Mayor PierpOnt To
Enforce PrOhi. Laws


announcement by Mayor w. j.
Pierpont of Savannah that he pro-
posed to enforce the new Georgia
prohibition laws when they 90 in
to effect next May 1st and the
situation that has developed as a
result of that announcement. are
attracting attention over the state.
Hon. A. A. Lawrence, state
senator from the First (Savannah)
district, has just been in Atlanta
and held conference with num-
Der of friends both in and out of
the legislature in reference to a
bill to be introduced IN the next
session of the legislature to reduce
the term of the mayor of Savannah
from four to two years.
The effect of this bill, of course,
will be to shorten Mayor P1erpont's
term of Office two years, and the
fact that the announcement of the
intended introduction of the bill
came close on the heels of Mayor
Pierpont's announcement in regard
TO enforcing the prohibition laws,
coupled with the fact that the
Chatham delegation in the house
and the senator from the First dis
trict were very active opponents
of the passage of the bills, has
given rise to the prediction that
the prohibition forces of the legis-
lature will oppose the Savannah
charter amendment when it comes
up for passage.
Several members of the Iegisla.
ture who have been in Atlanta off
and on since the Savannah situation
began to develop have expressed
the opinion that the house and
senate which are aVowedly prohi-
bition, are likely 10 regard the
Savannah charter bill as an attempt
to punish Mayor Pierpont because
of his views on enforcing the new
laws.
For the purpose of counteracting
the growth of such a sentiment in
the legislature, which would mani
testify imperil the passage of their
bill, the Chatham representatives
and the senator from the First
have written a number of legisia-
tors requesting them to vote for
the bill when it comes up for pass.
age and denying the reports,
which have gained wide currency,
that there is any connection be-
tween Mayor Pierpont's program
and the proposal to cut his term
of Office in half.
1t was in furtherance of the
campaign for the bill, it is under
stood on reliable authority, tnat
Senator Lawrence came to Atlanta
and conferred with members.o of the
legislature and other A Ian ia
friends who are supposed to be
more or less influential in state
political affairs.
That the bill will be introduced
is certain, and it appears equally
certain that its passage will be OPP
posed. The Chatham representa-
tives will claim the privilege of
debating their own local Iegisla-
tive affairs, while the opponents
of the bill will take the position
that the proposition to legislate
out of office a mayor who is en-
forcing the prohibition laws raises
a statewide issue.

Middletown transcript., 1916-08-05

In spite Of the fact that American
women have been wearing furs during
the summer, the fur trade of the world
is in a bad way. This, of course, is
the result of the European war. It is
estimated that there are now on hand
in the fur concerns in London some
100000 muskrat furs from North
America, 100000 skunk skins, 54,.
900 Australian opossum skins, 127,-
900 civet skins, $4,000 fox skins and
1880 polecat skins. London cannot
dispose of this enormous number of
pelts, nor can Leipzig avail itself of
them. The heavy loss which the war
has caused the fur trade is indicated
by the fact that the price in Europe
last year for perfect black fox pelt
was $3.50, and now is $100. The cot
ton trade, which has been complain.
ing loudly of the effect of the war, has
not been hit nearly as hard as the
fur trade.
