With the advent offine weather
such as we have been ENJOYING in
Winslow during the past two
weeks the baseball boys are be-
ginning to again take some In
terest in life and may be seen any
day now batting mp flies, play
ing catch and in other ways
limbering up for the playing sea-
son. Within another month the
baseball park will be the center
of attraction and all good fans
should arouse themselves and
take an early interest in the pro-

Saloon Held Up

up about midnight Wednesday
and the till robbed of quite a
sum of money, said to be about
$3.50. The work was done by
one man, but it is Thought
that a confederate was on the
outside to give warning should
anyone approach.
Shortly after midnight, while
the night bartender, was lean
ing at one end of the bar, a
masked man entered the back
door with a drawn revolver call
ing on the inmates to throw up
their hands; the four or FIVE loun-
gers together with the bartender,
promptly obeying the command.
The rObber proceeded to pocket
the contents of the cash register
after which he ordered the bar
tender to give him a bottle OF
whiskey, which was promptly
provided. Making his way to
the rear of the building he at
tempted to escape by the back
door. Meanwhile those stand
ing around the stove were hurry
ing out by the front entrance and
the bartender reached for the
gun, firing two shots at the re-
treating burglar, one of which it
is thought took effect, while the
other lodged IN the back door
The rObber fired two shots in re-
turn putting a bullltt through
the bar, another in the floor, and
then making his escape, firing
several shots in the air after he
had gotten outside, presumably
to ward off possible followers.
Marshall Bledsoe was prompt
lv notified, but at this writing
no arrests have been made. A

Hi Henrv's Minstrels were the
attraction at the Opera House
on Saturday evening last, and
to say that the show was good
would be but expressing it mild
lv. The show was one of the
best ever given in Winslow. The
house was packed long before the
curtain went up on the first part
and by the time things were un-
der way the IS. r O." sign was
working overtime. Pat Craw-
ford's song "Pve Got to See de
Minstrel Show" made the hit of
the evening, it being the one song
that properly expressed the SEN
timent of WinsloW at that time.
Crawford, together with George
Foster, were the premier cOmed1-
ans of the troupe and are a show
by themselves. They are sup
ported by an excellent company
each of whom are capable to do
their own part as was shown by
the many well rendered songs
and other acts given.

SAYS SNAKES MAY Be TIPSY
DECLARES REPTILES GET INTOX-
ICATED, BUT IT'S ALWAYS
ON A DUTCH TREAT"

NEW YORK.-AIthough it has
long been common to accuse a man
suffering from chronic intoxication
of seeing snakes it remained for
scientists yesterday to accuse the
snakes of inebriety. The theory was
discussed at meeting of the Ophi-
illogical society held at No. 2043
Washington avenue, Bronx, the home
of Raymond L. Ditmars, curator of
reptiles in the New York Geological
Park. Mr.. Ditmars has been making
a special study along these lines
with live and dead snakes for sub
Jects. After the meeting he said:
Scientists allege that many cap
tive snakes die of intoxication. 1t
is my belief that intoxication in both
man and snakes is due to excess
nerve vibration, and that owing to
the trend of evolution both man and
the serpent need greater nerve slim
illus. Here comes in the startling
theory that the serpent is provided
with vibration accumulators, while
man has to resort to drink.
Hence it is explained that the
snakes organization is superior to
that of man-despite the human view
of the snake as the most lowly of
living creatures. The use of the
large pit between the eye and the
nostril of the crotaline snakes, such
as rattlesnakes, moccasins, lance
mead and like species, has been a
mystery to scientists, though the
nerve leading from this pit into the
brain is as large as that of the optic
nerve.
The explanation of the stupefied
actions of vipers in captivity, which
are the snakes most specialized and
possessing the most deliberately de-
veloped pits, is that they are liter
ally intoxicated to the point of stu
pldlty by the unusual sounds about
their captive quarters. Hence we see
the soil result of a form of intoxica-
ton among snakes.
This theory about the apparent
necessity of stimulating the nerve
vibrations of a highly specialized
creature like the snake brings us sig
n1tlcantly close to the drinking evil
with man or an animal leading a
wholly unnatural life.
Man turns to intoxicants of his
own making to awaken nerve energy
that is running down, condition
brought about by changes in evolu-
ton that threaten to destroy him,
while the lowly serpent is apparently
ahead of him in being gifted by ma
ture with organs for obtaining the
necessary stimulus in free and I'M
limited quantities. g."

Mackerel Yearly Going Farther From
the Atlantic Coast. Some
thing About Them.

In response to an appeal recently
made by the fishermen of New Eng
land Uncle Sam is fitting out an ex-
petition in Gloucester, Mass, which
will attempt to solve the mystery of
the rapidly disappearing mackerel
along the eastern coast.
This novel expedition in the Gram
pus will be in charge of Captain Jerry
Cook, an expert mackerel catcher.
It's chief aim will be to find the new
route or routes of this elusive fish
in its annual journeys from southern
waters to the north. In the last
quarter century the courses traversed
by the mackerel have tended more
and more offshore until in the last
five years the New England mackerel
fishing fleet has been greatly de-
pleted because of inability to trace
the fish.
Captain Benjamin F. McGray of
the schooner OriOle, one of Boston S
old-time seiners, says:
IF the Grampus fails to find the
unknown course the mackerel now
take in going north and south we
probably shall have to go without
our mackerel soon. These fish, COM
ing from where no one knows, US
ually appear in April off Hatteras
making their way north to Labrador
Shipments of catches are made early
at Hampton Roads and New York.
AS the fish proceed nOrthward the
fleet keep in pursuit as far as Cape
North, reaching Massachusetts, bay
about July and afterward crossing
to the Nova Scotia coast and going
around into the gulf of st. Lawrence,
where the fish are taken by seins
and with hand lines as late as No
vember.
To-day a hundred barrels of fish
are regarded as a good catch, while
in the earlier days of the industry
300 barrels were considered about
fair"

AFOOT TO THE STATE HOUSE
NO BLARE OF BUGLE, CLEAN OF
GUN AND APEING OF ROY.
Atty FOR LITTLE JOE.

Governor Joe Brown, who has been
interviewed by an Atlanta newspa-
per, has made a further statement as
to his plans for the Inauguration.
He says:
L have seen no reason to change
the course l have clearly outlined to
you. On the contrary, 1 have been
in fifteen Georgia cities and towns
since your publication of that plan,
and 1 find practically unanimous APP
prevail of it. l also note that the
press of the state, almost without ex-
ceptiOn, commends it.
Hence l expect to come from
Marietta to Atlanta on the train or
the trolley car in the forenoon of
the inauguration day, just as | US
ually do. If have any business mat
ters on hand l will attend to them.
II 1T be not raining shortly before
the time set for the Inauguration l
will walk up to the capitol, just as
did one or two thousand times
while | was railroad commissioner,
and | will place myself at the service
of the general assembly to be induct-
led into Office as chief executive of
the people.
Il do not need any brass bands,
because the voice of the people of
Georgia on October 7th was fuller
of emphasis than could be the notes
of all brass bands. do not need
any military escort, because the con-
idence of the people Of Georgia is
greater protection than could be all
the bayonets glittering in Atlanta.
And besides, | have held in mind
the fact that in practically every mil
itary company which might be pres
ent on this occasion is considera-
BILE percentage of members who voted
against me in the primary June 4th.
Quite probably large proportion of
these troops at heart prefer not to
be in the procession. | am unwill-
ing, therefore, to wound their feel
ings by cOnsenting for their officers
to force them to come.
while | will be glad for all citi-
zens to be present who so desire,
also wish no one to be on hand who
does not come voluntarily. My chief
concern lies not in the qualification
of any love for personal display or
the advancement of personal ambi-
ton, but in aiding to restore to our
people the power to prosper. l have
spent my life among the people of
Georgia, hence am at home when on
a level with them, whereas l would
feel quite out of my element in ape
ing royalty. And the blare of bu-
giles, the tinsel of epaulets, the CLEAN
of guns, the shouts of command and
the coach and four come perilously
close to apeing it. Let the inaugu-
ration be the type of peaceful sim
plicity, and good will, the essential
.of peoples happiness, will the more
easily follow and abide with us.

funds of the bank in his possession
for safe keeping.
Now he is on a strike, and the
ofhclals of the institution are COM
PEELED to buy vault. No one else
is willing to assume the task.
Summers was hired when a condi-
ton demanded action. The bank
was organized and a secondhand safe
was bought. The first days deposits
were large, and at night the money
was laid away in the strong box.
The president tried to lock the vault
door and couldn't. Something had
to be done, and so Summers was
hired to go to Jail with $4,000. He
was escorted to the Jail by the bank
president, who personally turned the
key in the cell door and left the
clerk inside to sleep on a pillow of
bank notes. In the morning the
prisoner with the money was re-
leased.
All went well until Summers was
invited to take dinner with the fam
lily of the girl he is going to marry.
The bank president was willing to
wait up, but the sheriff wouldn't.
Summers quit without further notice,
and that night the president, his
pockets stuffed with bills, sat up in
Jail himself. The next day he or
dered a real vault.
