There are many more deaths in
the country by accidents thnti us
ed to occur since the invention of
autos and airplanes.
The people of the world are
growing wiser all the while. There
was a time when no one knew
ho\$ to make sugar iiquor.
Yfoth the successful and defeat
ed candidates for President ore
out taking a rest. Of courso one
can enjoy himself much better than
the other.
Twn women are held for shoot
ing a man near Alma, Ga. Since
women have got to* voting and
wearing breeches some of thCm are
getting pretty rough.
We notioe the trustees of one
Bcliool—uot in Georgia, prohibit
the girls from usinng lipstick, face
powders or wear short dresses. If
such u rule as this was adopted for
the schools of Georgia the girl pu
pil# would all strike.
We see from the ColumbusJEn-
q.irer-Sun that a promiuent Paris
lady will soon become a mother.
This puts the Sun in lhe lead, be
cause we never read au announce
ment of this kind in any paper be
fore, aiming’to be correct, as the
notice given states that it would be
a boy or a girl.
Wo notice where a Mobile gang
down in Alabama, doped a fellow
recently and then took him out and
away off from.the city and then
threw him into a swamp and ev
ery time lie showed himself from
bis biding place they would shoot
at him. Hero he had to stay two
or three days without food and no
water except from the swamp.
Remember that this did not occur
any where in Chin^ but down in
Alabama

KA * ’“Pen tornadoes first struck the
country learned men who pretend
ed to know all about the weather,
said they would only come
in the spring, and then only in the
low, level country. But ti'.nV lias
shown that man knows nothing
about these things, because they
have visited all parts of the coun
try, both high and low and at ev-
season of the year, even on Christ
mas day. Two tornadoes swept
over portions of Iowa last week.
We note where two citizens of
Bibb county were held up recently
by three fake officers and relieved
of their money. These unmasked
robbers drove up by the car occu
pied by the two, stopped and told
them that they were officers, when
one with a shotgun held it until
another went through their pock-
^ ets and took $.270 and drove off
No one should carry any money on
their person 1 liow jfiuce officer s are
allowed te stop and search people’s
cars for liquor, because it gives
any. robbers ti mfrch better oppor
tunity than thfey ever had before.
We notice where a prohibition
officer recently got a fellow to
buy a bottle of liquor from a negio
so he could prosecute him. When
the trial came lip the negro plead
guilty, tilling the court, that the
man came to him, told him iie was
sick and he took the Money and
went and got it for him. This
was at Macon. The judge said lie
did not approve of such rctions.
The attorney general lemarked
that ho did not know these facts
when he drew the bill and with
drew the case. For an officer to
encourage a person to violate the
law just to build up business
shows a mean principal and is the
wrong man for tlie place.

Dahlonega’s Missing Regis
tration Book.
I11 the year I924 a bill was in
troduced by Dr. Craig R. Arnold
for a permanent registration
for the City of Daliloficga to keep
her Citizens from having to regis
ter every year to qualify them to
vott) in a City election, which pass
ed, was approved by the Governor
July 15, i92q and became a law ;n
will he seen from the Georgia Acts
of 1924, page 634. The Act
amends the several Acts incor
porating the town of Dalilon-
ega, which reads as follows :
“Any person who has registered
under the provisions of Section S
of the Acts approved December
14, 1899, shall thereafter be per
milted to vote without further reg
istration, provided said person
meets tlie requirements of said
Section 8. ”
This means if a person has been
a 6itiz6'n of the state 12 months,
county 6 months and town 6
mouths and paid all taxes both
state and county and town in ac
cordance with the law and other
wise qualified can vote without
registering any more.
Strange 10 say that in 1926,
when the campaign for Mayor bc-
6tbe registration lists or book
were not to be found and a'£new
registration was started, giving
every citizen, and some not citi
zens, a chance to register. Al
though nil those who had register
ed since December 14, 1891), oth
er w i u e qualified, can vote without
reregistering. When a person votes
they should he sworn snd their
names entered on the last list, to
save any trouble.
The State’s Picture Show.
The Georgia State Board of
Game and Fish gave a yery in
structive program at the College
Chapel Wednesday niglit of last
week. The lecture was delivered
by Mr. Henry Branham and the
pictures were explained by Mr.
II. G. J^cGfogan. The pur
pose of the program was to leach
young and old the great impor
tance of conservation ; or the sav
ing of such game and fish as are
left and filling the woods and
stocking the streams with new va-
rities and additional supplies. The
exhibit was free and the commu
nity responded by packing the col
lege chapel to its full capacity.
The pictures filled several reels
and consisted of the most interest
ing and instructive scenes within
the bounds of the state. Local in-
teres't 1 <vrts not lacking. Neel’s
Gap, Cane Creek F'alls, the deer at
1 he Mountain Lodge, and even ye
editor glided over the screen.
Generally a now department of
any kind means more expenso and
additional taxes fur the people to
pay. But this is not the case with
tlie Board of Game and Fish. It
does not cost the people a cent, the
entire expense being met from the
proceeds of hunting licenses and
fish rtf g permits. On tho other
hand, this department will ulti
mately mean a groat saying to the
state. Every year the insect pc-ts
Of Georgia destroy many thous
amis of dollars worth of our crops.
The Board of Game and Fish is
endeavoring to preserve and in
crease the number of birds that de
stroy tht insects.
Then when the woods are again
full of game and the streams full
ol fish, and wise laws protect our
wild life, we may expect a glimpse
of the good o’ddays when a buck
chewed his cud on every ivey bluff
and wild turkeys were as plentiful
as jaybirds.
Mr. Fted Anderson left for Wv-t

Mr. Bob Houser told us Mon
day afternoon that he had just
boriglit and paid the money for
the Wimpy Mill property from
Prof. John Anderson. But there
Seems to he a mistake about it in
some way.
It is a rare thing here to have
a visit irotn a musquilo in the
winter time, nevertheless 0:10
came in early Friday morning be
fore day. But when the cold wave
arrived Monday afternoon our
unfrelcomed visitor kicked up its
heels and left out.
We are sending our good Ham-
mermi.l Bond paper out by mail.
Last week sent some seventy-five
or oighfly miles away, to persons
who have bought from us before.
This proves that it is good and
cheap If you have not already
done so try some of it.

Mrs. Oma Sutton lost 50 or 60
bushels of J corti—all she had, last
week, up in the country. The la
dy was" fixing to have building
done to move to a new place. The
crib wasTnilt and her corn moved
first thing. In cleaning up aud
burning brush fCe got to it during
any one’s presence and all her
corn was lost. Mrs. Grindle’s hus
band was accidentally killed at the
Pyrites Mine four years ago. Let’s
help her.
Many changes \Vefe made in the
location of the ministers at tlie re
cent North Georgia Conference.
Though there was none at Dahlon-
ega, as Rev. J. B. Smith has been
returned. But a new Presiding
Elder takes charge of this, the
Gainesville District. Ilev. H, C.
Emory, not known to us. Till last
last election preachers were forbid
den from using tobacco or discuss
ing politics, specially in the
churckc*. But at the Conference
just held the editor of the official
organ was advised to go ahead
with his politcal fight, mid all
halters were pulled of! the minis
ters so they could join in when
ever it was thought to In necessa
ry by the lc-adi rs, of course.
Wl. Slier they will he permitted to
smoke and chew tobacco we Have
not read the proceedings to learn.
The stand many of the preachers
and members took in the last elec
tion badly crippled the democratic
putty. From which it will never
recover, is our honest opinion.
The question is, will this political
move in the churches injure them?
We believe it will. Politics have
heretofore injured numbers of
good strong organizations soou af
ter they entered the door. And
the Masonic Fraternities would
have been numbered with things
of the past had the Worshipful
Masters gone to the lodges loaded
down with politics to distribute to
the members.
Mr. Woody, the Barber, tee i t-
ly paid his parents n visit down in

One fellow told 11s not long ago
that he drank nine gallons of li

beat this? Hope no one will try
it.

Prof. Wiley went down to the
North Georgia Conference last
week to look upon the great body
of preachers mid delegates in At
lanta. This is one assembly that
every member belonging attends.
The wises:, best and most experi
enced ministers tell what they
know about religious matters,
which enlightens the younger
ones.
Moter up to the mountains be
fore the disagreeable weather sets
in for the winter, get up on some
high point, look down and see
what a beautiful country we hive.
Can’t furnish them songs by any

closed out their musical entertain
ments for tho year first of Novem

We have been informed tint par
ties residing wit bin the corporate
limits ot Dahlonega are selling li
quor all the time. This is run
ning a big risk, and it would be
best for the dealers to stop it be
fore it is located by some of the of
ficers. It causes us no trouble,
but give this 09 a note of warning
in order to keep any one else from
bating it.
It seems that J. C. ALrngum's
troubles nre all coming together,
both here ai d in Alabama, now
consolidated. When lie was re
leased froiti otvr county jail charg
ed .with stealing, a car in Alabama*
ban)a, Mr. Willi Butler had it at
tached for wliat J. C. was due him
for debts he had settled for him,
and shirts he liad seized. S< 011 af
terwards a gentleman frottf that
state came up representing a. Com
pany from whom this car had been
purchased on time, being unlawful
for a car to he mu out of the state
until jmicl for. But the law was
violated, and after J. C. had some
trouble with Fred Anderson and
El D.ivis, so we understand,
and learning of the arrival of the
man from Alabama, took his de
parture from Dahlonega the near
way.
