Torn Allen.
The State Pardon Board now has under
cutuddei atioii an application for commu
tation oi tue i.culeuct of lorn Allen, the
young man *bo killed Charlie Carr, a
oaruuder, while temporarily insane irom
the use of Intoxicant*, and wno has been
tH.-titem.cd to bang lor his crime.
All the circumstances surrounding the
death of Carr were sad, and the tragedy
was deplorable from every standpoint.
But it is the duty of the Pardon Board, it
seems to us, to weigh this case front a dif
ferent point of view. The point of view,
to be very plain, that regards Allen ihim
et ls as the victim of the business in which
Carr was engaged.
Tom Allen was a fine specimen of young
manhood. He was big-hearted, good na
tured and brave. He was not one who
could bear ill-will toward another for a
day. But he had a weakness; indeed he
was cursed with an affliction more terri
ble than insanity, more pitiable than any
hereditary physical taint that flesh is heir
to.
The average man does not understand,
cannot even remotely comprehend the
physical, mental and moral conditions that
allow a man to become the victim of the
whisky habit. The average man will tell
you that every man is responsible for his
acts whether drunk or sober; that he be
comes intoxicated through bis own famt,
and that lie is, therefore, entitled to no
sympathy for the trouble that he thus
brings upon himself. These same people
contend that no man becomes entirely
IrrtMsponsible under the Influence of liquor.
You w'ill even hear men who are addicted
to the habit themselves argue the most
vehemently on this point.
How little they know about the real
curse of this disease. They make a mis
take, in tlie first place, by judging others
by themselves; in believing that because
liquor affects them in a certain way it
affects all others In the same manner.
Those who have never used intoxicants at
nil are, manifestly, not competent to give
an opinion either way.
But the testimony of those who know,
from actual experience, the contrary of all
ithese theories, should be considered of far
greater value. There are men in Macon
today, holding positions of honor and
tru:«t, respected by all who know them.
'Who arc Torn Aliens -in all except his
present predicament.
Fortunately for the world, these in
stances are few, but they exist, and wher
ever one of these unfortunates is found
there the world will find a man who is to
be pilled rather titan censured.
Science has found a name for every
weakneea that afflicts mankind. The law
recognizes and accepts Hie evidence of
science in nearly all infractions growing
out of these diseases except in that of
dipsomania. It would, perhaps, be idle to
make such a plea, because of the manifest
danger involved in acquitting men of all
responsibility for their acts while intox
icated. But positive evidence of such an
affliction can. without detriment, be ac
cepted as an extenuating circumstance,
and, at least, secure mercy for tlie other
victim of that terrible evil. Where no
malice or motive is shown.
Tills is Tom Mien's case in a nutshell.
He .must suffer, as he has suffered, 'for
•the curse with which nature has afflicted
him. and for the unlawful act that is the
outcome of this curse. But who is so
hard-hearted as to deny that he is entitled
to mercy—even the mercy which God him
self shows to those who are so afflicted.
If it were not for raking up the bitter,
almost forgotten past, we could recite oc
currences that would have made certain
respected, honored citizens of Macon mur
derers even as Tom Allen is—but for the
skill of physicians or the slight deviation
of the bullet or blade. Acts committed
by men who knew nothing of the circum
stance until reason had been restored, and
■who, to this day. are as ignorant of the
occurrence that almost made them a mur
derer as if they had not been present.
Ts it possible that liquor so affects some
men? Do not seek the answer of those
who have never been so affected; ask of
those who know from terrible experience
that, it is too true. Then why will such
men drink? Why will some men become
sick with fever? Certainly not fn r >h e
pleasure of the delirium that follows. Sim
ply because nature makes it so. And they
are as morally responsible for their acts
of violence in a fit of delirium as the dip
somaniac is while insane from liquor.
Why. knowing this, does a man ever go
near a barroom again, why raise a glass
of the deadly fluid to his lips? Why does
the maddened horse rush wildly into the
burning building, to be cremated alive?
Ask of that. Divine Creature who made
ns what we are, even unto the lowest or
der of animals.
The law. whether wisely or unwisely,
does not recognize such a plea. There
fore Tom Allen has been made to accept
full responsibility for an act which he
knew nothing of, until told all of its hor
rible details the next day, as he lay in a
cell slowly recovering his reason. But
men who are entrusted by the great state
of Georgia with more than judicial pow
ers, such as are the prison commissioners,
are expected to go outside of the letter of
■the law in their effort to see that injus
tice Is not done even the humblest of the
citizens of this state. They can and must,
very properly, take into consideration
many things that could not properly go
before a jury. They must review this rase
in its broadest light. And in doing so we

The People Demand It.
Avts of lawlessness continue to occur
almost nightly in Macon, and the police
aeem powerless to prevent them. This
as The News has clearly shown, is no- the
fault of the police, but is due entirely to
the fact that those sections of the city in
■which these nightly holdups occur are
practically without police protection, ow
ing to the limited number of patrolmen on
duty.
It begins to appear that those who com
mit these depredations are fully posted as
io the habits of the few policemen
stationed in the residence portion of
the city, and know the exact time these
patrolmen are required to report to head
quarters through the call boxes.
For instance, the officer who patrols
College street must report at a certain
hour from the Rose Hill cemetery call
box, and next from the Mercer College
box. The thieves keep tab on the patrol
man, and while he is making his way
from one box to another they find an op
portunity to do their work.
It is evident that one or two extra po
licemen stationed in that section of the
city would deter these pootpads, or, at
least, be able to effect their capture. The • . ~
same conditions exist in other sections of I
the city, and the same remedy could be 4?%%^JR

CIGARS.
The late Wm. <3. Rose, who for 30 many
years sold cigars at rhe hotel stands own
ed by him in this city, and at several
stores, always disliked co sell cigars by
the box to any of his customers. His the
ory was that customers who bad a box of
their favorite cigars handy were apt to
smoke too many, and the inevitable result
was that they soon got tired of any favor
ite, while they would smoke the same ci
gar for years without any but pleasant
consequences if they bought them in small
quantities. The only remidy 1 know is
for a person, the instant he feels any un
pleasant effects from a cigar, to throw it
away, rense the mouth out with cold wa
ter and drink a large class of the same.
A large quantity of cold water in the
stomach seems to neutralize the effects of
the cigar better than anything I know of.
My experience is that cigars are barome
ters by which persons are readily fore
warned as to their physical condition. The
mere fact that a regul.tr smoker does not
want to smoke shows that there is some
thing wrong within him. and it is best to
pay attention to the indication and leave
cigars alone until he feels that he can
enjoy them. —Washington Star.
