MAC OSBORN BADLY
INJURED IN CRASH
WITH LIQUOR AUTO
Federal Agent Coyle Spends Busy
Week Enforcing Volstead
Amendment

Federal Agent Coyle spent a busy
weekend last week and started this
week off in a rush. He celebrated
Easter by catching the largest still
since he was appointed Federal Agent
for this district. Early Easter morn
ing he caught Oscar Taylor operat-
ing 150-gallon still near the Pauld-
ing county line. Besides the still and
prisoner 1000 gallons of beer was
also taken.
Monday night as Federal Agent
Coyle and some of his deputies were
chasing liquor car over the Fulton
line near Roswell, 'Mac" Osborn was
thrown off the car and badly injured
He is improving rapidly now and
should soon be out doing his share
of enforcing the prohibition law
again. According to Mr.. Coyle they
overlook the liquor car and were en-
deavoring to block it when they were
hit from behind. The impact threw
Osborn off the running board, crash
ing his head against the pavement
The liquor runners showed some
manhood by avoiding running over
the unconscious officer.
The chase was abandoned and Os-
born carried to Roswell for medical
attention. He was later brought to
Marietta.
Friday, and thirteen, when togeth-
er are always interpreted to mean
"bad luck" This proved no excep-
ton in the Case of Joe Crane, of At
lanta, who was caught last Friday
night by Federal Agent Coyle, with
thirteen gallons of corn whiskey
His Ford touring car was turned ovel
to the Federal authorities.
A small so gallon still was taker
about mile east of Campbell and
three miles south of Smyrna last
weekend by Federal Agent Coyle
The still was near a small branch
f, and only rs yards from the main
road. A small quantity Of beer was
also taken. No arrests were made.

A committee from the board went
before the state highway commission
Friday to endeavor to get their aid
on the project. No definite answer
has been received but the commits
sioners feel confident that they will
get the aid.
According to the agreement the
government pays half of the cost
The commissioners are endeavorine
to get the State to bear half of the
remainder. The city of Roswell has
agreed to bear half of the county's
expense. Bonds have already been
foated by the city of Roswell for
this purpose.
Work will start within a short time
provided the petition is approved.

TO THE PEOPLE OF COBB
COUNTY

| am a candidate for reelection
to the judgship of our circuit. I'm
der democratic usage, l feel that
am entitled to reelection without
opposition.
I have endeavored to administer
the laws fairly and impartially, in
business-like manner, and with
minimum of cost. l have endeavored
to treat all our people fairly in MAX
ing appointments, by giving the diff
ferent political parties representa-
ton, and above all by appointing men
who enjoy the confidence of their fell
low men for uprightness and fairness.
| have devoted my time to the dis
charge of the duties of my office,
and have had no other business or
calling to interfere with this work.
have had no favorites to serve
nor enemies to punish, and this is an
important factor in the administra-
ton of law and justice. l have not
played politics, built political ma
chimes, nor fomented factional strife.
Partisan politics in the judiciary is
utterly incompatible with a just adj
mlnistration of the laws. Grand ju-
RES IN our county, and other coun-
ties of the circuit, have commented
with approval, upon the fact that our
courts are free from politics. All
right thinking people know the great
Importance of this fact in the admin
lstration of justice.
Since l have been your judge, l
have endeavored to reduce crime by
inspiring more wholesome respect
Tor law among our people. 1t is well
to punish crime but it is infinitely
better to prevent it. 1t is right to
enforce the laws but it is far better
10 have them obeyed. This can be
accomplished only when there is vi
talizing sentiment among our people
Tor the upholding of our laws and a
readiness on their part to discharge
the duties of good citizens. | have
laoored for improvement along these
mes and it is gratifying to know
mat measurable success has been and
is being realized Our conditions are
improving, crime in general is on the
Increase, and there is an awakening
VI the public sentiment throughout
lie circuit that makes crime unpop-
nlar and more difficult.
these are the things that have
stood for and will continue to stand
1or' Good people over the circTt
nave shown their appreciation by ex-
pressing to me their full satisfaction
with my administration and by pledg-
ing their support for my reelection.
ana to you Cobb county people,
among whom have lived and labored
ior more than forty years, and who
know me best, / come asking for
your approval, endorsement and ac-
1--WE support, assuring you that if
gwen, it will be most gratefully ap-
pfeciated. / am,
Very sincerely,
M d. w. Blair.

COX IN NEW YORK BUT
 NOT AS A CANDIDATE
Says He Would Not Accept Nomination if It Were
 Offered Him

New York, July 7.--James NJ. Cox, of Ohio, the democratic presidential nominee in 1920. came to New York today and began conferences with various party leaders but declared he was not a candidate and would not accept the nomination this year if it were offered him.
 He issued this statement.
 q have come to New York at the urgent request of prominent members of the party who have expressed the belief that trying emergency has arisen and that the offices of the titu- lar leader of the democracy should be extended, with view to bringing about harmony.
 At the outset let it be understood that not only am l not candidate, but I will not accept the nomination if tended me. l do not know wheth- CT I can be of any service but my sense of gratitude and duty tells me that should try.
 Tt is unnecessary to elaborate upon the need of an agreement between the delegates. Nothing will be gained by going into events or conditions that have come and gone since the con- vention assembled. I am not here for or against any candidate but am sim ply seeking to initiate and develop a purely democratic and non- factional view out of which will come both nomination and a democratic presi- ( ent."s
