: -@o' 5.'',''9.', '''' n.' sfMoN CASE +
Goeaf attorneys Differ as to Their
atopfni6r, Of the Law-some Holding
that 'rnose Who Sell Near-Beer Do
"aN6t Violate Any Law 6r... :.

'5rD6es any person selling near beer
on St. Simon violate any law upon the
statute books of the state Of Georgia?
That, is the question which is battling
number of attorneys in Brunswick
and which may have to go to- the
states highest court before it is de-
cided
The very interesting question grows
out of the arrest of Manager Higgins
of the Bellevue, hotel. for selling bser.
A warrant was swor out against Mr.
Higgins Monday by Solicitor Dart of
the city court, charging him with sell
ms near-beer without a license, still
the laws of Georgia. prevent him from
securing a license if he so desired.
There is no provision in the Georgia
law whereby he can secure a license
to sell near-beer on the island.
The sale of intoxicating liquors is
prohibited anywhere in Georgia, by
special statute on st. Simon, and the
supreme court has ruled that the beer
which is now being sold over the
state does not contain enough alcohol
as to be called intoxicating liquors,
and that it complies with the provis
ion of the states prohibition law.
Therefore, the question arises: How
can a man on ST. Simon secure a IL
cense to sell near-beer when there
is no provision allowing him such
privilege and ESPECIALLY when the
court of appeals has held that near
beer is not intoxicating? One lead
ing Brunswick attorney, in discussing
the situation with a News reporter
yesterday, said that the question was
one which was puzzling many attor-
neys. "As to my personal conception
of the law" he said, "a man who sells
near-beer on st. Simon is not violat-
ing a law any moI than the man who
sells a cup of eoffee.--+fe--dees not
have to secure a license to sell cof-
fee, to sell cold drinks, or to engage
in any other business, it is not a
violation of the state law to sell near
beer, therefore why is he guilty Of
violating any law?' ..
A number of attorneys looked into
the law on the subject during the day,
but none of them could agree on the
subject. 1t was pointed out by one
of the citys leading attorneys that
should Mr.. Higgins be arraigned on a
charge of violating the law by sell
ing near beer without a license that
he could answer that he could not
purchase a license, therefore he had
not violated any state law. j.
The question is an interesting and
puzzlng one and It is probable that
a case may be carried to the Supreme
court in order to get ruling on the
question.

Two or three @ofA the. very few
newspapers in the Eleventh congress

Judge IT. A. Parker for congressman
are up against it in their belabored
attempts to explain away the speech
the Judge made in the last campaign.
denouncing Judge Dick Russell for
holding on the judgeship of the
court of appeals while a candidate
for governor. The Quitman Adver-
tiser devoted over a column last
week in it's explanation that failed
utterly to explain away the fact
that judge Parker did make the par
ticular speech in question, and now
comes the Clinch County News, pub
lished at bonneville, where the
aforesaid particular speech was
made, and not only reiterates the
charge, but also makes some very
3ertinent remarks thereto as fol-
lows:
Judge Parker mas evidently for
gotten his speech in the courthouse
here last fall in which ne bitterly
denounced Dick Russell for holding
one office while running for another
Several of the newspapers in this
section have been commenting on that
speech lately, some denying it and
others uphOlding it as a fact. Never
! theless it is the truth. 1t was made
/ Of o1,
county voters who still remember the
statements of the judge in denounc-
ing Dick Russell. There is no com
mon law against holding office and
running for another, but there are
scores and hundreds of good truth
ful democrats who believe that a
Judge, or anyone else, should be con-
servative in his statements and 'prac-
tee what he breaches. Chnch county
will give Walker a handsome majority
for congressman"
To the foregoing a little more
may proftably be added Aside
rom the fact that many people think
Judge Parker ought to resign.
which to us is rather immaterial,
and seconding the thought of the
! Clinch County News, ought at least
to be consistent, the venerable judge
| is confronted with another dilemma
which in thought is anything but
| Pleasant. To use in substance his
own expressed views, not attempting
here to quote him literally, but sub
stantially he, is reported to have
said that he would not resign the
judgeship because many people want
-2ct him off the bench and will
therefore vote for him for congress.
Also, that were he to resign as
dge, these same people would vote
against him and defeat him for con-
