Judge Eustace C. Butts, of the
court, has demonstrated recently
he intends to put a stop to the
tion of law in Glynn county,
ly the prohibition law, as far as
conies within hisdpower to dto so
the. bench softer,the accused have
found guilty by the jury.
For home time Judge 'Butts was
inclined to be lenient with those con¬
victed of selling whiskey, but gave
them to understand that a repetitior
of the offense would mean a more se
vore sentence, and that- if this did
hot prove sufficient, chaingang sen¬
tences would be imposed. Within the
past few months the same defend
ants have appeared in the city court
oil the same charge—violating the
prohibition law. The judge fulfilled
him promise to the accused, and at
| the present session of the court, fines
reaching $750.00, and twelve months
on the chaingang, have been imposed
These were tempered with mercy
however, the fine being reduced tr
$300.00, and the chaingang sentence
suspended pending the good behavioi
of the defendants, and the promise
that they will go to work and aban¬
don completely their former avoea
tion. If they are caught again thr
chaingang sentences arc to be en
forced peremptorily.
The action of Judge Butts is beinr
highly commended. It means that a
certain “ring” that has been operat
ing in Brunswick, in utter defiance
of the law. will be dissolved for good
and all. In fact it has already sus
pended operations. This is true o
several individuals who have beer
trafneing in the forbidden spirituou
refreshments. And liquor is not flow¬
ing nearly so freely in Brunswick and
environs, as it was a short time agi
and this largely attributable to thr
drastic action of Judge Butts, who b
making the bootleggers’ life anythin;
but pleasant hereabouts.
CONDEMNS PIf?“OL TOTING
‘AVe would accomplish more fo.
he safety and sae-'dness of hutnar
life by doing away with the pisto
than by scrapping ten battleships,’
declared Chief City Magistrate Me
Adoo of New York City a few days
ago while speaking before a meetin;
of tlie International Police Confer
ence.
Continuing, Mr. McAdoo said
“Even the ladies, God bless them
have taken to carrying guns, and i
won’t be long before the bride wil
march to the altar with the family
jfistoltstrapped to her waist.”
: i“T)fe pistol is coming to be the lia
denial badge of the American. Oui
reputation is smirched as a lot oi
shooters ana gun-carriers. And wc’P
lever get anywhere until we do away
with the notion that to have a gin
gives the honest citizen an advantage
over the crook.
“I have been held up and I’m glai
that I had no gun. If there had beer
one on me I know the two little awa
teur thugs that held me up would
have hit me on the head after takini
it from me.”
Magistrate McAdoo is right. Th
habit of pistol toting in this country
inis become so general that almost
every altercation results in one, oi
more of the participants being shot
Homicides are almost unheard of h
England and many other countrie:
and authorities attribute the low rate
mainly to the stringent anti-pisto
laws of these countries. Our statl
laws are too lax in reference to fil’<
arms and when it is realized that hu
man life is more sacred than th;
making of money by the fire arm;
trusts we may. have them tightened,
in Argentine having a pistol withou'
a license is a prison^offense -anil kill
tig a man in self-defense with a pis
oi does not excuse the man doing
the killing if he did it with a gun fo
which he had no license.
Too many of our people whip ou‘
■ pistol as they would a pocket knife
ind as long as our pistol laws are as
'ax as they are, and those that we
have enforced as loosely as they ate
■onditions arc going to become worse
instead of better.
‘WHAT’S HOKE SMITH AFTER?’
An editorial from the Columbus
Ledger under the above caption if
going the rounds of the state press.
It is very evident that there is a
growing impression in the state that
Mr. Smith is preparing to
active polities and that his
;s to return to the Senate, says
Albany Herald. If such is his
■oso the natural Inference is that
viil enter the race against
A’m. J. Harris next year.
There are thousands of
including some of Mr. Smith’s
niters and consistent friends,
would regret to see him
o wrest the Senatorial toga
Senator Harris. The Herald puts
,elf in that class.
*t r nen Mr HaTi'is^f'At'fffed the
then in the Senate ami his place there
•vas generally considered quite secure,
indeed, it was secure and would
remained so had he not made
mistake of permitting some of his
over-zealpus , friends - . , to , persuade , , .
to become % candidate in
as he himself termefl it, forth#
idency in 1920. His pqrpo&e ^as:
viously to get control gf the
delegation to the , national .. . ~ •
convention, and, incidentally, to
place his old political enemy, Clark
Howell, as Georgia’s member of the
National Democratic Committee.
Senator Smith Was defeated in that
ampaign, and his defeat followed in
the later primary for the Senatorial
nomination. Thfe Herald was among
hose of Senator Smith's friends who
apposed him in his candidacy for the
Presidency, but loyally supported him
some sixty days later for re-election
to tlie Senate.
This brief review of the political
developments in Georgia in 1920 is
made for the purpose of bringing out
the fact that when Mr. Harris be¬
came a candidate for the Senate there
was no outward Of expressed antag¬
onism between him and Senator
Smith, and there was, therefore, no
reasonable reason why friends of
Senator Smith might not support Mr.
Harris. Many of us, who were not
slaves to the factionalism then so
prevalent in our state polities, did
that very tiling. If Senator Smith
had been re-elected we would have
been happy, as both Senators would
have been our friends, or men of our
choice.
Now it has transpired that “Bill”
Harris, as his intimates call him, lias
“made good” as a Senator. His
friends have every reason to be pleas¬
ed with the manner in which he has
handled himself as a Senator, and his
oolitical enemies, if he has any, can¬
not find anything in his record upon
which to hang a campaign story that
would be likely to cost him any votes.
Senator Harris has been active and
Watchful and has proved to be one of
he most useful and helpful represen¬
tatives the people of Georgia have
Ever had at the national capital. He
has grown as a Senator and has
grown steadily in the confidence and
cstSein of the people, whom he is
earnestly striving to serve. He has
n: nageil to do more favors for Ggor
gians thafi perhaps any other Senator
he state has ever had.
And now let us say in conclusion
ind in a single paragraph of a few
lines what we have been heading up
to:
Hoke RnViUi would, in our humble
opinion, make another political mis¬
take if he should enter ‘the • race
against Senator Harris next year.
Many of his poiiticial friends, to say
nothing of those who have never Men
nis friends, have become the friends
o£ Senator Harris. The latter is now,
while Congress is not in session, go
ing all over the slate speaking to the
people and giving an account of his
stewardship. It is a well-known fact
that he is making a good impression
with the people as he meets them
face to fr o, and that he is stronger
with the people of- the state today
than he has ever been. Those who
have committed themselves to Sena¬
tor Harris either by word or implica¬
tion would not feel justifiedsin break¬
ing away from him, even though they
might under other circumstances be
glad to vote for their friend, Hoke
Smith, again. Under all the circum
stances it would seem that if Mr.
Smith wants to make another try for
the Senate it would be Wise to wait
for a better chance than he could
possibly have in entering the
against Senator Harris.
DEMOCRATS IN ILLINOIS
Recent minor elections show that
all the straws or being blown to
ward the Democratic camp. Illinois
will do for an illustration:
fn Mount Vernon township Demo¬
cratic supervisors were elected for
the first time in ten years, giving
the Democrats 14 of the 19 super
visors in that county. v
In Shelbyville the Democrats elcct
i ed a mayor and all city officials ex
; cept one alderman, defeating a Re¬
publican mayor for re-election.
In Charleston the Democrats elect¬
ed a mayor by a majority of more
than 2 to 1.
j It MaUtJoh the Democrats elected a
i city clerk ana city treasury.
Coming events cast their shadows,
: etc.
!
the Glynn county schools were
| or in a more flourishing condition,
j and the indications are that the clos¬
ing exercises this year will be on

years. •; The term extend to
its original date,' there being no i:f
tehtion on the part of the board of
education to shorten the term, as ha:;
been the case in Chatham county, on
(•count, of a lack of funds. No such

When Back Hurts Flush Your
Kidneys as You Clean

Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, sometimes get sluggish
and clogged and need a flushing occa-- dull
siomilly, else wc have backache and
misery in the kidney region, severe torpid
headaches, rheumatic twinges,
liver, acid sttimach, sleeplessness and
all sorts of bladder disorders.

active and clean and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region begin drinking lots of water.

from any good drug store here, take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water be¬
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act line. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with litlua,
and is intended to flush clogged kid¬
neys and help stimulate them to activ¬
ity. It also helps neutralize the acids
in the urine so they no longer irritate,
thus helping to relieve bladder dis¬
orders.

then to help keep their kidneys clean.
A well-known local druggist says he
sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who be¬
lieve in irving to correct kidney all trouble
while it is only trouble. By means
have your physician examine your kid¬
neys at least twice, c. year.
