SHOAL CREEK NEWS
School began at Shoal Creek last
Monday with a good attendance
and all the teachers on the job.
Mr, Fed West has returned from
Florida. It might be well to see
Fed if you are interested in
oranges, aligator hides or mosquito
nets.
We are having some frost lately.
In many places in this section it
was less than a foot deep.
Oh! my goodness, what was it
we got wrong last week? Why
yes, it was about some parties
getting married that never got
married. Now we are in a fix you
bet. Well some one told us or we
would not have said anything about
it. Any way we are sorry there
was no wedding; no not that, but
sorry we made such a mistake,
now that’s it.
Several from Shoal Creek
attending court this week.

The Courier is very grateful to
those of our subscribers who heed¬
ed to the call in our last issue to
come in and pay their subscription.
The Courier is deeply interested
in this section’s development. We
want to see it grow. We will
continue to strive that your own
mountains may become the resting
places of people from many sections
during the sultry summer months.
We believe in this section’s future.
It is just as sure to come as the
sun rises in the east. If we didn’t
believe that sincerely we would tell
you so. White County is logically
located. It is the hub. But The
Courier needs the co-operation and
assistance of every citizen in White
County. Won’t you give it to us.
Tell the man that continually
borrows your Courier to subscribe
for it. He will do it if you will go
alter him. It is up to everybody
to do their part. God placed you
here to do something. You can do
many more useful things than you
are now doing for the development
of your county if you will.
Help us and we will help you.

ASBESTOS BUZZING
Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Westmore¬
land and three of their children
gave Mr. and Mrs. Augustine
\ andiver, of Fannin County, a
short visit last week.
Nearly all our people attended
court last Monday, but there were
some who decided that the chest¬
nuts had begun to tali and they
went to see about them.
There was a young man by the
name of Robertson of Northern
Indiana who formally went with
the Rmgling Bros. Show, but lias
been with the Wild West Show
for the last six weeks. He quit
them at Gainesville and was pass¬
ing this way lately on his Nvay to
Helen to find work. lie told us he
was tired of working in the mud,
wearing wet clothes and eating
one meal a day all for .$5.50 per
week.
We had an uinvelcomed visitor
here last Saturday night, lie was
Jack Frost but he is now gone
back North for he fears the sun
and likes to stay with the snow
man for they are very good friends.
Some of us helped a fellow out
of the mud last winter and he has
forgotten it this soon for he came
along the road the other day in his
auto and did not ask us to ride
with him. The roads are good
now but there will be plenty of
mud this winter and we will re¬
member him in our prayers but the
prayers of the wicked availeth
nothing.
This frosty weather will kill the
ticks. Some dread the ilea’s travel¬
ing expenses but they do not fear
his ration bill. It is quite the re¬
verse with the tick for they dread
his ration bill but do not mind his
traveling expenses. When be has
found a good location his body
grows faster than Jonah’s gourd
vine but his head does not grow
much for lie does not need much
head for vve do his thinking for
him. She told him he was a sight
but he is a parasite. The mistletoe
is a parasite too and will kill the
tree if it is not taken off. A few
years ago there was a fellow whose
health began to fail, lost his appe¬
tite and looking very gloomy and
was almost ready to make his will.
His good wife began io notice there
was something wrong and so she
asked him what was the matter
with him. Then he broke the sad
news to her that he had a mush¬
room cancer on his back. She
asked to see his cancer and when
she looked, lo and behold it was a
very large tick which had taken its
abode there. She told him she
could cure that cancer and she got
a pair of plyers and pulled the tick
off and that is the last that has
been heard of it.

EDGAR FULLER
SHOOTS FATHER
Edgar Fuller, son of Mr. and
Mrs. M. 8. Fuller, of near Oeve
land, shot, his father, Milliard'
Fuller", late Monday nften/odiL
with a shotgun in the yard of their
home. The shot took effect in t lie
muscles of Mr. Fuller’s right arm.
It is stated by Edgar that his
father had been drinking for a day
or two, but on Monday he became
rather unbearable and dangerous.
Edgar alleges that his father cursed
Mrs. Fuller, using the vilest oaths.
Edgar says he got the shotgun for
fear his father, raving under a
desperate state of anger, might
procure the gun and shoot them
both.
Upon returning from milking
Mrs. Fuller entered the house, it is
alleged by Edgar, while he, Edgar,
remained on the porch. His father
approached him, with a knife in
his left hand, cursing him, with a
hammer in his right, when Edgar
says he leaped into the yard and
shot his father at short range in
the right arm.
At the time of the shooting it
appears there were no persons
present except the three above
mentioned. Milliard, his wife and
Edgar, their son.
Mr. Fuller was given immediate
attention by a local physician and
taken to a hospital in Gainesville
where his arm has been amputated,
and Edgar was placed in jail until
a preliminary trial could be given
him which has not been done up
to the time we go to press.

THE DRUNKEN DRIYER
In the hands of one who has put
an enemy into his mouth to steal
away his brains, a motor vehicle is
ever a potential and often an actual
instrument of death. If a railway
engineer were found intoxicated at
his throttle lie would be peremp¬
torily discharged and never again
trusted. An intoxicated man at a
steering wheel is not a whit less
blameworthy or less dangsrous.
lie is criminally hazarding the
lives of those in his car and of all
who inay chance to come within
his path. He as well might stag¬
ger through a crowded thorough¬
fare firing pistols. He is an out¬
law, no less than the highwayman,
a slayer no less than the murderous
ithug. And how often does it
happen that his victim is an honor¬
ed citizen or a little child!
More and more the drunken
driven is being condemned as a
peril to the public and as volun¬
tarily launching upon a crime that
deserves no sort of palliation.
^Courts having regard for the com¬
monwealth are going the full
length of their authority to punish
this offense, and legislatures are
making the statutes pertaining
thereto more stringent. Indiana
has adopted a measure which pro¬
vides that a drunken driver may be
fined in the maximum sum of five
hundred dollars, to which may be
added imprisonment from ten days
to six months. For repeated of¬
fenses, prison terms from one to
five years are specified. “The
court trying the case shall enter an
order prohibiting said persons from
•striving an automobile or motor¬
cycle for any person not exceeding
one year.”
This is indicative of the trencfof
public sentiment and of official
judgement. The hand of the
drunken driver is against every
man. Fo wonder that every man’s
hand is against him.- -Editorial in
The Atlanta Journal.
Judge f. B. Jones is true
friend to the mountains.
IIis sound and seasoned proph¬
esies of the marvelous develop¬
ment that is about to take place in
this section is particular interesting,
lie based his prophesies on the
recent development of highways
that can be traveled at any time ol
the year. He realizes that this
section has such wonderful oppor¬
tunities for taurist hotels, summer
houses and general recreation,
coupled with the granduer which
cannot be equalled anywhere.
Judge told us he had recently
learned that Mr. Young, the de¬
veloper of Hollywood, Fla., had
purchased the Wm, J. Simmons
Dam in Nacoochee Valley, which
he believed would be the real be¬
ginning of the development in
White County.
Judge Jones is an enthusiastic
supporter of Unicoi Gap road be¬
ing made a state highway. He
realizes if this is made a state high¬
way just what it will mean to all
Georgia.
In the charge to the Grand Jury,
Judge Jones laid particular stress
on the breaking of the prohibition
law. He illustrated this to the
jury in a most forceful manner.
His plea was better citizenship.

If you have ever ridden over a rough road in a
J springless vehicle you w ill appreciate the usefulness of
springs which absorb the shock.
Lile is generally conceded to be a pretty rough road,
and there is many a shock coming to the man w ho is
trying to get along without shock absorbers.
There are numerous shock absorbers on the market
for such an individual, but the best is a bank account
.
Ask any man who has one and he’ll tell you.
