There has been a rumor current that
this road would be extended to this

may be substantial foundation for the

made an important link in that long

DRY TOWNS UNDER PROHIBI-
TTnN

cal campaign, and all the Atlanta pa
pers say that the eyes Of the country
are upon that city. The eyes Of the
country are upon Atlanta only because
1t Is the victim of some grotesque leg
islation, and in Atlanta one can see
evidence Of the success of prohibition
as a moral agent.
One Of the candidates for mayor of
Atlanta, nominated by the regular
Democratic primary got drunk on
whiskey bought in prohibition Atlanta
and made a spectacle Of himself on
the public thoroughfare.
In order to conceal the hypocrisy of
the claims of those who insist that
prohibition has worked a great moral
uplift In Atlanta. it was insisted that
another candidate should be brought
out against Woodward. In the mean
time the near-beer saloons have been
ordered closed for election day. On
that day one cannot get on even
near drunk.
superior court in Georgia has just
decided that the near-beer saloons do
not violate the prohibition law and
Georgia can therefore have prolIpi-
ton under the law and drunkenness
under the law at the same time.
In the clubs of Atlanta more whis-
key is being drunk than ever was be-
fore. More whiskey is being taken tc
the homes of citizens than ever was
before.
The blind tigers are doing a land Of
flee business and the near-beer saloons
sell decotion that is poor beer, but
contains all the elements that go to
make a sickening drunk.
Georgia has driven the sale Of pure
brands Of whiskey out of saloons. The
traffic Is transferred to the clubs and
from the wholesalers to the consumers
direct in his home and into the ten
derloin, where law never reigned and
never will so long as men hold to the
false views that certain forms of evil
are necessary evils.
In place Of the saloons a number Of
joints have sprung up where vile de-
coctions are sold. Some Of them have
enough alcohol in them to produce
drunkenness. Others have enough caf-
feline. hasheesh. or other narcotic stim-
uiants to produce madness.
In the city Of Savannah the form of
the law even has been ignored. The
saloons run In Savannah as they al
ways did. They pay the State no Ii
cense. because the State is forced to
ignore their existence. They pay a
monthly fine to the city authorities,
and that ends their contributions to
the government for the privilege of
existence.
A man journeyed from Atlanta to
Memphis few days ago through Bir-
mingham. Moved by the quality in
men which seeks to secure something
that is forbidden he asked the porter
on the train II 1t were possible to buy
any liquor In Birmingham. The por-
ter said 1t was. During the is min
ute stop the porter went out and
brought 1t to the train. The brand
on the bottle was that of a reputable
distiller. Close examination showed
that the liquor manufactured by the
distiller had been removed from the
bottle and in it's place n nerve-racking,
brain-killing compound had been put.
And there are some people in Ten
nessee who are seeking to place Mem

ANOTHER VICTORY.
Sumter High School Defeated Darling.
ton I'm q Great Game-ScOre 8 to O.

ton I'm q Great Game-Score tn O.
After long series of victories in
which the goal line OF the Sum-
ter High Schools football team has
never been crossed, the little Game
Cocks wound up their season Fri
day In splendid game with Darling
ton. winning by the close score of s
to o. This score runs the total num-
ber OF points scored by the local boys
up to s5 to their opponents GA rec
ord to be Justly proud of.
In Fridays game the home boys
were greatly outweighed by the Oar
linyton team. which was not high
school organization at all. The Sum-
ter boys left with certificate from
Prof. Edmunds to the effect that ev-
cry man on the team was a bona fide
student OF the city school, except Col
lins. who had until recently been in
attendance upon the school and had
been a member Of the football team
since its organization. There was no
getting a like certificate from the prfh-
cipal OF the Darlington school. Never
theless the Sumter boys went into the
game. and their splendid training and
coaching overcome the other obstacles.
In the first part of the game, the
Game Cocks fairly took their adver-
saries off their feet, hitting the line
for long gains, and sweeping around
the ends for substantial distance. The
forward pass and onside kicks were
worked with difficulty owing to the
condition of the ball with which they
were forced to play. After twelve
minutes of actual play Davis carried
the ball over for touchdown; no goal
was kicked. Score: Sumter 5. Dar-
lington o.
In the second half both teams came
dangerously near scoring. The Sum-
ter boys had a lot of annoyances to
contend with, which tended to demor-
alize their play, but they kept to-
gether nicely. were at all times cool
and collected, and 1t was principally
through the display Of those qualities
with a little determination thrown in
that enabled them to hold Darlington
scoreless on their own grounds. The
game ended with the score the same
as II was at the conclusion OF the first
half.
N. Dick played q conspicuously brill
liant game. His recovering Of fum-
bled punt was feature, and largely
responsible for the victory. He, also,
made superb tackle. when a Darling
ton man had clear field for a touch
down. Collins. as usual. was In the
game with vim. In the last minute
of play. with the ball on Sumter's ten
yard line. he blocked a pass from the
quarter back to the right half back
Oven falling on the ball, thus giving
Sumter possession OF the bail when
the whistle blew ending the game.
The entire team played superbly. every
man was In the game with all his et-
fort. and 1t Is not at all surprising that
a team with such wonderful spirit
and pride cannot be scored against,
Sumter Is proud Of her High School
boys.
