AUGUSTA, Ga, Jan. 6.-Nearly zoe
dealers in 'two.per-cent," a brewery
product, are directly interested in the
test case Of the "near:beer' TAX
which comes UP to-day. A heavy tax
has been imposed on the dealers in
"nearbeer." which beverage Is largely
sold in Georgia under the prohibition
regime, and the test case will have an
important bearing on the traffic.
The Georgia brand OF "near-beer''
looks like beer. tastes like beer,
smells like beer, Is made BY; the brew
cries and Ia put up in beer bottles.
Ye. It Is claimed that It contains less
than two per cent. alcohol and there
fore docs not lntoxlcate. 85.
Before the prohibition law went
into effect, about 50 betr saloons were
doing business in Augusta, whereas
at the present time only about 46, are
selling "near.beer." 1t will therefore
be seen that the sale OF the latter
variety is not nearly so extensive rs
the sale Of real beer. & 81
The brewers figure that man will
never take "near-beer," no matter
how excellent IT'S Legitimate quality,
If Ills possible for him to procure
the real thing And much OF the
latter is being Sold despite the pro-
hibiton law. and despite the fact that
many people have come to derive
limited satisfaction from the use Of
"near-beer."
Brewerif< in oher States SHIP real
beer to Georgia "blind tigers" Geor-
gln brewerles must, perforce. manu-
facthre none other than "near.beer,"
and this product. needless to say.
finds slow sale anywhere save in To-
call,les whtrc the prohibition law is
risidly enforced.
Brewerics In Georgia must now
produce "near!beer,' Or violate the
law. Although The quality Of ma
teria used In It's production Is. of
course, Inferior 10 that which is used
in making beer Of the real variety.
the aggregate cost OF production Is
practically the same. Maintenance
expenses at the large plants have
not decreased, and although near.
beer" Is sold for almost the same
price for higher class goods, this in
crease is overbalanced by the de-
crease in extent OF sales and The un-
diminished cost Of production.
1t is stated by a prominent local
brewer that there has thus far been
no organized movement among brew.
ers against the prohibition Law. but
that almost every plant in any Wise

O,ater)-At press time a member OF
the Dun.lam family said that the opin.
lon Of the family here in general Is
that tho telegram should have an.
nounced the death Of the father Of
the child instead Of the child. While
the message stated that Edgar aal
been killed. the fact that the message
was sent by MIRA. Book Instead Of Mr..
Book seems evident that a mistake
mas been made. Mr.. Book is employed
at the railroad and turns the switches
and such an accident could be more
easily reconclled as Detailing him
since the child does not walk and las
been a delicate little fellow from birth.
A long distance call ls expected at
five o'clock this evening when the
truth Of the sad message will be
learned.

The sad news was received here this

ALLEGED SMUGGLERS
TAKEN OFF THE ASIA
Father and Son Taken in Charge by
Federal officers as Illicit
Dope Importers.

Uncle Sam s long legal arm stretched
out yesterday, guided by United States
District Attorney Breckons and Uni
ted States Marshal Hendry and gather
ed in three Chinese members of the crew
of the Pacific Mail steamship Asia.
Later the law loosed its grasp on one
and retained but two, who were in the
custody of the federal officers when the
Asia departed for Japan and China yes
terday afternoon.
After a spectacular Identification by
Hawaiian stevedores the Chinese were
taken off the steamer, and will prob
ably be charged with smuggling opium
ashore here. Specifically, their offense
is that they supplied tins of opium to
Hawaiian stevedores working on the
Asia few weeks ago in this port, and
the stevedores, assisted by a Hawaiian
member of the immigration inspector IS
staff, got the opium ashore. custom IS
inspector attempted to hold up one Ha-
waiian taking the dope ashore. The
Hawaiian ran away but dropped three
tins. He fed to the mountains but in
two days came in and gave himself up.
His statements to the federal officers
disclosed an opium smuggling ring and
many arrests followed. The district at
torney played waiting game and when
the Asia came into port yesterday he
went aboard with some of the arrested
stevedores and some identifcations fol-
lowed. The first and second boatswains
were first taken in hand. Then there
was question as to whether they were
the right ones.
In order TO make sure, muster was
held little earlier than usual in the
afternoon. The district attorney and
marshal were there and they passed up
the line of Chinese and stevedore
finally picked out lamp trimmer. It
then turned out that the second boat
swain is the son of the lamp trimmer
who is rather aged. Two and two, ac-
cording to the district attorney, makes
four, and from a Sherlock Holmes or
Breckonsonian method of reasoning the
evidence bitches up pretty well when
both son and father are identified as
the dope sellers. Wong Ling Chow is
the first boatswain and Leong Lee the
second boatswain
