PROHIBITION LAW
WORRIES SHERIFF
DIRECTS HIM TO PUBLISH REV
ENUE LICENSE OWNERS, BUT
FAILS TO PROVIDE MEANS.

The new prohibition law which went
into effect May 1st directs each sher-
iff to publish the names of all people
holding revenue licenses from the
federal government. The law says
that the names must be published be-
tween the first and tenth of each
month.
Sheriff Turner with a view to COM
plying with this law wrote Attorney
General Clifford Walker and he di-
rected the sheriff to write the inter
nal revenue department at Macon,
and was by them directed to write
to Internal Revenue Collector A. o..
Blalock, and from him the sheriff re-
ceived the following letter:
Replying to your inquiry l beg
to advise under the regulations | cam
not furnish you the information re-
quested in your letter.
"The collector of internal revenue
can furnish a certified transcript Of
the record to a prosecuting attorney
upon payment of a fee in each case.
However, record ten, which contains
this information, is open to the in
spectiOn of the public and you may
examine the same or have one of
your friends to do so and obtain the
information desired. If you wish to
employ some one here to secure this
list | would suggest that you commu-
nicate with Miss M. c. Childress,
1917 Fourth National Bank building,
who desires this kind of work"
Sheriff Turner saws that the law
only allows him $25 for securing and
publishing this information, which is
not sufficient, and that as he only
needs the names of those who might
take out license since May LIST, he
would await the meeting of the su-
perior court and see what the grand
jury and Solicitor Castellow says
about it. That he had done all he
could do until he gets further in
structions.

HEAD OF DEAD TURTLE
BIT OFF LADY'S FINGER
MRS. CORBIN VICTIM OF PECUL-
lar ACCIDENT. HEAD HAD
BEEN AMPUTATED.

Mrs. Talmadge Corbin, who lives
in Doverel, eight miles south of Daw-
son, was the victim of a peculiar and
unusual accident few days ago.
Mr.. Corbin and party of fisher
men captured large water turtle
and carried it to Mr.. Corbin's home.
The head of the turtle was amputat-
ed and thrown in the back yard.
About fifteen minutes afterward Mrs.
Corbin, who was curious to know
whether or not turtle had teeth,
picked up the decapitated head to
prize the mouth open to make an in
vestigation, when suddenly the jaws
snapped together, catching a finger
of one of Mrs. Corbin's hands, en-
tirely severing the finger and left it
dangling by a small part of the flesh.
DR.. Thomas was summoned to the
aid of the injured lady, and he
found the bone so badly crushed that
it was necessary to amputate the
finger at the first joint. 1t is ex-
planned that a reaction of the dead
turtles muscles caused its jaws to
snap.

Mr.. J. D. Weaver, one of Terrell

ers, harvested his crop of alfalfa hay

seasons crop was on exhibition IN

II tons of pretty hay, which is worth
$25 ton, and he will get at least
two more cuttings this year. Alfalfa
hay is growing in favor with Terrell
county farmers not only as money
crop but as food for the farm ami
mails and live stock, and the acreage
in this crop will increase as the farm
ers become more familiar with Its
possibilities.
