The Dalton Citizen, which Is one of the highest-class weekly newspapers | in the South, beautiful typographical- I ly and edited with rare intelligence, in very earnest and vigorous in its op- I position to-capital punishment in • Georgia, and rarely loses a promising opportunity to cry out against it. ^ Making note r* « enil.v of some prog ress in Georgia of a movement against capital punishment that it» sure eventually to crystallize Into a compelling force Inside the legisla ture, The citizen says: There are five States in the Union that have. abolished the barbarous custom, and the day la coming when all them will do the same thing The State. In hanging a crimi nal but imitates his crime, ex cept as to methods employed, and in s6 doing sets an example that encourages the criminally In clined to murderous deeds as much as does the same kind of a crime committed by the individ ual "Like begets like.” Murder breeds murder, whether commit ted by the individual or by the State under the guise of law. The great teacher, Christ, in veighed against the old Mosaic injunction of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," and yet Christian people stand up for a custom that should shame the civilization of a Hottentot. May the day speedily arrive when Judicial murder will be at an end in this great Common wealth and also In this great na tion!" N Capital punishment probably will j be abolished in Georgia eventually— Just as It will be abolished every- I where In the civilized world—and al ready the sentiment against It Is very strong. One need only listen to the striking of a jury In a murder case In Georgia to realize how many people even now will not qualify because of their opposition to this foihn of pun ishment for crime It does not seem likely that capital punishment for all crimes will be abolished at one wwoep in Georgia but after a while there likely will be Introduced and passed through the Legislature a bill sharply circum scribing it. and that will be followed later by a law- stopping it altogether That, at least, is what a great many intelligent observers now believe. Governor and Mrs Slaton will spend the Christmas holidays in the Executive Mansion In Peachtree street; Secretary and Mrs. Ulm are In Augusta, Mr. Urn’s old home, and Heoretary Jesse Perry, who Is a bridegroom-elect* will spend Christ mas in Jgivonia. where the future Mrs. Secretary’ Perry resides. Logan Bleckley. who probably knows whereof he speaks, thinks the Supreme Court of Georgia is about the real solution of perpetual motion. “That court,” said Mr. TJeckley to day. “rarely gets much recess on Christmas week—and once it actually sat to hear arguments on Christmas Day! “Sundays It doesn’t work, and now and then an occasional holiday finds it not on Its Job, but generally speaking it is grinding all the time. It hears < arguments, then consults, and then ; divides to write its opinions, which 1 are gone over by the court as a whole. “The present court will not alt on Christmas Day this year—but It will j come mighty ntar doing It!" When Judge Robert Pottle leaves tbe bench of the Court of Appeals, j which he will do shortly, he will at once enter actively into the practice I of law in partnership with I. J. Hof- mayer, of Albany The Judge has j had this arrangement under eonsid- eration for several months, and has i freely discussed it with a number of j his closer friends. Judge Samuel S. Bennett, of Albany, who has been indorsed to the Govern or rather heavily as Judge Pottles successor on the Court of Appeals, Is law partner of John D. Pope Governor Slaton has not made up his mind who shall have Judge Pot tle's place on the Appellate bench, and it Is well known that It is Ilia intention not to take that matter up for serious and u.ial consideration until after Judge Pottle’s resignation actually has been filed. “Presumably, eggnog Is not as fashionable in Georgia nowadays as formerly," said a well-known Capitol attache and authority on fancy drinks, discussing Christmas to-day, ‘but I hear frequent references to that very palatable concoction, nev ertheless. as the holidays come on. "As a matter of fact—and this is particularly true in the clubs while everybody talks eggnog, few. indeed, really get any of It during the Christ mas se&aon! “Nine times out of ten. eggnog promised turns out in the consuming to be eggilip only. And there never was a day that an eggttip was as good as an eggnog-, although there are worse things than eggflips. of course! “There is never any milk or cream used in a real eggnog--once either at these things is added, the mixture peases to be an eggnog, whatever else It may be. Generally, it degen erates into an egg flip, as aforesaid. “If one really wishes to enjoy the delights of eggnog he should treat himself to real eggnog it is very easily made—and pass up all drinks with milk additions. Milk makes the mixture aloppy. for one thing. A real eggnog is a thing of beauty and joy forever —why spoil It by putting milk in it? : Victo^ Morley, However, Is En tertaining and Saves, Single- Handed, Diluted Production.

XMAS RATES Reduced over N., C. & St L. Ry. and W & A R R Apply any Agent. By TARLETON COLLIER It is considerably to the credit of “The Quaker Girl," as presented at the Atlanta Theater Monday night, that it leaves a pleasant impression in spite of several decided handicaps j How this is done It Is hard to say, except that Victor Morley is there to accomplish a large hit of the salva tion single-handed. Naturally enough, the first handi cap you would think of is that “The Quaker Girl” Is here for its second season However, that is not to be deplored altogether, for there is mu sic In the show of quality sufficiently robust to stand repetition The real burden which “The Qua ker Girl" must bear is a lamentable lack of good voices. Except In the one instance of the “Come to the Bail" song, there was no volume in either the solo or the ensemble sing ing. AltogeT\^r. it 1s a rather diluted production that is here this week. The plaintive puerility of Miss Bernice McCabe, the Quaker Girl, Is one «f the first things that strikes you. However, sinee f Ingenuousness and shrinking is an attribute of a maiden of the Friends, this is not altogether unfortunate, perhaps. And Miss Mc Cabe is pretty and a fair dancer. It stands without danger of con tradiction that Victor Morley is an excellent comedian. Monday flight he was a joy even to those who saw- him and laughed with him last season. Mr. Morley, being a versatile person, can entertain and delight with his non sense even while he plays the admir able hero, in swagger hero clothes. His dancing is excellent “The Quaker Girl" will be at the Atlanta for performances Tuesday and Wednesday evening and Wednes day matinee. Happy Hooligan Runs True to Form. “Happy Hooligan.” invariable vic tim In the myriad misadventures pic tured by F. Opper in the Sunday com ic sections, runs true to form as he Is transported Into musical comedy at the Lyric this week. Manhandled, pummeled and black jacked wtlh the prescribed regularity by an obese policeman, “Happy's" lot is made the least bit tolerable, only from the fact that he is surrounded by a chorus unusually good to look upon. It follows that the sympathy for him In his misfortunes is not at all times unmixed with envy. Harry Lamont has the part of this Incarnation of Hard Luck, and. be sides carrying it to the lively appro bation of his audience, does some rather clever specialties. Joe J. Sul livan and Martin Guild—respective!v Irish and Dutch comedian—are wall adapted to the play’s type of fun. Tha feminine principals —Celia Mavis and Vera FYanklln are capable. The singing Is a little better than the average for popular-priced musi cal show's. The production has its own style of comedy, which almost might be described as simply an elab oration of Upper’s brand of humor And. again, the maidens of the cho rus are a few points above par. Clever Sketch Feature Of New Forsyth Bill. Bozeman Bulger’s attempt at an in timate picture of veterans of the Blue and Gray falls short of the perfection achieved by Irvin Cobb at the same task In his “Back Home" stories.
