LAUGH LIKE HELEN B
HAPPY

Billy Single" Clifford has this sea-
son the greatest laughing novelty, en-
titled Walk This Way" 1t is not a
farce, nor comedy, but musical alb
surdity. Just when you think there is
plot, you laugh it into forgetfulness.
AS Dr. Gay, Billy Single" Clifford has
the best fitting role he has had in
many seasons, and everywhere t he
press has been most kind in Iauding
him as the great English comedian.
Mr.. Clifford, however, is an American,
and his comedy is pure-spun American.
But he certainly has a great field in
English comedy characters.
While Miss Clark is said to be the
prima donna of the company and re-
veals voice of great clearness and
beauty with a delightfully."- clear enun-
citation, she nevertheless shows that
she would make very clever charac-
ter comedienne. Mae Ginger" Collins,
the girl who put the pin in ginger, puts
over "Flossie Ginger demure little
stenographer in a most bewitching
manner, while the Three Weston Sis
ters show great versatility in their
respective parts, as well as putting
over one of the greatest vaudeville
acts. AS musicians they are supreme,
and their wonderful playing is the only
pace in Walk This Way" that you
fill not laugh like Helen B. Happy.
Walk This Way" appears this Fri
day evening, February 25th, at the
Opera House.

MACON WINS BIC
VICTORY IN HER
LIQUOR FIGHTS

MACON, Ca, Feb 25.-Realizing
that the jig is up; that further re-
sistance is useless, and will only
tend to make the waters muddier; and
that it is better to get out with whole
instead of half skin, the men who
have been engaged in the sale of whis-
key in Macon in violation of the law
are suing for peace.
Up to yesterday % of them had sign
ed a pledge never again to engage in
the sale of intoxicating liquor in Ma
con; to close their places of business
never to be opened again for that line
of business and to ship back to the
persons from whom they bought it
their entire stocks of whisky. In con-
Slleration of this action they ask that
all prosecutions be dropped or, in
other words, that the slate be wiped
eff clean and that they be permittei
to so without further trouble and
become good and law abiding citiz-
ems
The desires of the whisky men, as
they had been communicated to the
mayor and attorney, were laid before
the Law Enforcement league officials
ard the subject discussed from it's diff.
ferent angles. So far as could be
learned the only hitch that developed

Make Complete Surrender.
The proposition of the whisky men
is a complete surrender on their part,
their whole desire now being to gee
out of the business, a business which
they admit illegal, but which they
claim has been winked at to a certain
extent in the past. If it is agreed by
those parties behind the anti-whisky
campaign to drop all, prosecutions, the
whisky men Voluntarily agree to get
out of the business entirely and never
again give the city any trouble Il
that respect. What is more, they
agree to send every bottle of whisky
they have in their posses sion back 20
the liquor houses from whom they
purchased it, thereby making Macon a
city without liquor in fact as well as
in name.

pretty generally understood that with
a very few exceptions they have been
selling whisky as well as beer. TWEEN
weight of them yesterday singned the
pledge referred to and it is understood
tire balance of them, or practically all
OF them, will agree to do so today as
soon as they are acquainted with the
details of the agreement.
II was agreed at the conference in
Mr.. Burghard's Office yesterday that
rather than have the city torn by
strife and things as a whole demora'-
lied as they have been the last few
Gays, it would be better to accept the
proposition of the whisky men, there
by accomplishing the desired end not
only quickly but effectively. The de-
sired end, of course, is the absolute
sroppage of the sale of whisky.

The Fairs are Worth While

Nobody doubts that the FAIRS large
and small. which have been in pro
gross during the past two months,
arc of wonderful benefit to our state.
The advertisements of the WesseruE-
sett Valley Fair, in anouther column
emphasizes, perhaps, the most strlK-
ing reason why our fairs are worm
all the labor and cost which 1t taxes
10 keep them going.
OF course the Wesserunsett Valley
Fair is way ahead of the average for
the small community show. 1t is
well enough to reason, however. that
IL il leads to the sale of three thou
sand dollars worth of live STOCK
somewhat similar results, aggregat-
ing an important total, must follow
from the other fairs, larger and
smaller than Athens.
1t must be understood that stimu-
lating live stock sales is only one
of the functions of an agricultural
fair. There are thousand ana one
other ways in which they are useful
but somehow we can all grasp bene-
fits that are expressed in dollars and
cents more readily than those which
come to us thru other channels.
1t is none too early to commence
TO plan for the Fairs of 1917.
