COLUMBUS. GA, April s7.-T'he great
Transformation of the South in forty
years from a purely agricultural region
into enc OF the great manufacturing sec
lions Of the Union is well illustrated by
the case of Columbus. a typical South
arn city. located in the heart of Dixie
II any one city could have been regarded
MS peculiarly representative OF the old
South, that city was Columbus, for 1t
was this city that sent to the front q
greater number OF Confederate soldiers
than any other place in the South, popu-
1ation considered; 1t was ut this city
that the last BATTLE of the Civil war
east OF the Mississippi River was fought,
and 1t was N Columbus that the now
widely observed custom of the Confed-
crate Memorial Day originated. Yestcr-
day was the forty-first anniversary of
the first Southern memorial day. and
pursuant to the old custom practically
the entire population of the city at
tended the memorial exercises and after
wards placed flowers on the graves of
the Southern dead. 50 that X was lit
orally under floral mounds that the dead
lay sleeping. 1t Is doubtful IL there is
another city in the entire South in which
the custom of the Confederate Memorial
Day is observed more generally, or with
more lpCIlUS- IL Is, lHittu- ~ MY SCI
apart to the memory OF the gallant Con-
federatc soldiers and sailors. and is oh
served by all classes of citizens and
business institutions.
That such a typieally Southern city as
Columbus-Southern in sentiment, lin
geographical location and in every other
respect-should develop from mere
commercial town, with only few manu-
factories of any class. to the point where
.eThe Lowell of the South and THE
Electric City of the South" are now
its popular titles, is significant OF the
industrial development OF the whole
South, although ii is matter OF fact
1t is more pronounced here than in the
average city in Dixie. This is not UNI
natural however. as the immense water
power OF the Chattuhoochee River at
this point makes this Il logical loca-
ton for factories, and especially since
the development of this power into
electrical energy on Il gigantic scale,
has been begun by the Columbus Power
Company, and numerous factories are
already using the cheap electric cur
rent created by the force OF the fall
Ing waters The two or three cotton
mills of ante ellum days have been
succeeded by Il large number of fac
tories making a great variety OF pro-
ducts. The cotton manufacturing in
terests here. while vast. form only one
feature of the industrial enterprises at
Columbus. Goods made in this city are
sold around the globe.

Wonderful Increase at Home.

The correspondence between the Bu-
reau OF Statistics and the wine importers,
dealers and producers IN the United
States indicates that the number oil
American producers of champagne has
quadrupled in recent years. and that the
quantity produced has more than quad
rupled within Il decade. While the cen-
sus does not separate its record of wine
production into the various classes. the
opinion of the wine manufacturers, as
gathered from correspondence by the Blu
reau of Statistics. indicates that the
resent production of champagne fer
mented in the bottle is, as above lndi-'
Gated, more than two million bottles per
annum. while certain manufacturers who
have given the subject very careful at
tention estimate tho number as high as
three million bottles OF the genuine ar
ticle. In addition to this. large guam
titles OF sparkling wines. which are rem
dered erfervescent by being artiflcially
charged with carbonic-acid gas, are also
put upon the market; but these are not
included In the estimate of upward OF
two million bottles of genuine Cham
payne" wine annually produced In the

COUNCILMEN WARNED
TO KEEP HANDS OFF
LIQUOR AMENDMENT
BORDWELL SUSTATNS INJUNCTION
Licenses Will Not Be So Easily Granted as Council
Had Intended They Should Be and Case
Must Be Settled Before 1t Can Be
Subject of Further Legislation

Judge Walter Bordwell In department
of the superior court yesterday hand
ed down n decision sustaining the In
junction proceedings against the "shi-
nannigan" liquor game of the retiring
council and by ordering both the new
and old councilmen to keep their hands
off the ordinance until at some final
time the case could be taken into court
for final decision.
The people of Los Angeles have been
waiting patiently for the verdict of the
court and particularly for Judge Bord-
wells decision, for Judge Bordwell has
handled probably all the liquor cases
in the courts for the past year. When
1t came to a question of the city police
commission trying to play favorites by
granting and annulling various liquor
licenses at it's pleasure without any
charges being preferred Judge Bord-
we'll decided in favor of the men who
had been ousted. When the question
of the Maier-Zobelein fight came before
him Judge Bordwell decided the case
according to its legal strength. So
that when the amendment to the liquor
ordinance question came up before him
both liquor interests and the people
were content to wait for his decision,
for they knew it would be safe and
solid both legally and morally.
force the liquor amendments down the
peoples throats, no matter how they
choked, Is well known; every one is
familiar with the raw methods of the
expiring council, and even when the
case was taken into court attorneys
for the council and the liquor interests
had no shame in saying that the
amendment had been passed under the
emergency act simply to outgeneral
the referendum.
The retiring council will have no
further chance at the kind of a law
it so readily fathered. Even the
new councilmen will have but little
chance to play with the amendment,
for Judge Bordwell yesterday in his
decision warned them that if they in
any way interfere until the courts have
settled the case they may know what
to expect
The Decision
Following is a portion Of Judge Bord-
wells decisions:
"By this action the plaintiffs, who are
citizens, taxpayers and electors of the
city of Los Angeles, seek the judgment
of this court enjoining defendants, who
are members of the common council,
the mayor and clerk of said city, from
