The only thing that prevents pro-
hibition from prohibiting in Georgia
is the sale and use Of liquor in Geor-
gia Aside from this defect it would
be cautiously critical to point out
any additional flaws.
The prohibitionists admit that pro-
hibition is not preventing the use of
an enormous amount of liquor.
But give 1t a chance" they say
ut will come out all right in the long
run"
This "long run" talk, in view Of
the actual conditions, puts one in
| mind of the farmer who yoked him
self up with calf. The calf went
bucking and bawling down steep
to the calf: "If something don't stop
us, We'll break our dang necks."
Here are the official figures show
ing the rate at which Augusta and
prohibition are running down hill, as
! proven by the number of arrests for
drunkenness:

In 1903 when prohibition was new
there was a falling off in the mum
Der of drunks, but in 1909 the condi
tions are almost exactly the same al
they were in 1907.
Before prohibition went into effec
there were about 100 licensed sa
looms in Augusta. There are now 6.
near-beer places.
1t is clear therefore that Augusti
is in the same fix with 81 prohibition
joints as she was with 100 licensed
saloons.
But the near-beeF places are no
to be held responsible for all of tn,

Special to the Democrat.

SpeCldl TO Ine DeulOCIdL'
Augusta, Ga, April 14-Conditions
in Georgia remind the observer Of
the story Of the man who got all of
his friends to assist him financially
in perfecting a perpetual motion ma
chine. The man made great promises
and hopes ran high. Finally, the in
yentor called the investors in and
displayed his Contrivance.
Friends" said he, "here is the
perpetual motion machine, something
that has been sought for in vain
through all the ages. No one but o
knave or a fool will deny that a per
petual motion machine is what we
all need to remove all the cares and
worries of life. However, you can
not expect absolute perfection on
this earth and in all frankness l an
going to tell you that there is bu
one little flaw in my machine.
shall leave it to you to remove tina
flaw. The only thing this machine
needs is something to keep thu

The fact is that prohibition has
created a special place for the negro
boot.legger. The negro caters to the
transient trade and to the wants Of
those to whom the near beer houses
are afraid to sell.
Real beer is sold openly but in
Georgia the stranger must rely main
ly on the negro for whisky. Resi-
dents can get anything they want IL
they are regarded as SAFE" but the
transient is looked upon with dis
trust and he must have the pass
word or at least know the high
sign
The boys buy from the boot-leggers
because they cannot obtain whisky,
as a rule, from the near beer estab-
lishments. The drunkards patronize
the boot-legger because he can sell
them so-called whisky by the drink
for nickel
1t is no exaggeration to say that
Georgia is sick and tired of prohibit
ton. There rs a strong and wide
spread sentiment in favor of discard
ing prohibition and adopting sys-
TEN of regulation that will curtail
the abuses that prevail.
It is generally believed that the
legislature, which meets in June, will
make radical changes in the law.
A return to the saloon system as II
existed before prohibition law went
into effect is not expected. But 1t is
believed that a majority of the legis
lature, house and senate, are in ia.

sale of alcoholic beverages in origi
nal packages and permitting the sale

The South Clifton School.

Miss Bostick, principal of the South Clifton school, reports that there are at present about 22O pupils enrolled in her school and some of the rooms are crowded. The present enroll ment is already greater than it was last year and prospects for a most successful term was never brighter As a result of the increase it has been necessa ry for the trustees to finish one of the rooms in the upper story of the school house. The five teachers employed in the South Cliff ton district have as many pupils as they can conveniently take care of and it seems possible that more help will be needed before the term closes.
 Like the North Clifton district, the South Clifton attendance is rapidly increasing each year. AS the teach CTS have announced their intention to give more attention to average at tendance this termA a better record will be made this year than ever be- sore in the history of Clifton.

A Bad Accident.

On last Monday evening Chase creek was the scene of most uufor- tunate accident in which the nine year-old son of Jesus Vega was the victim. The Lines Dairy wagon was coming down the street. when the boy caught on the back end to steal a ride. As he swung his body under the wagon his left foot Slipped into the wheel and his leg was horribly mangled. The milk wagon is boxed affair and the driver did not hear the boys cries for help. J. c. Gatti saw the accident and ran over to the wagon and grabbed the wheel. This attracted the attention of the driver, who stopped just in time to save the boys life. The little fellow was ex- tricated from the wheel and immed- lately removed to the hospital for medical treatment. Tie driver was in no way responsible for the acci- dent. Tn fact he had used his whip many times to persuade the boys not to ride on the wagon.
 This accident should be warning to other boys who have contracted the habit of catching onto every wagon that passes along: It is really a wonder that more of them are not crinnled3Oo; 5Fe 3nS -oa1SVos s-5

BIG SHIPMENT OF CATTLE.
A Train Load Sent Out This Week to

During the past few months repre- sentatives of the packing houses at Kansas City have secured the cattle ranches of this section and as a re- suit they purchased something from practically every cattleman, making in the aggregate solid train load of bulls and COWS. For-a- week punches had been arriving and assembling at the stock yards below Clifton. There were nine carloads and a total of about $50 head were shipped. The most of this bunch will probably be back to us within a short time as corned, and dried beef. All of the cattlemen succeededsin clean ing up large amount of stock that were. not desirable for stock raising purposes. s-..-s -..,-.,-

 'Two Old Sports" Tuesday evening, "Variety Isle" last night and will close their engagement here with an- other good show tonight. For the first time for many months every re- served seat in the opera house was sold and the company gave equally as good satisfaction as upon their first visit here last season. Last night the attendance was good. If you are looking for good show and a hearty laugh just take in the show and digest some of the wit and humor that they spring.

FL Paso to Lift the Ball Lid.

It is understood that the base ball committee of the Fl Paso fair be- came ashamed of itself and has raised the lid on the big tournament by cut ting out the high entrance fee and permitting more teams to compete for the prize. Fl Paso and one of the crack teams that have entered the contest played couple games lastwee and in each game Fl Paso made in the neighborhood of twenty runs. These games disgusted the fans of that city and they decided that some of the Arizona boys should be allowed to play base ball that is base ball. Owing to the lateness of the date it will be impossible for all of the Arizona towns to form teams, but she will be represented by several good aggregations. Clifton is now out of the race and will not get back this season.

The Uniform Rank.

The local Knight of Pythias lodge has been discussing the. organization of company of Uniform Rank for some time past, which will be quite a novelty for Clifton. Several com panies have recently been organized in the territory and the workiis soon to produce large number off soldier boys for drilling purposes only.
 Dan Eylar, who has for years been a member of the Uniform Rank, has applied to headquarters for a,warrant for the organization of the local com pany. It is anticipated to. secure as many members from Moreuci and Metcalf as possible, in. order to make the Clifton company the largest in the territory. Nearly all of the mem bers of the local lodge have expressed their desire to join the company. The Uniform Rank is one of the great attractions of the Knight of Pythias order in the eastern cities.

BISBEE WINS TWO.
MOrenci Wins One and Gets a Double
 Shut..Out,

The reorganized ball team of Bis
 bee visited this district last week and
 made things rather interesting for the crack Morenci team, winning two games from them and giving them a mighty close call for the third. Both of the games won by Bisbee were shut-outs for Morenci, the first game resulting Morenci O, Bisbee 8 at Cliff ton; the second Morenci ', Bisbee 6 at Morenci; and the third Morenci O, Bisbee ' at Morenci.
 Both teams came down from Nc renci Saturday afternoon and opened the series on the local diamond. Bis bee was next to the fact that Clifton had Scanlon staked out in the brush and the manager of the visitors realized that he would be of some benefit. He secured Scanlon to heave a few over for his team, with the re- suit that the crack Morenci team only landed for four scattered hits, which is aremarkably good record for any pitcher who has not worked for some time. The fact that Robbie only struck out two men illustrates that the Bisbee team gave him ex- cellent support and also pulled off little stick work, which, aided by the throwing away of the ball on the part of the Morenci pitcher, netted the first two runs. And when Wynne tried to catch a-ball on the back of his7mit which was thrown from the outfield, the third run was tallied. The game was full of exciting plays and neither side should have scored up to the close of the ninth inning. The Morenci club has a first-class team, of course, but we doubt if the present lineup will ever play as good ball as their former team. They pulled off some of the poorest base running ever seen on the local diamond and but for this fact they could easily have scored a few runs and possibly won the game.
 Morenci will have to hook up a lot if she wins anything at the Fl Paso tournament. The trouble with the Morenci team now is that the boys have not played together. AS in- dividuals they all seem to be good, but are not working together. As hitters they ought to make good after becoming accustomed to the glare of the Arizona sun.

Dr. Burtch has been in the valley all week and upon his return it will be learned what the trouble is. So far but few deaths have been reported.
