Big BOOSTER BANQUET"
is ASSURED SUCCESS
Are Daily Be-
ing Perfected

Work toward perfecting the arranse-
ments for the big Booster Banquet
that has been announced for July the
Fourth is progressing in most salts
factory manner There is no doubt
that it will be one of the biggest and
most successful events of its kind
ever held in the state.
For several days the wires have been
kept hot to engage several of the best
speakers that can be secured for such
an occasion. A number of noted speak
ers have been communicated with for
that purpose, but no definite anounce-
ment concerning those who will de-
liver these addresses has yet been
made. 1t is sufficient to say that the
speakers will inclTde some of the
best that can possibly be obtained
throughout Georgia and the, entire
South. They will be speakers who
will bring a genuine and cheering
message to the people of Americas and
this section of the state.
J According to the plans as outlined
thus far, the banquet will be arranged
on a basis where each guest will be
expected to hand in his name rs
pledge that he will defray his part Of
the expenses incurred. No price for
each plate has been named, though
the familiar Dollar Banquet" has
been suggested. AS soon as the COM
mittee on entertainment, of which Mr..
Frank P. Harold is chairman, gets
matters thoroughly in hand, definite
announcement will be made concern
ing this and other features of the
public entertainment The character
Isle energy and business-ldke aggres-
siveness of Mr.. Harold, which has
gained him such an enviable reputa-
tfon in the handling of such matters
in the past, will be brought into action
to secure the complete success of the
proposed entertainment, now that he
has returned from his summer outing.
Every committee that has been
named to act on these matters with
reference to any other matters that
came up for consideration at the re-
cent meeting of the Board of Trade,
has gotten busy in thoroughgoing man
ner, SO that the biggest Fourth Of
July ever seen here has been practi-
cally assured President Crawford
Wheatley and Secretary Clarence J
White, of the Board of Trade, have
been especially untiring and energetic
in doing everything possible to assure
the success of the occasion.

WALT THAN

to sell Intoxicating liquors it is wrong
for the state to sell them, and there
fore. 1 have recommended the legislature
to abolish the dispensary system entirely
and to give the governor the power to
remove every local official who refuses
to perform his duty.
lone of the chief obstacles in the en-
forcement of the prohibition law is the
practice of gambling. A large percentage
of the violations of the prohibition law is
directly traceable to that cause, and If
gambling can be abolished crime will be
diminished so per cent in this state. l
do not pretend that it is possible to alb
solutely prevent gambling, but We can
lessen the vice and make professional
gambling impossible by passing law
making it felony for any man to run
a gambling house in the state.
Nothing has been done yet. but i
hope before the legislature adjourns that
something will be accomplished in this
direction
