grand jury to induct such persons as
i
may hold these licenses, except where
it may be shown, as in the case of drug i
stores, they are used for legitimate
purposes, and not for the unlawful sale
of intoxicants, the law placing upon
I the defendant the burden of proof;
I wherever indictments are returned,
and defining the holding of internal
I revenue licenses as prima facie evi
dence of violation of the state prohi
bition laws.

Several Americus people went down
,on Flint river fishing Tuesday. The
tithing sport was good, but their visit
was shortened on account of the snakes
and alligators they ran into. One of
the party killed a rattlesnake with six
rattles and a button, and looked around
on the other side of him, found a big
moccasin and on the banks of the river
two large alligators sunning them
iclvcs One of the party remarked
t'.at he was ready to go back as he
Gidn’t know what he might run into
r.ext —the others disagreed with him,
heweter, and proceeded to fish, having;
I very good luck for the day, and not
.(encountering any more snakes.
One of the party on thia fishing trip,
b.ad been suffering with a pain in his
right arm for some time, from which
at times he is scarcely able to raise
his arm. He, getting thirsty, found a
stream of water bubbling up near the
river banks, drank heartily. Since he
drank the water his arm has been al
right, and now he can use it as well as
'ever. He is at a loss to know the
cause, whether the water, the fright
I
item the snakes and alligators, or the
< xerciso of the trip. He states, how
e.er, that if his arm hurts him again
he thinks he will return to the river
■ for another drink of water.
