CHAPTER XIX,

Just one week from the night on
which Deneau and his associate had
discussed the means by which they
were to enter Dead Mans Cave they
were wrapped in heavy storm cloaks,
pushing their way toward the banks
OF the Tennessee river through thick
forests of trees. A storm was gather.

ent question is being agitated
pro and con. The advocates of To-
cal option believe that Atlanta
will be looked upon as a dead
town if liquor is no longer sold
there. For a long time that city
has insisted upon keeping the
saloons closed on Sunday and
upon a strict observance OF its
liquor laws, and it has not been
considered an especially con-
genial gathering place for
"sports."
On the other hand, the prohi-
bitionists argue that, while Allan
ia may lose six or seven millions
of dollars in her liquor trade, she
will make it up in saving much
of this money. They argue that
the people who formerly spent
money for liquor will spend it
for groceries, for houses and
clothes. All this remains to be
seen, however.
In South Carolina the State
dispensary system has been in
vogue for many years, the State
carrying on the liquor business
there as is done in Russia and
other European countries. The
dispensary system brought in a
great revenue to the State, but
had many features to which OBJ
lection was made on seemingly
good grounds.
All told, we suppose that the
anti liquor agitation is an out
growth, in a way, OF the general
reform and agitation tendency
of the times. On all sides,
people are taking a more and
more active interest in setting
right the things they be-
lieve to be wrong. And there
are many who view with alarm
the stupendous drink bill which
the American people are run
ming up yearly. 1t is estimated
that in Chicago alone a hundred
millions of dollars a year are
spent for liquor. while the New
Workers. bill must be three
times this amount.
Yet the most staunch advo
Gates of temperance in New
York and Chicago are not advo
eating prohibition there. They
fight intemperance, the TOT
great use of alcohol; they illus
trate the danger it is to tn
stomach, the damage it works OF
the kidneys, the bladder, tn
nerves, the heart and the head
By a propaganda of this kim
they hope to teach those VIII
cannot use liquor in moderation
to let it alone.
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1907-08-07

will probably stimulate the Pro-
hibitionist of the other Southern
States to greater exertions.
The moral effect of a victory SO
decisive can hardly fail to ex'
tend beyond State lines. and we
need not be surprised by the IN
auguration of a vigorous and ag'
g:essive prohibition campaign
all over the South.

Prohibition Wins in Georgia.

Prohibition Wins in Georgia.
Times Democrat, July 81.
The prohibition fight in Georgia
was carried to a successful issue
in the lower house yesterday
afternoon, when the Hardman
bill was passed by a vote of 139
to 80. The measure, which was
first passed by the Senate, will
go back to that body, several
amendments having been made in
the House. There is no doubt OF
it's enactment, however. and Gov.
Smith is pledged to its approval.
The law will go into effect Jan. 1,
1908.
When it is remembered thai

The Georgia Prohibition Fight.
Orleans Item.

BhS ~SVb
New Orleans Item.
1t begins to look as though the
great State of Georgia would go
dry very shortly by the enact
ment of Legislative statutes.
A temperance fight always
brings about a great deal OF
bitterness, partly because big
financial interests are involved.
partly because there is often in
temperance in the opposition to
the liquor traffic. and partly be-
cause there are a great many
people who like their little drink,
who like to take it in a saloon,
and who resent very strongly the
attempt on the part of any one
to prevent by law their right to
do so.
The movement in Georgia may
be followed by a similar one in
North Carolina, as well as in
Alabama.
Kentucky has recently been
the field of considerable tenn
perance agitation; likewise Vir,
ginia.
In fact, there has been a move
ment pretty much all over the
South to cut out the whiskey
traffic in the rural districts.
One reason for this is that the
small country places are unable
to afford proper police protection,
and it is argued that the great
number of negroes who drink
in the country districts consti
tute a menace. So the cross
roads groggery has had rather
hard shedding in the South dur
ing recent years, and there have
been few to mourn its going.
With the enactment of prohi
bition in Atlanta that city will be
come the largest temperate
town in America. There wa
prohibition in Atlantis once be
fore, but the city returned t
high license, and a saloon keepe
there pays a thousand dollars
year for the privilege of sellin'
alcoholic liquors.
Perhaps the main cause of tn
present prohibition agitation i
Atlanta may be found in the rae
riots of last winter there. I
certain of the poorer districts {
Atlanta there were groggerie
e which whites and blacks col
gregated, drinking and carou'
ing together. It was out of th
familiarity thus bred that til
riots grew, and many of thos
most aggressive in killing th
negroes were their associates ]
these saloons.
The financial end Of the. pre-

the opponents of the Dill
showed their ability last week
by means of a flibuster to keep
the measure from third reading,
the overwhelming vote finally re-
corded in it's favoris rather sur
prising. 1t is probably attrlou-
table in part to the pressure OF
public sentiment, which was
brought to bear heavily upon the
opposing Representatives, and
in part to the fact that some OF
those who INSTRUCTED its passage
to third reading were working
only to secure certain amend
ments TO the measure. Twenty
one amendments were offered
yesterday, only two of which
we're accepted and Incorporated.
The anti-prohibitionists appar-
entity made their last stand for an
amendment postponing the oper-
alton OF the law until Jan. l, 1909.
and Oh this issue they were de-
feated-12S to 40.
The Hardman bill makes the
manufacture or sale Of intOXlcat-
ing liquors within the confines
of the State a misdemeanOr, and
punishable as such. Licensed
druggists + permitted to sell
pure alcohol only, upon pres
criptiOn of a reputable practicing
physician, who must certify that
he has examined the patient and
that alcohol is necessary in the
alienation or cure of illness from
which said patient is suffering.
Such prescriptions may be filled
only upon the date on which it is
issued or the day following, and
the druggist is required to file a
certified copy of it in the office
of the ordinary of his county,
the record to be subject to public
inspection. No such prescrip-
ton shall be rehlled. nor shall
more than one pint of alcohol be
furnished upon any prescription.
Violation of these provisions by
a druggis5 or physician cOnstl'
tutes a misdeamOr, and, ANY
person who shall obtain alcOhO.
for another in accordance with
the terms hereof, and shall con
vert the same to any other use
: shall be guilty of a misde
meanOr.'
Evidently the Georgia Prohibi
, tionists have profited by the ex
perience of their fellows in Othel
? States, where prohibitOry law:
. have not infrequently been evad
ed by drugstore liquor sellers
The provisions outlined above
! however, are unusually drastic
and many physicians. it is under
stood, urged their notifications
The very rigor of the law ma.
lead eventually to its downfall
but the overwhelming majorit,
by which it carried in bot
houses leaves no doubt that tn
Georgians in their present ten
3 per are determined to give it
thorough trial.

FIRE ON NEW YORK BRIDGE.
Burning Oil Runs Over Williamsburg
Span-Firemen Injured.

NEW YORK, June 17.-More than 10000
persons watched a spectacular blaze on
the Brooklyn plaza of the Williamsburg
bridge last evening. 1t was confined to
frame building belonging to the Dunseath
Construction Company Of William street,
but the structure contained many barrels
Of oil and other combustible liquids, which,
when they exploded, covered some of the
firemen with burning oil and injured them
severely.
The company is building the connecting
loop between the elevated railroad In
Broadway and what is to be the elevated
structure on the Williamsburg bridge. The
company erected its tool house On the
bridge plaza, and in it they also had stored
barrels of combustibles used in connection
with the work.
Mischievous boys who we're seen smok-
ing cigarettes near the building just be-
fore the fire was discovered are believed
to be responsible for the blaze. These
boys were seen to run away, and they
were scarcely out of sight when the build
ing was in flames. The blaze burst through
the roof and the explosion of barrel OF
oil caused one side of the building to blow
out The burning oil flowed into the car
tracks and caused a blockade of the cars
on the Brooklyn Rapid Transit system
across the bridge
BY the time the fremen reached the
scene the entire building was in flames.
Thousands of people gathered on the plaza
and the Williamsburg bridge police We're
unable to control them SO word was sent
to the Bedford avenue police station and
the reserves from that precinct were
turned out.
Meanwhile the firemen. who had been un-
able to extinguish the blaze, received or
ders to pull out with hooks the remaining
barrels of combustbles. AS the barrels
were being rolled out they exploded. and
IT was then that half a dozen firemen who
were close by with their hooks were
burned, but not seriously.
1t became necessary to smother the blaze
by throwing sand over it. When the fire
was out the blockaded cars stretched
across the entire bridge to the Manhattan
terminal and on all the thoroughfares lead
ing to the bridge from the Williamsburg
side.
All the tools and machines in the building
were destroyed. The damage was about
$1,000
