the counsel, in addressing the court
He said he did not mean what L
thought he meant. He said he had
been reading ancient literature and had

MYSTERY SURROUNDS
A SHOOTING AFFAIR

G. C. Reiners, a B. & B. Commission
company employe who sustained bull
let wound through his right hung Sun
day afternoon, was unable Monday aft
ernoon to identify Douglas Denault and
Fred Cole, two negroes who were ar
arrested by the police in connection with
the case. Cole was released but Denault
was transferred to the county Jail. No
complaint has as yet been filed against
him.
The shooting of Reiners, who is a pa
tient at Providence hospital, is mys-
terry.
Whether it was attempted suicide,
accidental shooting or attempted muir
der, city detectives are unable to decide.
The man has told several stories and
when interviewed Monday at the hospi-
tai was rather hysterical. He is said
to be heir to a small bequest.
Reiners, when first arrested, said that
a. negro Became enraged, seemingly over
the high cost of living, and shot him.
The immediate cause of the shooting IS
said to have been the quoting by Reiners
of a hen at 35 cents.

Who Are ''Thev."

We all have a way of saying they
say" this or that Of some person, or
some thing and accepting it ourselves
as authentic when someone says they
say" 20 US.
But If we stopped to inquire into the
exact source Of the information, either
we would be unable to trace it back
to anyone other than that elusive in
dividual. They Say" or we will find
back of it the unkind gossip Of some
enemy.
And just because sthey say fails
TO put the blame Of a falsehood on any
one persons shoulders it really is the
most dangerous of statements and one
Of the hardest TO refute.
So let US beware of believing they
say" stories Let US treat lightly all
gossip introduced by the words "tney
say" Or if this gossip makes US sus-
picious of its object-and it is natural
and human that II should at times
let US suspend judgment until we
KNOW. In other words, let us do the
object OF they say" the ! justice to
investigate until we find someone who
is in a position from actual knowl-
edge and whom we can trust, to make
a positive statement over his own
name as to- the truth or falsity Of the
they say" story.
The writer has been led to pen this
little lesson in practical fairness by
reading a little book issued by the
Coca-Cola Company, Of Atlanta, Ga,
entitled ssrne Truth About Coca
Cola" That truly delicious and whole
some beverage has for so long been the
subject of they say" stories in which
all manner of untrue and detrimental
things about Coca-Cola have been cir
cuIated that the manufacturers have
been forced to issue their book giving
authentic information about this bev-
erage. And the information therein
contained does not rest its case on any
they say statements. but bases its ar
guments on analyses and statements OF
chemists and scientists occupying the
highest positions IN America.
This is a most interesting book-a
zine study In dignity in refuting false
hoods-and a book Of information that
all should read. You will find it well
worth your while to write and ask the
Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta Ga, to
send you free copy
