GAME LAW VIOLATORS
WILL Be PUNISHED TO
The FULLEST EXTENT
Movement to Stop Out Of the Sea-
son Hunting Started By the
County Game Warden.

Growing out of a continued dis
obedience to State game laws on the
part of many in Cobb county of late,
a movement has been started by
County Game Warden A. NJ. Hicks
ana others, to curb such utter disre-
gard to law and order and bring all
vlolators to the bar Of justice.
Hicks has secured worthy assist
ance in this work and it is stated that
vigilance would not be relaxed until
law and order in this regard was
maintained.
The promiscuous shooting of SOUR
rels out of season is one of the game
laws that great many sportsmen are
violating at this time. The Journal
was requested to give space to the
following warning issued by Mr..
Hicks:
at has been reported that
there are some people I'M the
county that are violating the
game law. Those who have been
shooting squirrels, etc. out of
season may expect to answer
for the offense.
II am asking the cooperation
Of all law abiding men, and es-
pecially sportsmen, to lend me
their efforts IN seeing that the
law is carried out.

County Game Warden"

Goes To Assume Duties AS Pro
fessor of History At Tech High
In Atlanta, at a Much Higher
Salary.

The Smyrna schools are without a
principal this week owing to the re-
signation last Monday morning of
Principal B. F. Whitney, who goes
to Tech High in Atlanta as teacher of
history, which was the position held
by Prof. Hugh Moore prior to his as
Stunning his duties as county. school
superintendent the first of this year
A number of APPLICANTS to take the
place of Prof. Whitney are being con-
sidered and it is believed that the va
cancy will be supplied within a few
days. In the meantime County Su-
perintendent Moore is assuming the
duties of principal in connection with
his regular duties, which, of course,
is throwing a rather heavy burden
temporarily upon his shoulders.
Ii is with regret that the people of
Smyrna give up the very valuable
services of Prof Whitney. He has
brought the schools Of Smyrna up to
perhaps the second largest and most
efficient in the county during the sew
eral years that he has been head of
the schools.
No blame or censufe is attached to
the actions of Prof. Whitney, coming
as they did in the middle of the open
ing month of school, as he was offered
a much higher salary than the people
Of Smyrna could afford to pay. In
stead their best wishes go with him
in his new work.

RUNS AMUCK IN POST
OAK DISTRICT. MAKES
BOND FOR 3 CHARGES
Cole Handy Released on 5000
Bond At Hearing Before Justice
Grier Tuesday.

Collie Handy, a resident of Post
Oak district, against whom three
criminal charges have been lodged
was released from custody on bonds
in the sum of 5000 after prelimi-
nary hearing before Justice Greer in
the court house Tuesday morning.
The three counts are: Shooting at an
other, assault and attempt to rape,
and being drunk on the public high
way
1t is alleged that Handy, while
under the influence of intoxicants,
secured a shot gun and run amuck in
that community until he was sup
pressed by force.
He is charged with criminal assault
on woman for which he made bond
in the sum of $500; for shooting
point blank at a Mr. Switzerland, one
of his neighbors, bond 5000, and for
being drunk ON the public highway,
also 5000 bond.
The shot taken at Mr.. Switzerland,
however, went wild and he succeeded
in getting under cover before serious
damage was done.
The community was very much
stirred up over the affair Monday
night and Tuesday, as Handy had al
ways been considered as a respectable
citizen and neighbor. For this rea-
son it is very apparent that his ac-
tions on Monday night were un-
doubleday due to heavy intoxication.
