Georgia's Prohibition Law.

The prohibition law of Georgia is very
severe. 1t does not prohibit the keeping
or the consumption of liquors in private
houses, but it prohibits the manufacture.

keeping or furnishing at public places
or at places of business any alcoholic.

bitters or other drinks which. If drunk to
excess. will produce intoXicat on
The drug store trade is rest ricted by
rigid rules. and is limited to pure alcohol
upon written prescriptions of a regular
practlcins physician stating that the
same is necessary for the alienation or
cure of illness The name and address
CT the patient must be included and the
prescription must be fled in the county
courthouse within ten days after il has
been filed All such, prescript ;ons are
open to public inspection. SO that any
person can ascertain at any time whether
the law Is being violated No prescrip-
ton can be refiled no physician who
owns or has an interest in a drug store
can fill his own prescriptions and it is a
m!sdemeanor for any one 10 use any por-
don OF the alcohol furnished for any plIr-
pose except that named in the prescrip-
ton.
Before the prohibition law went into eff
feet the government Of the United States
had issued 2o15 internal revenue licenses
for the manufacture and sale Of Liquor in
Georg a. all of which expire July next.
OF these 1863 were for retail dealers. so
for wholesale dealers. 20 for rectifiers
2i5 for retail dealers in malt and ~ for
wholesale dealers in malt
At the same time the state of Georgia
issued so licenses of all classes. pre-
bly, TO the same persons. This shows
that 9in persons were selling liquor in the
state without paying the $500 tax re-
quired by the state law of every dealer.
1t is presumed that the greater part of
these were druggists. who are required
to take out special licenses by the gov
eminent of the United States at cost of
so each, but would not pay the $500 tax

The Importation of Liquor.

Nor is there any difference of opinion
as TO the amount of liquor purchased by
Augusta people at the official dispensary
on the South Carolina side of the river
And the opponents of prohibition are
willing to concede that whatever drunk
enEtSS and disorder now occurs is due
to liquor purchased at that place. The
Savannah river is not a wide stream
The bridge across it into South Carolina
is continuation of one of the streets
through portion of the city chief!
inha bited by colored people The stree
cars run frequently and always stop a,
the dispensary. where they drop about
| halt their passengers coming and going
and pick up as many more. who carry
travelling bags. suit cases. baskets anG
mysterious packages under their arms
Few respectable people patronize the dis
pensary. No gentleman would perm
himself to I've seen entering or coming
from the pea. The upper classes OF
Augusta obtain whatever liquor they con
sumo by express from Chattanooga. Gin.
cinnati. Louisville. Baltimore and New
York. and order it by the case. The news
papers contain advertise mentS of deal
ers in other cities with price lists OF
wines. WHISTLES and other drinks. and
the express business has increased very
largely since the prohibition law went
into effect. On some of the railroad
trains an extra express car is hauled
which contains only liquors. Formerly
they were carried in jugs. bottles and
in every other kind of package ina gina BILE
but for economical rather than moral
reasons the express companies will NJ
longer handle jugs bottles unless they
are packed in wooden cases. This makes
Il little more difficult for the thirst y
people of Georgia to obtain supply
They are then required to buy by the
case and many of them cannot afford
10 advance SO much money
\ gentleman from Macon. Ga. told
me that the express office in that city
handled la.I52 packages of liquor chiefly
from Jacksonville. between the LIST OF
January, when the law went into effect
and the list of March.
