Items of Interest Too Short for Heading

Wednesday the Columbus police raided the second floor of the Old Reliable beer 
saloon building on Broad Street and arrested ten young white men on the charge 
of gambling.  A load of gambling paraphernalia was hauled to police 
headquarters.  It is said that this is the first move in an aggressive campaign 
to be waged by the local police against alleged gambling practices.

T. Hicks Fort will be a candidate for reelection as solicitor of the city court 
of Columbus.  He will be opposed by Herman Swift and probably T.L. Bowden.

It is being told over the circuit that Lawyer Frank McLaughlin, of Columbus, 
will in all probability be a candidate for solicitor general of the 
Chattahoochee circuit.  Mr. McLaughlin is a well informed lawyer and a fine 
gentleman.  He has so far made no definite statement of intentions but is still 
considering the matter of entering into the race.
