DRUNKENNESSIS
INGREASING HERE
Police Court Cases in 1912 Ex
pected To Exceed 16.000.
15.000 Last Year.
With returns in from all but two
months, the total number of police
court cases for the year 1912 Is expect
ed to exceed 16,00<i, The 1911 record
was 15,013
The total number of cases tried to
date Is 13,491.
Figuring the drunks for November
and December at the same ratio as is
* shown by the month of October, the
number for the whole year will he
greater than the numbet of drunkr for
'last year. The 1911 drunks totalled
2,636. To the first of November the to
tal for this yea: is 2,459. During Oc
tober 224 drunk» were tried- the small
est monthly record of the year, with
the exception of January and February.
The disorderly conduct <ases for
1911 totalled 8.802, while to the first of
November this year the total is 7.507.
The greatest number of disorderly con
duct cases for any one month tins year
was 1,001 in August. Police officials
attribute this increase mainly to exten
sive violations of the fly screen ordi
nance, for which large numbers of
cases were made this summer and fall.
Raids on Tigers Boost Total.
This, with the wholesale raids on
blind tigers by the police, is given as
the main factors for the big court
showing.
"Many tigers have hit ihe dust dur
ing the year," says Chief Beavers.
A comparison of the figures of this
year up to November, with the record
of last year, is shown by the foliowit,g
table

Are you keeping your bowels, lixer

Cascarets. or merely forcing a passage
way through these alimentary or drain
age organs every few days with Salts,
Cathartic Pills, Castor Oil or Purgative
Waters?
Stop having a bowel wash-day. Let
.Cascarets thoroughly cleanse and reg
ulate the stomach, remove the undigest
ed. sour and fermenting food and foul
take the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of tin- system all
the decomposed waste matter and poi

A Cascaret tonight will make you
feel groat by morning. They work
while you sleep- never gripe, sicken or

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
| Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon is
I one of the most picturesque and inter-
I esting figures in the United States sen-
V *vi
r. surviM
ate, and Georgia
ought to be proud
of him —as, indeed i
of course, Georgia
is.
By reason of
the death of Vice
President Sher,
man. the senior
senator from
Georgia will pre
side over the fu
ture deliberations
of the senate, as
president pro tem
pore. for the re
mainder of the
present congress.
He w hx ehosen for
that distinguished
honor by a com-
bination of Democratic vote- he re
ceived all the Democratic votes of the
senate and a coterie of Progressives.
Senator Bacon is universally esteem
ed and very highly respected in the
senate as an authority on foreign rela
tions. As a matter of fact, he is ad
mittedly tlie foremost authority in the
senate on that subject, and tlie com
mittee off foreign relations, of which lie
long lias been a member, is his favorite
assignment.
in the make-up of tlie next senate, it
is an open secret that Bacon will be
permitted to choose his chairmanship.
Anything he wishes in that line will be
conferred upon him by his colleagues—
and tlie senate always lias made its
own committee assignments, regardless
of the wishes and desires of the presi
dent of tlie senate, who is tlie vice pres
ident of tile United States.
Senator Bacon, it is said, can have a
cabinet portfolio, if lie desires it. under
President Wilson; but those who know
the senator do not believe lie would
exchange his senatorslilp for a cabinet
place—nor for aim other place under
tlie presidency, even if opportunity
, were offered him 'o do so
While Senator Bacon will preside as
president pro tempore of tlie senate, lie
will thereby Jose none of his represen
tative caput ity. His vote may tie re
corded whenever lie desires it. The vice
president is not permitted to vote in the
senate, save in the ease of a tie.
Senator Bacon will enter upon ids
fourth term on March 4 next. He Is the
first ami only senator ever given a
fourth term by the state of Georgia.

opened in Florida on November 1. and
although it is still against the law to
shoot on tile Georgia side of tlie line,
there is nothing to prevent the stepping
across to tlie Florida side and taking a
’ shot at the "little brown beauties." As
the line is only about ten miles from

HIE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY. NOVEMBER IL 1912.
A Georgia editor has been hearing
delightful things about the way domes
tic affairs will be conducted inside the
white house after March 4 next.
He has been reading some mighty |
fetching words recently uttered by •
Mrs. Wilson, and particularly is he
pleased with these:
"We have always had cooks from |
the South, or those who were I
Southern-born, and they know how
to cook chicken better than any
body in the world, the governor
thinks. He wrquld rather have
chicken Southern style than a. for
eign-cooked banquet. The govern
or’s idea of a fine dinner includes
chicken Southern style, rice and
candied sweet potatoes, with beans
and corn, fruit and a salad. Never
do we have a meal without rice."
Former Representative J. Lindsay
Johnson, one of Georgia's best known
editors, evidently spoke light from the
heart when, the day after the big vic
tory, he exclaimed editorially. "Hur
rah for Ellie Lou Axson Wilson!"
The Hon. “Bart' <'ox, of Gilmer
county, who played a star part in the
Morris-Patterson judicial hearing be
fore the state Democratic committee in
Atlanta a few weeks ago. and whose
grand, gloomy and peculiar political gy
rations were held in large measure re
sponsible for the big Morris near-vic
tory in Gilmer, won out heavily over
his rivals in old Gilmer a few days ago,
when he and his entire following swept
the county for the local offices.
The Hon. "Bart,” who for a good
many years has been clerk of the su
perior court of Gilmer, has just been
elected ordinary, and all the way down
the line the county plum tree was shak
en successfully for the Coxites
The so-called “boss of Gilmer" still
is on the job in his vicinity, it would
seem-—and it looks as If he may be
there to stay put indefinitely, more
over.
Even those who dissent are admit
ting the logic and authoritativeness of
ilhajrman Murphey Candler’s opinion,
handl'd (}own as part of the record tn
tlie mileage “pulling" decision recently
rendered by the railroad commission.
Mr. Candler is a very studious man,
and he went deeply into tlie subject in
hand, because he was particularly anx
ious to go upon the record clearly, and
with fairness to all parties to the hear
ing.
It is interesting, too. that the deei
i sioii leaves Mr. Candler and Governor
I Brow n on common ground with respect
to the disposition of the traveling men's
petition !'o Mr. Candler was appointed
to the railroad commission by Govern
or Brown's political opponent for so
1 many years. Hon. Hoke Smith.
Mr. CajiiJJer's attitude is being cited
by his friends, however, as convincing
evidence of his impartiality and rigid
non-partisansliip in matters coming be
' fore the board.
It may I>< stated upon most excellent
I authority that Judge Newt Morris is to
J be “taken care of" under the adminis
tration. of President Woodrow Wilson.
I Those very close to Mr. Wilson are
I said to have interested themselves in
! Judge Morris to such an extent that
the former judge of the Blue Ridge
. is to have something of a particularly
satisfactory sort —indeed, it Is said that
he is to have the position now held by
former Congressman Carter Tate (the
I district attorneyship for north Geor-
L | gia). in which event it is probable that
I lion. Hooper Alexander, who first was
I ijlated for this job, will be switched to
i "something equally as good."
That Morris surely is to “be taken
i care of." however, may be accepted as a
sact —that much has been decided upon
