WET OR DRY TO Be ISSUE
WARM TIMES EXPECTED IN LEG
STATURE THIS SUMMER.
Seab Wright of Rome, Georgia, Fame
Is Now Engaged in Stamping
Portions of the State.

ATLANTA.-Si Signs portend that a
prohibition fight beside which those
in the past were but slight disturb
ances will break as soon as the leg
islature opens this summer.
The fact that Seab Wright is max
ing speeches around and about the
state telling the people that the pro
hibition law can be enforced as COM
pletely and as absolutely as it is in
Rome, where he clamped the lid on
the Elks club, knocked out the other
clubs and created a drouth such as
Rome never saw before, adds to the
belief that a fight is coming.
Mr.. Wright insists that the ma
chinery now exists if the people will
invoke it, but if there isn't machinery
enough more can and will be pro-
vided.
1t is the opinion here among peo-
pie watching events that the fight
this summer in the general assembly
will take the form of a bill modelled
after and which will dovetail into the
Webb national bill.
Prohibition people say that this
will doubtless be the form in which
the fight will shape itself. They are
very much delighted at the trouble
the near beer people give over pay
ing their state license tax, and assert
that this shows that this element is
not willing to abide even reasonable
regulation, hence should be driven
absolutely out of business.
The fact that the state is forced to
collect the money through an agent
in Savannah, Atlanta, Macon and Au-
gusta, with the further fact that war
rants had to be sworn out for many
/ in Savannah and Atlanta before pay
ment could be secured, furnishes the
prohibitionists with powerful argu-
ments. Here at the state capital,
where some 100000 is due, only
$4,000 has been paid. And this in
spite OF the fact that several dealers
were recently indicted and heavily
fined for failure TO pay.
It is expected that the prohibition
| leaders will be on hand early in the
session and will unlimber their heavy
guns at once. 1t promises to be a
lively summer in the law-making
halls.

ARE TOO MANY TIGERS THERE
Atlanta Man Quits the Business. ON
Account of the Competition
Being Too Keen.

ATLANTA.-Jack Reed, who the
police say has been arrested fifteen
times on whisky selling charges, but
never has been convicted, is going
to leave Atlanta because, he says,
there are too many of them blind
tigers" roaming around these days.
They're getting so 'pesky common, -
Jack says, that a past master in the
trade cannot make a decent living.
There must be 10000 of them, -
he told Assistant Chief Jett. There
amt no money in selling whisky
now. If could make 500 a week
selling whisky, like it used to be,

TO ELECT STATION DIRECTOR
Several Are Mentioned as Possible
Successor TO Martin Calvin
On April 9th.

GRIFFIN, Ga.-Much interest is
being felt in the approaching election
of a successor to Hon. Martin " Cal
vim as director of the Georgia expert
ment station, and there is widespread
speculation INDUCED in as to who will
succeed to this position.
Mr. Calvin has given notice that he
viii not be a candidate for re-elec-
u3u to the position, and therefore
ONE ether man will be elected at the
next quarterly meeting of the board
Of directors, which will be held next
Wednesday, April 9th. Mr. Calvin
VIII probably hold the position until
the first of next July, when his pres
ent torn expires.
Several prominent Georgians have
been suggested as available men for
the position OF director of the sta
tion. Among them are Hon. J. j..
Conner, present commissioner of ag-
riculture; Hon. 0. b. Stevens. former
railroad commissioner, and e. Lee
Worsham, the state entomologist Mr..
Conner, it is understood, only de-
sires to have the place for one year,
as it is said to be his intention to run
against Mr.. Price for commissioner
of agriculture in the next election. Mr..
Price goes into the commissioners
office next July, succeeding Mr.. Con-
nor in that office.
Capt. j. NJ Kimbrough, the assist
ant director of the station, has also
been prominently mentioned as a
probable candidate for Mr. Calvin's
job, but he has announced that he
will not be a candidate.
Another important matter which
is scheduled to come up at the ap-
preaching meeting of the board OF
directors Is the report Of the commit
tee which was named to investigate
the charges against Mr. Calvins adj
ministration by the staff members
of the station some months ago.

IN A GEORGIA GYPSY CAMP
LITTLE GIRL is FOUND AFTER A
SEARCH OF FOUR YEARS.
Mother Had Traced Band of Nomads
All Over the West and Back
Again to Georgia.

ATLANTA Clasping tight in her
arms the little daughter whom the
gypsies had stolen over four. years
ago Mrs. Madeline Small, the happi-
est woman in the world, arrived in
Atlanta this morning.
Assisted by the police she had
traced the little child to a Georgia
gypsy camp, and there with the Off
GERS aid she had recovered the little
girl, who is now ten years old.
A pathetic feature Of the case was
that the child had changed so that
the mother, who knew it only as a
baby, failed to recognize it at first.
The little girl had forgotten en-
tirely about her mother, and had
only dim memories Of her life in Au-
burn, n. Y, the former home of the
family.
The child, who is slender and pref
ty, walks with a peculiar side-long
motion, caused, the police believe, by
the fact that ever since she was old
enough to be of any help the gypsies
have made her carry their babies in
bundle in her right arm and rest
ing on her right hip, gypsy fashion.
The recovery of the little girl is
more like the feature of some piece
OF fiction than an episode in real
life.
The mother has been pursuing the
gypsy band for four years, and had
traced them all over the West and
back again to this part of the coun-
trv before she came up with them.

YOUNG WOMAN
FLAYS CATSUP
Tells Jury Six Bottles on Trial in

Possibly the brakes need refining.
When worn down they generally are
