five months the bright young faces
and voices of tie girls and boys who
go to complete their years work in
the various institutions Of the state
is mitigated by a feeling of pride to
be so well represented:
Miss Sara Carmichael returns this

No Trace Is Found
OF Strangers Who
Tricked Griffin Banks
BY CONDO

GRIFFIN, Ga, Jan. 5.--No trace
has yet been found Of the three
strangers who secured $1,000 from
three local banks Tuesday by a
clever forged check scheme. The
men spent Monday night in hotel
here and were encountered Tuesday
morning at the office Of E. S. Nc
Dowell by J. F. Hill as lie was de-
livering morning papers. Their be-
ing in the office so early excited his
suspicious and he reported their
presence to the police, who arrested
the men, but released them when
they said that they wished to rent or
bu ysome property.
Later the strangers broke into Mr..
McDowell's office, got some signed
checks and his protectograph and
made out a check to each for $3.50,
tracing Mr.. McDowell's signature so
well that neither was questioned as
the checks were placed on deposit at
the three banks, each man with
drawing $3.50 in needed" cash. The
swindle was not discovered until
about IL o'clock, when the check;
were turned into Mr.. McDowell's
bank, overdrawing his account. This
caused him to be notified, and he
discovered the theft in his office.

City Manager Form
! OF Government Big
Success in Triton

Triton, Ca, Jan. s. ifton's
first year under the commission
form of government and city man
ager, ended Monday night. The re-
suit has been highly satisfactory
The city has paid off $4,000 indeht'
edness, spent Sits for betterments
and in the face Of a slump in prop
erty returns reduced the tax rate
5 per cent, and announces a reduc-
ton of Is to rs per cent in water
rates for the new year.
It starts into 1922 with every out
standing bill paid including the sal
aries of employees. During the year.
near $4,000 of unreturned property
was brought to book and thirteen in
surance companies which had been
doing business in the city without
paying the license tax were collected
from. The city manager announced
that Triton would pay as it goes
for 1922 and almost took his hear
ers' breath when he asked that his
salary for next year be reduced
5000. w. T. Hargrett came to Tiff
ton last year for salary of $4,000,
$400 less than he was receiving as
general manager Of the Live Oak,
Perry & Gulf railroad, but he says
it is worth $500 a year to live in
Triton.
It is not that Triton was formerly
misgoverned or extravagantly gov.
erned, that city manager has been
able to make such a good showing.
The difference lies in having one
man vested with absolute authority
and sole responsibility. If he is a
good man the plan works-but much
depends on the man.

intersection Of Sixth avenue and
Orange street here Monday after

driven by Miss Lulie Daniels, of

Misses Annie Pearl Hayes and Cath

were badly sprained and she also
sustained painful cuts and bruises

MOONSH|NE DOGS
MUST PAY PENALTY

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Jan, g.
Ring and Red, ,moonshiners, are gov
eminent prisoners here.
If convicted Of violating the pro-
hibition 1aw-and federal officers
think conviction is certain-they
will be officially barred from ever
returning to Shelby county, their
home.
Ring and Red are dogs-just plain
hounds. They were arrested by pro-
hibition agents at the same time
Their 1nasters-five Shelby county
n.en-were taken into custody on
charges Of distilling.
The five men were in the county
jail here today-and probably envied
the lucky Dogs arrested with
them. For the latter two are not
kept in Jail, but are prisoners at
the home of N. L. Pierce, federal
prohibition agent for this district.
They're just ordinary hounds, but
they're typical moonshiners, also,
said Mr.. Pierce today. "They cant
get away from the business, 1t gets
into their blood just like it gets into
the blood Of men and they like the
risk of it as well as any part OF the
game, and what is more-they know
revenue officer twice as quick as
the man who distills the whisky"
Red is a big fine dog, just the color
of his name. His dark eyes are
filled with intelligence and spirit ana
when he lifts up his head, showing
his long slender throat, and barks,
you can imagine him standing on
guard on the outskirts of a thick
woods Just about dusk. At the SOUND
of his barking you can imagine men
in the dense part of the woods
| hastily concealing still and making
a quick getaway. But the dog
doesn't run. He stays and faces the
danger Of guns and men to protect
the law-breakers. Mr.. Pierce says
they are SO trained that one bark
means one thing and one another
to the moonshiners hidden In the
woods.
The dogs supply the thrills Of rea!
moonshine tales, for they show uT
not only the bravest and most fear
less side, but also a romantic phase
| of love and loyalty.
"It looked almost as II the poor
old fellow was crying when they TOOK
them away from the men," said MIR
Pierce. eve had to put handcuffs
in the guise of strong rope arounc
their necks to get them into the au
tomobile, but once they were under
arrest they showed themselvs to be
good sports by not growing. =.
RED is an old offender, but TINS
is the first time we have ever beer
able to lay hands on him. He ought
to get about three years and after
he has reformed we are never gong
to let him get in the way of tempta
ton again. w are going to keeE
him out of Shelby county for life!
Ring is fairly new at the game
and six months ought to be enough
for his first offense."
