 Prohibition in Atlanta? Well, there isn't any. AS to the laws effect on local bus- mess, that is debatabe question. But as to the temperance effects of the regu- lation of the sale of beer and whisky in Atlanta, to be perfectly candid. they are simply farcical.
 When the bill was passed and promptly signed by the governor, the prohibitionIsts went wild. There were parades of wom- en and children, day and night; calls on the governor; speeches before the monu- ment of Henry w. Grady. Meanwhile the saloon people sat as if stunned, almost incapable of realizing their position; for they had been legislated out of bussness before they knew what was going on. The bill was to take effect on January l, 1908, and did so. The saloons were c.osed all over the state. But not berore a wild orgy had taken place in the cry of Atlanta on December 80 and a. Every man who was in tho habit of taking his dram regularly. stocked mp on those two days buying his liquors and beer at great ly reduced prices from the expiring sa- looms.
 Very soon walking blind tigers began to be apprehended. Raids were also made, and arrests were followed by con
  ing the defendants over to tho nig-er courts One case, since used as precc- dent, was carried to the city court ana received a ruling there that the prohipi- ton bill did not specify fhe percentum of alcohol in a drink, but did speci1y tna. if sufficient t6 cause intoxication "hen drunk to excess, this alone would be just cause for conviction. This decision was upheld by the state court of appeals. The old saloon people, when that decision was announced and upheld, began to slt up and take notice.
 In the meantime, the Southern Express company, at it's special depot in Atlanta. was doing a rushing business, employing to 12 extra wagons daily in the deliv- cry of whisky\and beer.
 Az soon as the court of appeals up- held tho decision that 1t was not the per- centage of alcohol in a drink, but It's power to intoxicate, when drunk to ex- cess, that permitted or prohibited its sale

War on Gamblers.

Thrse young white men were arrested lastnfght by Officers Eubank and Wren of charge of gaming. They were lined slO each in the mayors court this morning. Chief of Police J. c. Jor- dan stated that he would wage relent- less war against the gambling frater- nity and that a number of young men who belong to the never work" brigade will have to move on to other fields or get work A distressing fea- ture is that some of those suspected of gambling are mere boys of good fam ilies. Chief Jordan has instructed his men to watch the places closely where gambling is suspected. He also has a number of young men under sur veilance.

Negro Killed By Rival.

Will Poole, alias Grip" a well-known negro, met his death thls morning at the hands of Lucius Patterson, negro. who made his escape. The killing occurred on Avenue near Fist street. Poole was killed with shotgun, which must have been held at short range, as a terrible wound was inflicted in his right side.
 The theory of the case is that Patter son was jealous of Poole, who 1t is said had been paying attention to Patterson's wife. Officer Crenshaw heard the shot. and on reaching the scene found Poole lying on the ground still alive. The officer called for the ambulance, but Poole died before reaching the hospital
 Coroner Brasher held an inquest this afternoon and as a result swore out a warrant before Judge c. F. Camp against Lucius Patterson. At a late hour he had not been apprehended

WAR ON YOUNG GAMBLERS

Ensley March 13.-(Special)-J II. Perkins, a member of the real estate firm of J. NJ. Perkins & Co.,, when asked his opinion in regard to the con- ditions in Ensley, said
 'The all absorbing topic in Ensley during the past few days has been the rumor that the steel mill would shut down. All other questions have been sidetracked, even the live issue of Greater Birmingham. The talk of shut ting down was general, but no one could give any authoritive statement regarding the same. The result of such talk has had a depressing effect on business and even though no reason was assigned the pessimists got busy and all kinds of dire disasters were predicted As to whether the mill will shut down or not is merely a matter of conjecture, for in accordance with the policy of the United States Steel corporation no inside information is given.
 So the rumors are certainly not au- thoritative The fact seems to be that the company is curtailing expenses and as the new work is completed is laying off men. This is a natural consequence and has happened time and again be- fore. The mill is running at this time, and in my humble judgment will con tinue to run.
 There have been several semi official statements made that the mill would continue in operation. I hope and be- lieye it will, so until the shut< down comes Chat is If it does c2sne) let us make the best of the situaAion and quit fndulging in these <pessimistic sur misings about Condition we cannot help or remeSs.'

PROHIBITION IN ATLANTA

and manufacture, the brewers took action, ard upon the local markets from Macon, Savannah, Atlanta and outside of the state there appeared "near-beer," which had the appearance of real beer, and was said to contain all its good quali- ties, but was notwithstanding. This near beer not only made a great hit in Att lanta and other Georgia cities, but fis sale grew to such an extent as to inter- fere with the express company's beer business, but not with it's whisky trade The old saloon houses, only a few Of which had been rented for other purposes, were TOW opened as near-beer saloons, in which the new connection was sold to ap- preciatve customers; and even at the soda water stands the near-beer was put on sale Simultaneously the number or "crunks' at the police court began to increase, simply because near-beer IS In reality nothing but real beer under an- other name Tho decision upheld by the court of appeals hit the Anti-Saloon league heavily and spoked its wheels.
 
 pou Dentist Making a Fortune.
 From the New York Press.
 The man with an idea Is the one who prospers in these days. An idea has been the making of a young man who starved for a few years waiting for pa- tients to come to his dental office up- town. Satisfied that he was in a field that was over-crowded, Le decided to strike out along a new line. He became a dog dentist Now he rolls in money, or has rolls of it. His office, luxuriously fitted up, is fin Fifth avenue. He Is kept busy and exacts big fees. A dog with an unsound tooth is an abomination. The pets of society women get far too much candy and that means a harvest for the lucky operator There are women who take their dogs around at regular intervals for the inspection of their teeth. One Boston bull of society has a gold crown. Boston bulls are poor represent atives of their kind when it comes to teeth, and they are most often in tho dental chair. But the terrier, of all va rieties. gets there, too, and the collie and the Pomeranian and the pug. Gold, silver and platinum are used for fillings; in fact the dogs are treated to the samo dental processes as human beings.

At THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Program Of Services for Next Sabbath Day
Class for Bible Study Organized.

The pastor of the Christian
church of this city has started
the movement and has organized
what is known in religious cir
cles as the Training for service"
class, the class having been or
ganized last Thursday night with
a mem bership of fifteen and with
fine prospects for a much larger
mem bership as the work pro
crosses.
Speaking of this class to the
News reporter Rev. Hutchinson
said AT the time of theorgan-
ization we had fifteen members
enrolled and considering the
great interest which has been
manifested in this work we be-
lieve that this is only the begin
ming. 1t is not necessary to say
very much concerning this move
ment as it is an international
training for service" work
which is held in common by all
religious bodies for all religious
papers have had their columns
decked with gems of truth CON
corning its Importance. Suffice
to say that the object of the work
is to give the lover of divine
truth a definite general concep-
ton of the Bible. Herbert Mon
myers Training for Service"
book is used by the class. 1t
contains fifty lessons. The class
meets on Friday evenings Of
each week. The public is cordi.
ally invited to come in and in
vestigate the work and if they
desire to do so, enroll. Anyone
may take up the work. "
Rev. Hutchinson also stated
that the congregation of his
church had decided to hold a
series of meetings beginning
about July -, and lasting for
about three weeks. Rev. b. G.
Reavis and his singer, Mr.. Rob
inson, are to conduct the servic-
es. These two noted men come
here from Missouri. Rev. Hutch
ison will make further an
nOuncements relative to this
protracted meeting later.
