THE ATTACK FAILED
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
THE CONSTITUTIONAL ATTACK
MADE ON PROHIBITION LAW
BY WHITNEY is NOT VALID.

In the case of Whitney VS., the
State, the supreme court in Atlanta
yesterday held that the allegations
of the plaintiff that the prohibition
law as enacted on August 6, 1907
is unconstitutional on several ground
were not valid.
This decision, so it is said, practi-
cally puts an end to all attacks on
the constitutionality of the law.
The main basis of the suit was the
alleged difference in the bills passed
by the senate and the house. The pc
pitioner alleged that the bill was
passed first by the senate, then sent
to the house, where it was amended
in several particulars. 1t was claim
ed that when the amended bill was
returned to the senate that body
changed the phraseology of certain
sections referring to holding malt or
spurious liquors in a place of busi-
ness.
1t was claimed that this violated
article 3, section Z, paragraph 4, of
the constitution, which provides that
before bill shall become law, the
same bill shall pass both houses of
the general assembly
1t was further alleged that the pro-
hiiition bill violated article 8, sections
1 and of the constitution, providing
that the state shall maintain certain
common schools and that these
schools shall receive a portion of the
revenue derived by the state through
the taxation cn the sale of malt and
spurious liquors.

WITHDRAWS FROM
GOVERNOR RACE
SAYS THAT EVEN NOW THERE
is A HOPE LEFT THAT HIS
CANDIDACY WILL ACCOMPLISH
PURPOSE INTENDED.

Atlanta, July 14.-Former attorney
general John G. Hart, who announc-
ed for governor about two weeks ago
late this afternoon, withdrew from
the race.
The withdrawal of Judge Hart
comes on the same day lie rein
quishes his Office as attorney general
his successor, Hewlett A, Hail. hav-
ing taken charge today.
The language of Judge Hart in his
withdrawal is really pathetic. He
says, there is not left even a hope
that my candidacy will accomplish
its purpose but | realize now with
pain and sorrow that the fight must
&c on. The announcement had but
little effect on the lineup and [ am
freely told that peace is neither pos
sible nor even desired Peace not
being possible or even desired, my
duty to my state does not require of
me further sacrifice and humiliation.
Judge Hart, in conclusion, says he
retires from the contest without bit
terness and bespeaks the respect of
your" governor, whoever you may
choose.
Friends of Judge Hart knew from
the very start that he had no chance
whatever in his race for the COVER
norship. They knew the lines were
TO closely drawn between the Smith
and Brown forces and it is a source
of relief to them that he has with
drawn.
