May Have To Crate Him to Bring
To Trial.

A peculiar case now stands open
on the docket in the recorders
court, in fact it has been standing
open for the past several weeks
and Recorder CabaniSs is undecid-
ed as how to dispose of the case.
Several weeks ago, q young man
living i'll Il dry county. came to
Macon and the thought of his being
in q wet county was evidently too
much for him, as he loaded up on
booze, and then spent the rest OF
the night and part of the next day
in the city barracks The young
mans father, living i'll Macon, was
notified that his son was locked up
and after putting up ten dollars
collateral for his sons appearance
in court the next day, shipped the
bow back to the dry county, where
there was no liquor:
The father has explained to Re
corder Cabancss that he is afraid if
his son comes to Macon for trial,
he will again get drunk be arrcsr-
ed and Tie second case OF drunk
would appear against tn" Young
man. Now the father wants the
city to take the ten dollars up as
collateral, for the fine Oh the first
drunk and let the case drop, but
the court can't see things III this
light.
One of the officers stated that
the best thing for the father to do
would be to go to the dry county,
crate his son and not unpack him
until the court room had been
reached, try him, aud then crate
him up again and ship him back
where there is no lIquor.-Macon

The above may sound like Il joke
but there is great deal Of logic i'll
