THE NEW CLUB IDE A
is TAKING BETTER THAN ANY
PUBLIC MOVEMENT IN RE-
CENT YEARS.

Never before in the history of
Brunswick have the people OF this
city taken hold of any proposition
with such marked interest and en-
thusiasm as they have the Twenty
five Thousand Club. Each day brings
additional material into the organiza-
ton and many citizens have not yet
of next week to have at least $50 live
and enthusiastic members enlisted.
Many telephone calls have been re-
ceived asking that the names of per
sons not already enrolled be added
to the membership list and Judge
Isaac requests all those who have not
been seen and interested in the move
ment to call MIN on the phone and
he will cheerfuIly add their names tC
the roll of honor.
All over the city, with men and
women alike, there is an air of pro
gress and renewed enterprise and a
determination to do something at
once to make Brunswick the real wide
awake arN progres, i've city which
nature and natures God intended ii
should be.
Some evening about the middle of
next week the mass meeting OF
Brunswick's progressive men and
, women will be held at the city hall
and permanent organic alton lerfect

, been giving considerable publicity to
this new movement and are no doubt

A FLOATING TIGER
LAUNCH "MAYPOP" WITH FORTY
QUARTS ON BOARD AND THE
OWNER is ARRESTED.

Officer Robert Levison, of the local
police department struck a floating
tiger and the man in charge, Jake
Atkinson, was arrested and the liquor
taken to the barracks.
D. Atkinson has been suspected for
some time but Ocicer Levison waited
until he knew he had evidence on the
man and felt satisfied that there was
liquor on the boat and he was justi-
fled in his 'think" as there was quite
quantity on board, about forty
quarts which had been purchased in
Fernandina the day before and
brought here probably for sale to the
thirsty of dry town.
In speaking of liquor boats a large
number pass here every week enroute
gunnels passed the oyster factory OF
J. B. Abrams a few days ago asked
Mr. Abrams to let him have some oil
and slipped off without paying for 1t
At least ten of the "booZe" boats pass

are engaged in the business betweer
Fernandina and this city and as there
is no trouble in disposing of the wet
goods at a good profit the induce

indeed, very enticing and business

PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS
Local Receipts Over All Ways of
Receiving the Forbidden Stuff
Have Shown a Rapid Increase
Since the Very First Day OF
Rigid Prohibition.

Liquor is pouring into South Geor-
Ria towns at an unprecedented rate
It Is evident that the male half of the
population is making what arrange
ments they can for some hilarity at
Christmas under prohibition regime
The women too are putting their huS
bands In the way Of temptation and
affording them an excuse to place
their orders. by insisting upon little
Of the prohibited fluid with which to
season their cakes and puddings,
At the offices of all the public car
riers records show an increase in
shipments all along the line. Hun
their November shipment at such a
time that the necessary thirty days
would elapse in time for them to Sc
cure another shipment for the holi-
days. Many of the previous ship
ments are now stored to be consoli-
dated with the Christmas shipments,
so that there will be no lack of nogg
and toddy for the Yuletide.
Police records show a tremendous
decrease in the number of "drunks",
but the records in the office of the
ordinary show a corresponding in
crease in the number of shipments OF
booze coming in from jacksonville and
Fernandina Reports from other
counties show that similar state of
affairs is existing all over the state.
The increase in the number OF liquor
shipments has been gradual for sew
eral months.
One of the most telling effects OF
, the operation of the prohibition law
Is the scarcity of beer. There Is
more liquor in evidence and T. in
easier to secure than beer. People as
rule would be better satisfied to do
without their liquor if they nigh.
have moro ready access to little of
the milder liquid.
Booze boats between Brunswick
and Fernandina are bring much OF
people as well as the other race are
engaged in the business. Automobile
| lines, too, are getting busy to the
Florida wet places and bring a great
amount of whiskey, etc. here where
public sentiment is against the fana-
+ ticsm of the last Georgia legislature.
Some Of the very best citizens violate
J this law by getting their non-drinkinR
| friends to order for them and some Of
the best people In the community 80
| so far as to get their wives to use
their names for their wants. It Is a
/ fact that the new law has caused more
trouble than any other agency in this
city as the American people do not
like to be deprived of liberty In a
liberty-loving country.
AS far as this city is concerned 1t
is an easy matter to get all the whis-
key one wants from Jacksonville and
Fernandina but the up-country places
are havig a hard time in getting their
liquid refreshments. 1t is human
nature to want something you cannot
get and with the whiskey IT is npt
exception. The writer saw one of
the fathers of the present prohibition
law so drunk in Atlanta that he spank
ed a bady in the depot snatching il
from the arms of its mother re was
fined and the very next dav made {
prohibition speech when the ques.
ton was brought up.

ANOTHER FREAK
BILL IS TO COME

ATLANTA, Dec. 8.-Will cigarettes

Bills to prohibit the sale or ship

their authors will urge action as dras-
tic as that which has outlawed the

Another piece Of reform legislation
which has been suggested is a law to

"All persons whatever are forbid selling liquor to the Indians. If any sutler or soldier shall presume to act contrary to this prohibition the for mer shall be dismissed from camp and the latter receive severe corporal punishment"
 Washington wanted to control the drlnker, so he proceeded to control the trade, and in these two cases at least his control amounted to prohibi- tion.
 After all, Washington was a man real he-man, as they say out West. With hungry, ragged, badly-armed, untrained plow-boys he fought a regu- lar army for seven years, and while the aggregate of his enlistments was large, he was almost always outnum- bered on the field of battle.
