FIGHTING THE SALOON.
High License Law TO Be Enforced I'm
Ware, Says MIR. Bennett.

Waycross. Ga. Oct. 1.-Hon. John
w. Bennett, solicitor general of the
Brunswick circuit states emphatically
that he will indict all violators of the
present high license law at the coming
sessions of the courts. Mr.. Bennett,
with many other strong lawyers in the
circuit, does not hold that the high
license laws are the same as that in
Irwin county. passed upon by the SUI
preme Court some time ago. Believing
this to be true as he does, the solic-
itor will indict all violators and pros
ecute the cases vigorously. This will
give a great deal of trouble to the man
who violates the high license laws IN
the Brunswick circuit, even though
they should eventually be declared un-
constitutional.
