LIAR" IN GEORGIA, MEANS
A FIGHT, RULES COURT
Orders Damages Be Awarded
Man Who Heard Epithet

ATLANTA, Ga, March 16.-To call
a man a liar in Georgia is a breach
of the peace and means fight" de-
clares the state court of appeals in a
decision today.
The lower court, which refused dam
ages to w. NJ. Rumsey. who sued w. A..
Bullard for 500 for calling him liar,
is reversed, the opinion by Judge Pow
ell concluding:
Being to the manner born the judge
of this court takes judicial cognizance
of the fact that in Georgia to call a
man liar, even without threatening
him with a weapon. most generally
means a fight. There may be exceptions
to this rule, but they are exotics and
find little nourishment on Georgia soil
and under southern skies"

from precarious plight by two
deputy sheriffs who had been sum-

The arrival of the two peace officers
was the signal for actual mutiny. The
knives were drawn by the Chinese,
who attacked the deputy sheriffs, Kohl
and Clark. The latter drew their re-
volvers and clubs and beat the mutt
nous crew into submission

TrHE supervisors struck a promisins-
ciew to the gas mystery yester-
\ day and dispatched its two
sleuths to follow the trail. The
search for the secret Of the sudden up
ward rush of bills began early in the
afternoon and lasted until night. Pres
ident John A Britton OF the company
blamed the weather. The consumers
blamed the company The city's ex-
perts. A MI Hunt and Prof. c. L. Cory,
ascribed the trouble to the low pres
sure in the outlying districts. At the
conclusion of the session Hunt and
Cory were detailed to investigate all
complaints. to test the gas. to measure
the pressure ard report their findings.
Those who had~anticipated a pitched
battle were disappointed. The atmos-
phere was as serene as at a promotion
committee banquet. There was only
one interruption in the proceedings
and that came from a doubling con-
sumer. who greeted Britton's expIa-
nations with hoarse whispers OF

it's mind and endeavored to collect a
little more.
In reply to all this Britton pro-
duced a map of the weather with long
lines indicating the possible amount OF

Strandwitz solicited aid from Sheriff

METHODIST CHURCH MEMBERS
Carried Yuletide Cheer to Shut-ins and Friendless on Christmas Day.

The members of the Methodist Epis- copal church were especially active this year in dispensing Christmas cheer, and in places and to persons that are forgotten oftentimes in the abounding opportunities for joyous ness that come with the holiday sea- son. All of the classes of the church share in the happiness of bringing a Christmas greeting to less fortunate souls.
 The mems Baraca class visited the town farm, where an impressive serv- ice was held for the 22 inmates, Rev R. S. Cushman officiating. Carols were sung and remembrances distrib- uted. The inmates also enjoyed a chicken dinner through the courtesy of the selectmen. The young ladies' classes visited the old peoples home carrying flowers. The members of the primary class in a vehicle deco rated with the green garlands of the holiday, called upon the shut-ins, and their visits frightened the passing of the great feast day. And. on the oth- CT hand the sacrifices that the mem- bers of the classes made were doubly repaid To many of them it brought the fullest realization of the spirit of Peace on earth; good will to men,"

Here in Putnam there is more snow than has been seen at any one time in the past dozen years. and to blow through it or push it aside has been a heavy task for the traffic lines. But the worst of the work was com pleted Monday night. The tracks arc all clear and the trains running close to schedule time again. There was lit- tie attempt made to move any freight Monday. although little was done in this department.

Frank Dube, aged IS, who has been locked up in the local police station since last Wednesday afternoon as the result of an attempt to set fire to No. mill of the American Thread com pany. was in police court Monday morning, as his case was continued from Saturday pending the report of the finding of a commission appointed at that time by Judge Arnold at the request of Prosecuting Attorney E. Frank Bugbee. The commission was Drs. T. R. Parker and Louis I, Mason.
 Monday morning they reported that the mentality of the youth was such that it was dangerous for him to be at large; that he was not responsible for what he might do, and was not aware of the nature of his act.
 Dube was therefore adjudged not guilty of arson as the result of the re- port. He was then committed to the Norwich hospital for the insane at Brewster's Neck for period of six months. when his condition will again be aseertained.
 Officer Allan McArthur escorted Dube to the hospital on the 1925 p. m. car Monday afternoon.
