THE FARMERS UNION
ROY E. DAVIS DEPOSED BY
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE;
DAWSON, MAN NAMED.

At meeting in Macon Saturday of
the executive committee of the Geor-
gia Farmers Union the president OF
the organization, Rev. Roy E.>Davis,
was deposed and Hon. ]. D. Weaver,
of Dawson, was chosen as his success
or. The members of the committee
who voted. unanimously for removal
of the president were: t. Chastain, of
Cairo; ]. E. Webb, of Hahira; S. F..
Johnson, of Va1dosta; w. T. Taylor,
of Dublin, and DR.. +. ?. Frazer, OF
Macon. Charles S. Barrett, national
president was in attendance.
In connection with the removal it
was announced by the executive com
mittee that it had been found that
Davis, who is a Ku Klux Klan leader
in South Georgia, had been leading a
dual life in Texas and Georgia.
The executive committee announced
that it had been found by its investi-
gators that Davis had been convicted
of the charge of cheating sand swim
ding in Wise county, Texas, in 1917;
that he came to Georgia and took the
name of professor Lon Davis, sing
err" later becoming pastor of a church
at Acworth, Ga that he was remov-
ed by the congregation for conduct
unbecoming a minister" and that he
had deserted a wife and four children
in Texas. Davis was recently elected
pastor of a church at Albany, and
was soon asked to resign, These
charges, it was stated, along with
others, were substantiated by afida-
Wits and photographs.
Davis is a smooth talker, innocent
in appearance, and dangerous man,
according to the committee.
Mr.. Weaver, who was invited to at
tend the meeting, was present and ac
cepted the position that was offered to
him. He said he would put number
of organizers n>the field and strength
en- the organization.
The new president of the union has
extensive farming interests in Terrell
county, and is widely known through
out the state. 1t is believed that I'M
der his administration the. organiza-
ton will take on new life and become
a greater factor in the promoting of
the best interests of the farmers.

SUPREME COURT
RULED BY "WETS"
BUT THAT WAS IN THE DAYS
OF CHIEF JUSTICE MAR
SHALL. SATURDAY OASIS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The SUI
preme court of the United States gen
orally is credited with being dry
tribunal. For that reason the prohibi-
ton enforcement officials are ex-
tremely anxious that the high court
shall pass as speedily as possible up
on the decision of Federal Judge Knox
in New York declaring unconstitu-
tional that portion of the Volstead act
which limits the amount of alcohol a
physician may prescribe for patient.
Judge Knox'S contention is that the
eighteenth amendment sought to deal
only with alcoholic beverages" The
prohibition forces believe that the dry
supreme court will override him.
Moist Were Those Days.
Whether they are right or not the
contention serves to recall the fact
that the supreme court was not al
ways dry. In the good old days" of
long ago, it is entirely permissible to
say, it was dry neither personally nor
officially. As a matter of fact an aw-
fully good story which has been told
in Washington from time to time was
an incident in which Chief Justice
John Marshall was reputed to be the
hero.
According to the story, Saturday
was motion day in those olden times,
and motion day was always more or
less of a bore and very combining to
the distinguished justices. The mo-

Therefore, it came to pass that on Sat
urday afternoons it was felt to be the
duty of the marshal Of the court to
provide that august tribunal with a
bit of liquid refreshment. Drinking
was drinking in those days, and the
old English tradition that mo gentle
man should be sober after 3 o'clock
in the afternoon" still had not faded
from the memory of man.
Too Much Wetness Results.
However, there came time, accord
ing to the historians, when the Satur-
day afternoons became a trif1e too
wet. This, of course, would not do.
So the court ruled that liquid refresh
ments were to be served only on rainy
Saturday afternoons, for then it was
felt that certainly bit OF toddy was
excusable.
Immediately after the supreme
courts first dry" ruling there came a
sure enough drought in Washington.
For six long weeks there were bright,
sunshiny Saturdays and the marshal,
true to his instructions, saw that
there was not drop in sight.
Ordeal Was Too Long.
For six hot, dry weeks the court
withstood the ordeal OF the desert.
But on the seventh Saturday there
came a change. Chief Justice Mar
shall approached the marshal of the
court.
mr.. Marshal" he said, 1T is your
understanding that the jurisdiction Of
this court extends to every and al
parts of the United States?"
That's is my understanding to the
full, Mr., Chief Justice" replied the
marshal.
Then, sir" concluded the most
learned judge of all, 81 rule that some
where in the United States today the
rain is falling"
