KING ALBERT MAY ATTEND
WORLDS SERIES.
Washington, Sept. 22.—King
.Albert, of Belgium, who sails to
day for the United States on the

te u guest at one of the world
series baseball games.
Fans here today proposed this
as Chief Social Arbiter Cook of
the state department worked to
hurry to completion formal plans
of the government for the king’s

King Albert saw many baseball
games played in France by mem
bers of the A. E. F. and is report
ed to he an enthusiastic fan. In
formal suggestions for the enter
tainment of the king include an
airplane sight-seeing tour of New
York to give King Albert a chance
to set 1 the American skyscraper in
all its glory. Army and navy avi
ators here today were eager for
the distinction of piloting the king
over America's biggest city. The
state department social leaders
and secret service officials, how
ever, are expected to frown on
airplane sight-seeing because of
the possibility of accident.
Formal plans for the king's en
tertainment here, although not
yet announced, are understood to
include a state banquet at the
■White House, a reception at the
/Belgian legation, a trip to Mount
Vernon and a number of recep
tions.

of honor will be on duty and cav
alrymen will escort him to the
White House. The cavalry escort
will accompany the king in all
his movements about Washington.
ESTATE OF J. M. SMITH IS IN
HANDS OF WOMAN.
Mrs. Francis Shehane Sale Ad
ministratrix of Millionaire’s Es
tate.
•
Homer, Ga., September 21.
(Special.) In the trial here Sat
urday in the ease of A. C. Erwin,
L. K. Smith and .). F. Shehane,
administrators of estate of the
late Col. Janies M. Smith, of Ogle
thorpe county, against one of the
most prominent citizens of Banks
county, it developed that all of
the above administrators have re
signed and that Mrs. Francis Slic
hane has been appointed as sole
administratrix of the estate of the
deceased Oglethorpe county mil-
lionaire.
It will he recalled that there
was considerable litigation just
after Col. Smith's death as to who
would inherit his magnificent es
tate, and also quite a lot of litiga
tion as to who would act as ad
ministrators in winding up his af
fairs.
The fact that all of the adminis
trators formerly appointed by the
ordinary of Oglethorpe county
have resigned and that Mrs. Fran
cis Shellane has been appointed
sole administratrix, will be news
to many people in Georgia.

MOONSHINE LIQUOR DEAD
LY POISONOUS.
If there happen to be any liquor
drinkers left in these times of ar
idness, here’s a tip for them hand
ed out by Internal Revenue Agent
I). J. Gantt: -
Be sure that your firewater isn’t
spiked with denatured alcohol or
potash.
Mr. Gantt Wednesday was in
receipt of a communication from
,1. 11. Callan, acting commissioner
of internal revenue in Washing
ton, to the effect that completely (
denatured alcohol is being used
botlie for bathing and rubbing
and for beverage purposes. Mr.
Callan pointed out that such alco
hol should not be used even for
rubbing, since it is injurious fo
skin and tissue. As to the use as a
beverage, Mr. Callan says:
“Where it is so used for any
length of time blindness inevitab
ly results andtlie continued juse
can only result in death.”
The opinion prevails in revenue
circles that much of the so-called
“blind tiger” liquor contains
large quantities of denatured al
cohol. which, in appearanee, is
very much like a good grade of
“moonshine” and which, they do
say, the unscrupulous can buy
cheaply and easily “doctor up”
a bit and retail as whiskey at
prices which set anew pace for all
other profiteers.
Mr. Gantt also spoke of reports
that some distilleries are said to he
using potash in whiskey, quicken
ing the fermentation, making pro
duction cheaper and compensation
accordingly greater. The effect of
“potash liquor” is said to be
somewhat similar to the effect of
“denatured alcohol liquor.”
Mr. Gantt didn't anticipate that
information would be of particu
lar interest to such a bone-dry ter
ritory as Georgia.
“If, however.” he said, with
emphasis on the ‘if’—“there hap
pens to be any liquor drinkers
left, they may be interested in
saving their eyesight and lives by
staying off of completely denatur
ed alcohol.” —Elberton Star.
