NO VIOLATION OF LIQUOR LAW
No Convictions In This judicial Cir
cult in Years.

No Convictions In This judicial Cir
cult in Years.
There are numerous "dry" counties
in southwestern Georgia, Sumter
among them, and the fact that the To-
cal option laws have not been violated
presumably is matter of much con-
graduation among those fayorIng pro-
hlbition.
And this information comes from
very excellent authority.
. OF course hundreds of cases of alleged
violation of this law have been docket
ed, but it was an instance where
''many are called but few are chosen"
Even here in Americas the ipoIice
have nabbed score of people whose
pet was supposed to be o sightless
tiger, but it is fact that not one of
the defendants tried wasl convicted.
Numerous cases still crowd the dock
ct, and these will come up for hear
ing at some future time.
AS matter OF course the parties tried
for alleged violation of the liquor laws
were innocent thereof, else the jury
would not haye turned them loose.
Judge z. A. Littleiohn was speaking
upon the subject day or two ago.
cit is fact" said he 'that during a
period of nearly five years since went
upon the circuit bench I have never
yet seen anyone convicted of the charge
of selling whiekey illegally, though
cases have been tried before me. I"
This applies not only to Sumter but
to dozens of counties where Judge
Littlejohn has presidedat court.
All of of which goes to prove that
people are not bad at all, and especially
would they scout the idea of violating
our model prohibition laws.
