dertakings.
1.-THE Webb law, which seeks to pre-
vent the shipment of liquors from wet
into dry states for illegal purposes
has long, sharp, and decidedly harl
teeth, and l can tell you why.
''The Georgia laws make the pos
session of a federal liquor license
prima facie evidence of an intent to
break the state prohibition statutes.
Hence every shipment of liquor made
to the holder of federal liquor Ii
cense presumably is made to a per-
son intending to violate the prohibi-
ton laws of the state.
"The very minute the federal gov
eminent issues a liquor license in
Georgia, it provides the person, fra
or club accepting it the very evidence
the state requires to set up a case to
which the Webb law applies directly

able to get at every near-beer saloon,

"a good deal depends, of course, in

the returns from the same will be

CHICKAMAUGA PARK TO
PROVE MOST INTERESTING
To Visitors Who viii Go To
Reunion

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 19.-The
battlefield of Chickamauga will be d
point of paramount interest to the
Confederate veterans when they as
semble here May 1928 in annual re-
union.
The bloodiest battlefield of the civil
war has attractions that no other bat
tlefeld enjoys. More than thirty thous-
and men were killed and wounded il
the battle of Chickamauga. The exact
number of dead and missing will new
er be known, but from the most re-
liable statistics the total casualties
were $4,000. Chickamauga has the
highest per cent. of casualties, based
on the number of men engaged, of any
battle in the history of wars. The fed
eral casualties exceeded the Confed-
crate casualties by about 500.
Great improvements have been made
at Chickamauga since the Confederate
reunion here in 1890. The Federal
government and those states that sup
piled the fighting forces in the conf1ic,,
have spent several million dollars i'm
proving the field Monuments have
been placed to show the locations of
the troops and some So miles of good
road have been constructed through
out the park.
In addition to these Improvements,
the United States has established at
Chicgamauga, the largest Army Post
in the United States. This post is
known as FIT Oglethorpe, is occupied
all the time by troops of the regular
army. The Eleventh Cavalry is now
at this post. All who keep them
selves posted in army matters know
the Eleventh cavalry is the crack reg
iment of the United States army. The
regiment will give exhibition drills at
the post every day of the reunion and
welcome the Confederate veterans
most cordially.
The park and army post are reached
by trolley lines at an expense of fif-
teen cents. The service on this line is
ample and modern in all respects
Cars convey passengers from the city
to the park, distance of fifteen miles,
in forty minutes. Hacks and motor
cars may be had at the terminus OF
the trolley line to convey tourists
hioNSh INC pam, SlOppluS dC all
points of interest a few minutes so
that passengers may get all of the
information desired. The rates TO,
hacks and motor cars are very reas-
enable. The maximum fare is fixed b.
the government, and this information
is conspicuously displayed on each
vehicle.
The underground has been carefully
removed from the entire field, and
Chickamauga today shows clearlJ
the same battlelines that were made
during the engagement of fifty years
ago Snodgrass hill, the Poe place,
Kelley field, and other points of his
toric interest are carefully preserved !
by the national government through |
the park commission.
In order to provide even better SER
wee during the Confederate reunion
an entirely new, double-track line is
being constructed to the Chickamauga |
battlefields and army post. The new
line follows a different route, and is
much shorter than the existing line.
Strenuous efforts have been put forth
in construction for months, as a result
of which the completion by the middle
of May is a certainty.

Callahan yesterday intinated

Her beauty, her daintiness, would
have of themselves compelled lin

attractions she was the girl OF his

in arousing him.
