Drink a Handicap
During these days of competition
no man or woman should be handi-
capped by the drink curse It is true
that many able men drink liquors, but
it Is frequently the case for men of
ability to lose their good positions
because they become unreliable
through drink They are branded ns
fools and they ought to have known
better, but nothing was ever done to
warn them of the dangers of drink
ing alcoholic beverages until it was
too late to do any good
The fact that alcoholism tn its var

pneumonia, consumption n:ui typhoid

no* been recognised until recent

CURSE OF DRINK IN GEORGiA
Three-Fourths of Cases Before 8tate
Court of Appeals Caused by Ex-
cessive Use of Liquor.
Three-fourths of the cases that go
before the stale court of appeals are
due directly or Indirectly to the ex-
cqssive use of intoxicants, declares
Chief Justice Hen Hill of that tribunal,
in an opinion handed down by him In
the case of Will Langston, a Chero
ltee county youth, convicted of man
slaughter (or killing his father, says
the Atlanta Constitution.
This opinion is as strong as any
sermon nr temperance lecture against
the evils of drink. In it Justice Hill
says:
The fact of this case presents an
oth«r of the daily occurring instances
showing the monstrous and measure
less evil of Intoxicating liquors. This
hydra headed and remorseless mots
ster. with ceaseless and tireless energy
wastes 'he substance of the poor, tnp.n
tifactures burdensome taxps for the
public, monopolizes the valuable time
of courts, fills jails, penitentiaries and
asylums, ruins homes, destroys man
hood, terrorizes helpless women and
innocent children, baffles the church
and mocks the law. and answering Its
inexorable demands, 'each new morn
now widows mourn, new orphans cry.
new wrongs strike heaven in the
face’
"These are the products of a curse
imposed, not by the decree of flod,
but self-inflicted by the voluntary con-
duct of man, Its weak and wicked vir
Mm Judges of criminal courts, siwak
ing from official experience, have
grown weary calling attention to the
drink habit as the principal cause of
crime, and nothing the writer could
say would add to this manifest truth
Hut I cannot refrain front saying that
after five years’ observation of the
eases that have been before this court
three-fourths of ,the crimes are due di
feetly or indirectly to the excessive use
of Intoxicants, and that if the church
and the state and public sentiment
could ultimately make Georgia sober,
the prisons would be vacant, the chain
gangs empty, and the eities. towns
an-l country would he filled with pros
perous and happy homes."
Will Langston. 19 years old, killed
his own father, who had .come home
beastly drunk and drove his sick wife,
the youth’s mother, from her bed into
the night. The youth resented this
treatment or his mother. The father,
frenzied with liquor, knocked him
down, cut him with a knife, and
threatened to kill him The son then
picked up a stone, used as a door prop,
and hurled it at his father. It striking
him on the head and killing him. He
was fried and convicted of manslaugh
ter and appealed for a new trial, but
the court of appeals could find no
error on which to send the case back
to the lower court. Consequently the
decision was affirmed.
