PROHIBITION MEETING.

Marietta had grand prohibition raj
~ at the court house Tuesday night.
and the crowd Of ladies and men were
glad to be present. The Gem City Band
discoursed some lively music
Capt w. j. Hudson, was made chair
man, and Col. W. R. Power, Secretary
DR.. G. E. w. Dobbs opened the exercis-
es with prayer.
Capt Hudson read article on temper
ance of his personal experience written
forty years ago OF admirable senti-
mentS.
A committee on resolutions was APP
pointed as follows: Judge John Aw-
trey, Mr. w Hardeman and Col W R
Power.
Representative J. Z. Foster was glad
to introduce two aole champions Of
the State prohibition bill in the Geor-
gia Legislature who were present by
invitation to speak on this occasion.
Col Foster was proud he was member
OF the Legislature so he could vote for
State prohibition. He then introduce
ed Hon W A Covington, of Moultrie,
and subsequently Hon Seaborn Wright,
of Rome. It is needlessly to say that
these two distinguished gentlemen de-
livered two of the most eloquent and
magnificent speeches ever heard in
that court house, full of sound truths,
irresistible arguments, logic, wit
and invective. The audience applaud
ed frequently. At the conclusion the
motion of Col Foster to take vote as
to the sentiment of those present. the
vast audience stood unanimously for
State prohibition.
The committee re ported strong reso-
lutions urging the General Assembly
to pass the State Prohibition bill, which
were adopted.
1t was an enthusiastic meeting and
expressive of the wishes of the good
people of Cobb county.

THE CONNECTS.

Some interesting facts are disclosed
IN the annual report of the State Prison
Commission, which has Just been made

calls attention to the fact that sub

price was $570 per annum for each able.
bodied man, was recently approved. II
present prosperous conditions continue
the commission feels assured that when
the next lease is made in April. 1909
the state will get at least $3.50 a wear
for its convicts, which is double the
present amount.
The commission calls attention to the
increasing number of homicides. or

Among the bills introduced by Rep
resentative Foster in the House on the
first day for the introduction of bills,
was a resolution for the appropriation
Of $4,000 for the benefit of the Confed-
crate cemetery at Marietta The ceme-
terry is now State property by deed, and
Governor Terrell called attention of the
legislature to this fact and asked that
money be appropriated to keep it in re-
pair and decent condition. We are glad
to see this move on the part of Repre-
sentative Foster and trust his efforts
will be rewarded. He certainly will do
his part.

CLOSE THEM.

Governor Hoke Smith in his insugu.
raj address said he preferred local on.
ton to State prohibition. That method
is one calculated to give Atlanta the
monopoly in this section in SELLING
whisky Just so Atlanta is permitted
to sell whisky the other towns and
counties can go dry, for the shipments
to these counties will only increase At.
lanta's revenue. 1t seems to US the
sentiment OF the State is against Gov.
ernor Smith in this matter of local on.
ton Let the Piedmont bar and all
the other bar-rooms in Atlanta be
closed and the State will continue to
prosper as the prohibition towns arc
prospering now.
