all hope of catching, by means of a
clue, the three negroes who murdered
Motorman S. T. Brown last Saturday
night and fatally wounded Conductor
Waller Bryson, has been given up;
and it Is now generally believed that
if they are ever caught it will be after
one of them has given his secret
away.
Such indiscretion can be safely
counted on as a probability, and
where more than one negro Is ifl-
volved the ch'ances are even better.
Almost Invariably a negro criminal
will take somebody, generally a wo
man, Into his confidence, and almost
Invariably when he does so the secret
leaks out.
Notwithstanding the fact, however,
that not a hint of the identity of the
negroes has been obtained by the po
lice, they are still at work on the case
and half a dozen specially assigned
detectives are putting forth, all their
energies in an effort to bring some
thing to light
The fact that thc negroes took the
watches of their victims led the police
to hope, for a few days after the com
mission of the crime, that a clue would
turn up at some of the pawn shops,
but thus far the watches have not
been seen.

Doan’s Kidney Pills at different times
for five or six years and I have
been very much pleased with the re
suits. I was troubled by weak kid
neys and bladder and was very anx
ious to get relief. When suffering
from one of these attacks, I used
Doan’s Kidney Pills, procured i
Dodson's Pharmacy, and they promp
ly drove away the complaint. I have
no hesitation In recommending this
remedy.”
