Tigers Always
Thinking Up a
Scheme to Run

ATLANTA, Ca, July 20.-According
to the Atlanta police, blind tigers here
are always thinking up schemes for
Hiding out their liquor, and the police
and detectives are always catching
them and hauling them and their IL
quor to the station house.
The blind tigers will probably make
up their minds after a while, say the
police and detectives, that it's no use
to try to get ahead Of the sleuths, and
when they reach that decision Atlanta
vii be an absolutely dry town, fol
about the only liquor in the corporate
limits consists of the small quantities
carrie here and there by the boat
leggers and tigers who manage to exc
out a precarious and none too -four
isbing existence on the few pints
which they can peddle before the %.
Ice can catch them.
Conceaiing liquor in large hollow
feEce posts is the latest of the clever
schemes to be uncovered and blown UP
by the detectives who discovered the
plant before the ingenious blind tiger
had time to make a single sale.
All in all, the blind tigers are hav-
ing hard time. The police and de-
tectives are, perhaps, more on the
alert for violators of the prohibition
laws than has ever been known in At
lanta. 1--WE are going to set an ex-
ample to the rest of the state in en-
forcing the prohibition laws" said one
of the bluecoats today. Some people
who may think we are going to be-
lax will find out better if they vio-
late the prohibition laws in the least

ATLANTA, Ga, July 2O.--Is it any

Representative Conner, of SpaldinS
county, was speaking yesterday in the
house Of representatives against the

AS a self-appointed censor, you Re.

production at the Opera House last
night which then. today.-this after
noon, is being discussed pro and cor.
The elite of Americas society is dis
cussing all of its phases in its vafie-
gated hues. The man about town has
had his say-and the final decision
comes to each individual person. The
picture is all right-if you think it So.

self and no other If you say that pic
ture was indecent and pay it other
tributes-then that's what you think.
And vice versa,
Personally, were not in the moving
picture business, but our business is
to tell you about the picture. We
would rather have you see it--for if
we attempted to put in print this az
ternoon the things which the picture
told in the screen, tar and feather
would be plentiful around the T.-R,
office. So, moving picture and a
newspaper have two different eli
makes.
So, after all, the motive must have
to do largely with the result. The
one great question is-how do you
think morals should be portrayed? The
picture played great lesson. Like
wise, the murderer who forfeits his
life on the gallows gives lesson. But
who would be a murderer to portray
a lesson for mankind?
Frankly, we went to see the picture
out of curiosity. We are no worse or
no better by having seen it. We know
and the average person knows-that
those things are true. But, somehow,
somewhere, born in the life of the ev-
ery-day person is desire to feast on
things questionable.
Damaged Goods" should make
Americas think-that is, the picture it
self. For each day the film grinds oyt
pictures and the great question is
where will you call halt? If the pic
ture last night is all right, then will
the next one be the same?
Those who saw the picture have
formed their opinion. Those who did
rot see it already know the lesson it
taught.
But, separating the chaff from the
wheat in the moving picture world is
where you must act.
Damaged Goods" is the product of
a demand from people who see it.

Hockersmith Home Burned

The home of j. W. Hooker
smih at the Rice Creek ferry on
Salmon river was completely de-
stroyed by fire on Friday after
noon of last week together with
most of its contents and the
owner was severely burned about
the hands and arms while trying
to save articles from the burning
building. The origin of the fire
is unknown but it probably
started from defective stove
pipe or chimney. When the
flames were discovered the upper
part of the house was all ablaze
and it was impossible to saveqbut
a few articles. The family was
taken to the John Bentley home
and cared for and on Saturday a
nice sum of money was raised
here to assist Mr.. Hockersmith
in rebuilding his home.

ALBERT JESS
BADLY BURNED
Gasoline Can ExpIodes and
Covers Young Man With
Burning Liquid --- Clothing
Fell From Body.

What may result in a fatal ac-
cident occurred at the Lee John
son farm southeast of Green
creek Tuesday morning when AL
bert Jess was so severely burned
by a gasoline explosion that his
life hangs by a thread and but
very small hopes are had for his
recovery. The young man had
been helping thaw out a frozen
water pipe to the gasoline en-
gine before starting the feed
chopper and thought the fire they
had been using had gone out.
He picked up a can partly filled
with gasoline and started to pour
some onto the embers, when a
hidden spark lighted the gasoline
which caused the can to explode
and the burning liquid was
thrown all over him and in an in
stant the young man was a mass
of flames from head to foot.
Fear and pain caused him to lose
his presence of mind and he ran
from the engine out to the road
and back around the house, Fl.
nally casting himself into the
water trough where the flames
were extinguished. DR.. Stock
ton was summoned from Grange
vile and made a record drive to
the scene of the accident and did
everything in his power to ease
the suffering of the victim, but
the burns received are so serious
that slight hopes are had for his
recovery. Practically all of the
clothing was burned from the
young mans body and the burns
about the abdomen are said to be
very serious.
At last reports the young man
was holding his own and, being
very strong and having lived e
clean, out door life he may even
tuaIly recover but it will take
months for his wounds to heal
and his recovery will be little
short of a miracle.
However, while there is life
there is hope, and the many
friends of the injured man are
praying that he may be spared
to live out his allotted time among
US.

come. However, this large
amount of money is not doing US
the most good piled up idle in
the banks. Let it be put to work
building up new industries and
improving conditions in town
and on the farms. Money is
worth only what it can bring us
in the way of better conditions
for ourselves and those around
US. 1t is a willing slave but a
grinding master. Let it be put
to work building better roads, es-
tablishing small industries that
will result in payrolls for oul
town, improving conditions that
will make life more pleasant on
the farm, and instead of this
wealth diminishing it will in
crease a hundred fold by reason
of such employment.
