Prohibition Law Not
Heller Than Others. =

The advocates OF this prohibition
law seem to think it is something holier
and more worthy OF attention than 9TH
er laws. | deny that It Is any more
binding than other laws, and that it is
holier. There is no power under the
law TO force iuries TO make verdicts to
suit fanatics. Nothing but public opin
ion. common sense. decency and justice
can influence the iuries of Georgia.
Cranks needn't get mad with the gov
ernor because juries will not return
verdicts to suit their cranky notions
The iuries of Georgia are made up Of
the plain, common. honest upright peo-
Pile Of Georgia and their verdicts are
characterized by wisdom, justice and
moderation. | respect them more than
respect The babbling and the mouth
ings Of cheap politicians and dema-
gogues
Let's put common sense to work in
this legislature, concluded Mr.. Ander-
son. and effective some constructive
legislation
The Anal argument in favor of the
bill was commenced by Mr.. t'ullhright,
Of Burke, at 1870 o'clock.

RECORDER UPHELD
IN CASE AGAINST
TIGER KING" SHAW

The court Of appeals today upheld
Recorder Nash Broyles in the convic-
ton Of Dan Shaw for violation Of the
Atlanta blind tiger ordinance.
The court held that Shaw, who had
received receipts from bis agent Cog
gins. for shipments OF liquor from Chat
tanooga had given sufficient evidence
of having liquor on hand for unlawful
sale to be guilty of a violation of the
citys ordinance
In second case, in which the re-
corder fined shaw on evidence that the
prisoner while on his way to police
headquarters, had dropped a bundle OF
bills of lading from the patrol wagon
and a policeman had received a CON
signment of liquor from the railroad
company, the court held that no judg
ment could be found against Shaw.

Opposes Bill on
Common Sense Grounds.

Mr. White. Of Screven. said he hard
~ knew how his constituents stand on
this matter, but that as for himself he
proposed to view it in the light Of such
common sense as he was possessed Of
and that he. therefore, opposed the bill
as something impractical and incapa-
BILE of rational enforcement.
I'VE had, under our old local option
law, only nineteen wet counties In
Georgia as against ll9 dry counties
We had more prohibition then than We
ever have had since declared Mr.
this feature removed as with It
White AN fanatical and ill-advised
efforts to better conditions have merely
made things worse Under so-calied
state wide prohibition drunkenness has
increased Why not be temperate in
legislation as well as in the use Of
liquors"
Mr. Ault. Of Polk, followed Mr.
White He addressed himself to his
amendment removing the proposed pro-
hibitive restrictions from physicians
prescriptions and genuine medicine not
manufactured for the purpose Of evad-
ing the prohibition law He thought
the bin would be as strong with this
feature removed as with it included.

nti-Liquor Men
Fail in Senate

While the lower, house engaged in a
death struggle today over the Tippins
hin. the state senate took little flyer
Of Is own al prohibition legislation when
senator Felker's state revenue liquor tax
bills reported favorably by the temper
ance committee, came UP for passage
After "a furious debate before which the
oratory Of the lower house must have
paled the bills were recommtted.
The big cities Of the state came IN for
severe criticism from the senate proh-
hitionsts for the lack Of regard for eX-
isiing prohibition legislation. Senator
Bush. accredited as being the senate s
prohibition leader, and Senator Felker
author Of the revenue measure hayed the
cities mercilessy. Senator Bush, who
wanted the bill which is revenue meas
ure deriving from stamp tax on beer,
wines and liquors 10 go TO the state rath-
er than The county treasury. It was IN
his argument urging reeommitment 70 ef-
feet this change that the bic cities we're
accused Of being the liquor drinking com
munities Of Georgia
III rs the large cities Of the state that
won't let us have real prohibition in
Georgia, and ! don't propose to let them
profit alone from the revenues coming
from these measures. These bills will
bring the state $4,000 600 annually. It
viii pay all the expenses Of the state
Savannah and Liquor.
Senator Dickerson. under the impress
sion that he who pays the freight should
profit, said:
Don't you think the cities that con
sumo the liquor should have the advan-
tage Of this tax"
The fight then turned on an amendment
reducing the tax per gallon on liquor
Somebody asked Senator Feker author
of the bill, II he didn't believe that low
lax would encourage the drinking Of liz
uor especially in cities
III you mean Savannah yelled the
senator from the Twenty seventh dis
trlct 81 don't think any law could make
Savannah consume more liquor than IS
being consumed there now"
The bin was finally recommtted after
Senator Roberts had called attention to
The fact that the constitution of the state
stipulated that a revenue measure should
originate in the house, although Senator
Felker insisted that his bill was not
revenue but prohibition measure.
To Confirm Brown Men

ernor Brown, but took no action The

zeal measure Of prohibition has been
achieved in Georgia
The present prohibition law is as
strong as language can make it, Why
burden it down with this proposed
amendment, which can only say what
the law already says, and which is spe-
cide enough for any reasonable man?
If we amend il at all why not amend
il to give rational relief where that is
needed

the house in this part of his speech,

clared "MN town. l am glad to say,

Calls Attack on
Governor Unfair.

1T was an unfair attack on the gov
ernor to say that he Is not doing all
that he can 70 enforce all laws. The
constitution does not impose upon the
governor the duty TO pick out specific
and particular laws for his fayorite and
partial attention"
A sharp Interchange Of words be-
tween Mr. Alexander and Mr.. Anderson
took place over the question of the gov
ernor's duty 20 enforce any and an laws.
Mr. Alexander attempted to force MIR
Anderson to say that il was not the
duty OF the governor TO enforce AN laws.
~hereupon Mr. Anderson read The con
sututionel limitations put upon the
governor ana invited MI Alexander 10

Anderson in Closing
Speech Opposing Measure.

Al 1880 O'Clock MIR Anderson Of
Chatham took the floor 70 make the
concluding argument against the bill
Mr. Anderson began By saying that
he was originally in hearty sympathy
with the Georgia Anti Saloon league,
and only parted company with il when
II plunged into politics and endeavored
to legislate impossible things into hu-
man beings
If the Anti Saloon league had been
content To proceed along lines of COM

upon a plea that it might hurt YOU

The gentleman from DeKalb deHv-
cred yesterday one of the most dema-
gogie and unfair arguments ever
heard delivered on this floor. and |

that kind

Stars and Stripes were raised on all
three poles signifying that the Ameri-
cans had taken first, second and third

The defeat of the Americans by the
fleet Finnish runner did not cause any
great surprise as the American prac-
ticaIly conceded defeat. The Americans
who qualified for the final in the 5000

Berna and Louis j. Scott.
This afternoon the haze turned to

must look after freight express. bag

close score of five to three. Friday night
was vlndicatlon of the claim of the
"whites" that they could beat their
opponents. The junior and the fresh
men girls who form the "white" team
won easily by the score of seven to three.
One of the features of the game was the
competitive spirit on the part of the
Ferguson sisters, who play opposite to
one another ON the two teams.
The town five met the high school
five, the former somewhat handicapped
by reason of the inability of Alex.

test. The first half ended five to four
