WOMEN CONTRIBUTE TO
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN
FUND IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, Ga, November o.
Although the women of Georgia
cannot cast their ballots for Will
son IN the election tomorrow,
which they would certainly do if
they had the right of suffrage, Just
as the women of Illinois and other
western states are going to do,
they can and have contributed
substantially to the Wilson cam
palgn by raising money for the
Democratic national committee.
No less than 81, 500 has been Sc
cured by the women of the state
working under the direction of
Mrs. Emma I. Martin, of this
city, who was appointed by John
d. Walker, of Sparta, chairman of
the Democratic campaign COM
mittee in Georgia, to take charge
of this department of the cam
paign few weeks ago.
This amount does not include
the money that will be raised to-
day, for the women will not close
their campaign until the last man
is out in the last half of the ninth
inning, SO to speak. They are 60
ing to keep on working right up
to the last moment. They have
raised their money by selling Will
son buttons, giving benefit per-.
formances in theaters and motion
picture shows, holding bazaars
and in numerous other WAYS.
Their contribution to the Demo
cratic campaign fund is all the
more remarkable in view of the
fact that all of their subscriptions
have been in smallEamounts.

IGNORANCE OF PROHI
LAW EXCUSES NO ONE

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 6.-Ignor-
ance of the law will be no excuse
in favor of Will Moore, an Allan
ia negro on whose premises the
police found nine gallons of sweet
mash corn liquor, and who is be-
ing held on charge of violating
the prohibition law.
The negro claims he has had
the liquor two years and was
keeping it for his own personal
use with no idea Of selling it in
violation OF the law. But since
he got the liquor a new prohibi-
ton law has been passed in Geor-
gia, and this law limits an indi-
Vidual to two quarts.
1t was this two-quart limit
which Will Moore claims he
knew nothing about.
