GEORGIA MORE DRY,
LncTsLAToR TAKES SHOT AT SOFT DRINks.
Introduces Ileasnre te Prohibit Sale of Anything Containing Trnce of AlcehOI--Mny Hit Soda
 VOuntnfns.

Atlanta, Ga, July 22--Determined to make Georgia 90 dry that even fruit syrups in which there is trace of al- cohol will bc contraband Tn this State. Representative Hooper Alexander of DeKalb County, introduced a Irohibi- tion measure in the House today. ,, It not only forbids the manufacture and sale of near beer now sold. but 1t expressly provides that all beverages containing even trace of alcohol shall not be sold in the state. E As result. the soft drink people are alarmed ss all fruit syruDs show . very small percentage sf alcohol. If the bill passes, 1t Is feared that even the drug store soda fountains will be put out of business.
 The measure is aimed mainly af what is termed the near beer" dealers. when the prohibition law was passed two years ago, 1t put under the han only .'intoxicating iiquors." Some court heid.that-a liquor was rot in- .oxicating unless 1t contained more than per cent. of alcohol. Nearly all the domestic beers, 1t was eJscov- cred, contained less. Hence, they have beeu sold freely all over the State snd d license of s25o a year assessed.
 The new bill set out. Whereas. the keeping or selling. of alcoholic bev- erages is hereby adjudged to be dan rerous to the peace and safety of the State" and proceeds to make 1t un- lawful to either buy or sell or even have in one's possession any iuch bev- craze. The bill does not fix the pen- afty' merely providing that those con- yicted of its violation shall be guilty of . misdemeanor.
 The House Temperance Committee decided unanimously to report favor ably the Alexander bill. and it appears by this action that the near beer people win have hard fight on their hands if they hope to defeat the pas- sage of this bill.

of the worst wind and rain storms last night and today that has ever wis., fted this section. The wind at times reached velocity of seventy miies an hour. Numerous small houses were overturned and in some instances. the inmates were slightly injured. but no fatalities are reported.
 One of the big electric lighting tow. CTS used to Illuminate this city. which stands 150 feet in the air, was blown over, and, falling on . small house. cut 1t in two. There were five persons in the house at the time. but none of them was even bruised.
 In the business section of Austin. plate glass windows were blown in. and inasmuch as terrific rain ac- companfed the storm. the water caused great damage to goods. Signs were blown down like SO much waste paper. Numerous houses were unroofed and trees and shrubbery were razed be- fore the high wind like cha6.
 While the city suffered . property loss estimated at between S6o.0oo and S75,000, this entire section from q crop standpoint. has been bensfted in a most marked degree by the storm. The cotton crop in Central. South and North Middle Texas was in distrsss- ing condition on account of the drought. Last nights rain extended from the gulf to the lower part of the Pan Handle. right through the cotton belt of Central and Middle East Texas, and farmers are elated over the prob. ability of good yields.

 The bathing pier and pavilion ct Syl- van Beach. which is the largest on the coast, barring those at Galveston. were wrecked.
 5 The half mile of pier leading to the pavilion was carried away. This was due as much to heavy timbers being thrown against the piiinG and knock ing them out as to the wind itself. Heavy timbers from the bulkhead be- yond the pavilion were thrown with ferrifc force. It will require many days to rebuild the half mile of pier leading from the shore to the bath house.
 ,The hix regatta buikhead. built at . cost of many hundreds of dollars. and lust completed at Sylvan Beach. was completely wrecked. It was the large tiuibers from this that were thrown by wind and wave against the bathing pavilion with disastrous results. FAe0sufe OraAh "ASVA1~s

MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED.
Bay Caty Was fin Path of StOrm and
 Suffered Much Damage.

Bay City, Tex. July 22-With mar tial law proclaimed, the city in dark ness. it's water supply cut of. and a lack of help to clear away the ruins Bay City tonight Is slowly recovering from the storm of yesterday which spent its fury upon this vicinity. .
 One life was lost, that of an infant of MT. Galloway, while others suffered more or less painful injuries by flying glass and falling debris.
 The property loss will total $260.000. which includes the damage to public works. which Is half the total. Esti- mates as to the crop damage Is impos- sible, although 1t is asserted that dam age to the rice crop, which Is flooded in places. will not exceed ten per cent.
 Bay City was apparently the center of the storm path. The wind. which began rising about o'clock in the morning, blew from the northwest un- til at 1i:3O o'clock a velocity of seventy miles was attained. At that hour the wind veered suddenly to due west and as suddenly increased in velocity to eighty and ninety miles an hour.
 During the ensuing two hours the greatest amount of damage was done. the storm continuing with unabating fury, shifting to the southwest and seeming to seek out the weak points of buildings which had resisted its att tack from other quarters.
