Prohibition for Georgia.

The Georgia Senate has passed the
prohibition bill by "a to 7. The house
committee reported 1t iavorably by
3S to II, and it will pass that body
and become law. South Carolina will
follow-probably in January-and
then North Carolina, for the anti
liquor sentiment is strong in that
State, and Governor Glenn, like our
own Ansel, Is a prohibitionist. The
saloon has gone, the dispensary is
last going, and the jug trade will soon
have to follow suit-Newberry OBJ

FARMERS UNION CITY.
Will be Established Near Implement
Factory Near Atlanta.
ATLANTA Journal, July 25.)

The Georgia Division Of the Far
mers' National Cooperative Union
is perfecting the details of a settle
ment city, to be established at the
junction of the Atlnnta and West
Point and the Atlanta. Birmingham
and Atlantic railroads, within less
than ten miles Of Atlanta. The
movement has been under way for
some months, and much progress
has been made by the union.
Members Of the organization now
gathered in Atlanta for the Annual
State Convention. are thoroughly in
tersted in the projected city. and
those familiar with the plans are
Thoroughly convinced the undertak-
ing will be crowned with success.
1t is the purpose Of the union to
build the proposed city about their
big implement factory. whiep will
be moved from Fairburn to the site
selected for the settlement The
business agents of the union have
already acquired the titles to big
tract OF land at the railroad juno
ton, and this .ract, together with
options that will be accepted, or
called, will give the union some
thing over 800 acres of the best
land in this section of the State.
The fact that the Farmers I'm
ion owns and operates, at Fair
burn, big implement factory has
just become known. The business
agents ot the Organization neGo-
tiated the purchase of the factory
some time ago, but nothing has been
said about 1t. The union has a way
Of going ahead and doing some
thing before taking the public into
it's confidence, and the implement
factory is only another evidence Of
this fact. 3d..
| 1t is known as the Carmichael
implement Company, and is super
intended by the man whose name
it bears. w. H. Halliday, of Stew
art county, is secretary and treasu-
rer, and both the officers are strong
members of the Farmers Union
The company ia capitalized at
$4,000, and every dollar of the
stock is owned by members of the
union. Under the constitution and
bylaws of the organization, no one
member can own over $1,000 of
stock in any enterprise, on which
account the holdings are Widely
distributed among tarmeIs- men,
bers of the union.
The factory makes a quantity of
harrows. distributors, etc.-and the
entire product Of the plant is pur-
chased by members of the union
The prices are made to suit the
farmers, and there is no middle
Iman's profit.
Since it was taken over by the
Farmers Union, the output of the
factory has been greatly increased
and it has been deemed wise and
lexpedient to seek a more suitable
location for the plant.
Oficers and business agents Of the
tunion decided to move the factory
Ito a location where they might also
build settlenaeut city, and the
magnificent site at the junction Of
the A. & w. P. and the A., B. &
la. was selected.
1t Is the purpose OF the union to
build In addition to e magnificent
Iplant, hundreds of comfortable
homes, not only for employees OF
the plant, but others Interested In
the good work of organization.
A cotton school Will be establish
ed at the settlement city, and here
pupils will be taught to classify
lcotton.

Especial TO The Messenger

Raleigh, n. c., January 22.-The
hose committee ON propositions and
grievances this afternoon, after hear
ing many representatives of prepare
tons known as soft drinks, deferred
action on the Douglas antelope bill
until Wednesday afternoon. Besides
the proprieors M attorneys of the
Coca-COla preparation from Atlanta
and the P~epsia-COla drink from New
Bern, many druggists appeared. The
evidence from all was that neither
drink contained any drug in harmful
quantity. Many certificates Of like
effect were filed from reputable ply
sicians Of many towns OF the state.
Mr.. Hancock, chairman OF the legis-
latiye committee of the State Pnarma-
ceutica ! Association, declared that
such drinks were not harmful, Coca
Cola even not containing as much
caffeine per glass as a cup OF coffee,
while ~Pepsia-COla contains only a
sixth as much. He advocated striking
out the provision of the bill referring
to caffeine, but retaining the interdic-
ton on the sale as beverages of pre-
| paratiOns containing cocaine, strych-
nine or any coal tar products.
There was a very large attendance
| bfore the liquor traffic committee over
! the bill giving growers of fruit in
Johnston county the right to make and
sell wine or cider. The bill was after

| Advocates Of the original bill claimed
hat in a special act of the legisla-
ture for prohibition in a couple of
small towns there was Sneaked
through provisions which prohibited
the sale of wine or cider made from
| a growers own fruit.
The democratic county convention
! almost unanimously recommended the
repeal of this special law, asking to
be put under the Watts law. The
committee would only grant the
amendment allowing the sale of own
er's own manufacture, in quantity not
| less than a quart.
The senate insurance committee re-
