wood Alcohol Stops Freezing.


 This interesting letter, touching upon the usage of wood alcohol dur ing the winter season by autoists, has been sent out by aAleading motor car company:
 i ..As, we have remarked in previous years. wood alcohol in the cooling system is much cheaper than new cylinders You will be interested to know that from our experience and careful iuvestigation we have con- cluded wood alcohol is by far the best ingredient to add to water to produce 8 satisfactory and anti-freezing solu- tion. E
 '.It is recommended if you are goins to use your car this winter and you desire to let it stand out all day or stand in an unheated garage, with ii draining some anti-freezimg solution in your radiator is necessary. Tour parts wood Alcohol to six parts water will protect you to 20 de- grees below zero. Three parts wood alcohol to seven parts water will pros tect you to 10 degrees below zero. ''It fs suggested that after the first Of November it is advisable to take some steps towards getting such an antt-freezing solution in your cooling system.
 .'n you contemplate laying up you1 car for the winter and not using 1t, or if the cold weather arrives before you protect your car, and you desire to drain the water, the following hints are Ea1uable:

The Athens Banner thinks Gov
ernor Slaton's recent position in the
matter of changing the venue from
Jefferson to some other county, when
It looked as II 1t might result in a
lynching to permit three negroes 10 be
tried in Jefferson for a crime commit
ted therein, will go far toward solving
the problem of lynching in Georgia
and in this most of the State news
papers seem to agree.
The Savannah Press fear5, however
that negroes convicted in some other
county than the one in which their
crimes are committed may he lynched
anyway. "Hhen returned for execu-
ton"
This fear Is not substantiated, for
negroes convicted Of crime, under a
change OF venue, may be executed In
the county to which their trials are
Transferred. In other words, the JEFF
terson County negroes, having been
sent to Fulton and convicted here,
under an order changing the venue
OF the trial, will be executed in Fui-
ton, and not in Jefferson.
II Is a fact, nevertheless, that there

In every State where the method Of
executing criminals has been changed
from hanging to electrocution a CEN
trail place of execution has been pro-
vided for, as It would be next to I'M
possible to carry the necessary up
paratus from one county TO another
as It might be needed. Prison author
tiles all agree that It is better to have
all criminals executed in the same
place.
There Is a sentiment in Georgia
too, which inclines to the substitution
OF electrocution of criminals rather
than hanging, and this reform may be

CLUbSBEATEN| IN
HIGH COURT IN
LIQUOR FIGHT
Appeals Body Affirms Conviction
of VaIdosta and WrightsviIIe
Secretaries,

In a record breaking batch Of deci-
sions handed down by the Georgia
Court Of Appeals Tuesday, three n
volvinE the state prohibition law are
Of widespread interest
In the case Of Wright, secretary or
the EIks' Club Of Macon, against the
state. the Judgment holding wright
guilty Of violating Jhe prohibition
law is reversed and the case re-
manded for retrial
The opfnion unreservedly holds the
Macon Elks' Club. IN its methods OF
handling its buffet, guilty of running
a place for the sale Of intoxicants,
but clears Wright Of guilt in con-
neCtion with the same, because ne
was merely the secretary of the club,
and did not participate in the DIS
pensins Of liquors.
The fact that Wright may have
known the law was being violated In
the club and still did not seek TO STOP
it is held not necessarily 10 connect
him with the sales Wright was con-
victed several months ago and fined
$3.50.
Can Not Sell Liquor.
The court says the club has the
specifically licensed right TO keep IL
uuors for the use OF its members,
but not to sell to them.
In the case OF Deal against the
State from Valdosta, the court rules
upon a case somewhat similar to
the Wright case but affirms IT.
Deal was secretary of the Valdosta
Owls, and was also the buffet man
ager.
He was convicted of violating the
prohibition law, under the guise of
running a locker club on the coupon
system. In this case Deal acted as
the agent for the one hundred mem
bers of the owls, and ordered intoxi-
cants for them in big patches. He
also helped run the buffet.
Guilty sc Agent.
The court rules that he is guilty
of violating the prohibition law, and
states that the coupon system used
was in effect a sale. The court states
that there can be no such thing, Ia
any circumstances, as a bona flde sale
of liquor in Georgia.
Wherever a member of a club con-
tributes to a common stock provided
by a common fund, no matter wheth-
er there be profit shown, the agent
of such fund is guilty, and those who
participate in It are held to be gull
ty also.
A locker club license, says the court,
does not carry the right to violate
the prohibition law. The court found
from the evidence that the Valdosta
Owls, in six months, realized from It's
locker club over $4,000.
Lager Beer lntoxioant.
In the case Of Dent against the
State from Wrightsville, the court
aftirms the conviction OF Dent, and
declares specifically that lager"
beer" win be recognized by the
courts OF Georgia as an intoxicant.
Dent was accused OF selling beer
and whisky. The evidence to sus-
tain the charge of selling whisky
was held insufficient, but the con-
victfon was affirmed on the idea that
the evidence az to the sale OF lager
beer was sufficient, and that the
courts would recognize lager beer"
as an intoxicant, within the meaning
the law.
Eighty-one cases were handed
down by the Court of Appeals Tues
day, which breaks the record in that
regard The court is working over
time TO get the docket clear by the
time Judge Pottle retires.
