HU 1
_ BY TOM MNNY -
i-.r:
Dudlev Glass, columnist for -the Atlanta Constitution,
and for a io, lit time with the old Atlanta Georgian, is 1 be
lieve, the guy who can write a whole column about noth
ing. Well, Dudley, old chap, this reporter could certainly
use you today.
Now, it isn’t so hard to bang out just any old
thing. The readers (if any) can’t do anything about it
but just stop reading; they can’t get you told back in
print for your slop-sided writing and lack of interest
in things as a whole. But if you are one who consid
ers things as you go along and try to do unto others
as you would they do unto you it is simple to find that
it isn’t easy to dish out just any old kind of column.
You simply want to do something worth while.
j’or several issues of I he News this column went un
der the heading, “Kinney’s Kolumn.” Now that title
seemed just a little careless to me. It appeared that time
wasn’t even taken to name the column. Under the above
heading it is our sincere hope that new readers will be
claimed by the column and that old alike will, in some way
get a blessing through our typewriter thoughts. It is our
heart-felt hope that everyone who reads this column will
really and truly “Consider this.”
A day spent at the court house revealed some as
tounding truths in the way of people’s thought* and
their true feelings toward their fellowman. Case af
ter case was tried before Judge Davis. And in every
case heard Tuesday it was my honest conviction that
all could have been settled out of court if either of
the parties in each case had come down to the ground
with some he# est-to-goodness sound thinking mixed
with a little l-#/e for their fellowman.
After hearing two cases, both of which had beer or I
whiskey as the motive behind the crime, 1 asked Sheriff
Grady Benton if most of the cases weren’t brought about
as a result of whiskey or beer. “1 would say that around
90 per cent of all the cases tried here are results of whis
key or beer,” replied Sheriff Benton.
Now, there really isn’t any use for this column to
^jegin damning liquor and beer. I doubt if a single
person would quit drinking because of anything that
might be said here but at the same time I do think I
right-thinking people should be told about the picture
.
that unfolded before my eyes Tuesday in the Newton 1
County court house.
There sat a mother and a father of a boy who was on
trial for assault with intent to murder. The boy was nicely
dressed—he looked neat and there was some appearance
of genuine honesty in his eyes. But too, there were
sighs about his puffy complexionThat could not be over
looked |by anyone that has ever had Urn liquor habit.
Even before a witness was heard to say that the
boy had drunk beer with him before committing the
crime with which he was charged I knew that whis
key had played a part in that youth’s life. The liquor
habit does something to the skin and not only that—
it does something to the soul. Yes, sir, it will send it to
hell if you just stick with it.
The tragic part of the picture I saw there in the old
court house Tuesday is the part that Mother and Father
played in the little drama which took place before
Davis bench Tuesday afternoon. v
After the jury had returned the verdict of “guilty
of stabbing” and with a recommendation of mercy,
the real drama took place. That father was standing
there with tears in his eyes—that mother was sitting
back there with a heart so heavy she could hardly
breathe—Judge Davis, with all signs of great sympa
thy for the family before him, rendered his decision
the best that possibly could have been handed down
, J U d ? e
‘
I sentence you 1 to . one year oi labor, , , ,, said Judge T j „ Da
vis. That young boy’s knejs almost buckled as I saw Prima
Camera’s in a prize fight with Max Baer in New York in
1934 . “But in view of the jurors’ plea for mercy,” con
tinued the Judge, “I’ll suspend the sentence with a sixty
dollar fine.”
Joy and happiness came into the eyes of that father
and mother and to that boy, too. Perhaps the boy has
learned a lesson. I hope so, but there have been so many
different cases of liquor entanglements that the best way
found yet to shake the shakies of sin and the liquor habit
is to get under the blood of Jesus Christ. The grace of God
IS sufficient.
