Yesterday the suits of the players
attracted much more attention than
did the ball game. The SoX wore
suites with an American flag on each
sleeve. The Giants wore gray suits
with blue stripe in them, shields
of the national colors being On each
sleeve. White stockings with a stripe
of blue and one of red, blue caps with
red visors and white stripes, and red
coats trimmed in blue and white fin
ished off the Sox costumes.
Instead of coats the Giants wore
sweaters with shield on the front,
and their stockings were of purple
and white, as during the regular sea-
son.
Each team has two sets of uni

thirteen years. When I came here
there were licensed saloons in the

years we had a wet and dry election

found collections much better. l was

their earnings for whiskey are now

churches and schools, with the same
tax revenue that we had when sa-
| looms were here. If you want your
business to grow, your town to grow,
and your atmosphere to be purer,
get rid of the open saloons.
Some say they would rather have

1907 was the last year of the wet
regime, and 1912 the last year of
the dry regime. From the above it
will be seen that there was less than
half the drunkenness last year as
compared with 1907. More than
twice the increase in the amount of
money put into new buildings, more
than three times the money handled
by the banks, morethan sixty%two
million dollars increase in property
valuations, and sS25,126 increase in
the amount of taxes paid into the
city treasury.
In face of unanswerable facts like
these any man who says there is as
much whisky sold in Atlanta under
prohibition as there was under the
reign of the open barroom simply
shows that he would rather believe

Because Atlanta is the most talk

cause Atlanta is the capital of the
first state in the south to Danish the

in other states should want to know
about her prohibition record. Not

me you can get just as much whisky
as you ever could"

Texan whom this editor recently met

How Whisky Helps Pay the Revenue

Many are DESTROYS of knowing
when and where the next trial of
Hough, who is charged with killing
his wife at Clermont, will take place,
which is to be named by Governor
Trammell. AS he has been tried
here twice, resulting in a mistriaI
each time, it is believed by many
that he cannot be convicted any
where. Lake county has spent thus
far in the neighborhood of $40, 900
to convict or acquit him, and he

The above shows how whisky
helps pay the revenues of a county.
Hough was crazed with liquor when
he murdered his wife How many
saloon licenses will it take to make
up to the state and county for the
expense of trying him. True, that
Lake is a dry county, and the liquor
that warped Houghs brain was ship
ed in from Tampa, Jacksonville-or

censed whisky house some where.
