THE BREWERS ON GEORGIA

We are beginning to suspect that
the thing that makes Milwaukee ia
nous is very much distressed over
the forlorn state into which Georgia
has fallen. kilograms continue to
pour out from the beer metropolis of
the great Northwest, enlightening the
country as to the sad state of affairs
in the once prosperous, happy and
progressive Empire State of the
South. Grass is growing in the
streets of Savannah, Atlanta is about
to gather hay crop on Whitehall
street, peach trees are about to be
put out in the centre of Jackson
street, Americas, and blight and
dry rot has settled on the state that
only the free admission of Milwau-
KEGS finest in unlimited quantities can
stay.
Ex-Gov Peck has not yet recovered
from the nightmare that came over
him when he travelled through Geor-
gia by night and looked out on the
blackness of the landscape Like the
Rev. Len Br0ughton he personally
investigated" conditions without ever
looking into them At first his let
tiers were all about the business de-
preston that had settled upon the
state and it's former thriving COM
munities. The prompt regulations
Of these libels soon convinced the
Brewers Association that the COVER
nor had got off the track. So now
recourse has been had to a new
expedient. Dryness was killing Geor-
gia a few weeks back, but now the
Brewers Association would have us
believe that it is the reverse that is
damning Georgia throughout the
length and breadth of the state Elk
cessive wetness is now held up as
the direful result of the prohibition
law.
A long telegram, with the inevitable
Milwaukee date line, tells the public,
through the medium of the New
York World and other papers, that
Georgia is actually soaked, 50 full of
rum that like an overcharged sponge
it cannot hold a drop more A report
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1908-06-11

is being prepared by the brewers that
will prove it. 1t Will show that train
loads of liquors are constantly pouring
into the state, that in addition the
people are taking to dopes, and alto
gether ruin and desolation threaten
once happy community.
While we are not especially smit-
ten with prohibition, the Brew
ers Association is only doing itself
harm by sending out such rot as is
being disseminated from Milwaukee.
Georgia is not ON the bum as the re-
suit of prohibition. There are dry
: spots in it, and there are wet spots,
but there are no spots where bust
ness depression can be found so keen
as the Milwaukee dispatches make it,
and where times are hard the absence
of saloons is not the responsible fac
tor
We are a sensible people down here,
open to argument--the recent cleo
ton testified to that-but it takes
something more than the empty Vap-
orings of a hired agent like old Peck
to make us believe that Georgia is
rum soaked from end to end at the
present time To the contrary, it
is a safe assertion that not half as
much liquor of any and all kinds, is
being consumed as a year ago at this
time. In some of the cities it may
be possible to get drinks without trou-
BILE but in the great mass of places it
is exceedingly difficult The police
reports show less arrests for drunk
eness, and in the country districts
there is a noticeable decrease in the
use of liquor among the negroes.
1t is not easy for them to get it
now, and the bulk of them simply
haven't got two or three dollars to
send out of the state for a supply
Prohibition does not entirely prohibit,
the law is too drastic as it stands,
but there is no questioning that it
has reduced the consumption Of
strong drink in rural Georgia.

Oriental Physician Says z,OOO,-
900 Natives Have Died of
Disease in Ten Years

T. A. Broker, Hindu doctor from
Bombay. who arrived here yesterday
on the liner Asia, says that the bu-
bonic plague has claimed more than
100000 victims in India in the last
10 years. The death rate in Bombay
a few months ago, he says, was 800 a
day.

of this country knew the plague as
we do in India they would listen to

in the last 10 years, and shortly be-
fore I left Bombay the death rate
in that city was 300 day.

FARMERS SPECIAL
AWAKENS INTEREST
Agriculturists Turn Out in
Large Numbers to Hear
Lectures OF Experts
Railroad Plans to Have Train
Traverse Entire State Giving
Instructions to Ranchers

The farmers special which the
Southern Pacific has sent out through
the Sacramento valley has attracted
much attention wherever it has stopped
and G. w. Luce, general freight agent
of the company, in telegraphic re-
port says that nothing has ever created
as much OF q sensation as this traln
1t is the policy of the railroad COM
pany to have this train traverse the
entire state and have lectures deliv-
cred en- route on all topics connected
with the agricultural industry.
Both universities have entered
heartily into the scheme and are CO.
operating with the Southern Pacific in
giving a series of lectures.
This scheme was first tried in the
northwest, along the Hill lines, and
was found to be of great assistance to
farmers who are distant from large
centers and are unable to keep in touch
with the latest remedies for the fight
ing of pests and the newest discoveries
to assist in the raising of large crops.
The train started out of Sacramento
last Wednesday and at Chico the en-
tire country turned out to meet. it
Masonic hall, which was provided for
the purpose of holding the lecture, was
unable to accommodate the crowd
while both the horticultural and agri-
cultural exhibit cars were crowded.
The students from the state normal
school attended the meeting and
showed much appreciation of the differ
ent exhibits.
The special train was at Anderson
Friday and a large crowd attended the
lectures. At Tehama both exhibit cars
were crowded with farmers. The party
divided at this point some of the
speakers remaining for the lecture in
the evening and the remainder return
ing TO Red Bluff, where they were
greeted by a most appreciative audi
ence at the courthouse
Practical talks were made by Pro-
fessor Mack, veterinary OF the Univer-
sity of Nevada; Professor Babcock of
the University of California; o. E.
Bremner, on orchard diseases and in
sects, and other members of the party
on the value and necessity of intro
ducing modern methods of farming and
fruit growing.
G. w. Luce made short talk touch
ing on the interest the railroad COM
pany has in the upbuilding of the diff
ferent communities along its lines.
