MOONLIGHT PICNIC AT
THE r;ver FERRY.
Last Tuesday night a crowd of.
young people from here had a
moonlight picnic down at the!
f erry.
The party left early in the;
evening and returning about 10i
o’clock that night. About sun-;
set refreshments were spread on '
the ground and all enjoyed them-;
selves very much. They went
down in buggies and automo-!
biles.
Thoso who were invited werej
Misses Bessie Stuckey, Jeddie
Cockfield, Lucy McAllister, Ruby
Mason, Esther Hosch, Marrie
Sutton; Messrs. Tom Mcßae,
Arpad Hicks, Mark McLemore,
Fred McAllister, Jim A. McAllis
ter and Will Evans.
Mesdames Wm, Bland and W.
B. Kent went along as chaperons.
LAWYERS GET HO PAY
FOR TIGER PROSECUTIONS,
Albany, Ha.. May 10. Law
yers appointed by Judge Frank
Park, upon the recommendation
of the grand jury, to assist Soli
citor Heneral W. K. Wooten in
the prosecution of the famous
locker club case, and other al
leged prohibition violation cases,
will get no money for their ser
vices from the County of Dough
erty.
Solicitor General Wooten’s bill
for SIOO, to cover this expense,
was yesterday turned down by
the count> commissioners, al
though Colonel Wooten stated
that he had paid the money out j
of his own pocket.
The action of the commission
ers was taken on the advice of |
I. J. Hofmayer, county attorney.*
who said t hat the commissioners
had no authority to pay the hill.
A peculiar coincidence in this
connection is that Colonel Wooten
and Mr. Hofmayer are law part
ners, thus paresenting a ease in
which one attorney renders a de
cision that has the effect of tak
ing a neat little sum of money
out of his partner's pocket that
is unless the two attorneys who
assisted the solicitor general see
tit to reimburse him.
Another feature is the fact
that Mr. Hofmayer represented
Commercial Club in the
conrt proceedings, as a result of
which that organization went
out of-business.
The two lawyers who were ap
pointed by Judge Park to assist
Colonel Wooten in prosecuting
the locker club and some blind
tiger cases, were Col. R. J.
Bacon, of this city, and Col. J.
11. Tipton, of Sylvester. They
were appointed at the fall term
of Dougherty superior court.

I MT. VERNON BEAT j
BV M'RAE TEAM.
i Mcßae’s second ball team came
down Monday and beat the home
boys to the tune of 7to 5. There
were many errors made on both
sides.
About the fifth inning the
home boys were looking around
for the tall timbers. This is the
second game the Mt. Vernon
boys have lost this season, and
they expect to get in shape and
beat the Mcßae team in the near
future—if poosible.
We must say that the team
from Mcßae was composed of a
clean set of ball players and won
the friendship of all who had the
pleasure of meeting them.
Herschel McAllister did the
pitching for the home boys while
Carl Geiger did the receiving act.
The many errors of our boys
: caused the defeat.
LOUD IN THOMASVILLE.
Thomasville, Ga., May 6. —
“Colonel” Charles B. Loud ar
rived here this afternoon in
charge of Chief Milton, and is
safely lodged in the county jail.
Chief Milton says that he
found a notification awaiting him
here from Bainbridge stating
j that as soon as the Thomasville
parties were through with Loud,
, that he was wanted in Bainbridge
■on similar charges.
Loud is well remembered here
iby many people, who met him
during his stay here last year.
He made a good impression on
many who met him, and several
prominent men were caught by
his Mexican land scheme, among
them a minister of one of the
churches here. He told them he
lid not want any money for
their shares of the land, but on
ly enough to help pay for a
charter, and they are out that
: much.
Loud is said to be wanted in
Marianna, Fla., Chipley and half
a dozen other places in this sec
| tion.
