CIDER IS HARMLESS
Supreme Court Judge so De-
cided Last Night.
Point involved in Habeas Corpus Case Argued
Before Judge Douglas Last Nigh. It
is Test Case.

Does champagne cider intoxicate?
A test case involving this very interest
ing subject was heard upon an applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Douglas last night at the Supreme
court
The champagne cider knocked out it's
opponents and Harvie Mangum, colored,
who swore out the writ was dismissed
from custody, though he had only been
a prisoner in the technical sense of the
word.
The evil and good effects of cham
payne cider have been a matter of con-
troversy since the discovery of that bev-
erage. 1t has been claimed in Raleigh
of late that the cider with the fancy
name had all the cheering effect of the
liquid extract of rye, corn and hops. So
it was decided that test case should
be arranged, in order that the knowledge
of experts might finally settle the ques-
ton.
Accordingly Harvie Mangum disposed of
several pints of the cider and was ar
rested by Constable Upchurch for viola
ton of section IL of the Revenue law,
which prohibits the sale of any beverage
partaking of the Intoxicating of vinous,
malt or spirituous liquors.
DR.. Rowland, Mr.. VIM. Simpson, the
pharmacist; DR.. Kilgo, the State chemist,
and Mr.. Pool, a government official gave
expert testimony. The State chemist re-
ported that the cider contained I'll per
cent of alcohol Mr.. Pool, the Govern
ment expert was unable to find the pres
ence of alcohol One witness said he pur-
chased two pints of cider at five cents
each and did not feel the affect One
witness declared that he and a compan-
ion drank three quarts and were not at
fected. Constable Upchurch expressed
the opinion that gallon of cider would
not intoxicate.
The evidence was reviewed before Judge
Douglas last night, and as practically all
of it was to the effect that champagne
cider is not intoxicating he dismissed the
defendant. The State was represented
by Attorney General Gilmer and Mr.. Will
Jones at the hearing last night, while
Col. It. NJ Argo and Mr.. J. N. Holding,
appeared for the defendant.
