S2S.625. Bureau statisticians do not
consider the falling off in figures OF
the first ginning report from eastern
states so significant as they might APP
pear. They attribute the decrease To
the lateness of the crop rather than to
any cause which. in the end. would af-
feet its volume. They say the spring
was late throughout the eastern states
retarding growth and delaying its ma
turity about two weeks. Without haV-
ing any other definite information
they expect material Improvement IN
future reports. The season has Deeh
unusually good in Texas. which ac-
counts for prospective larger crop
there.

Atlanta Georgian: whisky Will
ruin any community, and prohibition
will help it," said Judge Pendleton, or
the superior court, Tuesday in his
charge to the grand jury. In speak
ing Of the effect that prohibition has
had in Georgia, Judge Pendleton gave
an example of a town in which he used
to hold court before the state had pro-
hibition. In this town were six or
seven barrooms and during court week
drunken men were lettering around
the court yard, some with pistols
buckled to their belts. Fights were
frequent and lawlessness was indulg-
ed in freely. "Now, when I go to that
same town, the little ShantieS have
been torn away and brick stores re-
place them, seldom is any one around
there seen drunk and the merchants
report that business is far better than
it was when they had whisky. This
is an example of what prohibition, in
so far as liquor is concerned will do
for a community. Whisky will ruin
any community and prohibition will
build it up"

seven points in which the issue was
framed. Great Britain wins on ques-
tions one. and five. While the United
States triumphs on five of the seven
points, point five, decided in favor of
Great Britain, has been held 10y Eng

men claimed the right to take the
measure from any part of the British
North American shore and heretofore
the liberty to fish in the middle of any
Canadian bay or estuary having ra-
diuS of more than three miles. The

line connecting the headldndS. The
peace court sustained the British con-
tentiOn.
