WHEN NEW PRoHI LAWS GOES
INTO EFFECT.
GE0RGIA'S GREAT CHANGE
New Law Makes It Really and Tru-
ly Dry State-Bill Was Passed By
Overwhelming Majority-Atlanta
Largest Dry City in World.

Atlanta. Ca Dec. 24-The state of
Georgia rs now on the verge Of the
greatest change that has marked the
history of the state and from the be-
ginning of the first day of January
1908 the legal sale of liquor through
out the state will end and new license
law will go into effect. The bill
for prohibition which came up be-
fore the house was passed by most
swe eepIng majority ever given to a
measure Of this kind and after the first
Of the year no liquor will be dispens-
ed inly in small amounts and then
only OH a prescription of physician.
Georgia will be really dry stats,
and there is only tone loop hole in
the measure and that is it does not
prohibit the sale of liquor In clubs
as the law applies only TO public
places.
With the passing of this law At
lanta becomes the largest dry town
in the world.

GAMBLERS ALWAYS WARNED
Police Commissioner Willis, of Bal
tirnore Declares He Will Resign.

Baltimore, Dec. 2I.-President
George r. Willis, of the board OF po-
lice commissioners, today declared
his intention OF resigning because
he finds that the laws, especially
those against gambling and Sunday
liquor selling are being fagrantly
violated and that the board is help
less.
All carefully planned raids go
wrong because the violators are in
variability warned, he says.
Unable to find the leaks, Mr.. Will
lislis himself undertook several raids
upon information personally procur-
ed outside police sources. He took
sergeant whom he thoroughly
trusted and several new policemen
but was surprised to find that even
then tips had been given in quiuck
time. Mr. Willis then went out
himself and found the place nad
been warned. He says he finds all
the men on the force high and low
are afraid to do their duty for fear
it will be counted against them by
the new board, which the incoming
legislature will appoint.

As a phantouns OF a ghost.

Like passion died away.
And at night, serene aud still,
Fell on village. vale and hill
Then the moon, in all ner pride,
Like a spirit g1orifaed.

NEGRO KILLING
JEALOUS BLACK SHOOTS THE
WoRsHIPER OF HIS PARA
MOUR SUNDAY NIGHT

When Ed Smith, colored switch
man, who is employed i'll the South
ern Railway Co.'S yards in this city,
returned to his house Sunday night
about 9 O'Clock, he found All intrud
er there and promptly took a shot at
him. His victim was Jim English,
a negro boy about 10 years of age,
and the shooting ooeurreed III the
south end of the city near the South
ern tracks.
English evidently heard Smith
on the floor at the back door of the
house. The woman made her es-
cape and went to New Town. En-
glish lives directly across the street
from the house. His mother, father
and one of his sisters called to him
just before the shooting occurred,
father went across the street and met
Smith coming out of the door. Old
man English asked Smith if he had
not killed his son, to which Smith re-
piled that he did not know who it
was, but he certainly killed ninl The
old man then entered the house and
found his son lying in pool of blood
Smith hastily gathered up a few OF
his belongings and made his escape
The. police officers did not learn
of the shooting until p1idright. when
Officers Norton and Gildart went to
the scene About four O'Clock Mon
day morning, Officer Gildart heard
that Smith was securing New Town
looking for his woman with the In
tent to kill her The officer arrived
there just twenty minutes too late.
He questioned the negro at the house
where Smith was reported to have
been, and he told the officer that he
asked Smith WIG waszs1laot. as44s. ,,-.ss..leei
in the south part OF the town Ii
aid that Smith told nim that he did
not know who it was, that he nmgh,
have killed two, but he was sure he
'lilled one, and that he was looking
Tor the woman in New Town and
wanted To- kill her before he left
town. Saying this lie ran off before
he negro had hardly realized whal
had been told him.
Up to This time Smith had not beer
caught, and it is beiieved that he has
gone to some other city or town. He
was always known as a quiet and
'!y his overseer and Wtorkmen.
