Volume 113 of the Georgia reports
will not be issued on October 18th as
had been expected. Owing to the large
number of Supreme court decisions

been found that the work of putting
the decisions in type cannot be COM
pleted until the latter part of Novem-
Der. The new book will be one of the
largest ever issued and will contain
over 1, 400 pages, not including the in

RUDE, BUT CONVINCING.
what Raw But Ii Worked
Upon the Jury.

Burnham's Leading in Law" gives
an amusing account of the trial of
case wherein a doctor sued to recover
his fee. The case was tried in Georgia
many years ago. Robert Toombs APP
peared for the plaintiff and Alexander
H. Stephens for the defendant. When
the evidence had closed Mr.. Stephens
told his client. the defendant, that the
plaintiff had made out his case, and,
as there was TO offset, it was useless to
proceed further, and the best thing the
defendant could do was to pay the doc
tors claim. The defendant, who was
named Peter Bennett, scorned this adj
vice and Indignantly replied that he
had hired Mr.. Stephens to speak for
him, and he must say something. Mr..
Stephens answered that there was
nothing to say; that if Peter thought
he could say anything he might ad-
dress the jury himself, whereupon Pc
ter delivered himself as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, you and me is
plain farmers, and if we don't stick to-
gether these ere lawyers and doctors
will jis skin and bury us. This ere doc
tor was a new doctor and / went fur
him to come and doctor my wife's sore
leg. He come and he put some salve
truck 10 it and some rags. but never
done it a bit err good. don't believe he
is no doctor nohow. There is doctors
as is doctors, but this ere man don't
yearn his money. and if you send fur
him as Miss Sal Atkins did fur niger
boy as was with $1,000, he jis kills him
and wants pay for it!'
Il DON'T" Numbered the doctor.
Did yer cure that nigger?" asked
Peter. The doctor was silent and Peter
proceeded:
las was sayin', gintilmin, we farm
ers, when we sells our cotton. has got
ter Civ vally for the money we asks,
and doctors amt none too good to be
put to the same rule. And | don't be-
Iieve this ere man is no doctor nohow."
Look at my diploma if you think
I'm no DOCTOR" again interposed the
plaintiff.
His 'di-piplo-mu.' Gintilmin, that's
big word fur printed sheepslIin. It
don't make no doctor NV the sheep as
fust wore it, nor NV the man whut now
totes it. e. Ask his patients if he's a

Where is Miss Beaseley's man Sam?
Miss Peaks woman Sarah was tend
ed by him and her funeral was APP
p'inted and he had the corpse ready.
Where is that likely Bill, as belonged to
Mr.. Mitchell? Where is that baby gal
of Harry Stevens? She has gene
whur doctors cease from troublin' and
the infants is at rest.
'Gintilmin, he has ct chicken enough
at my house to pay fur his salve, and
l furnished the rags, and l don't s'pose
he charged fur maxim her wuss."
The defendant proceeded along this
line at some length, and, despite Mr..
Ioomb's logical statement of the case
in reply, Peter Bennett won.

CIGARETTES AND SITUATIONS.
General Movement Throughout the
Country Against Employing Those
Addicted to Their Use.

That cigarettes are deadly poisonous
is an absolute scientific fact. A ply
stefan made solution of all the nico-
tine from one cigarette; one-half of
it was injected into a full-grown frog,
from the effects of which the frog
died almost instantly; the other half
was used upon another frog with the
same result. The poison of the ciga-
rette is as deadly to the human being
as to the frog. but slower in its work.
Diseases resulting from its use are
well known to physicians. The same
physician who experimental upon the
frogs says that instead of the fancy
pictures which accompany cigarette
packages. each ought to bear skull
and crossbones and be marked deadly
poison" the same as other poisonous
drugs.
Since Chief Moore issued his order
a number of Chicago business houses
have pursued the same course. The
board of education does not permit
cigarette smoking in its office; Mont
gomery Ward & Co. will not employ
boys addicted to the use of cigarettes;
bimonthly lectures on the evils of Gig
arctic smoking are provided by Mar
shall Field 81 Co., for the benefit of
their employees; the Chicago, Burling
ton & Quincy Railroad company has
notified it's employees that they must
abandon cigarettes or forfeit their po-
sitions; several establishments have
opened their doors to lecturers con-
nected with the Anti-Cigarette league
The United States supreme court has
declared the Chicago anti-cigarette
law valid. Arkansas has an anti-cig-
arctic bill which makes the sale or
giving away of cigarettes to any per-
son under any circumstances a misde-
meanor, punishable by fine. That the
civil service commission of New York
city purposes to rid itself of several
hundred juvenile cigarette fiends," and
substitute ''office girls" is another
straw that shows which way the wind
blows.
The Anti-Cigarette league, with
headquarters in the Woman's Temple,
Chicago, is vigorously waging war
against the cigarette. 1t is after the
boys, and to further its work pub
fishes a bright little paper entitled
The Boy. School teachers are loud in
their denunciations of the cigarette;
their positions enable them to observe
its effect and they have noted its vi
ciousness. Men are assisting the
league in its work and have secured
from boys under their care pledges
that they will not smoke cigarettes
before they are of age. Antagonism
to the cigarette is constantly increas-
ing in force, and it is to be hoped
that the earth will not have passed
many milestones in the new century
before the deadly coffin nail" is rele-
gated to obscurity.-Young People.

A FOOD OR A POISON?
Alcohol Cannot Play n Double Role
Tears Down But Does Not
Build Up Tissue.

Kassowitz maintains that it is not so
much a question as to whether alcohol
per Sc is toxic or nutritive. for it can
hardly be denied that it is an active
poison capable of causing the death
of any animal OF vegetable protoplasm
with which it comes in contact. but
rather as to whether in spite of these
injurious properties it can still be of
value to the organism and serve to
sustain it. \ food stuff to be classed
as such must not only be capable of
supplying the organism with energy to
be dissipated as heat and in the per-
Torrance of work, but must also I'M
der proper conditions enter into the
bodily structure and replace tissue
that has become worn out. Recent in
vestigation has shown clearly enough
that alcohol is easily and abundantly
oXidizable in the human body, but the
mere proof that substance is con-
sumed in this way does not entitle it to
rank as a food, and still less can this
supposition be entertained if in addition
it at the same time causes decomposi-
ton and destruction of living proto-
plasm. That alcohol does this is not
to be doubted in view of the present
knowledge of metabolic processes. and
this granted, it is evident that a sub
stance capable of destroying body it's
sue cannot also at the same time serve
to build it up and replace damaged
parts. Therefore the position that al
cohol may play the double role of food
and poison is untenable. and the soon
er it is dropped from the list of drugs
for internal administration the better
it will be for physician and patient
