Sale Of Near-beer
Illegal Says Maddox
Supreme Court Has Held That Article Is a Malt
liquor.

and not one of these three. AS
to this contention the supreme
court says:
'The law under which the accus-
ed was indicted makes penal the
unlicensed sale of spirituous, vim
GUS or malt liquors. Under this
act the offense is committed by
one who sells either spirituous Ii
quors, vinous liquors or malt IL
quors or any two of such liquors
or all three of them. The in
dictment in the present case charg-
ed the sale of spirituous, vinous
and malt liquors. Under this in
dictment it was not necessary to
prove that all of these liquors
were sold by the accused, but
merely to prove the sale of any one.
The plaintiff in error commended
that the words "spirituous, vim
Gus and malt" are used in the in
dictment as adjective and descrip-
tive terms and not as substantive
terms, and that it was therefore
necessary to prove them as laid.
In this we cannot agree" etc.
SUPREME COURT ON THE CASE.
'The supreme court further says
in this case:
Complaint is made that the court
charged that the state did not
have to prove that the liquors sold
were Intoxicating, and that it
made no difference whether the H.
quors were intoxicating or not.
This we think was not error. The
statute made penal the unlicensed
sale of malt liquors, and otfense
would be established if the state
proved such sale. We cannot see
what relevancy the Intoxicating
qualities of the liquors could have
save in determining whether Or not
they were matt liquors, and as to
this the court charged the jury to
consider the evidence as to wheth-
er they were malt liquors.
The statute under which the &C
cused was indicted was designed
to prevent an unlicensed (unlaw-
full sale of spirituous and vinous
liquors and of all malt liquors,
whether intoxicating or not. Even
if all malt liquors are, as matter of
fact, Intoxicating, the state need
not show the Intoxicating qualities
of the liquors sold if it can show
in other ways that such liquors
were malt liquors.
cit therefore follows that the
sale Of neer- beer, Bud, Cooks
beer, Miller beer, Milwaukee brew
lager beer, ale, porter or any other
beer, whether it intoxicates or
not, if it is a malt liquor, the sale
is illegal The court of appeals
has made no decision contrary to
this court. [ have been asked if
it was unlawful to make domestic
wine for ones own use. This is a
difficult question to answer If
the domestic wine is intoxicating
it is unlawful to make it, accord
ing to the letter of the act. My
own opinion is the spirit of the
act will not be violated where one
in good faith makes a small quaint
ity of domestic wine strictly for
domestic use at home.

SOLICITOR General =. L. NIduuOAj
of the Cherokee circuit, has issued
statement on the sale of near
beer in which he claims that it's
sale is contrary to the Georgia pro
hibition law, in view Of recent de-
cisions of the supreme court.
Solicitor Maddox says:
II have been asked by the rep
sentative of The Constitution and
repeatedly by others if it was un'
lawful to sell near beer in the state
of Georgia. I have advised that it
was if ear-beer was a malt liquor.
The supreme court has so decided
-Eaves v. The State, lib Ga, page
749.
Gin this it is decided that the
unlicensed (unlawfuD sale of malt
liquors, whether such liquors
we're Intoxicating or not, is illegal.
The old law, criminal code Sec
ton 433, which the Eaves case
ccnstrues, makes penal the I'M
licensed (unlawfuD sale of spiritu
Gus, vinuous or malt liquors. The
prohibition act, acts Of 1907, page
81, prohibits the sale of alcoholic
spirituous, malt or Intoxicating

''The words, or other drinks
which, if drunk to excess, will pro

the sale of such liquors is prohib-
tied. Fermcntcd or hard cider,

etc., is an Illustration. Clearly the
last class Of liquors mentioned
in the act have no reference to or
connection with the liquors refer
ed to by name in the other part
of the act. The prohibition act
declares it to be unlawful to sell

ENGLISH SPARROW CLUB.
Its Mission Is to Rid the Country Of
the Pest.

In Essex, England, the Elsenham
Sparrow club flourishes. 1t holds a
meeting and dinner one a year, at
which time the members give an ac-
count Of their efforts toward keeping
down the sparrow pest. It's president,
Walter Gilbey, describes its work as
follows:
"All the farmers and most of those
who have gardens in the parish.
which covers 1880 acres, and some
tenants of neighboriug farms belong
to the club, which was established
seventeen years ago. The rules are
very simple: Each member under
takes to kill n sparrow for each
acre Of his holding between Septem-
Der l and May l, and sends the heads
to the local innkeeper, who keeps a
record Of them. If the members tally
falls short Of the total he ought to
send he is fined Id. for each head
lacking, the money going to a fund
which is spent in refreshments at the
annual supper of the club held at the
inn. The sum raised by fines, how
ever, is, | am informed, practically
nil.
1.-TWO sparrows an acre were killed
annually during the first two or three
years Of the clubs existence, and the
| average number Of heads now sent
in is about 5000 a year. In addition
the members kill a large number of
| young sparrows during the breeding
| season, but of these no record is
kept"

who had so long repulsed him, but
who now lifted up his voice with no
apparent purpose other than that of
inviting Tom Satan's companionship.
He even made his way with a series
of little purring coy to the rivers
to walk to Jonas. But at the touch
of the water he withdrew the dripping
member, shook it vigorously, backed
away and stood for a moment irreso-
lutte. Then, as though seized by a sud
den inspiration, he sprang into the
tree from which hung the tantalizing
grapevine, and, with the cautious
tread of a rope-walker, clawed his
way out over the dead bough, stopping
every now and then-as the branch
bent beneath his weight-to give a
~reassuring meow
the feat of reaching Jonas via the
dead branch and the grapevine feas-
ible, and the end desirable. But what
might have been the outcome Of these
maneuvers will remain forever uncer-
tain, for midway In his journey the
snapped, and Tom Satan, clutching at
the nearest sound branch, was left
hanging by his fore paws in mid air.
From this p~recarious position the fe-
line acrobat recovered himself by dint
Of frantic gymnastics, and scrambling
into a coign of safety in a fork Of the
tree branch, proceeded, after the in
consequent manner Of his kind, to
make a vigorous toilet.
But ~ Jonas that moment Of Tom
Satan's peril was the moment Of his
W restoration. For with the break
ing Of the limb a long whitney arm
of the grapevine had been loosened
and fell straight into the hands Of the
despairing man below.
AS to the nerve-taxing, muscle
straining efforts by which Jonas at
last wrenched himself free from the
grip of the q%uicksand, and the mingled
rejoicings and lamentations Of Elmin-
ia Minerva over her lovers plight,
that is an outline that all lovers of the
heroic and romantic can fill in to suit
themselves.
But this much is a matter of his
tory: That the family mansion Of
seven rooms vas built on a knoll
shaded by Norwegian pines, decorated
with ~variegated flower beds. and over
looking a half section of 800 fertile
acres, also that 1t became the peaceful
home of Jonas, Elminta Minerva. and
of Tom Satan. For to his feline pre-
server Jonas. veering to the other ex-
treme Of feeling, attributed such cour-
ageous and benignant qualities that
the regenerated Tom Satan lived out
his days in the odor of sanctity. and
