Cities Would Control State.

Some whiskey advocates REFER WIFI
much satisfaction to the failure OF pro-
hibition in Augusta and Savannah,
claiming that, because of this failure
in these cities, Georgia is a failure as
prohibition State. The thinking man
will not be deceived by such specious
argument
A majority of the people of Georgia
want prohibition, and the rural dis
tricts and the small towns throughout
the State are enforcing the law'satis:-
factorily, just as is being done in the
''dry" counties of South Carolina.
Only in the large cities do we find pro-
hibition failure in Georgia.
The population of Georgia, as given
by the census of 1910, was 2,6O9, 12l.
The combined population of the cities
of Augusta and Savannah in 1910 was
only LOG, 1O4. Who should control the
legislation of Georgia? The more than
2, 200, 900 people outside of the cities OF
Savannah and Augusta, or the log, loA
persons within these cities? If ma
jority of the people of the State decide
that their interests can be advanced by
the enactment of certain laws, shall
they be denied the right to enact such
laws because the lawless element and
few other citizens of some of the cities do
not want these laws? Who should con-
troll Georgia, few cities or the vast
majority of people who reside in the
country and small towns?
Judging from scenes enacted on the
floor of the Georgia senate Monday,
the cities want to control the State.
When an effort was made to pass an
act which had for its purpose a more
rigid enforcement of the prohibition
law the senator from Savannah gained
the floor and began filibuster that
was designed to defeat the measure.
According to the Augusta Chronicle's
report, "the Savannah senator grab
bed the floor and talked about slaughter
houses in Louisiana, about the peach
crop and how we'll popcorn grows in
Georgia" and other things that were
equally as irrelevant. The merits or
demerits of the measure were not
touched upon. The evident purpose of
the senator was to talk the bill to
death, knowing all the while that his
lawless constituents in Savannah would
"pat him on the back when he re-
turned home. Such subterfuge may
succeed for a time, but mark our pre-
diction, the citizenship of Georgia re-
siding in the country districts and in
the small towns will yet rise in their
might, very probably at this session of
the legislature and whip into line
these cities that are now endeavoring
to throttle wholesome and progressive
1t is unfair and untrue to say prohi-
bition is failure in Georgia simply
because a few cities wantonly disre-
gard the law. The lawless element in
the cities, just as the violators of law
in the country, should be made to re-
spect and obey the law. Georgia needs
a governor that will enforce the laws
in every part of the State, as Governor
Manning is doing in South Carolina.
He is putting to route the 400 blind
tigers in Charleston and the Governor
of Georgia should close the barrooms
in Augusta and Savannah.

SEVENTEEN KILLED IN
ATTACK BY ZEPPELINS
Many Bombs Dropped on Armstrong
Works in England Yards q
AK and Arsenal Destroyed.

Berlin, June %, by wireless to Say
Vile. N Y--The Overseas News
Agency today. gave out the following:
"a message from Christiania says that
the steamer Iotum, which has ar
rived at Stavanger, reports that sew
5eral Zeppelins. on the night between
Tuesday and Wednesday lprobably
June 1910 dropped many bombs on
the Armstrong Works at South Shields,
England, which destroyed the navy
yards and arsenal. Several buildings
burned all night. The damage was
enormous Seventeen persons were
killed and forty injured"
The foregoing evidently refers to,
tEe raid of Zeppelins over the north
east coast of England Tuesday night
Of last week The British censorship
prevented the publication of details
III this raid, and there has been no
previous intimation that the naval
works at Shields were damaged. An
oficial announcement from London
on June 16 said merely that sixteen
persons had been killed and forty in
5ured, and that fires started by
bombs were overcome the morning
following the attack The announce
ment did not say what town had been
attacked.
Shields, on the bank or the Tyne,
has vast docks and is a great seat of
the shipbuilding and subsidiary in
6ustries. The Armstrong Works are
at Elswick Yard, near Shields.
The Armstrong company. in adj
d;tion to its shipbuildIng yards has
extensive ordnance works and steel
works The company employed
$4,000 men before the war.
