CHIEF LOSES ROLL
TO OGEECHEE FISH
Statesboro, Ga., July 26.—L. 0.
Scurboro, former chief of police and
now head of the detective bureau a-
Miami, Fla., went fishing Friday
to the extent of $1,000 worth.
The sleuth, who has established a
reputation for hounding out Miami’s
criminally inclined, was casting for
trout on the Ogeechee river near
Statesboro. He was accompanied by a
negro boy who was paddling the boat
for the officer.
Incidentally, Mr. Scarboro had oy
er $1,000 in his pockets in nine $100
bills, 10 $10 bills and a couple of
ones. While making a cast the office!
titted the boat in the water he plung
ed along with negro boy.
While he was swimming toward
shore Th e money worked out of
Scarboro’s pocket, and as the cur
rent was swift it was quickly carried
down stream. The officer hastened
his trip to the shore and ran down
tlie hanks of the stream to locate the
money. He was rewarded by finding
one lone dollar bill caught on a
branch of a tree protruding from the
bank. The rest of the lost wealth has
gone to the fish.

he had information that he would not
be confirmed. The situation in tilt
senate changed materially after set
tlement of rows over appointments
to the state uuditorship and the
Uume and Fish Board and Judge
Reed requested that his name be
sent in again it is understood.
The i senate Monday adopted reso
lutions of the rules committee pro
viding for daily sessions starting at
9 o’clock instead of 10 o’clock, and
giving the rules committee charge of
the calendar for the remainder of * TV -
the present legislative session. Un
der the regular rules tlie committee
would not have taken charge until
the last two weeks of the legislature
Senator Seaborn Wright, of Rome,
opposed giving the rules committee
charge of the calendar on the theory
that tlie committee would have ihe
power "to throttle legislation” if it
so desired, he referred specifically to
highway legislation and said the com
miitee might be for bonds and no
other remedial highway legislation.
Senator Shelby Myrick, of Suvan-
j null, vice chairman of the rules com
mittee, declared that the only pur
pose of the committee resolution was
to udvance the more important
measures whicli can not be done ex
cept by a rules committee calendar.
Otherwise, bills must be taken up in
numerical order, he stated.
President Cecil Neill, of the sen
ate, look the floor and said he le-
sented any intimation that the com
mittee might try to throttle ihe gas
tax measure or any other bill. He
said that the committeemen should
be expelled from the senate if they
tried such a thing.
The president declared that the
state faces a deficit of $4,00(1,COO and
must speed up emergency revenue
measures to provide foi this deficien
cy. An income tax bill also should
be passed and submitted to the pro ■
pie for their approval or disapproval
the president stated.
Senator Smith offered an amend
ment giving a majority of tlie mem
bers of the senate power to change
the rules committee calendar instead
of requiring a two-thirds vote, but
the amendment was voted down. The
original resolution was then passed
by a vote of 38 to 6, after Senators
Goode, Zellars, Matthews, Brewer
and Lane had spoken in favor of it
There was no opposition to 9 o’clock
sessions.

He was seized with consternation
8. Tlie king’s behavior (vv. 7-10).
(1) He called forth astrologers and
soothsayers, offering rich rewards
(vv. 7-9). Tlielr utter Inability fo In
terpret the writing left the king even
more perplexed.
(2) Daniel brought In at the sug
gestion of the queen (vv. 10-10). The
queen reminded the king of Dunlel’s
service to Nebuchadnezzar, lie was
sent for and promised great reward
III. Daniel Interprets the Writing
2S).
1. Daniel's uddress to the king (vv.
17-24.).
(1) He brushes aside the promised
gifts (v. 17). Ho would not have his
speeeli limited by the king's gifts.
(2) He reviewed before him the his
tory of Nebuchadnezzar and applied
the lesson in the behavior of Belshaz
zar (vv. 18-24), showing that Belshnz
zar should have profiled by the ex
perienoe of his father.
2. The Interpretation of the writing
(vv. 25-28).
(1) “Mene" moans “numbered" (v
20). “God hath numbered thy kingdom
and finished It."
(2) “Tekel” mennB "weighed" (v
27). "Thou art weighed In the linl
niioos, and art found wanting.”
(3) "Peres” means “divided" (v
2S). “Thy kingdom Is divided, and giv
en to the Modes and Persians."
IV. The Judgment Executed (w
29-31).
In that night was Belslmzznr slain
and Darius the Median took the king
dom.
Tlie Chaldean dynasty ended with
Belshazzar. So we may Interpret this
whole scene as pointing to the cundl
tions at the close of the times of tlie
Gentiles, and ns foreshadowing the
prevailing conditions. Let us note:
1. The stupidity of men.
They, like people today, would not
learn by example. Nebuchadnezzar's
fate should have deterred Balshazzar
from such frivolity.
2. The magnificent splendor.
Tills great feast was cluirncterlzed
by pomp, display, parade. How chnr
acteristle of this age I
3. Luxury. The famous hanging gnr
dens of Babylon were a noteworthy
example. Signs of luxury today are
on every hand.
4. The licentiousness of the king
with Ills wives and concubines.. LI
-centiousness Is notoriously prevalent
today.
5. Blnsphomons sacrilege.
And may not the sacrilege of today
be in excess of theirs, expressing It
self In (1) a profession of religion for
pecuniary gain, social nnd polltlcnl
preferment; (2) use of the pulpit nnd
of the ministry for display and
torlety, even for the propagation of
false doctrine; (3) union with the
church, attendance on the communion
so as to cover up secret sins; (4) the
use of the Word of God to give point
to a joke; (5) denying Hint the Bible
Is God's Word, making It a book of
errors, myths nnd legends; (0) sneer
Ing at tlie virgin birth, repudiating
Chirst’s deity nnd setting aside Ills
vicarious atonement.
6. Drunken' cnronsnls. The hand
writing Is on the wall. God will not
endure this forever; His Judgment
shall fall. Conditions ln the world In
diente that the time is drawing near.
Are you ready?
AN IMPORTANT
MATTER OFTEN
OVERLOOKED
The fact that birth nnd depth nre
Indisputably the two most Important
events to a human being Is, In Itself, i
sufficient reason why a permanent |
record of these nil-important events j
should lie mado through the medium I
of birth and death registration. But
thero are many other reasons, ami
practical ones, too, why births and I
deaths should be registered.
Birth registration Is essential for
establishing proof of citizenship and
Identity, the right to attend school,
to enter Into employment, to marry,
to receive passports, to enjoy bequests
and the piocceds of insurance. All
of these, ami special social and crimi
nal problems are more or less depend
ent upon accurate birth records.
The that duty of parents to their
new-boni child Is to see that the birth
is properly registered with the local
registrar. There aro contingencies
sure to arise when the man or woman
will bitterly regret the carelessness
of parents who overlook ihls duty,
for a birth certificate may moan the
difference between luxury or poverty,
happiness or sorrow, honor or dis
grace.
Your doctor or other attendant pres
ent at the birth. Is required by law to
file the birth certificate, but parents
should Insist that R be dono.
Death registration is equally Import
ant. Such records are necessary In
proving death for probating wills, set
tling estates, establishing claims for
insurance and pensions, and safe
guarding the health of our people.
Public Health Officers must have
lmmedlato and accurate Information
concerning each death ln order Hint
the proper measures may he adopted
o prevent the spread of contagious nnd
epidemic diseases, and protect us from
an untimely death from preventable
causes.
Although the law requires the un
dertaker, or person acting as such, to
file the death certificate with the local
registrar, the relatives should Insist
that It bo done.
TEACHERS

twelve Congressional Districts, who
are the Instructors of the Health
Course, sponsored by the Geoigla Tu

of Health, and the State Department
