WET AND DRY
COUNTIES IN STATE,
The Division is Striking
and Condition is Not
the Best,

There are twenty eight wet, counties
in the state of Georgia. These are coun-
ties in which liquor can be sold out
right in open saloons.
There are twenty-five counties in
which liquor is or can be sold in dis
pensaries.
In nearly all of these twenty-five dis
pensary counties whiskey is being sold
in dispensaries.
An anomalous condition exists in one
county, Lee. In that county whiskey
is sold in one town in an open bar room
and in another in dispensary.
Floyd is put down in the wet column,
although the right to vote for dispen-
sary was given to that county by the
last legislature and red hot dispensary
campaign is on there now,ss the election
to occur February Is.
In one or two of the dispensary coun-
ties, dispensaries may be established
there by vote of the people, and in
one or two instances by resolution of
the mayor and council.
The first is true of Wilkes, where q
vote has just been had, although the
law does not go into effect until No
vember l, 1902. This is also true of
Floyd, where the election is now on /.
Pulaski comes under the head of the
latter.
Newton is put down in the dispensary
column, although no .dispensary has
been located there. They have the
right to vote on it, however, under an
act passed in 1898.
The counties in which whiskey is now
sold are sas follows: Baker, Baldwin,
Bibb, Camden, Catoosa, Chattooga,
Colquitt, Dade, Decatur, Dougberty,
Floyd, Fulton, Glynn, Irwin, Laurens,
Lowndes, Macon, Mcintosh, Miller,
Muscogee, Pickens, Rabun, Richmond, ,
Spalding, Taliaferro, Epson, Wilcox
and Worth-28.
The counties in which dispensaries
are or can be operated are as follows:
Calhoun, Carroll, Clarke, Clay, Coffee,
Dodge, EARLY, Lee, Madison, Marion,
Monroe, Pike, Pulaski, Quitman, Ran
dolph, Stewart, Terrell, Troup, Twiggs,
Webster and Wilkes--not including
Floyd-22.
Thus it will be seen that Sthere are
twenty-eight wet counties and twenty
two dispensary counties, making a to-
tai of fifty wet counties, and leaving
eighty-seven absolute dry counties in
| the state.
Some of these are dry by high license
and legislative enactment.

Not only has the trolley invad-
ed the Holy land of the Christians,
with lines from Java to Jerusa-
lem and from Damascus to Mount
Sinai, but it is to invade the holy
land of TIE Mohamedans as we'll.
A concession has recently been
secured for the construction of a
trolley line to Mecca, where the
body of the prophet is believed to
repose. As is well known, it is be-
lieved to be the pious duty Of every
Mohamedan to make a pilgrimage
to the tomb of the Prophet. The
trolley company is quite sure that
earring the pilgrims will prove a
profitable business. As might be
supposed, the projectors Of the
scheme are Americans, and
American n achinery and cars will
be employed.

1t strikes the Sparta Ishmaelite
that Georgia farmer, with plenty
of corn to sell at a dollar a bushel
wouldn't need to take much stock
in the price of cotton. The truth
contained in that proposition sug-

make the Georgia farmers masters
of the provision markets of the
state and prosperous beyond prece-

A MELANGE OF

by a Local Scribe.
HUMANITY.

An example of the human char
2cteristic Of Difference to the
wealthy, the powerful and the
great was afforded a few days ago
by an accident OH the Southern
railroad near Rome, iii this state,
in which the engineer was killed
and Nordica, the great prima don
ma, suffered a slight confusion by
being throw from her bed. 1t is
said that every paper in the union
published an account of the affair.
In all of the newspapers, except
one, seen by the writer there were
great, glarlng headlines in large
type, followed by sub-headings
telling that the noted singer had
been in a railway accident, and
lower down and in small letters it
was casually mentioned that En-.
gineer Tracy had been killed by
being scalded to death, after being
caught under his engine. 1t APP
peared that the only injury
sustained by the diva was that in
falling from her bed had been q
little bruised, but it was stated in
explanation, that she walked about
the wreck and conversed freely
with the railway officials, and q
later item gave the news that as a
new engine appeared to draw her
car to Chattanooga, she was at
lunch and expressed herself as
having never felt better. or was
never in better spirits. Admiral
Schley, who was in Savannah at
the time, FASTENED to telegraph
his congratulations upon her es-
cape, which telegram duly found
it's place in the papers.
Poor Tracy! After meeting an
agonizing death at the post of
duty, he is dismissed with scant
notice by the few papers who men,
ton his name at all, while nine.
tenths Of the papers which noticed
this incident, considered that his
part in the affair was not of suffi-
cient Importance to connect his
name Herewith, or perhaps to men
ton the fact of his death. The only
paper which the writer saw that
gave the engineer the prominent
part of the account was the Rome
Tribune.
This incident suggests the anec-
dote of the fashionable and wealthy
lady who, when her pet lap dog bit
a piece of flesh from her footman' Is
leg and swallowed it, exclaimed
"Poor little fellow I hope il
won't make him sick"
