EXPERIENCE
WITH LOCAL OPTION.
Continued from page ]

for the sale of liquor in Fulton County
for the year 1887 Within the last week
five new distilleries have registered
and begun opera ton. Three have
doubled their producing capacity from
20 bushels of grain per day to 90 bushels
per day. Four have double by increas-
ing from 10 to 20 bushels of grain per
day. | have noticed that. five more
grain distilleries willregister and begin
operations the last of the month. There
are more than twice as many distilleries
in operation now than before prohibi-
tion went into effect. The production
of corn liquor in Georgia during the
month of October, 1887, was three
times as much as was produced in the
corresponding month of October, 1885.
My collections for the tax year begin
ming July l. 1886, and ending June 80,
1887, were $32, 900 in excess of the cor
responding year ending June 80, 1885,
My collections for the current tax year
will be SIS, 600 greater than for the last
tax year. Ny collections are almost
entirely from liquor. The liquor pro-
duced at the grain distilleries finds
ready sale as fast as made. At least
95 per cent. OF the liquor made in my
district is sold in Georgia. Many of
the grain dItsilleries are In dry coun-
ties. Respectfully,
THOS. C. CRENSHAW, JR.,
Collector Internal Revenue, State OF
Georgia.
1.-The truth of the matter is that the
prohibition law is fraud and it cannot
be enforced. That this is true the sub

A Cautious Official.

It is well to be cautious, but there are times when even caution may be carried to excess. The widow of German officer went to the pen sion office for the purpose of draw ing the pension due her. She pre- sented the usual certificate of the mayor of the village in which she lived, to the effect that she was still alive.
 '"This certificate is not right" said the official in charge severely.
 'What is the matter with it ?" in- quired the poor widow.
 '1t bears the date of Dec. 21,'' was the stern reply, "and your pen sion was due on Dec. b."
 "What kind of a certificate do you wish?" inquired the disappointed applicant.
 "We must have a certificate stat ing that you were alive on the 18th of December" said the official, with great iirmness. "Of what possible use is this one that says you were alive on the 2lst of December, six days later?"
