on the vagrancy law stating that
in the opinion of the court it was
one of the most important laws on
the statute books. That number
less crimes were committed by
that class who were known to be
without visible means of support.
His reference to gambling was IL
Illustrative and he said that the
grand jury should remember it's
oath as touching every phase OF
life. That Scrap shooting" should
not be given all the attention but
that on the other hand if the in
telligent class-the ''better ele-
ment" were taught to obey the
law the other class, ''the crap
shooters" and penny gamblers
would have more respect for the
law and less crimes would be the
result.
He laid especial stress upon the
duties of the Jury in their attitude
toward the prohibition law.
Among other things he ssid "that
the majority Of the people of
Georgia wanted a law to prohibit
the sale of intoxicants in the state
and such a law had been passed,

fair trial by the rigid enforcement
of the law" In further comment
ing on this question we quote In
part his charge. ''This prohibit
tion laws is the keynote for build.
ing up the moral tone of a COM
munity. In two generations time,
if we do not let up On this prohl-
bition, we would be a section re-
nowned for morality" He pointed
out that the law did not only say
that liquor should not be sold
within the state but that it was a
misdemeanor for person to give
it away within two miles of a poll
ing place on election day.
That if it were known by proof
positive that a candidate or any
had given away liquor at the re-
cent elections in this county the
parties should be held accountable
and brought before the court.
We regret that we have not the
time or space to give verbatim
this able charge.

GOLFERS BADLY NEEDED
Rear Admiral William S. Cowles
Points Out Serious Defect in
American NAVY.

Washington. Nov. 27.-Had foreign
complications arisen or had a combina-
ton been effected between foreign ship
owners, our feet might have had TO re-
main lying helpless in some foreign port
is the observation made by Rear Ad-
miral William S. Cowles, chief of the
equipment bureau of the navy, in his
annual report in discussing the lack Of
Golfers necessary to supply the battle
ship fleet with coal on its cruise around
the world.
The total number of American vessels
that might have been obtained by pur-
chase or otherwise would not have been
capable of carrying a sufficient amount
of coal TO supply the feet on its voyage,
and ii was necessary to charter foreign
vessels for this purpose. He recon-
mends that Immediately steps be taken
10 supply an adequate number of coll
liers for the navy.
Admiral Cowles' report says that DUR
ing the past year marked progress has
been made in wireless biography. Re-
cent developments warrant the estab-
hshment of high-powered. long-distance
stations Besides the erection of such
station at Washington in the near
future, the bureau contemplates even
tually the construction of such stations
on the Pacific coast, at Hawaii. Guam.
Samoa and the Philippine Islands. so
that the fleet will at all times be i'm di-
rect communication with Washington
wherever II may be.
