DRUNKENNESS IS
INCREASING HERE
Police Court Cases in 1912 Ex
pected To Exceed 16.000.
15.000 Last Year.
With returns tn from all but two
ninths, the total number of police
court cases for the year 1912 is expect
ed to exceed l«, 000. 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 so: the whole year will be
greater than the number of drunks for
lost year. The 1911 drunks totalled
2.636 To the first of November the to
tal for this year is 2,459. During Oc
tober 224 dtunks were tried--the small
est monthly record of the year, with
the exception of January and February.
The disorderly conduct cases 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 this 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 bit the 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 following
table:

Are you keeping your bowels, liver

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

gases, tike the excess bile from the
liver and carry out of the system all
the decomposed waste matter and poi

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

The Heating
Power of Coal
makes all the difference In the price,

burn evenly and leave only a tine ash.
cheap coal is full of clinkers, slag and

up the fire just when you most want it.
We sell the best grades of coal; coal
that is famous for its high percentage

’SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
Senator Augustus Octavius Bacon is
one of the most picturesque and inter
esting figures in the United States sen-
IS xiTxror
ate, and Georgia
ought to be proud
of him—as, indeed,
of course, Georgia
Is.
By reason of I
the deatli 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 was chosen fol
that distinguished
honor by a com-
bination of Democratic votet —he re
ceived all the Democratic votes of the
. senate—and a coterie of Progressives.
> Senator Bacon is universally esteem
ed and very liighlt respected In the
senate as an authority on foreign rela
. tions. As a mutter of fact, he is ad
mittedly the foremost authority in the
senate on that subject, and the com
mittee on foreign relations, of which he
, long has been a member, is his favorite
assignment.
In the make-up of the next senate, it
is an open secret that Bacon will be
i permitted to choose his chairmanship.
Anything he wishes in that line will be
conferred upon him by his colleagues
and the senate always has made its
i own committee assignments, regardless
of the wishes and desires of the presl
-1 dent of the senate, who is the vice pres
ident of tile United States.
Senator Bacon," it is said, can hav< a
cabinet portfolio, if he desires it. under
President Wilson; but those who know
, the senator do not believe lie would
exchange his senatorship for a cabinet
, place—nor for any other place under
the presidency, even If opportunity
were offered him to do so
While Senator Bacon will preside as
president pro tempore of the senate, he
will thereby lose none of his represen
tative capacity. His vote may be re- i
corded whenever lie desln s it. 'Die vice
president is not permitted to vote in the
senate, save in the case of a tie.
Senator Bacon will enter upon his
fourth term on .March 4 next. He is the
first and only senator ever given a
fourth term by the state of Georgia
Gee w hiz and goshullliemloek!'.
'Die sweet-tempered dispenser of
wisdom byway of this column of up
lift never for a minute intended start
ing anything in Rqme when, on Sat
urday, lie said there would lie only two
candidates for the postmastership of
Rome under President Wilson, viz:
John M. Vandiver and ‘Jack" Mc-
Cartney.
It seems that, besides Jack and John.
Leonard Todd, Nat Hoyt, and maybe
others w ill throw their bats in the ring,
too!
Sidelights lias been bombarded un
mercifully for undertaking to hold down

to lie but two cindidates for this fat

GEORGIA HUNTERS NOW
SHOOTING IN FLORIDA
THOMASVILLE, GA., Nov. 11. The
season for shooting quail, ducks, etc.,
opened in Florida on November 1, and
although it is still against the law to
shoot on the Georgia side of the line,
there is nothing to prevent the stepping
across to the Florida side and taking a
•shot at the “little brown beauties." As
the line is only about ten miles from
’ Thomasville, sportsmen from here art
not put to any hardship in making th-’
trip. Many from here are taking thi
opportunity to shoot ducks on Lake
' Miccasukie. where the supply Is said to
be unusually fine and plentiful this
year.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11. 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
Southern-born, and they know how
to cook chicken better than any
body in tlie world, the governor
thinks. He would rather have
chicken Southern style than a for
eign-cooked banefuet. The govern
or's idea of a tin. 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 spok< right from the
heart when, the day after the big vie
. tory, he exclaimed editorially. "Hur
rah for Ellie Lou Axson Wilson!”
■ The Hon. "Bait” Cox, of Gilmer
county, who played a star part in the
Morris-Patterson judicial hearing be-
• fore tlie 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 mar-vic
tory in Gilmer, won out heavily over
ills 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 tlie way down
the line tlie county plum tree was shak
en successfully for the Coxites
'Die 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
Chairman Murphey Candler’s opinion,
handed down as mart of tlie record in
tlie mileage "pulling” decision recently
rendered by the railroad commission.
Mr. Candler is a very studious man,
and he went, deeply into the subject in
hand, because he was particularly anx
ious to go upon tlie record clearly, and
witli fairness to all parties to the hear
ing.
It is interesting, too. that the deci
sion leaves Mr. Candler and Governor
Brown on common ground witli respect
to the disposition of the traveling men’s
petition, fi Mr. Candler was appointed
to t hf railroad commission by Govern
or Brown’s political opfonent for so
many years. Hon. Hoke Smith.
Mr. cAndler's attitude is being cited
by his friends, however, as convincing
evidence of his impartiality and rigid
non-partisanddp in matters coming be
fore the board,
it may b« stated upon most excellent
i authority that Judge Newt .Morris is to
I be “taken care of” under the adminis
' nation of President Woodrow Wilson.
I Those very close to Mr. Wilson are
J. -aid 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
J district attorneyship for north Geor-
! gia). in which event It is probable that
I Hon. Hooper Alexander, who first was
slated for this job, will be switched to
"something equally as good.”
That Morris surely is to “be taken
I care of." however, may be accepted as a
fact—that much has been decided upon
