LICENSE CoMMTTTEE

this resolution asking Governor Hole
smith to call an extra session of the
Legislature to amend the law:
Whereas il is our opinion that after
the first day OF January next neither
the minister nor deacons of the church
can make. buy or use sacramental wine
In Georgia without violating the laws
Of the State we earnestly invoke his
Excellency the Governor for a ruling
on the letter Of the law. and II our
view is wholly or in part correct we
pray the Governor to call an extraor-
binary session and have the law so ar
ranged before the first day Of Janu-
airy next that Christians may worship
God according to the dictation OF their
own conscience without violating the
law OF the State"
During the debate on the prohibition
bill it was pointed out that its terms
made no provision for the sacrament.
Supporters of the measure were asked
to make some provision, but did not do
so. One of the leaders of the prohibit
tion movement suggested that the Ques-
tion Of wine be left TO the ingenuity
of the deacons. This was as far as
the discussion went.--New York sun

HAsITuAL DRUNKARps.
English Physician Says Inebriety is Due
to Defect in Mental Mechanism.
From the London Morning Post

From the London Morning Post.
After twenty-five years study OF
the inebriate DR.. r. Welsh Branthwaite,
the inspector under the inebriates act,
has come to the conclusion-so he in
formed the Society for the study of
lnebriety i'm his Norman Kerr memo
rial lecture last night-that inebriety
Is due to inherent defect in mental
mechanism. generally congenital. some
times more or less acquired.
Alcohol he said, "far from being
the chief cause of chronic alcoholism,
is merely the medium which brings
into prominence certain defects which
might otherwise have remained hidden
but for Its exposing or developing M
auence. 1t seems 10 me exceedingly
doubtful whether habitual inehriety Is
ever really acquired in the strictest
sense Of the word that Is, in the alb
lsence OF some measure of prccAisung
defect. IN other words. / am skeptical

liability OF any normally constituted in

lvention of nerve shock or other inilu-

mechanism"
or the 2,277 admissions to State and
lcertified inebriate reformatories pre-
lvious to December of last year So per
Icent were proved. he said, to be either
insane or defective in varying degree,
and only a little over 81 per cent. could
be described as of average mental ca
lpacity" In regard to the insane ine-
lbriates. the lecturer was satisfied that
1.-THE majority had become alcoholic be-
cause Of their tendency to insanity not
insane as the result Of alcoholism, and
that the preceding drunkenness was
merely precursory evidence Of ap-
lproaching mental disorder. Those clas-
sified as mentally defective showed GER
tain physical signs Of arrested or dis
torted development. such as abnorm-
lally small or misshapen heads, irregu-
larity in the upper or lower Jaw. and
deeply placed eyes. Such cases always
lgave evidence Of impaired development
iof moral sense imperfect control over
impulse. and defect in power OF judg-
ment Even in regard to those classi-
fed as Of average mental capacity Il
lcould not be said that they were COM
posed of entirely reformable individ-
uals; everything depended upon the de-
lgree OF mental defect.
Dealing with the control and treat
ment of alcohol, the lecturer held that
"the influences which incite or streng-
then moral resolution are useful only

An Old Resident Losses Reason.

VIM. Gleason, highly respected
citizen of Ansley, left his home on
foot last Friday morning, travelling
westward. He reached Berwyn Fri
day night and spent the night in the
open air near that place, came on to
Broken Bow and stopped at the Globe
hotel Saturday night and on Sunday
bought a ticket for Dunning, express
ing desire to see Mike Franey, who
was an old neighbor of his. On
reaching Dunning he started in the
direction OF Franey's ranch, south of
Dunning, but turned up the Dismal
river and travelled in a westerly direc-
ton for 35 miles where he went into a
pasture on Blacks ranch.
Soon after Gleason disappeared from
home his wife and son-in law tele-
phoned to Sheriff Richardson and the
latter went to Dunning Monday morn.
ing. Mr.. Richardson enlisted Mike
Frankey and the two followed the I'm
fortunate man by occasionally finding
his track in the sand.
They found him in clump of BUSH
es on Blacks ranch, but for awhile he
refused to come out, expressing fear
that he would be mobbed but when
assured that Sheriff Richardson and
Mike Franey were there, he came out
saying that he had no fear as long as
| thew were with him
The sheriff brought Gleason down
yesterday and this morning turn
ed him over to S. c. Bruner, his son,
in.law, who took him back to his
home at Apsley.

THE LENGTH OF ETERNITY.
This Man Had His Own and Peculiar
Ideas on the Subject.

Mrs. G. w. McCulloch, of Chicago,
on taking up her new office of justice
of the peace, told Chicago reporter
that in the performance of marriage
ceremonies she proposed to omit the
word obey" I'm these enlightened
days" said Mrs. McCulloch, "the word
obey has lost its meaning in the mar
riage contract. The best wife does
not propose to obey her husband,
any more than the best husband pro-
poses to obey his wife. Obedience Is
for dogs, horses-creatures without
reason. So l think that we should
drop this meaningless word. For 1t Is
meaningless. AS meaningless as a
certain other word was to a certain
boorish husband. The husband had
been particularly nasty one rainy Sun
day at home, and his wife finally be-
gan to cry. Eight years ago. she
sobbed, you swore eternal love, and
now Oh growled the man, how
long do you expect eternal love to last,
any way?"

Wit.

A witty man is a dramatic perform

exist without applause than he can
exist without air; If his audience be
small, or If they are inattentive, or If
a new wit defrauds him of any por-
ton Of his admiration, 1t is all over
with him-he sickens and is extin-

sential to him that he must obtain
it at the expense Of decency, friend

To begin with, she was easily the
prettiest girl at Lake Wahconset inn.
Then, again, she was Mrs. Bakers
niece, and Jimmy Marshall had known
Mrs. Baker since he was a little boy,
for she and his mother were old
friends. SO it became the natural
thing for him to row with her and
dance with her ana take her on long
drives in his touring car; not that he
particularly admired her, he assured
himself but he liked to row and dance
and motor, and she was company. Be
sides, she was a nice enough little
thing, and it was less trouble to ask
her than to hunt up another GIRL then.
too, it probably pleased Mrs. Baker to
have him pay her niece some little at
tention.
So, considering that all girls bored
him and he had no inclination to pay
serious attentions to any of them, it is
not to be wondered at that he was first
amused, then annoyed, when Mrs. Ba-
ker, who was a simple. lovable soul,

as being In love with her is concerned

He glanced at Mrs. Bakers plump,
troubled features. whatever put such

''No, suppose not-that is, as young
people act nowadays. And of course l
don't mean to meddle-but couldn't
help thinking
Don't think any more" he said
gayly, "for such an idea has never EN-
tered my head-nor Priscilla's either"
''No, l suppose not" returned Mrs.
Baker doubtfully. There was per-
picked frown on her usually placid
face. He glanced at her sharply. Was
1t possible that Priscilla attached more
Importance to their friendship than he
did? That was the worst of they
