JUDGE MATHEWS ON PROHIBITION
LAWS AND MOB VIOLENCE
The two subjects of the above heading were
strongly stressed by Judge H. A. Mathews in his
charge to the grand jury of Bibb county at the
opening of the November term of the Superior
Court of that county, No more vital matters
now press for the attention of thoughtful peo
pie, anxious for the highest prosperity of our
country.
We quote from the Macon News portions of
the charge dealing with these subjects:
• t I think it proper that we should discuss
briefly the general subject of our criminal laws
—their importance and the necessity that these
j laws matter be duly that respected the criminal and courts, enforced. including This is
)the grand jury, should stress and consider pro
' foundly with the single view and purpose of a
wise and efficient discharge of duty.
1 V The ultimate purpose of the penalties pre¬
scribed by these laws is to promote, and as far
as possible insure respect for the laws enacted
for the protection of society. The laws must be
respected, or else we are unprotected in our
persons and our property, and we must live in
a greater or less degree of anarchy. All these
propositions are manifest and beyond question
or cavil.
I << But can the laws be made respectable and
be duly respected without a healthy and strong
backing of respectable people? Is it not true
that the strongest support of the agencies of
jthe law is the obedience to the law, implicit
and unconditional of all respectable people
who themselves remain within the prohibitions
of the law?
*t In considering this proposition, what can
be said of men usually law abiding, useful and
honest, who assume to themselves the right to
regulate by force or intimidation or duress the
[conduct of tand their the fellow principles citizens? of As far possible as I
can unf j ers any
good and safe government, there can be no
more dangerous, destructive and subversive
principle introduced into a civilized republic,
than the idea that any man or number of men
not duly authorized by the law and with full
official power as representing the law may pro
perly assume to deprive any person, however
humble, of his liberty or of the safety of his
person from any sort of violence whatever.
a However honest, respectable or generally
useful he may be, any man thus interfering
with another’s personal safety and liberty, is
not only a criminal himself but he does more
to impair and flout the majesty of the law
than the victim has done or can possibly do.

< i Public opinion, properly educated is
bulwark of the law. In this connection it
timely to consider a great and pressing
lem of law enforcement and obedience to
as to the prohibition of the sale and
ture of alcoholic liquors. Unfortunately
is a divergence of opinion as to the
and need of this prohibition. But it is the
state and national, and it is practically certain
that it will indefinitely continue to be the
and some way must be found to insure
for it as a fixed principle in our social body.
Shall it be honestly observed and enforced,
shall its violation be covertly encouraged? Can
public opinion, the greatest power on earth,
at the same time condemn the sale and manu
facture, and approve the buying and use of
these prohibited liquors? Manifestly, this is
impossible. Can influential and prominent
citizens patronize the bootlegger, and at the
same time give condemnation to bootlegging?
To ask the question is to answer it.
Can a man or a woman be a good citizen
who habitually encourages and abets the vio
lation of a fixed and permanent criminal law
of the land? The widespread violation of these
liquor laws is notorious everywhere, and our
courts are so heavily burdened thereby that
they are congested and all court business im
peded. The bootlegging class encouraged by
the patronage of the public are tried by the
thousand and given more or less punishment,
while those equally responsible make light of
the law presumably because they are immune
from the punishment. Can any man hesitate
to conclude what his highest duty demands of
him in this most serious situation of aur body
politic? There can be only one solution of this
as of all questions of law enforcement, the en
lightened public opinion of the influential men
and women of the county, manifesting itself by
actions and not by words only.”

BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES
The Bible Study Class of the Bap
tist Woman’s Missioniary Society, of
which Mrs. M. M. Wynne is teacher,
held a most interesting meeting Mon
day afternoon in the Philathea Class
room. The study for the day was an
informal study of the 15th Chapter
j of spiritual John, truths from which were gathered, many beautiful bring
iog to mind the sayings of the Master
in regard to opportunity, service, dig
nity, obedience and the witnessing for
Christ.
Mrs. Herbert Vining, counselor of
the Junior Girl’s Auxiliary, called her
girls in a most interesting meeting at
her home Monday afternoon. The
members of the Auxiliary, around
twelve years of age, are a joyous and
happy crowd of fine girls who enjoy
the fellowship of one another in the
service of their Lord and Master.
I The Business Woman’s Circle of
the B. W. M. S. met on Thursday
| evening of this week with Miss Katie
May Williams, where a splendid prog¬
ram was enjoyed, after which a happy
social hour added to the pleasure of
the occasion. These groups of busi
I nessi women meet one night in each
■ month when they enter actively into
i the missioniarv work of the W. M. S.
| and , besides , • , having a part . in i the
Kingdom work enjoy the fellowship
of a social hour together.

the membership is always present.
.The full membership represents one
hundred and five members, only a
few of which are not active in the
work.

A message in song by Dr. J. W.
Ford at the Baptist church
morning just before the pastor
livered the morning sermon was deep¬

dience to a deeper consecration. Dr.
Ford’s voice is a baritone of wide
range and the expert technic with
which he handled the solo, God’s
Paradise,” was artistic and beautiful
in message and melody.

Baptist church held the regular

lors Monday evening, with Luther

for themselves a standard of excel¬

Point by point will be reached until

THE BRANHAM SYNDROME
Branham in the medical and
field have won for him great
tion and are well known to his
home folks in Fort Valley and
section of Georgia. Dr. Branham is
brother of H. M. and W. R.
and Mrs. R. M. Houser of Fort
ley. He is a prominent physician
surgeon in Brunswick, Ga„ and
chairman of the Glynn County
of Health
Dr. Branham, when a student
ago at Johns Hopkins in
Md., graduated with first honors
made the highest record ever
j made in that college.
years ago he made a contribution
surgery which has made him a bene¬
factor to the world. That gift was the
“Branham Syndrome,” an indication
of the importance of which is seen in
a letter addressed on March 21, 1925,
to Dr. Branham by Dr. Rudolph
Matas, professor of surgery at Tulane
University in New Orleans and presi¬
dent-elect of the American College of
Surgeons. The letter was as follows:
“Dr. H. M. Branham,
“Brunswick, Ga.
“Dear Dr. Branham;
“I am enclosing a copy of the pro¬
gram of the Sectional Meeting of the
American College of Surgeons which
was held in Washington on February
13 and 14. Please note the Title of my
paper, read at the Scientific Session.
. The Branham Syndrome.’
The History of the Branham Syn¬
drome and its interpretation as exhi¬
bited in Arterio-venous aneurisms
was presented, and discussed on the
lines that are familiar to you through
my paper on Arterio-venous fistula
which appeared in the Transactions
of the Southern Surgical Association
last December.
“I am writing now for two distinct
purposes; first, to inform you that the
profession is gradually becoming fa¬
miliarised with the meaning and im¬
portance of the Branham Syndrome.
Futhermore, it will no doubt, be grati¬
fying to you to know that the seed
planted by you so unpretentiously,
thirty-five years ago, has grown into
a fine tree which is yielding a ripe
and mellow fruit for the delectation of
the harvesters in vascular surgery,
the world over. The recent interesting
developments which cluster about
your early observations on arterio¬
venous aneurisms lead to the second
purpose of this letter, which is, to ask
that you favor me with an autograph¬
ed photograph of your good self so
that I may have it framed and pre
r erved in the Librar y of the MedicaI
[ our Sch ° ^^nts o1 of Tulane and all University those interested where
' n tbe bistory of medicine and surgery
in the South will be able to
the original observer whose
ally keen powers of observation
the foundation for what we now desig
| nate as the ‘Branham Syndrome.’
"Hoping that I may have the pleas¬
ure of a favorable reply, I beg to re¬
j main with very sincere regard and
best wishes for your continued wel¬
fare,
‘Yours most faithfully,
“R. MATAS.
