Declares Moral Tone Already Better,
and Enforcement of Law Would
Bring About Ideal Conditions.
Editor of The News: Those who
are in the business of getting up mat
ter to discredit our prohibition law
make ii a point to keep the shadow
side always uppermost by sending
broadcast under f1aring headlines eV-
cry violation of the law against the
sale of whiskey. OF course no think
ing person believed half the reports
sent out Just before the holidays to
make it appear that we were being
deIuged with liquor from other
states. 1t was a great deal worse than
it should have been no doubt, but
the aftermath of Christmas gives the
bright side of the picture, gratifying
to the most ardent prohibitionst.
"Straws show which way the wind
blows" and the following items clip
ped from different newspapers OF the
state make good reading for those
who have at heart the moral prog
ress of our people. Read the opin-
ions of those in a position to know
the situation
with the increase of 10 per cent
in general business it is estimated by
express company officials that the
liquor shipments have decreased by
about per cent. The express men
offer no reason for the decrease in
shipments to Atlanta of gallons to
fill the cup that cheers. They have
just decreased, and that's all"
Comparatively speaking-that is,
compared with some Christmases we
have had in the past-this has been
a sober and peaceful Christmas in
Albany. No tragedy or serious ac-
cident is reported, and there was less
noise and drunkenness than usual at
Christmas time Albany Herald.
Triton Gazette: 'Tifton's record
of not a single case of disordely con-
duct during Christmas week is one
which probably no other town of its
size in the South can duplicate"
Chief of Police ]. L. Beavers,
commenting on the quiet conditions,
said that it was the most orderly
Christmas he had ever observed since
becoming a member of the force, "a
years ago. During Christmas eve the
Georgia Railway and Electric Com
pany operated a double service of
cars, most of them carrying trail
ers." Both conductors and motor
men reported perfect order, and mar
veled at the contrast with past
years"
The Cordele Dispatch reports a
jolly Christmas, safe and sane, with
no rowdyism or tragedies. Mr.. Crit
tenden of Shellman makes the state
ment that orderliness and good cheer
marked the holiday season in that
enterprising little city, there being
very little drunkenness. A marked
Improvement in the observance of
the day was very noticeable.
We might add the testimony of
many others, but this is sufficient
to show that the moral tone is bet
ter and that a rigid enforcement of
he law would bring about ideal con-
/
ditions. PROHIBITIONlST.

Mr.. H. A. Petty recently wrote to

partment of the college work ex-
pressing a willingness to arrange for
an institute here early in February

and will show that they are interest
ed. The letter is as follows:

H. A. Petty, Dawson, Ga. Dear Sir:
Your letter of Dec. 25th to DR.. SOule
has been referred to me. We will be
glad to hold a two-days' farmers
meeting or extension agricultural
school at Dawson during the early
part of February. 1 would suggest
the 18th and Sth days of February as
suitable ones for holding this meet
ing. II these dates are satisfactory
to you we will appreciate any effort
that you might give towards inter
esting your neighbors in this meet
ing. DR.. Soule would be glad to have
a petition from the farmers in your
community asking for this meeting,

satisfactory arrangements for hold
ing a meeting with you and assuring
you that we will be only too glad to
be with you, | am yours very truly,

These institutes are helpful to ag-
ricultural interests, as experts dis
cuss various subjects, such as seed
selection, soil preparation and fertil-
ization and give the farmers praci-
cal and scientific ideas that are Of
great value to them in getting the
best results from their work.
A discussion of these matters in
February, when preparations are be-
ing made to plant the crops, would
be much more beneficial than next
summer after the crops have been
made, and the farmers of the county
will no doubt avail themselves of this
opportunity and take steps at once
to secure the institute.
Mr.. Petty will be glad to hear
from all who are interested.

New Haven Railroad Will

(National News Association)
WASHINGTON, May S.-The New
Haven railroad, as an aristocracy in
the New England traffic business has
run it's course, according to Louis
Brandeis, special government investi-
gator, commenting on the statement of
President Mellen and the recent dis
closures in the investigation of the
road by Commissioner Prouty, of the
interstate commerce commission.
THE New Haven for years had the
standing in New England that the
Bank of England has in England. Mo-
nopIy has run its course, however,
after ten years of 'frenzied finance on
the part of the lines heads.
"The New Haven was without oppo-
sition in New England, and conse-
quently received all the traffic. Op-
portunity for investment was limited
to the New England road, but New
Englanders do not care TO put all their
eggs in one basket. President Mellen
should have foreseen the outcome"
