NEW FIGHT ON
To CLAMP LID
At SAVANNAH
Judge Charlton Orders Inquiry
and Ministers Urge Changes
in Petit Jury Lists.

SAVANNAH. Nov What is
thought to be opening shot in a fight
to put the lid on Savannah was
sounded this week when Superior
Judge Charlton charged the grand
jury TO investigate the liquor traffic
His charge was followed by emphatic
stand on the part of the Rev. T. D
Ellis.
-Four times since the prohibition act
went into effect the ministers and
Men and Religion forces have at
tempted to close the district and re
strict tn esale of intoxicants to near
beer. Such strong opposition to the
fight developed on every hand that it
was considered futile and the move
ment stopped without anything be-
ing accomplished. Only recently, the
ministers ADOPTED a resolution favor
ing the abandonment of the anti
liquor fight.
DR.. Ellis charges that the reason
thege are no indictments when cases
are brought into the courts for VIC
lations Of the prohibition act Is that
the petit jury box is crowded with
names of liquor dealers, or persons
personally interested in the traffic.
He has suggested purging the jury
lists and his suggestion has caught an
official ear
o-morrow sermons will be preach
ed from u number OF pulpits and 1t Is
expected the campaign will be-

ton, spoke to the Forest City Dis
trict OF the Arkansas Federation, as

the Arkansas women keenly alive to
the seriousness of the work he leads.
Ready to lend their powerful support
to any project for the betterment of
State and nation, the Arkansas wom
en- quickly offered their help.
Grain Dealers Enlisted.
The action taken at Osceola was
but one Of the four favorable deyel
opments as regards the levee bill. At
New Orleans the National Grain
Dealers, at the suggestion of the
Philadelphia, Pa, delegation, adopt
ed resolutions favortng the Ransdell-
Humphreys bill which provides for a
$60O00,000 appropriation to complete
the levee system. The American So
ciety of Engineers devoted several
hours to the discussion of the sub
ject, and the Mississippi River Levee
Association also received word that
the American Bankers in convention
had adopted resolutions favoring ma
tional control of the flood problem.
Secretary Manager Fox attended
the two meetings at New Orleans and
spoke in enthusiastic terms Of the
progress the fight for levees is max
