IT DOESN'T PROHIBIT.
Prohibition in Georgia Making Whisky
More Plentiful Than Ever.

ATLANTA, GA, October l7.--Fulton
county Jail is full of illicit distillers.
Eighty men are in the Jail yard and Others
have been distributed to the jails in Cobb
and other adjoining counties. There are
three hundred cases of revenue violation
on the dockets of the United States Dis
trict Court. This shows wonderful re-
vival in the manufacture of Illicit
whisky in almost every county in the
State 1t is due to the fact that prohibi-
ton, having closed up the bar-roomS
and cut off the foreign supply, has created
an excellent home market for Georgia
made whisky. People who are well-tO-dO
or who have drinking habits send abroad
for their liquor, but the poor white man
and negro buy from the wagon which may
be so often seen around the corner.
As an example of how this work is car
ried on it may be stated that wagon laden
with apples will start out from Rabun
county and will he heard from rs far
south as Wilkes, having crossed mountains
and streams through Habersham,
Franklin and OglethOrpe counties.
OF course, the price of the apples
would not pay for the trip through one
of these counties. 1t is out of the illicit
whiskey hidden under the apples that the
thrifty farmer makes his money. The
Government distilleries also enjoy the
boom. They are free from the espionage
of the revenue officers and can pick out a
better class of customers than can the il
licit distillers. The men to whom they
sell could not afford to stand up in their
communities as informers, and hence the
Govern ment distiller has absolute immu-
nifty.
The question which is now occasionally
asked, and which may yet assume large
proportions, is, would it not be better to
take away all Government protection from
the liquor interest by a complete abolition
of the revenue laws, which would destroy
the liquor market by gluttingit. The an
swer TO this question may open up an era
of free whiskey as opposed to no whisky.

A DESPERATE MILL.
Reed vs.. Brindy-The Walls aud Ceiling
Spattered With Blood.

Spattered With Blood.
CHICAGO, October IA desperate
glove encounter took place last evening,
in a room not far from the Board Of Trade
and was witnessed only by a select party
of the Board of Trade and q delegation Of
Archer avenue saloon keepers. The
principles were Charley Reed, Of Buffalo,
les pound pugilist, and Jno. Br,ndy, Of
Omaha, who weighs ITO pounds. Reed
was backed by \ well-known Board OF
Trademan, while Stockyards men were
behind Brindy. The stakes were $3.50 q
side and the battle, which lasted through
33 rounds and two hours and ten minutes,
is said to have been one of the most des-
perate that has ever taken place in this
vicinity, the gloves used being Of the skin
variety. The first 10 or l2 rounds were
rather tame, the men being wary and feel
ing each other, but after that they went
at it hammer and tongs Reed was nearly
knocked out twice during the 2lst and 25th
rounds, but came to both times in
nine seconds, and though groggy, gamely
continued the battle. In the thirty-third
round both men came up very weak, Reed
being trife stronger of the two But
little damage was done in the early part Of
the round, but finally, Reed, feinting with
his right, caught Brindy with terrific
left handed upper cut on the chin, knock
ing him onto the ropes, against which he
leaned for moment and then fell heavily
in the middle of the ring Both men were
badly punished and had to be taken away
from the scene of action in carriages,
while the sides and ceiling of the room in
which they fought were spattered with
blood.

HEWITT'S LETTER
OF AeeePtanee-He Cannot Refuse to Run
Against George.

Against George.
NEw YORK, October I7.-Abram s.
Hewitt, the nominee of the united Democ.
racy Of this city for Mayor, has accepted
the nomination. In his letter of accept
ance, which was made public last evening,
he says in substance that, while his per-
sonal preference would be to continue in
the sphere of action in which, as Repre-
sentative in Congress, he has labored for
many years to promote the substantial in
terests of New York, he can not but accept
the nomination, 80 unanimously rendered
because of the new issue which has sud-
denly sprung up in New York, viz: An
attempt to organize one class of citizens
against all other classes, and to place the
government of the city in the hands of men
willing to represent the interests of this
class to the exclusion of the Just rights of
all Others. The idea which underlies
this movement" Mr.. Hewitt says, sis at
war with the fundamental principles upon
which our Government was organized and
rests"
Mr. Hewett then goes into long re-
view of the injury which would result to
the interests of the country and stability
of its institutions if the results of the cleo
tiOn would show any strength Of this
movement with regard to organization of
Trades Union and other labor OrganiZa-
tions. Mr.. Hewett says they should be
encouraged, 80 that their grievances and
demands may be submitted to public
Judgment and met by appropriate legisla-
tive remedies.
The organized movement now made, "
continues Mr.. Hewitt, ''for the first time,
against the methods Of political action ap-
proved by the experience of a century OF
steady progress, and under which the
country has enjoyed q measure Of pros
perity heretofore unknown to the human
race, must be clearly sustained or en-
phaticllly condemned by the people of
this city, which is rs much the metropO-
lis of the United States rs Athens was
the Eye of Greece
In conclusion Mr. Hewitt says: Il feel
it my duty to take my allotted part rs the
candidate Of the citizens who are in favor
of law, order and progress, according to
the methods approved by our past exper-
fence, against the advoeates of the policy
miscalled progress, which can only lead to
universal poverty and general ruin
IustrOng c OntraSt to Hewitt's delibera-
tiOn in taking time to consider well the
nomination was ROOsevelt's indecent haste
in hurrying around to the Union League
Club this morning and accepting his
chance before il was cold.
At meet ting of the leaders OF Irving
Hall tonight it was resolved to support
Henry George for Mayor.
