To Pieces
Judge and Mrs. Cobb barely
escaped what might have reselt-
ed seriously Sunday afternoon
had they been in the vehicle
when the horse became frighten

They were out on a persimmon
hunt. Stopping at the first tree
ladened with the luscious fruit,
Randell proceeded to shake it,
which scared the animal. The
surrey was badly damaged.

Gus Pool. W. W. Pryor and W.
N. Stokes returned yesterday
from the Kiamkhi mountains in
the southeastern portion of the
state whither they were sup-
posed to have gone ten days r.jro
as members of the Frederick-
Byford expedition in quest of
big game.
News of the success and fail-
ure, ups and downs and varied
experiences of the party pre-
ceded the return of the trio, a
brief resume of which the Dem
ocrat is pleased to present for
information of its constituency:
Gus Pool got lost the first day,
and on account of wild cats,
nakes and other ferocious ani-
mals had to climb a tree, where
he was forced to remain for 36
hours. He finally induced his
pursuers to retire a short dis-
tance and made his getaway.
When he arrived at camp he was
without raiment and in a half
starved condition. The report
further states that Gus never
got out of speaking distance of
the cook again.
Bill Stokes, having been raised
in the jungles, seemed to be very
much at home. He spent most
of his time perched on the top
of a mountain shooting the tops
out of pine trees and hunting
chewing rosin.
Pryor is said to have been just
as vigilant after game aa he is in
prosecuting criminals. After
several days scouting he killed
one little grey squirrel mud se-
cured a pot shot at a covey of
quail, fell in the creek and has
since been busy trying to break
up a severe cold.
In his wanderings Sheriff Twi-
nam found a big black bear
which he mistook for a Seminole
county outlaw. He ordered the
bear to throw up his hands, but
— when last heard from the sher-
iff was in the lead with the bear
a close second. It is now pre-
sumed that he reached camp o k.
When last heard from Freder-
ick was in the neighborhood of
Ft. Smith. Just what attracted
his attention that way is not
known, unless, as believed by.
other members of the party, he
was bitten by a snake and went
on a hunt for medical attention.
Byford finally got rested after
the tiresome journey, and at last
accounts was able to take on a
little nourishment. It is to be
hoped that the outing will serve
as a tonic and that his genera’
health may be improved.
But the boys had a great time.
Brought back a ham or two as
evidence that they had really
been “somewhere.”

Responsible
Three-fourths of the cases
that go before the state court of
appeals are due directly or in-
directly to the excessive use of
intoxicants, declares Chief Jus-
tice Ben Hill of that tribunal in
an opinion handed down by him
in the case of Will Langston, a
Cherokee county youth, convict-
ed of manslaughter for killing of
his father.
This opinion is ^as strong as
any sermon or temperance lect-
ure against the evils of drink,
in it Justice Hill says:
“The fact of this case presents
another of the daily occurring
instances snowing the monstrous
and measureless evil of intoxica-
ing liquors. This hydra headed
and remorseless monster, with
ceaseless and tireless energy,
wastes the substance of the
>oor, manufacturers burdensome
axes for the public, monopolizes
he valuable time of courts, fill
ails, penitentiaries and asylums,
ruins homes, destroys manhood,
erroizes helpless women and in-
nocent children, baffles the
church and mocks the law, and
answering its inexorable de-
mands, ‘each new morn new
widows mourn, new ophans cry,
new wrongs strike heaven in the
face.’
“fneae are the products of a
curse imposed, not by the decree
of God, but self-inflicted by the
voluntary conduct of man, its
weak and wicked victim. Judges
of criminal courts, speaking from
official experience, nave grown
weary of calling attention to the
drink nabit as the principal
cause of crime, and notning the
writer could say would add wO
this manifest truth. But I can-
not refrain from saying that af-
ter five years’ ub.ier vation of the
cases that have bt- before this
court, tnree-fou. n of the
crimes are du ; < My or indi-
rectly to the ex .:e . e use of in-
toxicants, and t in.. the church
and the state and public senti-
ment couM ultimately make
Georgia soL the , .i^ons would
be vacant, i * -gangs emp-
ty, and the c... towns and
country would be with
prosperous homes.”-.
Will Langston, 19 years old,
killed his own father, who had
come home beastly drunk and
drove his sick wife, the youth’s
mother, from her bed into the
night. The youth resented this
treatment of his mother. The
father frenzied with liquor,
cursed his son, knocked him
down, cut him with a knife and
threatened to kill him. The son
then picked up a atone used as a
door prop, and hurled it at his
father, it striking him on the
head and killing him. He waa
tried and convicted of man-
slaughter and appealed for a
new trial, but the court of ap-
peals could find no error on
which to send the case back to
the lower court. Consequently
the decision was affirmed.
Judge Richard B. Russell, a
member of the court of appeals,
approved the findings in the
case. Judge Russell is running
for governor as a local option
candidate. Local option, as in-
terpreted by ths voters in this
campaign, means to legalize the
sale of liquors.—Atlanta Consti-
tution.
