JUDGE WORRILL
HITS KEY IDEA
Atlanta, Dec. 6.7—Judge Chas. W.
Worrill of Cuthbert Thursday said
Mayor Jas. L. Key’s proposal for a
municipal liquor store was a move
toward open rebellion and "an at
tempt to license crime.”
The visiting jurist, sitting on the
superior court bench in Atlanta at a
special term of court, made his re
marks after sentencing a negro 'to 20
years for robbery.
According to available statistics,
Atlanta is the most lawless city in
the United States, according to pop
ulation,” Judge Worrill said.
“Now, on top of all your bandit
gangs, your mayor and some of your
councilmen propose to flaunt the law
by opening a liquor store. They pro
pose to violate the misdemeanor laws
—and mis lomeamrs lead to fel
onies.
“Why, the very idea of a municipal
liquor store—it is nothing more than
(>|>on rebellion: it is an attempt to li
cense crime. The courts will not stand
for it nor will the governor.”
The Service of
The Newspapers.
(By Emily Woodward)
The famous saying of a famous
American, “All 1 know is what I reud
in the papers,” carries more truth
than humor when applied to Ameri
cans as a whole.
But where is the newspaper reader
who stops to think of the infinite net
work of human and mechanical ma
chinery that goes into the assembling
of the news of the world delivered to
him daily in exchange for a few pal
try pennies? The newspaper, ever
busy with crying everybody’s wares
but its own, plods on, unacclaimed,
with the never-ending task of feeding
a news-hungry world.
The service of newspapers and of
the art of printing, of which the
newspaper is a product, has urrived
at a position of incalcuable influence
in the modern world. When the aver
age man thinks of printing it is us
ually in terms of whirring presses or
the drabness of iron, steel and brass
wrought into colorless machines, in
animate until touched by the hund of
man.
But to the mind that enjoys and
takes time to examine the structure
of civilization, its arts and their prog
ress, there is a world of romance in
the history of the printing art, which
has been called the art preservative
of all arts.
The Rosetta Stone in the British
Museum tells the first story of man’s
desire to leave some record of having
passed this way on the journey of
life, whose beginning and end are
still quite wisely veiled in mystery.
The first known records in the form
of writing are the inscriptions on
tablets formed of sun-baked clay
which were excavated from the Chal
dean ruins at Nippirr. These date
back to 600 B. C. Inscriptions on
stone, wood and other more or less
enduring materials continued to be
the practice long after the more con
venient materials were in general
use.
One of the earliest of the latter
was papyrus, made from a plant
grown chiefly in Egypt. Another was
parchment, made bom the skins ot
sheep, goats and calves. Scrolls of
papyrus or parchment were made in
to strips, some times 12" feet long.
These, for convenience, were rolled on
sVcki. A change from rolls to piles
sheets came with the more general
use of parchment. It was upon this
material that the books of the Chris
tian monasteries were written.
Printing on paper by means of
n n craved blocks was practiced by the
Chinese as early as 50 B. C. For cen
turies there was much controversy
over the name of the first European
to print from movable type. The hon
or was claimed by the Dutch for
Loorens Coster, of Holland, but no
work of his has ever been identified.
It was a German, whose name, for
political reasons, was changed from
Ganzflesh, of Sulgeloek, to Johanners
Gutenberg, who first experimented
with letters carved from wood ar.d
later with type carved and cast from
metal.
The experiment, which began in
1450, at Mainz, Germany, was attend
ed by many difficulties. After repeat
ed attempts and failures, Gutenberg
was given financial assistance by a
Mainz councilor and finallly achieved
success, publishing the world's first
book, a Bible, in Latin 1 .
The first book printed in English
was a history of Troy, published at
Burges, Flanders, by a man named
Claxton. Later, the first press in
England was established by Claxton
at the Almonery, at Westminister.
Prinitir.g made its advent into the
New World with the establishment of
a press at Mexico City in 1544. In
1639 the first press in the United
States was built at Harvard universi
ty. During the subsequent three cen-
tries there has been rapid and spec
tacular advancement in the art 01
printing, the greatest progress com
ing within the past half century as a
result of the invention of another
German, Orttman Mergenthaler of
Baltimore, who designed the linotype.
'The monotype, evolved by Talbert
Lanston, followed the linotype.
Out of this art of printing have
come the spread of culture and en
richment of mind. Applied to trade
through the medium of advertising,
printing has had an Incalculable in
fluence upon the economic life of the
world, while playing a significant
part in promoting the eomfort and
happiness of mankind.
But more interesting far than the
part type and presses perform in
bringing the newspapers that are
read by the evening light or over the
morning coffee cup is the part man
plays in this silent force, so far-
reaching in its influence.
Like animated question marks, a
vast army of newsgatherers is al
ways on the march in search of facts
to be woven into print by another
army of trained soldiers at desks and
nrqdhinqg, all working to create this
highjy important factor in modern
civilization—the newspaper, which
the reader accepts much as he does
the uir he breathes.
Least of all does he consider the
moral responsibility resting upon the
human forces on whom the publica
tion of a paper depends. Without in-
tegnty woven into the fabric of the
daily news, the newspaper would be
both a social and civic menace.
On the whole, the human factor in
the making of the American news
paper has been kept at a high stan
dard. It is well for America that this
is true.

judge M. D. Dickerson ot the
cross circuit declared in chared
tne Wure county grand jury at id
December term wmch is in

Judge Dickerson, observed
since the repeul of the Eighteen,!
amendment, there has been a '
eidedly laxity in enforcing the O
gia law. *
“I don’t know what is the best,
lution to the whisky question, uu ,
do know thut unless something]
done to control the liquor t ra g|
there will be many lives lost
many hearts broken,” he said.
He called attention to the n.™
cases where “moonshine liquor is’q!
sponsible for serious wrecks,” and he
cited specific examples of wrecks tun
have dealt death on the South Geo,,
gia highways recently, where liquor
was found responsible.
“It has reached the point where n
man can drive up to ulmost any lilt
ing station on. the highways and get
liquor You don’t even have to goto
the back door . . . they’ll deliver it
to you at the front,” he charged,
He scored the action' of youngl
people in “riding, singing and drink,
ing on our public highways,” aw
appealed for a return to the old oaj
tom which demanded that a girl ei
tertain her date in. parlor instead i
on the highway.
“It is a bad condition, a serior I
situation . . . and it is a lamentakl
sign for the future,” he declared
Insisting that the legislature
take some action to remedy the situ]
ation, he pointed out that enfon
ment must be strengthened.
“If necessary, we should see thitl
every main highway is policed, thnl
every- county in the state, in order ti|
protect the public,” he said.
Judge Dickerson called attention I
the fact that it is still illegal to pojJ
sess ^liquor, to manufacture it, or tol
sell It, in the state of Georgia, andl
that it is still against the law tol
handle Bfeer, despite the fact that thel
federal constitutional amendment has|
been repealed.
The charge also included the I
points of law governing gaming, oar-1

pistols without license, game protec-"
tion, disturbing divine worship,
other Routine matters pertaining tol
the business administration of the|
county.
