A BIG MISTAKE
DISCOvEREO|N
STOVALL BILL
1t Would LegaIize the Sale of
All IntOxicants in
Georgia
SOFT DRINKS ARE BARRED
You Could Sell Any Strong
Drink in the State, But Iced
Tea, Coffee, Milk, ETC., Would
All Be Prohibited.
SOFT DRINKS ARE BARRED

ATLANTA, November 6.-Instead
Of prohibiting any drink, liquor or
beverage containing one-half of one
per cent, of alcohol or more" as it's
supporters intended, the Stovall prohi-
bition bill, which passed the senate
yesterday, prohibits "any drink, IL
quor or beverage containing not more
than ne-half of one per cent of
alcohol"
The terrifying discovery was made
this morning by one of the senate
enrolling clerks, and when the news
reached the prohibitiOnists they i'm
mediately called caucus for tonight
to devise ways and means of cor
recting the mistake.
What they can do and probably will
do is to reconsider the bill when the
senate meets Monday, and rearrange
the language of line eleven, section
one, so as to carry out their desire
and plan "in re" the promotion of
the evils Of intemperance Senator
Dewitt c. Pickett of tha Eleventh
district is the hu'lty pay. When
the StOvall bill! wa, on its passage
| in the senate yesterday morning the
senator introduced an amendment
changing the language in the manner
above stated The senator is a pro-
hibitiOnist and a supporter of the Sto-
vail bill, so naturally his amendment
| aroused no suspicion among them
! They accepted it without a question
| adopted it, and made it part of the
bill
Now comes the before mentioned
reading clerk with the disclosure that
| the senator's amendment legalizes
the sale of any drink containing more
than one-half of one per cent of al.
| cohol. In other words, the more alco,
hol a drink contains the more legal
| it is, while the less &.conol it contains
| the more illegal it is. Under such a
law it would be unlawful to manufac-
ture, sell, offer for sale, keep on
hand, give away, etc, such things as
| tea, water, milk coffee chocolate milk
and various sundry soft drinks that
are so popular with soda fountain
| topers.
Among the list of soft drinks out
| lawed by such a law would be
| "Chero-Cola," which is manufactured
! by no less a prohibitionist than Sen
ator Pickett himself OF course the
prohibitionists do not believe the
senator intended to play such havoc
with the Stovall bill. He is not here
to defend himself having hurried
away to spend the weekend at home,
and in his absence they have charit
ably formulated an explanation fol
him which is that he must have had
his eye on line II, section l, of some
other prohibition bi when he wrote
| his amendment. Inasmuch as the
desks of members are Uttered with
the prohibition bills of all kinds, this
seems reasonable.

MACHINE SHOPS
Of YARYAN PLANT
TO START MONDAY
LOCAL PEOPLE ENCOURAGED
BY JUMP OF ROSlN YES
TERDAY TO ALMOST FIVE
DOLLARS PER BARREL.

With rosin quoted at $495 yester-
day for + grade, and with the an
nouncement that the machine shop
of the Yaryan plant will open tomor-
row morning, as was stated in The
News few weeks ago, the outlook
for the operation of the full plant on
January first is brighter than il has
been since She big factory closed
months ago.
Local officials of the company
were greatly pleased yesterday when
they received information that class
f rosin was quoted at $4.95 per bar
rel, the highest it has reached in
many months. This price, too, is in
line with the statement made by j.
5. Bradley, the moving spirit of the
company, in an interview with The
News a short time ago, in which he
predicted that rosin would reach $5
per barrel in a short time and that
that price should maintain for some
time. At the time Mr.. Bradley made
this prediction rosn had just started
barrel. He said that he realized that
the market was wild just then, and he
expected ups and downs, but when
| it finally settled he expected to see
the price be around the five-dollar
mark.
Mr.. Bradley and G. e. Kinney, of the
chemical engineering firm of Ken.
ney &c Lunn, of New York, will ar
rive in the city tomorrow morning
| Mr.. Bradley coming in connection
with number of matters, while Mr.
Kinney will be here for week or
two making chemical experiments at
the plant.
1t is understood that quite a mum.
Der of men will be given employment
| in the machine shop when it opens
| for work tomorrow, and this force
will be steadily added to. The large
woods forces are being organized as
rapidly as possible, and everything
| possible is being made to have ev
erything in readiness to resume tho
plant on full time January first.

SERIOUS
CUTTING
AFFRAY
JOHN M. TISON Is SERIOUS
LY STABBED BY WILL SKIP
PER IN A FIGHT WHICH OC-
CURED LAST NIGHT.

AS the result of a cutting affray
last night about o'clock, John NJ
Tison, a well known young man, is re-
ported to be in a serious condition.
while Will Skipper, who did the stab
bing, is being held at the city jail
pending the result of the injuries.
The fight between the two men
started in Abbott's saloon, on Grant
street, and ended on the sidewalk
in front of the saloon, where the cut
ting took place. There were a half
dozen different reports as to what
started the row between the two men.
One report was that after the fight
started both men pulled knives and
made for each other, but this was dis
puted by number who claimed to
have seen the fight
1t seems that the two men were in
the saloon together and had been
wrestling. Some words were ex-
changed between them and they start
ed the fight, going out of the saloon
to the sidewalk, where, it is alleged
Skipper pulled a knife and started
cutting at random. Two or three
ugly gashes were inflicted, the most
serious being just above the heart
This cash was said to be two or three
inches long and an inch or more deep
Another painful cash was inflicted
on the leg, while Tison received one
or two other stabs.
The injured man was carried tc
the office of DR.. H. M. Branham
where he received medical attention
but at late hour last night the seri
BUSINESS of his injuries had not beer
determined. 1t was feared that the
stab above the heart would prove g
most serious wound.
Skipper was Immediately placed un
der arrest and will be. held in the
city Jail pending developments.

United States Marshal J. A. Davis,
of Albany, was among the visitors
to the city yesterday. 1t was his
first visit to Brunswick since he has
occupied that position and in fact,
the first he has made in many years
and he was very agreeably surprised
at the improvements Brunswick has
made since his last visit.
He came down in his motor boat
from Savannah and was headed for
Blackboard island, where he went to
levy on a lot of cattle owned by w
A. Brinson, lessee of the property. 1t
seems that the United States govern
ment rents this property to Mr. Brin.
son and that he has failed to pay
the rentals for some time and the
government has instituted to recover
$780, due it from that source. Mar.
shal Davis levied on all the stock
on the island owned by Brinson and
the property will be sold in Darien
on the first Tuesday in December.
Mr.. Davis has many warm friends
in Brunswick and he was cordially
greeted by them yesterday. He will

Mrs. Lula Cary Is Indicted
Both Senators to Have
Bill Passed
CLAIMED POISON WAS USED
After an Investigation True Bill
Was Returned and the Woman
Was Placed in JaiI-Hus-
bands Death Was Peculiar.

Mrs. Lula Cary, a pretty and at
tractiVe young woman, about 2S years
of age, was placed in the Camden
county Jail at So. Marys Friday aft
ernOon on the charge )f murder, fol
lowing an indictment returned against
her by the grand ju. :. which hal be en-
investigating the case for day or
two.
Mrs. Cary is charged with the mur-
der of her husband, whose dcGth near
Kingsland three or -four months ago
caused considerable .all; owing to he
fact that he died under most pe-
culiar circumstances, and it was free
ly predicted at the time that his wife
had administered poison.
SO strong was this belief that cor
oner's jury investigated the case for
day or two, and finally the wife was
arrested and George Roddeuberry, Of
Charlton county, was held as IN ac-
complice. Later. however, both of
these parties were released on habeas
corpus proceedings before the ordin-
airy of Camden county.
However, the case was not dropped,
but the investigation was continued.
The body of Cary was exhumed and
the stomach was sent to the state
chemist in Atlanta to be examined,
and when the state official reported
that the stomach was found to contain
a large percentage of arsenic, a suf-
ficient amount of which would cause
instant death, the case was revised,
with the result that it was taken up
by the grand jury dur ing the past
week, and a true bill was returned
against Mrs. Cary, charging her with
the murder of her husband
| 1t is alleged that the motive of
the crime was simply to get rid of
1 her husband. as the woman was said
to be infatuated with another man.
The death of Cary caused consider
able talk in Camden and the case is
now well known from one end Of the
county to the other.
| 1t is understood that S. G.. Town
send of st. Mary's representing the
woman, will present a petition to
Judge Highsmith asking that the wo-
man be permitted to give bail. The
petition will be opposed by the state
The woman will likely be tried at the
next session of Camden superior
court.
