DAWSON WILL MAKE INITIAL
VENTURE IN GRIDIRON
; GAME THIS FALL.
Prospects for a winning football
team at the Dawson high school this
fall are exceedingly bright, although
the grid game has never been played
here. Necessarily the boys will be ig
norant at the start of even the funda
mental principles of this increasingly
popular pastime.
Prof. A. H. Cox, who will have
charge of the eleven, is an old head at
the game and has had remarkable
success with the teams he has train
ed in other places. In Dawson he
will have excellent material to work
with, as the boys here .have long
wanted to include football in the
school athletics program, and the op
portunity of making it a major sport
this year looms ahead verv encourag
ingly.
The only handicap at present is the
fact that equipment is not here and
that since the eleven is not organiz
ed no schedule has been arranged. The
matter of equipment really presents a
problem, as the boys themselves will
probably not be able to outfit the en
tire squad the first year. After a game
or two in Dawson though there is no
doubt but that the attendance will be
‘encouraging, and once the local peo
ple are educated to the game they will
look forward to each home contest of
the grid scason.
Work has already been begun on
the gridiron at the high school campus,
and it is understood that the first
practices will be held during the ini
tial week of school.
PEARLMAN APPEALS FROM

seven-tenths covered and resulted in
a considerable darkening of the day.

was then entirely gone.
The eclipse though but partial here

Mack Cobb Badly Burned |
When Mixture Exploded
Was Heating Dip for Dogs When}
Boiler Sprang a Leak. |
Mr. J. M. Cobb was badly burned
about the hands &nd body Tuesday
night when a mixture he was heating
for a dog dip’ exploded and set the
candy kitchen just back of his cafe
on fire.
Mr. Cobb had mixed the different
ingredients and was heating them
when a leak in the vessel caused the
fluid to run down to the flame of the
stove, which resulted in an explosion.
The flames shot out on all sides, en
veloped Mir. Cobb and shut him off
completely from the one door of the
'small house. It was then necessary
for him to pass directly through the
fire to get outside. When he reached
‘the door his clothes were blazing, but
prompt action by two of his employes
extinguished the flames, and the fire
)departmcnt, making an exceptionally
quick run, put out the blaze in the
outer building, . which was consider
ably damaged.
At last reports Mr. Cobb was rest
ing easily, although his injuries are
exceedingly painful.
Officers Find a Still
In the Trunk of a Tree
lMoonshiners Ingeniously Hollow Out
Large Cypress for Booze Making.
Officers found a still in the trunk
of a tree Thursday on the Shields &
Hollingsworth farm in the southern
part of the county.
The still was ingenjously set in the
interior of the tree, which was an old
Icyprcss hollowed out so that it was
'possihlc to crawl into it. The tree
was a very large one, and it was im
possible to see from one end to the
other on account of the breadth of
the trunk. County Policeman Saye
found that, although the still was not
in operation, even the buck and the
’bcer were kept there and the whole
liquor making operation conducted
within the tree. The still was disman
tled and destroyed.
v Officer Saye found another still on
Mossy creeck near Bronwood. The
operator had evidently temporarily
abandoned it, as it was not in-opera
tion at the time of discovery, although
a quantity of mash was found.

!COURT OFFICIALS ADOPTED
} RESOLUTIONS COMPLI
MENTING NEW JUDGE.
' Just before the adjournment of the
!reccnt term of Habersham superior
court at Clarksville, which was pre
'sided over by Judge M. J. Yeomans,
’of the Pataula circuit. Solicitor Gen
‘eral Robt. McMillan requested of the
court a few minutes time with
Judge J. J. Kimsey in the chair. Mr.
McMillan offered the ‘following reso
lutions: |
“Resolved, that the Habersham bar,
officers of court, jurors and citizens
of the county extend to Judge Yeo
mans our profound thanks for the ef
ficient, courteous, patient and expedi
tious manmner in which he has presid
ed over this court;
“Resolved further, that a copy of
these resolutions be spread upon the
minutes of the court.”
These resolutions were seconded by
several and unanimously adopted after
appropriate remarks by C. W. Grant,
county school superintendent, and At
torneys J. J. Kimsey, Robert MlcMil
lan, J. C. Edwards, I. H. Sutton and
others.
Judge Yeomans, in responding, said:
“Gentlemen, I hardly know what to
say. I realize the importance of the
office I hold and I have studied care
fully the words of Moses, as recorded
in Deuteronomy: ‘And I charged your
judges at .that time, saying hear the
causes between your brethren, and
judge righteously between every man
and his brother, and the stranger that
is with him. Ye shall not respect per
sons in judgment; but ye shall hear
the small as well as the great; ye
shall not be afraid of the face of man;
for the judgment is God's, and the
cause that is too hard for you bring
it unto me and I will hear it. Thou
shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt
not respect persons, neither take a
gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of
the wise and pervert the words of the
righteous.” With this book as my
guide I shall do my utmost to judge
righteously. I thank you sincerely for
these words of commendation and for
the courteous treatment I have re
ceived at your hands.”
