ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. ls-Georgia had an
interesting campaign on the liquor question
dnring the past week in the five leading
counties. The wholesale liquor dealers,
whose business is being badly broken up by
continued restrictions upon their trade,
sent out agents with barrels of whisky to
, influence the voters. In Taylor county
Cooper King, drummer of a Macon whole
sale house, after buying twenty-five votes
with twenty-five drinks, was arrested and
is held under twenty-fve warrants. The
county was carried by the whiskey men. In
ing in victory for whiskey. In Floyd
prohibition was also defeated. Campbell
county, however, voted prohibition, and so
did Cattoosa county. Actual prohibition
now prevails in over one-haIf of the state.
In the elections to come the wholesale whis-
key men of Atlanta, Macon, Augusta and
Savannah will enter with him, furnishing all
the liquor needed free. In Worth county,
where prohibition now prevails. merchants
have resorted to the subterfuge of selling
brandy peaches. The grand jury now in
session has taken hold of the matter and the
merchants are begging for a chance to re-
form.

No political effort or experiment will prove
effective in disrupting the solidity of the
