GEORGIA PROHIBITION
GETS BLOW BELOW BELT
Savannah, May 21.—Georgians who
have been thinking they had to confine
orders of liquor shipped under the new
!prohibition laws (0 two quarts of
‘whiskey, “or” one gallon of wine, “or”
forty-eight pints of beer a month may
‘now take heart. They can get them
all three if they wiil ship by the Cen
tral of Georgia railway.
The Central does not particularly
crave the honor and distinction of
handling these shipments, but it does
not think the Georgia legislature, in
its wisdom, ever intended to confine
one man to two quarts of liquor “or”
a gallon of wine, “or” forty-eight pints
of beer in one month, and it has so ad
vised its shipping department, through®
its legal department. |
Lawton and Cunningham, the rail-i
road’s attorneys, gave the advice in a
letter, from which the following arel
extracts: ‘
“The Georgia prohibition act prohib
its delivery of:
“l. More than one (1) gallon of
vinous liquers or, \
3 “2. More than six (6) gallons—for
ty eight pints, of malted liquor, or fer
mented liguors, such as beer, lager
beer, ale or porter or other similar fer
mented or intoxicating or spirituous
liquors, either in bottles or other re
sceptacles, or,
*“3. More than two (2) quarts of
spirituous liquors or other intoxicating
liquors, or other prohibited liquors be
vond those named in subdivisions 1
and 2 akove. ¢
“This section of the act is ambig
uous. Whether the disjunctive word
“or” is meant to relate to the quanti
ty of each kind of liquor, or simply to
the kind of liquor, it is impossible to
tell from a reading of the sentence;
the sentence being ambiguous, under
the accepted canons of construction,
it should be construed in favor of the
liberty of the citizens and against the
state.

THE CORDELE DISPATCH, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1916.
THOUGHT RER
, [IME HAD GOME
NASHVILLE WOMAN TELLS OF RE
MARKABLE RECOVERY WHEN
THEY SAID SHE WOULD DIE.
“When I lay flat on my back with
' nervous prostration, the doctor told
my neighbors that he could do noth
ing for me, and that I would die,”
said Mrs. Sarah Larvery, of 103 Ohio
'street, Nashville. “For days I was un
concious but was determined tc live.
I held on with all the will power I
could summon. 4
“When I got over the worst of this
[ found myself a confirmed invalid.
My stomach was simply t(;rn all to
pieces, and was so unstrung I wanted
to burst out crying if anybody as
much as crooked their finger at me.
[ have been in a bad fix this way for
a long time. I would have severe
pains upon eating the least little thing
and then would hawve fearful sick
headaches and dizzy spells. My Kkid
neys seemed to be affected and I be
gan to have rheumatism of the very
worst kind. My joints would swell
up, and my hands would all puff out.
On damp days I could hardly stand
the pain. Besides, I couldn't sleep,
and had not appetite. I fell away un
til it scared me to weigh. Nothing
helped me. I feared I didn't have long
for this world.
“l began taking Tanlac, and, sir, I
wouldn’t take $lO a bottle for the good
it is doing me. I began to imin'ove
from the very start. I can eat any
thing without the least discomfort, my
rheumatism is disappearing, and my
nerves are as quiet as a lamb. I do
my knitting and am in a good humor
all the time. 1 feel as well as I did
yvears ago, and I expect to live to a
good old age. I wish every poor wo
man could know about Tanlac.”
Tanlac is sold in Cordele exclusively
by J. B. Ryals Drug Co., in Hatley by
Roberts & Co., and in Aarabi by City
Drug Store.

ATLANTA MAN WINS
HONORS IN FRANCE
Parig, May 21.—Corp. Kiffen Rock
well of Atlanta, a member of the Fran
co-American flying corps, has been
proposed for promotion to the rank
of sergeant as a reward for bringing
down a German aeroplane near Hart
mans-Weilerkopf on May 18. He
will be decorated with the military
medal.
Corpl. Victor Chapman of New York
has been proposed for promotion tc¢
the rank of sergeant for his pursuit
of a German machine that flew over
the aviation camp seer.lng revenge for
Corpl. Rockwell’s exploit.
Lieut. William K. Thaw of Pitts
burg has been proposed for citation
for pursuing a second German ma
chine from the camp, continuing the
fight at close range until his machine
gun jammed. Lieut. Thaw also is
credited with forcing down another
German machine, pr&)bab]y to destruc
tion, but it has been impossible to
verify this officially.
Corpl. Rockwell engaged his op
ponent at close quarters. He swoop
‘ed down upon the German aeroplane,
facing machine gun fire as he ap-
Yproachgd. He waited until he was
‘within thirty yards of the German
machine and then opened fire. At his
fifth shot the gunner of the German
machine tossed up his hands and fell
over on the pilot, who also crumpled
as the maehine began to plunge
downward, in flames, to the German
trenches near Uffholz. After it crash
ed to the ground it continued to burn.
Corpl. Rockwell was compelled to
turn at a sharp angle to avoid a col
lision with the German aeroplane. He
did not see the German machine strike
the ground, but the fact was reported
by artillery observers.
Two German aeroplanes flew over
the Franco-American camp on the
following day and dropped a bomb
which exploded within ten yards of
the machines, but caused no damai.
Corpl. Chapman and Lieut. Thaw took
to the air and the Germans fled. One
escaped in the haze. Lieut. Thaw
caught the other at a height of 3,200
yards and exchanged several volleys
at close range. Then his gun jammed
and he was obliged to desist.
