C. c. BROWN.

What are the facts about Georgia
and Atlanta under prohibition? The
records are interesting. Statewide
prohibition went into effect the first
OF January, 1908. The tax books of
Atlanta show an increase in taxable
values for 1908 over 1907 of more
than s5.00o.00O. The city's budget for
1908 was greater than for 1907. and.
despite the loss Of the saloon tax. the
income of the city for 1908 was more
than $6S,00o in excess of 1907. In
stead of deficit, the present admins
tration will leave a surplus.
There was a decrease in the num-
Der Of arrests in Atlanta last year. as
compared with 1907, of $50, and a
decrease OF cash collected through the
police court of more than $4,000"
Judge w. A. Covington, says:
Let it be said that when Gabriel
blows his horn, whether that event
happen next year or a thousand years
from now, IT will not wake up a single
place in Georgia where the sale of in
toxicants Is licensed by law. That kind
Of a thing has taken its place with
kings. with slavery, and with witch
craft prosecutions. AS a proof Of it,
no newspaper in the State and no poll
itician is to be found that thinks 9TH
erwise." y
Gov. Hoke Smiths statement:
Despite the fact that the prohibi-
ton law caused a loss to the treasury
Of $4,000 annually, and despite last
years panic, the State collected from
last years taxes over s500,0oo more
than It collected In December and the
early months of 1907 from taxes OF
1905.
This increase Of revenue came in
part from compelling railroad and
public service companies to pay more
nearly the amount of taxes which
they justly owed the State than they
paid before in pervious years.
THE tax returns already made in
dicate that from al ~a'orem taxes for
1908 we will collect IN December, 1908
and during the early months Of. 1909
$4,000 more than we did the year
pervious, so that next year the treas
ury should have to its credit between
100000 and 100000 from ad va
lorem taxes in excess of the amount
collected from the taxes of 1906.
This item not only wiped out the
$4,000 loss from liquor licenses, but
II gave balance in addition thereto.
We will this year pay $330,000 to the
public school in excess of any sum
paid in previous years.
Every obligation of the State has
been met this year. and more has
been paid toward public schools than
during any previous year."

They had struck inland from the
