The Illegal Sale of Whiskey.
We have given the liquor business
and prohibition conditions in Terrell
county as thorough an investigation
as circumstances would permit.
1t has been made known to the
grand jury that an alarming condi-
ton exists in the county. The pro-
hibition law is being fagrantly and
continually violated in the towns.
and to an alarming extent in the
county.
We have discovered that not only
In Dawson and the other towns in
the county can whiskey be pro-
cured promptly, but we find that in
the country blind tigers are every
where, and on almost every planta-
ton OF any size whiskey is kept for
sale by the tenants and troopers:
and we further find that the church
grounds are invaded, and q regular
traffic in the sale of liquor Is regu-
larly and systematically carried on
in open violation of the law.
We have used every device known
or the violators. We have left no
stone unturned, and have as a re-
ward Of our labors returned, as the
record shows, only a few bills
where we should have been able to
have returned many.
Those who engage in the unlawful
sale and those who patronize the
blind tigers are in league to protect
the unlawful business, and it seems
practically impossible to locate and
secure the evidence upon which to
indict the offenders.
we earnestly recommend that ev-
cry laW-abiding citizen join hands in
a crusade against this class of law
lessness and enforce the law. for
crime and anarchy go hand in hand.
The records of the court at this
session will show that two-thirds of
the violations of the criminal law is
directly traceable to the illegal sale
OF Whlskey in prohibition county.
In this connection we wish to state
mat upon examination of records
furnished us by the railroads we find
that immense quantities Of whiskey
nave Deen shipped into our towns.
as much as a car load having been
shlpped to one party. We also
learned from the government office
that parties had taken out license
TOT the purpose of wholesaling whis-
key in Dawson.
we nave found from an inspection
at the revenue collectors office in
Atlanta, Ga, that the following par
ties in Terrell county have govern
ment license to retail LIQUORS.
All near beer dealers.
