Trouble is troubling the bootleg
gers. The Santa Fe railroad, which
as a common carrier, brings in the
majority of booze that enters this
fair city, has adopted rules and
regulations which require that all
booze not called for in fived ays be
returned to the original shipper
This in itself would not be so bad,
but the sheriff's office has taken
it upon itself to see that the booze
does stay in the freight office five
days. This makes it bad, very bad,
for both keeper and consumer.

Hoke Smith. He characterized mr. Smith
as so reckless and desperate. no. opA

He devoted his address to a review OF
Mr.. Smiths claims. he ridiculed dis
franchisement and said the people had
been misled about II. He denied Mr.. Smith
had anything to do with putting the
convicts OF the roads and said the leg
isIature was entitled to credit for this
step.
He appealed to the farmers about the
low price of cotton in 1908, saying Mr..
Smiths 1000. OOO-bale estimate put prices
down. A number of farmers were In the
audience, but failed to respond to this
appeal. His speech received a respectful

PRIZE CORN AT SHOW

About 1900 boys VINO are raising
patches of prize corn in various parts
of Georgia will display the yields OF the
crops at the corn show that is to be
held in Atlanta in November or Decem-
Der.
Professor Thomas A. Early, of the state
agricultural school at Athens, VINO mas
started a corn-raising contest among the
boys of the state, was in Atlanta Satur-
day morning and in a conference with
Walter G. Cooper. secretary Of the cham
Der of commerce, said that 1t Will be
practicable to have specimens Of the
corn raised by these bobs in this con-
test displayed in Atlanta. =
Professor Early has organized corn
clubs in about forty counties in pro-
noting the contrasting contest. The
boys competing in the contest will dis
play the corn they raise at local shows,
afterwards at the state fair at Macon,
then at the show in Atlanta. They may
also exhibit the yields of their crops at

ter which Atlanta Auxiliary No. 1, In

We are writing you in regard to the
stand taken by Governor Brown against
the Atlanta Auxiliary No. to the I. A.

You know the purpose of our organiza-
ton We are compelled to ask our
friends for donations at times and at one
time committee was appointed to So
licit subscriptions to be used by us.
We went first to Mr.. Hoke Smith,
whom we consider among our strongest
advocates of union labor in the south.
He headed our list and gave US a large
subscription. We finally reached the Of
nee OF Governor 6roWn' WHOM we sup
posed to be friendly to organized labor.
He refused our request so fatty that
the members of the committee were en-
barrassed. Among other things he point
ed to Mr. Smiths name and said:

ANY PAPER WITH SUCH A NAME AS
THAT ON IT.
Hoping that you may be of some ser

although IL has war measure, to raise money
TO support the federal army in the field and
tne war closed in 1885, thirty-five years ago,
we are stin harrassed and imposed upon by this
combination and partnership, which given enor-
nous profits to the liquor makers and puts
IL In their power to bulWark the business with
the support Of the government.
The government does not partnership with
any other business. conducted by money max
ers, and profit sharers And II is a notorious
fact that this internal revenue department
used sll the power Of the federal government
70 run down and Cypress the small distilers.
They filled the jails and penitentiaries of the
country and robbed women and children Of pro-
lection and food to live upon.
remember when the Atlanta jail was crowd
ed with these so-called criminals and when
tone women walked miles to carry home
peck Of meal 10 feed the helpless innocent
children, who had no mercy shown them, and
for what?
Simply that the manufacture Of intoxicants
might sell the same With enormous profits,
agreeing to pay the government so cents per
gallon when IL took two-thirds or more of
this 90 cents to pay the agents of the govern
ment. the gaugers and other -salaried men, in
the governments employ. 1t is this injustice
and unholy support and protection Of liquor
makers and their enormous gains. secured to
them by the government protection, which
protest against.
The state Of Georgia has prohibited the sale
Of the stuff, which pays the United States
government 90 cents on the gallon, as before
stated. This would seem to be an anomaly in
government, where the state puts ban on a
in congress, or Washington City. That's rob-
bling Peter to pay Paul with a vengeance, and
bears the mark Of deceit upon the very face
OF II.
And who will dare say that the state can
forbid the sale OF liquor and cannot forbid the
manufacture Of liquori If the sale can be
stopped where's the sense feasibility in
manufacturing a thing that cannot be sold? The
state has the same authority to control the
making rs II has the selling. One compile
meuts the other and when the manufacture is
curbed or stopned the sale will be nil.
You will notice dear reader that my cores
poudentE make loud assertions that prohibition
does not prohibit. II reminds me of the story
or parable an Beujamin's Pilgrims Progress.
The people wondered why the fire could not
be checked until they took look in the reer
and there they found stream OF oil that fed
the flame. and prevented the stoppage
How can the state be stopped 30 long as this
internal revenue system is feeding II from the
rear? As well talk about checking Niagara
Falls with broomstraws, or quenching Vesuvtus
with buckets Of water to suppose the sale
Of lIduor can be checked with this flood OF
LIQUOR coming in to swell the profits OF the
makers Of liquor.
am convinced that prohibition cannot sue
cesufullv probihit SO long as the government is
pa rtner in the manufacture.
