THE LICENSE IS RAISED ON GEORGIA “BEER” SHOPS Atlanta, Aug. <>. —The House to day by h vote of 111'-' to 24 passed tint Wise “near later” hill, put ting n tax of s2<K> on all dealers 111 id SBOO mi all manufacturersand distriliiiting agents of that well known I leverage. Extensive opposition to the measure was silenced by the clem ination from it of the provision limiting tin- amount of alcohol in near beer to 11 per cent., ami making anything over t lint a vio lation of the state prohibition law. If t lie author had not agreed to compromise 011 tins basis the measure would probably have been defeated, at least by filibustering especially, as it came to the House w ith an unfavorable committee re port. This report was disagreed to and after defeating an amend-! mnnt which proposed to make the tax sf»o instead of s2<H* the House passed it CHATHAM DEMOCRATS WON’T ENDORSE BRYAN A special dated at Savannah Aug, 6, says: j “By a decisive vote, the Chat ham County executive committee today refused to puss resolution endorsing the candidacy ot Wil liu 111 J. Brown for President. The resolutions would have pledged the count’y Democracy to 11 nq mill lied support to “that peer less leader and standard bearer'’, and as soon as it was read was promptly tabled. The tabling motion was made bv Alderman A. S (iuickenheimcr, who declared j tlie committee had no right to speak for the Democrats of the j county many of win in had bit terly opposed the nomination of Brvan and still oppose him though he is the Democratic candidate. The resolutions were intended to uct us a binder in holding the sheaf ot votes in the county for Bryan ami begins the statement that “there is talk of the county Democracy bolting ilm national ticket and supporting the Repub lican nominee.” A CONSCIENTIOUS JUDGE. Everyone present at any time in the court room is impressed with t he conscientiousness of Hon. John 11. Martin, the presiding judge. That he is a fine judge of law, | every one admits, ami that he de sires at all times to get at tin* law as it. is and the tacts as they are, is believed by all. Judge Martin does not rush in § his work,preferring to make haste ; slowly. He is painstaking, cour teous to all the officers of the court, jurors, witnesses and law yers, and is full of energy. Hu works all the time. He is busy at something far into tin* night. His evident purjioae is to dispatch the business promptly and correctly. \'» citizen of the county need at huv time regret that Laurens was transferred to the Oconee circuit. Dublin Courier-Dispatch. The alone compliment coming from one of the best and most induential papers in the state will be read with a great deal of genu ine pleasure by Judge Martin's multitude of friends in this,Mont gomery county. Judge Martin being so attentive to his work, and so kind and courteous to his co-workers ami the |HH>pls in gen eral, he makes friends wherever he goes. An Indiana man swallowed a feather a few days ago, and it was only by the most heroic effort that his life was saved. We pre sume that he was almost tickled to j oeatli.—Kastman Times-Jourual. 1 SOME USE DYNAMITE WHILE OTHERS USE ROPE In the mining district close to Birmingham, Ala., there seems t< be considerable trouble now-H --da vh. One night last week Will Miller a negro union miner was charged with throwing dynamite at the house of Finley Fuller, a non-un ion miner. Miller was arrested and locked up in the calaboose id Brighton. The following night he was escorted by a number of sympathizers with non-nion labor ers and hanged to u nearby tree. The discovery of the lynching was not made until the next morning, when a deputy went from Birm ingham to transfer Miller to the county jail at Birmingham. The rope used was 11 small cord, the I negi'oe’s arms being tied, but his i legs were free. No studs wore ! tired und none of Hie residents of the neighborhood re|K>rt hear ing any eoinmotion. Miller had been arrested on the charge of a bloodhound trainer that the dogs which took the trail from the Fuller house wentstrnight to Miller’s quarters. The rear of the Fuller house was demolished by the dynamite explosion, but none of tlie occupants were hurt. The lynching of Miller occurred just after u vigilance muss ineet -1 ing had been held at Brighton. The meeting was attended by more than a hundred lending citi zens of the place, and resolutions condemning violence were adopt ed. The meeting ended near mid night. Leaders of the vigilnnts declare they luid nothing to do with the lynching, A score of deputies were sent to the scene by i the sheriff, ami efforts are being ' made to discover the guilty men. The Governor was in conference with the sheriff, ami it was gener ally belieyed that morn state t roops would bo ordered to the scene of trouble. The Governor has under advisement the question lof proclaiming martial law, and it is believed this will he done.

A SUMMER SUBSTITUTE FOR MEAT. In the August Woman’s Home Companion Fannie Merrit Far mer gives a number of hnt-weatli er substitutes for meat. One such substitute consists of cheese and macaroni croquettes: "Break macaroni in half-inch pieces: there should l»e two thirds of a cupful. Cook in boiling salt ed water until soft, drain in a colander, and pour over two cup fuls of cold water, to prevent pieces from adhering. Add thick white sauce made of two and one half tableapoonfuls of butter, one third cupful of Hour, one cupful of tuilk, one fourth of a teaspoon ful of salt and a few grams of popper; then add one third of a cupful of grated cheese. Spread on a plate to cool. Shape, dip in crumbs, egg, and cruiuhs again, fry in deep fat,and drum on brown paper.” Pay for your paj*er, and prosper ! THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, Al G lib 190* SPICY PARAGRAPHS FROM THE SAVANNAH PRESS. One of the best business men in I Tattnall is now in New York fig uring on a knitting mill for Ha j gun. I Bryan’s speech of acceptance will only be five thousand words. He does not get a dollar a word for this. Ex-Governor Dand R. Francis, it is reported, is a candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in 1912. A cuisine in a neigh boring state think that “the Democrats ol tieorgiH should insist that Watson keep out of their kitchen.” Lincoln Typographical Union 'elected W. J. Bryan an honorary member. This is equal to Taft, who is a member of the Steam ! Shovolers. Mr. Kern has requested that he be not notified until late in Sep tember. He might wait until J November, and hear the whole j thing together. Prof. Henry C. Adams, the vet eran statistician of the Interstate Commerce Commission, prophe cies for the coming ten years such prosperity as the country bus nev er known. John Temple Graves calls Wat son the dictator of the Populists, and says that New York gave the Independence League more votes than the 'populists*,voted in the last national election. DEATH OF WASHINGTON DESCRIBED IN OLDIPAPER Friday’s Atlanta Constitution 1 has the following interesting nows i item : “H. D McCutcheon of 191 S. Pryor street is the my nor of u very valuable and at the same time his toric relic—a newspaper published 108 years ago, and containing an account of the death and funeral of George Washington. The name of the paper is The Ulster County Gazette, and it was published at Kingston, Ulster county, New York, Saturday, January 4, 1800. There are four columns to a pag" and only four pages. The second and third pages contain the story of Washington's death, and, us evidence of its true regret, all the column rules are “turned” and a heavy black border extends around the inner pages. The account of the funeral of Washington was headed “Wash ington Entombed,” and was dated I Georgetown, December 20. The last page is taken up with advertisements, which are very unique. The typographical style is the one which is gradually com ing back into vogue—that of sim plicity. One of the most prominent ad vertisements in the little sheet offers for sale “a stout, healthy, [active negro wench,” The Gazette has been in the possession of Mr. McCutcheon for over fifty years, and it has grown so worn and yellow that parts o( the reading matter are scarcely visible. He has framed it so that both sides can lie read, and he bus been offered at different times large amounts of money for it.” ANOTHER NEWSPAPER FOR ATLANTA Pensacola Flo.,Aug.6—Louis P. Head, one of the men in charge of the Independent party in Florida returned to Pensacola today and stated that within thirty days W R. Henrst will have a newspaper in operation in Atlanta as the plans for such a move were con summated thirty days ago. He also stated that within the next sixty days Uearst, Htsgen and Graves will tour the Stat“s of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, speaking at many point o , among th«m being Atlanta,Birmingham, j Montgomery, Pensacola and Jack sonville. Mr. Head is one of the coin-'- mittee to notify John Temple Graves of his nomination for* Vice-President on the lid f>en-1 dent ticket. |, THREE OF A KIND-ALL GO OUT ALIKE The Lynns Progress says: “We have it from good authority that Alonzo Williams, the negro lynched here last week, had two {other brothers, Itoth of whom had ■ been.lynched for a similurofFense. It seems tlmt the family came from Pike county and the three brothers went to different sections of the State. Two of the brothers were lynched at Griffin, one du ring the Spanish-American war, and the other a few years later. It is rather remarkable tor three brothers to suffer dentil in the same manner and all at periods years apart, but the tacts as men j tinned aimvo are said to he abso- ;lately correct. Hon. John Temple Graves can didate of the Independence party > lor vice-president underwent a I slight operation Thursday in a private hospital in New York city. It was announced after the op eration that Col. Graves was resting comfortably and that it was expected lie will be on his feet again within ten days or bo. For Year’s Support.
