WATSON PROHI CANDIDATE I?
TALKS OF THE GOVERNORSHIP
TO TWO THOUSAND PEOPLE.
Says Prohibition Is the Issue, and
He viii Fight For 1t as Long as
He Has Ten Pounds of Flesh.

He Has Ten Pounds of Flesh.
WASHINGTON, Gals Thomas
E. Watson of Thomson a prospective
candidate for governor to fill the I'M
expired term of Governor Hoke
Smith?
That question is asked following
the address of Mr.. Watson at RayIe,
in the western part of this county,
Thursday. With State School Com
missioner Britain of Atlanta, James
M. Smith of Smithsonia, and County
School Commissioner Charles H.
Calhoun of this city Mr.. Watson adj
dressed the crowds who were gather
ed for an educational rally of large
proportions
There were 1000 people present,
but those who came with the expect
alton of hearing an educational ad-
dress from Mr.. Watson went away
disappointed. Further than a brief
statement commencing the people of
the rural sections for their efforts
to build up and broaden the school
facilities of their community, placing
the elements of high school train
ing within the reach of every coun-
try boy and girl, he did not discuss
education in any of it's branches.
Mr.. Watson's speech was entirely
political. He stated that the prohi-
bitiOn question will be the central
theme around which the special cleo
ton this fall for the governorship
will be founht.
1T will be a fight for prohibition
against the open barrooms again, "
said he, and as long as l have ten
pounds of flesh left on my frame l
propose to fight for prohibition in
Georgia"
Raising his right hand dramati-
cally he said:
with these fingers I wrote the
platform of the peoples party in
1896. When that party went to
pieces the fragments of the peoples
party platform were taken up by
the democrats and it was a case of
a little leaven that leaveneth the
whole lump. -

INCREASE OF WHISKY SALES
Growth of Intemperance and Law
L. 5. COMMISSIONER SHOW,
Increase in Intemperance and Law
lessness Throughout the ''Dry"
Territory of the Country.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-In the last u
months the consumption of liquors
broke all records, and the people of
the United States consumed over
100000 gallons more of whiskey
and over 113,O0O,OO0 gallons more
of beer in the fiscal year ending June
30, 1911, than they did in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1910, is the
announcement of the National Mod
el License League, which has just re-
ceiyed the official figures from R. E.
Cabell, United States commissioner
of internal revenue.
The total consumption of distilled
spirits for the year just closed was
34,6OO,193 gallons as compared
with consumption of 1875, 384,726
gallons in the previous year
The total consumption of beer for
the fiscal year of 1911 was $780,
S51 barrels, or 1,959,722,381 gallons
as compared with 59,544,775 bar
rels, or 1,845,SS8,025 gallons for
1910.
The combined increase is 121, 049,-
823 gallons, which represents an in
crease of l. gallons per capita, using
census figures. The total per capita
consumption is now 1929 gallons.
The highest previous consumption
of distilled spirits was for the year
1907. The slump that followed that
year continued until 1909 and then
took an upward turn to the present
apex.
Following the receipt of the COM
missioner's telegram 7. M. Gilmore,
president of the National Model Lii
cense League, issued the following
statement:
The commissioner figures con-
stitute a terrific Indictment of the
prohibition movement as a failure
and a farce. The movement that has
spread prohibition over more than
one-half of the map began in 1893.
At that time the per capita consump-
tion of liquor was about 16 u gal
ions, and now after all the ''whiten-
ing" of the map by the Anti-Saloon
League it is 1929 gallons. If the
prohibition movement had not been
checked in the past few months il
would be difficult to put an estimate
on the increase that would have beer
caused by adding to the territor!
in which. people buy in wholesale
lots and consume accordingly.
AN increase in the amount of Ii
n quor consumed in license territor,
may mean nothing more than bust
#ness prosperity and an increase il
temperate drinking, but an increas
in the consumption of liquors il
dry territory must be interprete,
as an increase in lawlessness and in
temperance

Capt James w. English of Atlanta
and James M. Smith anent their for
mer connection with the convict lease
system. Mr.. Smith was on the pro
gramme to speak at the rally at
Rayle from the same platform with
MIR. Watson, but after accepting the
invitation had to decline.
The political opinion here is to
the effect that Mr.. Watson likely will
make the race for governor with pro-
hibition the chief plank in his plat
form. He said that prohibition had
not been a success during the last
two years, but did not point out
just what the defects were or commit
himself to any plan for it's better en-
forcement.

JOKE ON HOTEL MEN.

A barber in Erie, Pa, has been
teaching two hotel men how to paint.
Mr., Christ Wissard is the barber.
Three years ago he painted his house
and shop Devoe.
A year afterward the hotels across
the street-they are all on corners
were painted, not Devoe.
The story don't tell the first half of
the facts: how much the three paints
cost per square foot. 1t tells how
they looked last year.
The laugh was not on the barber.
His house and shop looked new; the
hotels had begun to look old; they'll
paint Devoe next time; and next
time will come pretty soon.

ALARM FELT IN ENGLAND
OVER PLAGUE SITUATION

LONDON, Feb. 21.-English ex-
perts today are growing more and
more alarmed over the far eastern
plague situation. In spite Of some
skeptics, 1t Is said by many 1t may be
doubted If, unless means can be
devised to stamp out the infection,
an epidemic Of the most virulent type
may be expected.
That pneumonia plague has OBJ
tanned a foothold in East Anglia is
unquestionable. So far there is no
evidence of It's spread to other parts
of England, but the past history Of
the plague contains many instances
where the full force of the virus has
been developed very slowly.

SECRETS OF L. s. NAVY
GIVEN TO SECURE CONTRACT

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.--Thst
the secrets of the American navy
have been traded for two battleship
contracts, the chief beneficiary of
which Is Charles NJ. Schwab's Beth
lehem Steel company, is the sensa-
tional charge brought today against
Secretary of State Knox and Secre-
tary Meyer of the Navy. The two
ships, the building of which was OBJ
tanned for Americans by the alleged
bargain are now in course of con-
struction for Argentina, one at the
yards of the Fore River company at
Quincy, Mass, and the other at the
yards of the New York Shipbuilding
company. The plans of the United
States navy department and the
brains of Uncle Sans experts are be-
ing used in their construction, 1t
was because of the promise of open
and free access to the secrets of the
American navy by the state depart
ment that the contract warships
came here. 1t is charged. Now the
navy department has been called up
on to make good the promise. Once
the ships are built there is no guar
anty that their guns may not be turn
ed against the stars and stripes, say
those protesting against the action
for they might be sold or, by cap
ture, fall into the hands of any ma
tion, possibly Germany or japan
Thus, 1t is charged, for a single con
tract the millions spent on the de
velopment of the American navy ar,
practically placed at the feet OF
possible enemy.
When Argentina decided to buil'
two dreadnoughts, bids were aske,
from the whole world. The biddin
was finally narrowed down to tn
English, German and American bids
in the latter of which Charles N
Schwab's steel works were great
interested. Secretary Knox wa
formerly attorney for Schwab.
While the contracts were still ~
in the air." United States Ministe
Sheriff. at Buenos Ayres intervene
and by pledging the secrets Of tn
American navy, II Ia alleged, turne
the scales in favor OF the Unite
States bidders, and the contrac
came to this country.
All requests to Secretary Knox
explain the transaction have mi
with note saying that he decline
to be interviewed on the subject.
