firms snd different enterprises have
used an enormous amount of water,
very much more than usual.

THREE LITTLE
KIDS KILLED A
' “BOTTLE BUZE”
Youngsters got Hold of
Blind Tiger Liquor
THEY WERE BEHIND A TREE IN
THE PARK PLAYING “REAL
GROWN MEN" WHEN THEY
WERE TAKEN IN CHARGE,
Atanta, March 27.—A ebubbv,
rod-cheeked 7-year-old young hope
ful. bare-legged and bright blue
eyed, was the principal prisoner at
the bar In the recorder's court this
morning. The bar was so much
higher than bin bead that he had to
get a toe-hold and clamber up one
of the posts before the Judge could
tee him.
He was arraigned with three com
panions, all bright-looking young
sters of thoroughly respectable fam
ily, all charged, please goodness,
with haring i n their possession a
big bottle of blind tiger-liquor.
The four kiddles were "named
Charles Morgan, Percy Baxley,'Roy
Nichols and Arthur Barnard. Ac
cording to the evidence, Arthur
Barnard, 9 years old, hod sent a
manly snd mysterious note, l n pub
lic school, to his three companicna,'
scrawled on a sheet of paper In
pencil-printed letters, announcing
that he had a “bottei of Buze,” and
that If the kids would all assemble
In the psrk after school they would
kill It” together.
The teachers got wise, and the
case was reported. Subsequently a
charge was made against Joe Bur
kett, a grown man, charging that
had let the children have the
whisky. At the same time the
charge against the boys was with
drawn, and they were held as wit-
ases.
But It developed at the trial that
Burkett was the step-father of one
of the boys, and that the kids bad
either mlschtOToulay stolen the
whisky from hlrp. or had taken It
■Without knowing that they wen
doing wrong. At any rate, It was
proven that nobody but the young
sters were to blame, ind Burkett
was released with apologias.
Questioned by the recorder,
Charlie Morgan, tiniest of the tots,
ssld he had tested the whisky, but
that It burnt his mouth and that
none of them had drunk any. He
said that none of them had ever
taated whisky before in their lives,
and only got it because they want-
to play at being "real grown
men,”
The recorder kindly explained to
them that It Is possible to be a full
grown man wtthont drinking blind
tiger whisky behind a tree la the
park, and urged them If they really
wanted to be manly, to take a tem
perance pledge and then Jala the
boy scouts.
Negroca Were Arrested,
Oz e i Cannon and Cleo Lovern, ne
groes, were arrested this morning by
Chief williams and lodged ln Jail to
await o n a charge of having raised
an order on the Matthews Trading
company. The order was given by
the Georgia Northern railroad com
pany.
Last night the negroes went to
tbs Matthews store snd purchased
goods to the amount of $10.40, pre
senting an order for that amount In
payment. The thing looked suspi
cious and an investigation showed
the check had been raised. It was
orlglslly $1.50. The goods were rt-j
covered when the negroes were ar
rested. The men were caught In n
box car near the Osorgla Northern
station.—Moultrie Observer.
