ATLANTA, GA, December 29.--Nenr-
~ every saloon In the State Is dis
playing the following Legend:
Hush, little bar-room.
Don't you cry.
You'll be q drug store

You'll be q drug store
BY and by.
Meanwhile Georguns nre buying
whislkey as IL possessed with the idea
that when prohibition goes into effect
on January list liquor will disappear
from the earth. An endless procession
of bottles and jugs has been moving
from the 500 saloons and Wholesale
liquor houses OF Georgia for the last
three weeks.
The liquor is not being bought for
immediate consumption. but Is stored
away In anticipation of the great
drought that will strike Georgia after
the first day of January, 1905.
\ curious feature of this whiskey
buying is that 1T is, not confined to
whiskey users. AS matter of tact,
saIoonists state that persons who do
not use whiskey arc showing more
anxiety about laying in supply than
those persons who use 1t regularly. IN
many cases prohibitionists have stock
ed their closets with a supply OF IN
but so that it may be handy in case
of necessity.
1t is said that on last THURSDAY the
cash sales OF one Atlanta firm which
operates a distillerT and sells any
quantity from a quart up, aggregated
over 100000. And nearly all of the
whiskey went into the closets of
Georgia homes.
1t should be borne in mind that the
State prohibition law really affected
only a few counties in Georgia. Under
the local option law the prohibitionists
had succeeded in voting whlskey out
of 1875 counties before they moved for
state prohibition statute.
When the Legislature passed the
general law, saloons were in opera
ton in Georgia only at Atlanta. Au-
gustn, Macon. Columbus, Savannah. Al
Iany. Americas and Brunswick. In a
few other counties possibly twelve.
there were no saloons. but dispensaries
were operated by the county and mu-
inicipal authorities. and the profits used
for local government purposes.
Although saloons existed In so few
counties they paid a great sum In
taxes. as since the prohibition forces
became SO strong there has been
steady increase in the license.
For instance, in Atlanta there are
|135 saloons and each paid q license
Of $1,000 to the city and saoo to .ne
State. The Atlanta license. however,
was the highest in Georgia. ~
according to figures given at me
state Capitol there are 500 SALOONS - In
Georgia. and they pay the State s-fU ~.
