THOMAS E. WATSON

In the death OF Thomas F. Watson Georgia
has lost her greatest man and the nation its
greatest Statesman and the People their truest
friend. Words are inadequate to express the
loss to the cause of progress Watson, the
fearless tribune Of the people, glorious in life
will outshine all of his contemporaries in the
history of the nation written when the present
day differences are forgotten and the aims and
results of his great life reviewed by the histor
ians of the future.
To his friends in Georgia the praises by the
entire press OF the state much of which was
antagonisric to him in life will be welcome
and may serve as balm to their sorrow
For thirty-two years Our friend labored un
ccasinglv for the advancement of the common
people and though many have been the dssap
pintments he never wavered from the path that
he chose these many years ago.
We are proud to have been honored with his
friendship for the past quarter of century or
more and though there have been occasions
where we could not follow where he led our
paths would finally meet again and the rela
tons begun, where circumstances forced them
apart.
A great soul has gone into the unknown.

Soon after Daniel made this declaration fellow

On his wheel Whitman laid load of apple tree
roots With them he planted out there what have
grown to be the greatest apple orchards in the
world

Ga. Supreme Court
Must Decide On
Dog Muzzling
international News Service.


ATLANTA, Ca, July 27.--
On which end must a dog be
muzzled?
Georgia courts will be called
on to decide this question.
When the State legislature
passed a law requiring all dogs
running at large to be muzzled
the legislators failed to desig-
nate that the muzzle should be
placed on the nose.
The trouble arose when an
unsuspecting and unmuzzled
canine belonging to J. N.
O'Neil ran afoul Of the city
dog catcher. When the dog
catcher attempted to seize the
dog O'Neil interfered with him,
he claims, and refused to let
him take the animal.
The next act showed O'Neil
being summoned to appear in
police court to answer a charge
Of disorderly conduct preferred
against him by the dog catcher.
O'Neil says he isn't guilty
because the dog catcher had no
right to seize the dog anyway.
The law, he says, is unconstitu-
tional because 1t fails to specify
which end shall be muzzled,
and he is going to let the su-
preme court of the State de-
eide it.

27.-Dr. Lemuel Deal, eighty
one years old, of 2206 North

sight restored by a night in a
Turkish bath. The doctor was
asleep when it happened.
Recently the doctor, who is a

to such an extent that he could
only distinguish between night
and day. He became obsessed
with the idea that If he had a
good nights rest in a Turkish
bath it might help him.
Accordingly he visited To-
cal bath and went to sleep,
leaving instructions, that he be
awakened six hours later.
He is now able to see per-
fectly. A group of reputable
doctors have examined DIR. Deal
and are nonplussed at the res
toration of his sight after all
medical. skill had failed.
