The Anti Saloon League is still in business
and will hold an important two days convention
at Macon Thursday and Friday.
One Of the moves that will be taken at the
convention will be one to further the enforce
ment of the law, and it is the plan to have
two men in the field to keep acquainted with
the situation and report to the league
Much business will be disposed of and the
convention will have large attendance.
rul for Fitzgerald
In estimating the years loss of revenue conse
quent upon prohibition the Mayor of Albany
in his annual message mentions two items of police
court revenue.
Drunk $2,65O.o0
Drunk and disordery 2,575.O0
Total 5,225,00
1t is safe to estimate that each drunk costs as
much as the fine And that not moro than one
drunk in ten gets into police court And that
not more than one man who drinks get drunk
every time he drinks. And that al of them arc
damaged ten times as much morally, physically,
and financially as the amount of his line i'll police
court and that his example before men and III
fuence on the rising generation are ten times
greater than all the money value we have taken in
to this calculation. Then we begin to realize the
great saving to Albany and the surrounding count
nv and the great blessing to humanity that prohi-
bition is proving to be by the Mayors frank state

iloUnced that he will not again, Editor Mercer
has en- ambition to be his successor and he will be
right in among the winners if he doesn't win hands
down. His reputation extends from end of the
state to the other and he has been on the winning
side in Georgia politics the past few years. VIC
are quite sure the newspapers of the state will
him all the publicity his case demands, and he has
friends in most of the counties who will personally
look after his interests.
''There is going to be something doing by the
Prison Commissioner in the next few weeks-if we
properly interpret the signs of the times. There
will have to be cleaning up, and in fact this has
already started. We predict that will never stop
until the whole convict system has been revolu'
tiopized. We think the people of Georgia will not
much longer stand for the present system of leas-
ing, subleasng and selling into slavery which re-
suits in nhuman treatment often and quite as often
in the escape of the worst of the criminals.
EMercer is a man that can be depended on to
stand for the square thing when the time comes
and he will stand like stone wall when he gets
into the fight and once takes stand"

GAL TO RECEIVE OVER COFFEE POTS.


The cVlizng influences of prohibition are far
reaching indeed When the orator pictures the
contrast between the rum cursed home and fam
ily of the inebriate and the beauties and virtues
of the home free from the blight of intemperancc,
and tells in forsenic language of the contrast be-
tween sobriety and temperance, he falls far short
of the measure of good to be accomplished by ban
shing John Barleycorn.
In a thousand unforeseen ways these advan.
tages crop out
An Atlanta paper relates how the Piedmont
bar is to be transformed into dining room:
"The fate of the Gal in the Fountain is at
room.
''In the space formerly occupied by the Pied
mont Hotel bar coffee room will be opened Thurs
day, and for the first time ladies may view the
celebrated nymph with her garland OF muscadines,
who figured so prominently in a political war some
months ago.
''And it should be stated once for all that the
young lady has been basely slandered in picture,
prose and poetry as to her raiment, which is not
so scanty as the cartoonists would lead one to be-
lieve, but is in truth very modest toilet.
''Like many another, the Gal in the Fountain
will completely reform, hereafter presiding not
over convival and bibulous performances, but over
tho dspensation of coffee, tea, chocolate sand
wiches and the like"
