Waterloo, S C.
The .Supreme Court, in the case f
the Tutonia Club against Howard, an
appeal from an injunction in the Su
perior Court of Bibb, to-day decided
that a social club paying a specific !*x
for keeping or permitting to be kept
Intoxicating liquors in a room for fhc
use of Its members is not authorized
to sell such liquors to its members
Tt left the decision of what con
stitutes a sale, however, for juries to
determine.
In the case of Tayior against the
vState. from Bibb, the Court of Ap
peals handed down simultaneously a
decision virtually setting up the same
rule.
Jii the Tutonia Club case Tony Cu
lm, the manager of the so-called Tu
tonia Club in Macon, was enjoined in
Judge Matthews’ court by the Law
Enforcement League, from selling in
toxicating liquors to the members cf
the club. His place of business was
declared a nuisance and closed, lie
appealed to the Supreme Court, and
the decision of Judge Matthews was
affirmed, but the order of injunction
was modified in such wise that Cuteo
stands restrained only from selling
intoxicating liquors—whatever that Is
and his place of business is not nec
essarily to remain closed as a nui
sance
Outsiders Also Served.
Cutro’s place was ostensibly a so
cial club. It had an enrolled mem
bership, collected nominal dues, and
theoretically maintained a locker sys
tem. Members were served after al
most any old fashion, and not infro-
. quently outsiders were served also.
I The place had an internal revenue li
cense and a State locker club license.
Tt was contended in appeal that Cu-
•tro, having been licensed by the Sta*a
to maintain a locker club, could nq£.
then be stopped by the State from op
erating it. The Supreme Court ruled
that Cutro could be made to suffer
that very indignity, it, appearing that
he was not doing the thing the State
auhorized him to do. And that he
was doing an unlawful business, the
Supreme Court seemed to think Cutro
himself admitted.
The court of review held that, it Is
proper for a court of original jurisdic
tion to close an alleged "blind tiger”
temporarily as a nuisance, for the
purposes of an interlocutory Jiearing,
but that it could not close such place
ipermanently as a nuisance without a
jury hearing.
Jury Must Decide Cases.
The object of litigation designed o
determine whether a club is a nui
sance can not be attained permanent
ly through a process of injunction
without Jury hearings, so the court
holds; but a defendant may be re
strained permanently from violating
that portion of the prohibition law
which says intoxicating liquors must
not be sold in Georgia.
The points left for the juries of
Georgia to determine, therefore, seem
to he: First, what constitutes a sale
/inside a club. and. second, when Is a
n1 usance not a nuisance?
With plans carefully laid and car-
ried out for the creation of great
wave of interest in * Go-to-Church
Day," the pastors of Atlanta are
prepared to set a new high record
for church attendance in the city
next Sunday.
ft is the general opinion among
those w’ho have been working most
enthusiastically on the proposition-
Ihat at leas', twice as many persons
will he insiC'j the churches next Sun
day as ever have attended on any
one day in Atlanta before.
The enthusiasm of the ministers
Jims been imparted to the congrega
tions and Ip very indication points to
ward a record-breaking turnout, of
church-goers. Committees have been
at work in many of the churches and
have seen that every person on the
membership roll has received a per
sonal and urgent invitation to be
present at both the services next
Sunday.
An accurate count will be made at
morning and evening services. Mem
bers will be especially delegated by
the pastor to count those in attend
ance and report to him.
Every pastor and rector In Atlanta
Wednesday will receive return post
cards on which they will enter the
Total attendance at both their ser
vices. These they will mail Imme
diately after the evening service so

Woman Again To Be

Paris Puts Ban on
Unguarded Hatpins
t
WASHINGTON, Dec 9.—Upon the
recommendation of Congressman Frank
Park, of the Second Georgia District,
Mrs. Nellie Brimberry will be reap
pointed as postmaster at Albany.
It is understood to have been the
intention of the late Congressman S.
A. Roddenbery to ask Mrs. Brimberry’*
reappointment and Judge Park 'ha*
decided to take similar action

Puckett said he shot his mother, mis
taking her for a burglar.
PARIS, Dec. 9.—An ordinance

to wear hatpins with unprotected
points In street cars or in any public
place was issued to-day by the Pre

Warr was to-day granted restitution

nary step to a divorce.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.— The egg
corner has been broken, and boycotts
may be declared off
Tills was the good new* sent ont
to-day by the Department of Agri
culture “egg specialists,” who an
nounced that pullets on the Govern
ment farm as well as throughout the
country “have at last begun to lay.”
and already many poultry owners are
reporting a 60 per cent egg produc
tion.
The reduction In the price of egg*
recently is due to the industry of
the pullets, according to the Gov
ernment specialists, and not to the
boycott. This new supply of fresh
eggs now beginning to reach the mar
ket “necessarily has reacted on the
prices at which storage eggs have
been held,” savs the report.

But mental activity is dependent for its success-making
results, upon the way both body and brain cells are fed.
Right feeding isn't a matter of quantity—most persons
actually eat too much. But the selection of the right kind
of food helps wonderfully to make men and women active
and successful.
The fact is, some every-day articles of food are so lack
ing in certain food values as to make their common use more
or less a menace to physical and mental well-being. (Consti
pation and a run-down physical condition are readily traced
to this lack.)

Particularly is this true of food made from white flour,
