DOZier Defends
Drastic Course

DAWSON, GA, July 24.-Declarj ring
that his hayward son, Voght Dozier
was infatuated with the woman and
that he had been unable to keep them
apart, even after he had persuaded her
to leave town, w. S. Dozier superior
court clerk Of Terrell county, has is
sued statement in defense of his eff
forts to reclaim his son that resulted
in Essie Carter being unmercifulIv
whipped here Saturday night. He
says:
81 have no excuse to offer for him
(the SOM, and while my judgment may
be erroneous, 1 have no excuse to offer
for my efforts to reclaim him.
The statement goes at length into
the relations between young Dozier and
the Carter woman and recites the ia
theirs effort to break the youths in
fatuation, going so far as to appeal
personally to her.
Although the Dozier family has long
been one of the most highly esteemed
In this section and W. S. Dozier has
many years defeated all aspirants for
clerk of court, the affair has brought
down upon him the censure of many
people for taking seven men along in
the dead hours of the night to chastise
one lone woman with a buggy whip.
They point to the fact that voght Do
zier has for several years been noted
for his recklessness, having been a
party to numerous cases in the courts;
that he is old enough to account for
himself, and that he should at least,
have been given the same punishment,
at the hands of his father, at the time
the woman was logged. The whipping
Of a white woman by a party Of prom
inent citizens is something new here.

OPPOSITION TO HARRIS
OIL INSPECTION BILL
ROUSES SENATOR'S IRE

Senator w. ]. Harris, author of the
bill reducing the fees of state oil in
spectors, is up in arms against the state
ments which have emanated from the
department of agriculture to the effect
that his measure will cripple the inspec-
ton of oil.
The agricultural department and w. c..
Bryant, chief oil inspector, are opposing
the Harris measure and favoring a bill
known as the Bush bill, which retains the
office of chief oil inspector with a salary
of S. 500 year Senator Harris said:
Opponents of my measure say that
it will be responsible for oil accidents in
the future because it will cripple the serv-
ice. How do the present oil inspectors
account for the fact that six or seven
accidents have occurred in Atlanta re
Gently, all traceable to imperfect oil under
the present system, which allows the in
spectors enormous fees?"

AQa of Man.

1t has been known a long time that
N Western Europe man existed in the
glacial epoch. We now know that
the great ice age consisted Of differ
ent glacial times separated by inter-
glacial times. In glacial times the
slow line dropped 5000 or 1000 feet
below its present level in the Alps.
whereas In interglacial periods 1t lay
about one thousand feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher in the interglacial
periods than 1t is now. There is
abundant evidence, in the opinion Of
Penck. that man existed at the begin
ming of the last glacial epoch There
Is some reason for thinking that at
least twenty thousand years have
elapsed since the last glaciation and
that the man whose jawbone was
found in 1909 near Heidelberg lived
two hundred thousand years ago.
