Perhaps Not.

An instructor in a church school
where much attention was paid to
sacred history, dwelt particularly on
the phrase, And Enoch was not, for
God took him." So many times was
this repeated in connection with the
death Of Enoch that he thought even
the dullest pupil would answer cor
rectly when asked in examination:
State in the exact language of the
Bible what is said of EnOch's death
But this was the answer he got:
"Enoch was not what God took him
for" "-Brooklyn Life.

The destruction of insect eating
birds should not be overlook by those
attempting to explain the increase
cost of living.
Government statistics show that
our agriculture has suffered to the
extent of billions of dollars through
the ravages Of insects.
The annual loss has increased
steadily until it has reached a fig I
ure which the human mind csnnot
grasp.
In the cotton belt of the South

with such rapidity as to become a
plague, took as it's toll in one year
more than $25,000,000 worth of
product upon which every man,
woman and child IS dependent.
And in this same section is per-
mitted the wholesale destruction OF
birds, seventy-five per cent Of
whose food is the crop-destr0ying
insect! We shall pay for this lossx
sustained largely through folly aid
ignorance, when we buy our clothes.

All Ducks Included
In Laws Protection

Upon request of Jesse E. Mercer,
state game and fish commissioner,
Thomas S. Fielder, attorney general,
has prepared a written opinin con-
STRUNG the game law passed by the
legislature in 1911, in reference to
the protection of ducks. Mr.. MERGERS
request for information was particu-
larry as to whether the law applied
to kinds of ducks other than those
especially mentioned in the act.
General Fielder says that in his
opinion it is violation of the law
to kill ducks of any kind, except
only from December 1 to January 1.

In Regard To Shooting
Migratory Ducks

Atlanta, Nov. 21-lt looks as II 1t
will take the whole hunting season
and the rest of the year to boot TO
show just exactly what the new
game law does allow and what it
don't allow.
Number of complications arise
every time the law is put into oper-
alton with regard to certain OF its
provisions.
Many hunters announce that they
have decided to 90 right ahead kill
ing migratory ducks, with the idea
that in spite Attorney General Eel
der's opinion, the law does not really
prohibit shooting them. Attorney
General Felder's decision was on
the theory that the migratory ducks
by implication were regarded as non
game birds under the Georgia law,
and could not be shot because they
are not included in the list of the
non-game birds, hawks, owls, etc,
which can be shot.
The hunters, and among them
are many LAYERS, contend that the
courts must take coSnizance of the
fact that migratory duck is a
game bird, and that Attorney Gen
eral Folders opinion would be up
held in test case. They are the
more willing to try a fall with him
in view Of the fact that no earthly
good could be derived from protect
ing migratory ducks, and that the
individual members Of the leGisla-
ture say they never had any inter
ton Of protecting them.
Another interesting development
is the opinion Of the court of az
peals, just rendered, that the state
law knocks out all the county
laws. Several counties including
Early, Douglas, PauIding etc, have
had their own game laws up tc
this time.

and a commissioner Of commerce
and labor General Fielder holds
that within five days after Cover
nor Slaton issues the call Tor the

a match for that of famous knights Of

Miller claims that he was on his
way home over dark lane on the
night of Jan. 18th; when Day held
him UP and attempted to rob him. He
knocked down his assailant, he says,
and, thinking that he had killed him,
went to the nearest farmhouse and
told what had happened.
Day was not dead, however, and af-
ter reviving, went before York al
derman and had Miller arrested for
assault and battery.
Miller has had Day arrested for at
tempted highway robbery, and both
are at liberty under bail awaiting
trial

Supreme Court May be Asked to De-
tern1ine the Meaning
of This.

WASHINGTON, d. G. Feb What
is the meaning of the phrase go to
h-?" The supreme court of the Unit
ed States may be called upon to hand
down an opinion on it.
The point was raised in the con-
tempt case brought against Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, John Mitchell,
vice president and Frank Morrison,
secretary. One of the bits of evidence
produced to show, if possible, that
Mr.. Gompers had violated the injunc-
tion against boycotting the Bucks
Stove and Range company, was an al
legged written statement made by
him dealing with injunctions and boy
colts and concluding, it is said, with
the phrase "go to h" Il asked Mr..
Gompers what he meant by that"
Mr.. Davenport, one of the counsel,
told the supreme court when the case
was being argued. He said he did
not mean what / thought he meant.
He said he had been reading ancient
literature and he had often run across
the phrase go to h But / might
have told him that had never seen
in Shakespeare or the Bible the word
spelled with an H and dash"
The court laughed and Mr.. Daven-
port passed on to another point.
