LOT
Of PROHIBITION
BILLS PASSE D

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 16.-The pas
sage yesterday afternoon by the house
Of Representatives of the mill to pro-
hibit the advertising of any prohibited
liquor in any form in the state of
Georgia completed the program of the
prohibition forces.
The omnibus bill was passed by the
house last Friday night The anti
shipping bill was passed by the house
yesterday morning And the anti-ad-
vertising bill went through the house
at a late hour yesterday afternoon. In
addition to these three bills, which
made up the prohibition program, the
house yesterday passed a bill re-
pealing the statutes licensing brew
aries, near-beer saloons and locker
Cubs, thereby removing the last yes
tige of legal recognition from these in
stitutions.
AS all of the bills passed by the
house were senate bills, having been
previously passed by that body, it only
remains for the bills to go back to the
senate for concurrence in the changes
made by the house, and the bills will
then be transmitted to the governor
for his signature.
The only change made in the bills by
the house was to change the effective
date of the bills from January 1, 1916,
to May 1, 1916. III this change the
senate is practically certain to agree,
so that the completion of the prohibi-
ton program is the same as accom-
plished.
In agreeing to this change in the
date upon which the bills become eff
fective, the prohibition forces in the
house made no sacrifice Of principle
whatever, but merely yielded to ex-
pediency in the interest of Fastening <
the passage of the bills, and thereby
shortening the extra session, so as to
save expense to the taxpayers of the
state.
The opposition first demanded that
the percentage clause of the omnibuS
bill be changed from one-half of one
per cent of alcohol to one per cen
Failing to secure this concession, they
demanded that the one-half of one per
cent. clause be applied to beer, the
same as it applied in the bill to whis-
key and wine. Believing that such a
concession would result in the manu-
facture and sale of beer that would
gradually be increased in the percent
age of alcohol until regulation beer
would be made and sold in the state,
the prohibition forces stood firm in
their refusal of this demand also. Then
the opposition agreed to abandon their
filibuster and permit the bills to come

ROUTE BOOK FOR
GEORGIA ROADS.
To Be PRINTED

ATLANTA, Ca, Nov. 16.- Recognize
iEg the Widespread interest in good
roads in Georgia and that an ever-in-
creasing number of tourists is travers-
ing daily the by-roads of Georgia as
we'll as the main highways, and that
there is growing need among auto
owners for accurate and complete in
formation as to the roads in Georgia.
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce has
arranged to have issued, under its aus
pioes, Motor Way Year Book for 1916.
This route book will cover every
automobile road in Georgia, provided
the people of the various communities
viii respond to the requests for accnr,
ate information and logging now be-
ing sent throughout the state The
Georgia Chamber of Commerce is send
ing letters to the clerks of the boards

tley correct to date logging sent them

tween theid principal town and the

ton, giving all landmarks. streams.
BRIDGES, crossroads and the mileage
from each to the next one noted. Those
that furnish the information necessary
TOR including their roads in detail,
mile by mile, in the route book will
be given descriptive write-ups of their
communities in the book.
| 1T is manfestly impossiblefor any,
cne publishing route-book for a
state the size of Georgia, which has
built over 10000 miles of improved
roads since 1908, to go over and log
each road personally" says Charles J.
Eaden, president of the Georgia Cham
Ter of Commerce 1T is necessary for
the publishers of the 1916 Motor Way
Year Book to deEend to a large de-
gree on the local authorities and in
tcrested parties to correct the infor-
raation sent them and to furnish ad-
dltional information covering. in de-
tail, any routes not included in the
logging sent them for correction, Nat
urally, it will be impossible to include
any route in the book if the road au-
thorities, or other interested parties
in the counties of Georgia do not re-
spond promptly to our requests for
complete and accurate data regarding
the roads in their sections. We are
asking the local commercial organiza-
ticns, where there are such, to CO.
operate with the county road author
tiles in securing and sending to us
promptly correct and compete infor-
u alton covering every automobile road
in their sections. A citizen of any
county may know perfectly the roads
in his own county or section but the
man from another section of the state
does not know them, and usually
neither knows the roads in sections OF
the state far distant from his home,
but either will need such information
in handy form as soon as he starts ON
an auto trip of any length. This need
the 1916 Motor-Way Year Book for
Georgia is designed to fiIl."
1t is expected that the new automo.
bile route book will go to press about
December 1. and that it will be the
first complete route book of Georgia.
Thousands of copies will go into the
hands of autoists in Georgia and to
tourists in other states.
