ING LAST EVENING.
The local option crusade meeting at
the Cycle Academy last evening was
better attended than the one held on
the evening preceding. Before Mr.
Small began his address on Personal
Liberty sclos were sung by Rev. j..
Parsons Smith, Rev. Ralph T. Cour-
sey, Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Sickle. In
the course of the address which fol-
lowed, the gifted Georgian said:
Liberty is a name to conjure with
when you desire to arouse the highest
patriotism and self-sacrifice of the
American citizen. The love of 1t is a
divinely implanted instinct, and the fer
vor for it should never be coerced or
quenched. But. on the other hand, the
name Of liberty should not be misused
as a shield for wrong or a bulwark for
the enemies Of all true liberties that
government is organized to conserve.
There is no such thing in this LAND
of ours as personal liberty to make anc
sell liquors. Justice Fields opinion fol
