TO EMPLOY DETECTIVE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AFTER
LICENSELESS AUTOMOBILES.
Will Appoint Special Officer to Study
Motor Vehicle Law and Prose-
cute All the Xiolatnrs.

cute All the Violators.
At the March meeting of the coun-
ty commissioners a resolution was
adopted authorizing the employment
of special officer whose duty it will
be to study the requirements of the
automobile license law and to see
that its provisions are enforced. 1t
was claimed by the commissioners
that there have been many violations
of the law for the purpose of evading
the license tax.
The commissioners say that they
are determined the law shall be
enforced in Terrell county, and that
they will instruct this special officer,
whose identity will be known to no
one except the commissioners, to
swear out warrants against all VIC
lators, who will be vigorously prose-
cuted.
The failure to procure and promi-
nently display on all motor driven
vehicles a number and license tag is
punishable as misdemeanor, which
covers a fine of not more than one
thousand dollars or Imprisonment of
not more than one year, or both in
the discretion of the court, and driv-
ers of automobiles and motorcycles
had best take warning and pay for
a number and tag at once. The
commissioners say they mean bust
lates the law.

USED GASOLINE FOR FROsTBITE
But Negro Forgot About 1t Until He
Stuck His Feet to the Fire.

Chappell Drayton, a negro about
town, created considerable excitement
Thursday, when he tried pouring gas
oline on his feet for frostbite, because
after he had thoroughly saturated
his shoes with the fluid he unthought-
eddy stuck his feet to the fire to warm
them up, evidently forgetting about
the infiammable remedy, when sud-
denly both feet broke into blaze
and Chappell broke for the streets
yelling at the top of his voice and
creating as much excitement as fire
alarm. The shoes were finally extin-
guished after the Negroes feet were
considerably warmed up, and he is
now disguised with his remedy for
frostbite.
