DISCRETION, BETTER PART
OF VALOR IN THIS CASE

MILLEDGEVILE, Oct. "A story
reached officers of this city yesterday
than two internal revenue officers
from Macon with two deputies from
Milledgeville, had been held up while
hunting for "moonshine still" eight
miles from this city yesterday after
noon, relieved of their guns and or
dered to leave the district and never
return again. They left, the story
goes, without any delays
According to the story that reached
this city the internal revenue officers
were E. c. Pierce and Tobe Moye. and
the deputies from Baldwin county
who are said to have accompanied
them, are named Crawford and
Thompson.
The hold up is said to have occur
red near the property of w. B. Rem
froe, eight miles east of this city.
The two men suddenly appeared,
just as if they had popped out Of d box
with guns leveled at the heads of the
officers. They were close to the Of
ficers and evidently had been ex-
pecting their visit to the neighbor-
hood.

A NEW LAW WILL
Be NEEDED NOW
1T SEEMS THAT JOY RIDERS WHO
USE AUTOS ARE VIOLATING
NO STATE LAW.

If you take a mans horse( his mule
or his OK, use 1t awhile and then take
it back, you are violating a state law,
but from a case tried yesterday in
Judge Courvoiser's court, it seems
that there is no law on the statute
books making it a crime Of any kind
to take an automobile, use it and
then return 1t where you first got it.
Four negroes were up yesterday on
the charge Of joy riding in the car of
the Brunswick Coca Cola BottEng
Company. last Saturday night One
CT the men, Toby Peterson who works
at the plant, took all tho blame for
the taking Of the car and was bound
over by the court under a two hun
dred dollar bond, which he failed to
give and is new in the Glyna county
Jail to be tried, probably Monday, az
the court meets on that day for the
regular October session. The point
was brought out at the trail that there
was nc law against taking automobiles
as the law is nearly forty years Old
covering the unlawful use of animals
and .the motor car was unknown i'll
| those days.
II was shown that Anderson do not
intend to steal the car and, while
! he did not return it to the exact
! place, he took it in the neighb mood
on the same street and there left 1t.

MIXTURE WITH
The DELEGATES
AND OF COURSE 1T COMES FROM
THE SAME OLD TENTH
DISTRICT.

ATLANTA, Oct. 3.--A Ferat deal of
comment and speculation are going
the rounds in local political circles
concerning the why's and wherefores
of the change in the personnel of the
members of the new Democratic sta .
cXecutiv. committee from the Tenth
District
AT the state convention held in
Macon last week the del elngates from
the countirI |,nrr:siuG the TeNth
district he ! =: ,'*UC,ts il the usual
way and agreed n;uu ne nominatilh
of four rIj;,'.. 'r..':' tie district 10,
the four places ON the state executive
committee. These nominations were
transmitted tc the convention in the
usual way and were confirmed. just as
the nominations of other COngression
al district caucuses were agreed up
on, transmitted to the convention and
confirmed.
The four nominees of the Tenth dis
trict caucus were John r. Allen of
Baldwin county, Alvin Golucks of Ia
" NpuhtNs w 4h. Np''t w ih' Vi
Washington county, and W. II. Shaw
of Richmond county. These nominees
were confirmed and they were pub
lished in the list of the members of
the new state executive committee.
A few days later however il was
announced by the secretary of the
state executive committee that there
had been a mistake in the names OF
the committeeman from the Tenth
district, and that the four citizens
who would represent the district on
the committee were as follows: Thorn
as Baldwin of Glascock county. A. G.
Evans of Warren county, Alvin Go
lucke, Cff Taliaferro county and Dur
ham Watson, of McDuffie county.
A majority of the counties in the
Tenth district went for gubernatorial
candidates other than Hugh NJ. Dor
sey, and consequently majority or
the convention delegates from the
Tenth district comprising the Tenth
caucus. were "other than" Dorsey
delegates which naturally resulted in
the selection of four state executive
cimmittee nominees who were 'other
than" Dorsey followers. with the pos
sible exception of Alvin Golucke, OF
Taliaferro county. In this connection
il is pointed out that Durham watson,
the substituted committeeman from
McDuffie county, is "A son of Thomas

LONDON, Oct 3.-Roumanian's
stoke against the central powers in
throwing a force across the Danube
into Bulgaria is the outstanding feat
ure in the current war news. Should
this army prove to be of formidable
size it will constitute a serious men
ace to Field Marshal Won Mackensen's
retirement from the present front
south of the Constantza-Tcherna
Railway. He already is being sub
jected to heavy pressure along this
line by the Russians and Roumanians,
presumably in connection with the
thanking operation.
In Macedonia, where the allies are
pressing offensive movements presum-
ably to prevent reinforcements being
sent by the central powers from one
field of activity to another, the tide
of battle is fluctuating on both wings.
The Servians appear 10 have gained
the upper hand in the hilly Kaimak-
calan region. Sofia admits Bulga-
rian retirement there, and the French
official report announces a new ad-
vance by the Servians. who have cap
tured first line trenches and taken an
other iBulgarian battery.
On fhe Somme front period of de-
termined counter-attacks by the Ger
mans appear to have set in. They
