PRICE APPOINTEES
TO GET SHAKING UP

Atlanta, an. 9.-Rumor here
has 1t that quite a little stir is
coming to the attaches OF the
state department OF agriculture
after the inauguration OF the new
state officers next June. 1t so
happened that the vacancies oc-
curing i'll the Offices OF oil inspec-
tors and fertilizer inspectors
throughout the state-of which
there is very considerable num-
bcr-canlc at time when ap-
polntment for the succeeding
term laps over the administration
OF Mr.. Price, and we'll into the adj
ministration of Mr.. Brown. In
fact, there was for time quite
a great deal of comment on the
fact that the incoming comnliss-
Toner of agriculture would have
powerfully little patronage to deal
out among his friends and sup
porterS when he goes into Office
and that it will be wei at the heel
OF his administrations least his
first term, for is known he is

port that Mr.. Brown is certain to
make a stir-up in tie Price APP
polntmcnts when he goes in. In
fact, it is said that this matter has
already been given investiga-
ton, and that the purpose is to
set aside a good many of Mr..
Prices appointecs and put Mr..
Browns appointces in their place.
1t IS not going to be the purpose,
according to the report to displace
all the Price appointees, but only
those who were active and vigo-
rOuS workers for Price in the re-
cent campaign; those who were
open, active opponents Of Brown.

the full fruition OF the chewing
gum managers advertising cam

Atlanta dealers declare the peo-
pie are really buying it by the

ed preposterous and they say the
sticIlers for good form are no
longer frowning upon gum in

they used to class it with tooth

KNOCKOUT BLOW
HANDED TO LIQUOR
BY SUPREME COURT

Washington, Jan. Sin the
most sweeping. of all decisions
upholding prohibition laws, the
supreme court today upheld as
constitutional and valid the
Webb-kenyon law, prohibiting
shipments OF liquor from wet
to dry" states. 1t also sustained
West Nirginia's recent amend
ment to her law prohibiting i'm
portation i'll interstate commerce
OF liquor for personal use.
After having been vetoed by
President Taft, who held it, un
constitutional and having been
repassed by congress over his We
to, the law was sustained by the
supreme court by a vote of I to
Z. Leaders of the prohibition
movement declare it is to their
hight second only in Importance
to the proposed constitutional
amendment.
Lawyers for liquor interests
heard the decision today admitted
1t upheld and applied the law in
Its fullest sense"
Chief Justice White announced
the majority opinion to which
Justices Holmes and Nandevan-
ter dissented. Justice Mickey
nolds, while agreeing with the
majority decision, did not concur
III the opinion.
The attracting power of
government over liquor is set
tied" said the chief Justice.
There was no intention of con-
gress to forbid individual use of
liquor. The purpose of this act
was to cut out by the roots the
practice OF permitting violation OF
state liquor laws.
I'VE can have no doubt that
congress has complete authority
to prevent paralyzlng OF state au-
thority.
Congress eXerted a power to
coordinate the national with the
state authority.
Under the Webb-Kenyon act
there is no power in interstate
commerce to ship liquor from one
state into another to enable it to
be used in any way prohibited by
the state"

The first reports of the local boards

The draft statistics of the civil war.

the best guide on the question. Such

tive draft forces.
