COVEY OF QUAIL HELD
UNTIL THEY SOBER UP
Thirteen Feed on Condemned Sour
Mash and Are Caught.

ANNAPOLIS, Alas. P. Mable,
who has just returned from trip
to Georgia, tells remarkable story.
He says he was in the country near
Bowdoin when he learned that reven-
ue officers had destroyed an illicit
distillery few days before. Arriv-
ing at the point, he found a number
of quails feeding on the sour mash
the revenue men had thrown out.
Every one of the birds was drunk,
according to Mr.. Mable, and they
were unable toget away. He picked
up thirteen of them, and says he will
keep them until they sober up.

MISS ZULEITA ELLIS TAKES
PART IN ROMANTIC WEDDING
Well Known Here, Having Visited
Relatives Several Times.

Relatives Several lines
After being a sutton to Miss Zulei-
ia Ellis of Brunswick for the past two
years, Roy M. Hutchins of Macon
took advantage of a good opportun-
ity Sunday while the brides mother,
Mrs. G. F. Ellis, was on visit to rel
atives in Macon, and the two were
married Sunday morning at 10
o'clock in Brunswick. The marriage
was a complete surprise to both
friends and relatives Of the bride and
groom.
+ Mrs. Hutchins is former Macon
girl, having gone to Brunswick about
seven months ago, where her father,
G. F. Ellis, is engaged in the auto
mobile business.
Mr.. Hutchins, who is in the show
card business in Macon, has been
making frequent visits to Brunswick
since Miss Ellis left Macon, and Sun
day morning he left for that city to
claim her as his bride. None of his
friends were in on the secret.
The wedding was well planned, as
the bride had secretly ordered clothes
to be made for the occasion in Ma
con. Mr.. and Mrs. Hutchins left i'm
mediately after the ceremony for Sa-
vannah, and will return "Wednesday
to be at home to their friends on
Cherry street in Macon.

SENATOR'S SAY They
WILL fight FOR west
NO COMPROMISE WILL BE AC-
CEPTED FOR FEDERAL JUDGE,
SAYS Mr.. HARDWICK.

WASHINGTON, D. CA state
ment made today by Senator Thomas
w. Hardwick indicates Enthusiastically
that the two Georgia senators are
standing out for the appointment of
John T. West as judge for the South
ern district of Georgia, and that no
compromise candidate is acceptable
to the senators. Senator Hardwick
authorized the following statement:
Are Determined.
MATTERS have assumed such a
shape that the two Georgia senators
are determined there shall be a rec
ignition of their rights before any
confirmation is made"
Senator Hardwick added that
"West is the first and second choice
of the two Georgia senators"
"What if the administration should
decide to make a recess appointment
and put in some other MANI" the
senator was asked.
eff such a thing should occur it
would merely mean that the judge
would serve until the senate meets
again and then he would get out"
Have ''Dander" Up.
Senator Hardwick's words and
manner clearly showed that the
judgeship fight had reached a stage
where the senators have "their dan
der up" and are insistent that the
administration shall name West, the
choice of both Georgia's representa-
tives in the upper body. When Sen
ator Hardwick was asked about the
chances for Congressman Edwards
and other candidates he said he did
not care to be quoted extensively,
but significantly said:
''Mr. West is the choice of the SEN
ators and | expect him to be named"
Must Respect Rights.
Then the senator made the asser-
ton that matters have assumed such
stage that the rights" of the two
senators must be respected
1t is believed here that the contrO-
versy has reached a condition where
the senator's are determined to block
the confirmation of any candidate
except their own.
No word was forthcoming today
from administration circles, and the
president and attorney general still
have before them the names of vari-
Gus candidates, some of whom are be-
ing pressed as clark horses" and
compromises, although it developed
today that the senator's are in no
mood for compromise.

GEORGIA TOWNS GET
FREE MAIL DELIVERY
BlakeIy, Camilla, Pelham, Sylvester

Larger Cities.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress-
man Frank Park has succeeded in
having the postofice department es-
tablish city free mail delivery service
for Blakely, Camilla, Pelham, Sylves-

The five towns are the only re-

which do not now have it.
This service is in no way connected
with the rural free delivery service,
and will give these towns the same
delivery of their mail to residences
that residents of the larger cities en-
joy.
