Georgia Liquor
Dealers Get Busy

The news Of the passage Of the Webb
bill by congress, and the indicated
crimp to be put in the Interstate ship
ment Of Intoxicating liquors, seems 20
have aroused promptly the intrastate
shippers Of Georgia. who do con-
gregate in Savannah and Augusta.
Bright and early this morning in the
governors mail came circular from
the Savannah house of Weitz 6; Co. Of
fering all sorts of brands of booze at
bargain prices, to be shipped direct to
the consumer. from the southeast Geor-
gia metropolis by the sad sea waves.
Not that Weitz & Co. themselves sent
the missive to his excellency. Far be it
from such! 1t was sent him by third
party. to whom it had been addressed
direct; but the governors distinguished
attention was called to it, and the many
things it offered.
Not a great while ago the governor
received a similar circular-by way of a
third party-from an Augusta concern.
The Savannah circular is interesting.
1t reCites, in big black letters, as sort
Of Introductory warning, that mo goods
will be shipped to minors" Otherwise,
all legal inhibitions are off and the
soliciting is quite engaging in its frank =
ness,
If the Webb bill sticks and weathers
the Taft veto peril, Savannah and Au-
gusta dealers claim they will profit by
it, AS it will put Chattanooga and Jack
sonville largely out of the running, and
these two burgs have been Savannah
and Augusta's greatest rivals for bust
ness heretofore
There is large sized suspicion in the
minds of many persons that these Sa-
Vannah and Augusta houses may be
reckoning without their hosts in this
matter-but evidently they are reckon
ing, all right, nevertheless.
