WHIsKEY is being sold in Marietta in
defiance Eof public sentiment aud law
Those who are engaged in this traffic ought
to be made to feel that they are criminals,
as much so as if they had burglarized a
house. The frequent violation of law,
make criminals bold, and if they will not
respect one law, they will not another. If
a few were sent to. the chin gang it would
be wholesome example. The only way
that Judge Estes could break up gambling
in Atlanta, was to refuse to place a fine
but send the offender to the chain gang.
This had the desired effect.
