MACON. Sept. 20.-If the Supreme
Court upholds the decision of JuGge

Court. to the effect that the sale of
beer is a violation of the State pro-
hibition law. every saloon in Georgia
will probably be closed. They will

the Law Enforcement League has
raised $4,000 with which to prosecute
its campaign.
Edward Cassidy was recently pros
eCuted by the league for running a

liquor being made, Judge Mathews is
sued a permanent injunction against
Cassidy and forfeited his license Prior
thereto. however, while the case was
pending, he issued an injunction.

from selling ANY Intoxicating liz

sale of beer. Several bottles of il

given to a chemist for analysis. The
analysis showed that the beer con-

Judge Mathews did not fine or SEN
tence Cassidy because 1t was the first
case of the kind tried in the State,
but he put all saloon owners on no.

guilty. He contends that any bever-

Gives $4,000 Manse
For Love of Pastor
Donation Made by Savannah Man to
Westminster Presbyterian
Church.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 2O.-On the eve
of the completion of the handsome
Memorial Westminster Church, II is
Just becoming known that a beneti-
cent, admirer of the pastor of this
congregation has pledged the dona-
ton of a $4,000 manse. The name of
the donor of the $4,000 for the cree
ton of the church building has never
been made public. because it was his
wish that the fact be not exploited,
and the giver of the manse seems
destined to have the same secrecy as
to his identity preserved. 1t is said
on good authority that there is no re-
lation between the two donors.
The church was erected as n me-
mortal to the mother of the man who
gave of his wealth for it.
II has not been determined where
the manse is to be erected. Those
who have the matter in hand are
naturally inclined to build IT as near

Turning Basin in
Savannah Harbor
That Portion of Fig Island Owned
by City of Savannah
To Be Used.

SAVANNAH, Sept. 20.-While no
definite arrangements have beer
made regarding the construction of
the proposed turning basin in Savan-
nah Harbor off Fig Island. a sugges-
ton has been made to Colonel Dan C..
Kingman, United States engineer, in
charge of the Savannah district, by
the city officials, that the basin be
made off that portion of the island
owned entirely by the city.
If the basin is built at the point
originally planned it will be necessary
to eXcavate a part of Fig Island
owned by private individuals. These
owners, it is understood, want $4,000
for the land. The Government made
tentative suggestion, through Colo
mel Kingman, that this land be coded
for the basin. and in return offered to
raise the balance of the island mucn
higher above the sea level, thereby
enhancing the value of the property.

Council Regulation

SAVANNAH, Sept. 2O.-Regulation
of wharfage rates in Savannah by
ordinance is being considered by the
Tax and Commerce Committee Of the
City Council
That it is within the power of
Council to draft an ordinance fixing
the various rates to be charged is
the suggestion made to this commit
tee. The matter has been tentatively
considered and will be taken up again
shortly
Business interests generally are
complaining of the wharfage rates
charged by the Merchants and Min
ers, and the fact that the port is be-
ing harmed by this practice has in
tiuenced the committee of Council in
considering means of affording re-
lief. The City Attorney has been
asked to furnish a legal opinion on
the matter
In an ordinance of this sort It
would be necessary to fix the rates on
all kinds of goods shipped through
the port.

OLD POLITICAL

Friends and Enemies of Judge

MACON, Sept. 2O.-Next Friday
Macon will nominate a Mayor and

Strictly speaking, he will be either
Miller or Smith, because Dasher, bv

making an earnest campaign, direct

Smith workers prophesy a Smith
victory of over 300. Nom partisans
look for very close race, with the
winner getting probably 200 more
votes than he needs
1t Is the consensus of opinion that
the aldermanic ticket will be greatly
split On account of Smiths great
personal popularity, he will get the
vote of many who will not vote for
his ticket. j. B. Riley, DR. w. e.
Lee and Eden Taylor, of the Miller
aldermanic candidates, and r. c.
Hazlehurst and Ross Bowdre of the
administration ticket, will poll the
most votes. 1t is not believed any Of the
Dasher aldermanic candidates have
any chance for election.
The old Miller Smith, Miller?
Moore feeling has at last been inject
ed into this campaign, and is. in IA Il,
a live issue. Judge. A. L. Miller, the
father of Wallace Miller, ran against
Mr.. Smith in 1905. and was defeate1
He ran against John T. Moore, the
present Mayor, in 1907, and won. He
was opposed by Mr. Moore again Ill
1909 and was defeated. Ever since
a citizen in local politics has been
either of the Miller" stripe or an adj
ministratiOn supporter. Wallace
Miller is receiving largely the same
vote that went to his father, coupled
with the passive support of the Law
Enforcement League, which his father
never received at any time.
If Miller is elected, he win be the
youngest Mayor Macon ever had. He
is only q years old, though the father
of three children and a Representative
in the Legislature. Mr.. Smith was
Mayor from 1899 TO 1907.
