DRUNKENNESS IS
INCREASING 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 I
R -vurt cases for the yea: 1912 Is expect
ed to exceed 16,000. 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 - <me ratio as is
! shown by the month of October, the
► number for the whole year will be
I .greater than the number of drunks for
last year. The 1911 drunks totalled
3,636. To the first of November the to
tal for this year is 2,459. During Oc
tober 224 drUnks 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 vlolatirftis 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 btg 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

ought to be proud
of him —as, indeed
of course, Georgia
is.
By rea-son of

President Sher. |
man, the senior I
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 for
that distinguished
honor by a com-
bination of Democratic votes —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 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
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
own committee assignments, regardless
of the wishes and desires of the presi
dent of the senate, who 1« the vice pres
ident of the United States.
Senator Bacon, it is said, can have a
cabinet portfolio, if he desires it, under
President Wilson; but those who know
the senator do not believe he 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
corded whenever he desires it. The 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 stJte of Georgia.
Gee whiz and goshallhemloek!!
The sweet-tempered dispenser of
wisdom byway of this column of up
lift never for a minute intended start
ing anything in Rome when, on Sat
urday, he said there would be 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 will throw their hats in the ring,
too!
Sidelights has been bombarded un
mercifully for undertaking to hold down
the fight to two—a measly two! —con-
testants.
The imaginary fact that there were
to be but two candidates for this fat
job seemed to carry a large and un
usual element of news to the story
printed Saturday. That was the com
pelling cause of the item’s publication,

However, one might have known that
was too good to be true!
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 are
not put to any hardship in making the
trip. Many from here are taking the
opportunity to shoot ducks on Lake
Miccasukie, where the supply is said to
be unusually fine and plentiful this
year.
CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS TO

MACON. GA., Nov. 11.—Macon's

been purchased adjacent to Wesleyan
college, at the corner of Madison and
Jefferson streets, for $6,000. and a hand

few Christian Scientists In Macon. Now
the congregation numbers nearly 200.

By JAMES B. NEVIN.
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 the world, the governor
thinks. He would 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 right from the
heart when, the day after the big vic
tory, he exclaimed editorially, “Hur
rah for Ellie Lou Axson Wilson!"
The Hon. "Bart" Cox, 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
Chairman Murphey Candler’s opinion,
handed down as part of the record in
the 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 the record clearly, and
with 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 with respect
to the disposition of the traveling men's
petition, for Mr. Candler was appointed
to the railroad commission by Govern
or Brown's political opponent for so
many years, Hon, Hoke Smith.
Mr. Candler’s attitude is being cited
by his friends, however, a.s convincing
evidence of ills impartiality and rigid
non-partisanship in matters coming be
fore the board. •
It maj' be stated upon most excellent
authority that Judge Newt Morris is to
be "taken care of" under the adminis
tration of President Woodrow Wilson.
Those very close to Mr. Wilson are
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
lie is to have the position now held by
former Congressman Carter Tate (the
district attorneyship for north Geor
gia). in which event it Is probable that
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
care of.” however, may be accepted as a
fact—that much has been decided upon
