AMENDMENT TO PROHIBITION BILL

Atlanta, July l3.--Early this morning
before the Senate met, it was freely
predicted that the Hardman prohibit
ton bill would be put upon its passage
today, and that it would be passed by
the upper house there seemed to be lit
tie doubt. 1t not only forbids the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants in
Georgia, but it prohibits the keeping of
them at any ones place of business.
1t forbids the manufacture of domes-
tic wines and elders, and makes no
provision for wines to be used for sac
remental purposes. 1t binds hoops of
steel about the licensed druggist, who
is permitted to sell pure alcohol. In
fact, the bill is as drastic as it is pos
sible to make it.
The question of prohibition and anti
prohibition, for there is two sides to the
question, with a big following for
each, is the absorbing topic in the Cap
ital City of the State.
1t is discussed IN the business houses,
on the streets, at pleasure resorts, in
the theatres. in fact, everywhere, The
lines and jokes of the theatrical folks
all manage to carry something bearing
ON the situation, and with every men
ton of the subject there is an abun-
dance of applause.
The question beyond doubt has
proved of more interest and receiving
more attention from the outside public
than has any similar legislative meas
ure that has been introduced in several
years. Those who recall the previous
prohibition fight say that the present
agitation is far greater, and that the
lawmakers are wrought up as they
have never been before.
Interest in other legislation has been
and will continue to remain at low
ebb until the prohibition fight is set

There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease and prescrib-
ed local remedies, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it lncurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease and therefore requires consti-
tuional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. j. Cheney &
Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitu-
tional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to a
teaspoonful. 1t acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to cure. Send for
circulars and testimonials.
