WOODRUFF DENIES PURPOSE TO BAN CIGARETTES I have just returned after a several days’ trip, which included a stop over in Washington, D. C., in the interest of my DeKalb county con stituents, and was very much sur prised to find that a number of the papers over the state had been car rying a news item stating that at the next regular session of the Georgia legislature I would introduce a bill to prohibit the sale of cigarettes. I have never, and do not now ex pect to consider the introduction of such a measure. The Woman’s Christian Temper ance Union of Georgia that has done so much for the moral uplift of the state, and for which I have the most profound respect, has never as an or ganization, nor by individuals, ap proached me on the subject. The many weighty matters now on the calendar of the incoming legis lature, including my anti-pool room bill, are sufficient to consume most of the fifty days allotted to us. Again thanking the noble people of our state for the generous sup port I have received through their co-operation in matters intended for the benefit of the state, I am, Yours for service, ALBERT J.

WOMAN IS CAPTURED - AS OFFICERS RAID LUMPKIN COUNTY STILL Gainesville, Ga.—Prohibition En forcement Officers Kimsey, Gastley, Allred and Weaver and Deputy Sheriff Hopkins left Gainesville Wednesday to stage a general and comprehensive raid in Lumpkin county. They visited Nimblewill district, and bagged seven stills, ranging in size from 75 to 50 gallon capacity. They destroyed 145 gallons of li quor and 26,000 gallons of beer. Two men and ayoung woman were cap tured: S. P. Bennett, Raymond Chester, and Miss Annie Fricks. When the officers neared the still where Miss Fricks was working the men were just vanishing in the bush es, but the maiden grabbed the still cap and ran with it. Thus encumber ed, she was easily captured. Her lit tle sister, ten years old, was also at the still, but the officers let her be. The two men and the girl were re leased on bond. The stills destroyed occupied a radius o fabout 12 miles. At five of the stills no one was found, but the fire was going and the pots boiling.

In the letter he said that he recently had occasion to re move the spare tire from the rear of his car and was supprised to find the tag, which had been partially hidden, was a 1922 tag. Therefore he wrote asking the secretary to have an ex amination of his records made and find if he had ever paid the 1923 tax. Records disclose that Mr. Pittman had not paid thetax for last year, and receipt for his 1924 tax has been forwarded, with the request that he send check for $11.25 for the 1923 tax. However, it is plain that Mr. Pitt man has excellent luck with his tires, for evidently he has had no reason for disturbing his spare for twelve months or more. TWICE-A-WEEK CHM.

Cowles of the department of biology at the Johns Hopkins University, follow ing birth of the Wittig quadruplets, 2119 Moyer street. Howard Jackson itig lived up to all known traditions. Prolessor Cowles said in remaining distinctly in the minority. Thep roportion of males decreased as the number born simultaneously increases, he said. Based upon health department’s figures, te Wittig family is sched uled to old the laurels in Baltimore for more than twenty years. Nowhere in his study of ancient history has acase of triplets or of quadruplets come to his attention, Professor David M. Robinson, prom inent archaeologist said. A number of pairs of twins have figured in the istory of Greece and Rome. Among the Wittig quadruplets Marion Davies Wittig is going to be a financier. Of this, eGorge L. Wit tig, proud father of tile quadruplets, was certain. For Marion Davies Wit tig blinked both eyes deliberately and distinctly when she was shown the newest addition to her bank ac count, which now totals SSO, the gift of Marion Davies the motion picture star.
