Now that we have provided for state prohibition
the time will come quickly, it's duty of every
law abiding city to to it's strict enforcement.
The most uncomprOmising anti prohibitionist has
nothing to lose by strict enforcement of the state
prohibition law.
A large number of men who have opposed
city and county prohibition have always declared
themselves in favor of state prohibition.
Some of them, perhaps, were insincere, but an
insincere man afford to be consistent. We
hear men now claiming they would favor national
prohibition, while they express doubt about en-
forcing state prohibition and have great deal to
say about the advantage adjoining states have
over the prohibition state ect. 1t is the same old
excuse made over to fit the case-the same old eX-
cuse of an excuse
Lets try to see that state prohibition does pro

1t is a safe bet that the man who gives the
most advice has the least to show for his wisdom
Quitman Advertiser
Let's grant for the sake of argument that it is
true 1t is safe to guess if you are not encned to
gamble that the man who never gives advice is the
man who cares not baubee for his neighbOrs well
fare Selfshness is the most common of crimes,
there are men so selfish that they would not risk
suggestion even where they knew they might do
great good by offering advice. We have never be-
LEVIED that the man who has "least to show
for his wisdom" has least to be proud of any more
than we believe that man without enemies is to
be congratulated. Some of the worlds greatest
characters have little to show for their wisdom in
the sense that it is used in the above quotation.
Some of the men who deserve the greatest common
dation actually receive large share of condemna-
ton.
We are with the man who gives advice if the
advice is good.
He is much more useful citizen than man
who shuts himself up like terripen in his shell,
and lives to himself and for himself alone.

Judge Covngton of Colquitt, who is chairman
of the railroad committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives says that one of the greatest speeches
he heard at this session was made by President ii.
NJ. Atkinson of the Atlanta Birmingham Allan
tic. Mr.. Atkinson appeared before committee in
person and presented his side of the railroad egis
lation Mr. Atkinson told of his coming to Geor-
gia nearly twenty years ago, investing all his
money here, marrying Georgia girl and entering
heart and soul into the work of developing the
state. He reviewed the fight he has made for de-
veopment, the campaigns he has conducted to
raise money to put thrO his various enterprise and
out lined his policy for the future. He declared
that he has preached the gospel of development
ever since he came to the state and that wherever
he went he told of the great state of Georgia and
sung the praises of her people 1t was the passion
of his life to develop the state commercially and
have part in making it what nature has made it
possible for it to be- He was ambitious to build
up great property rather than to accumulate
great wealth. but it was impossible to secure the
money to put thro such an enterprise and such
