HAULING BOOZE BECOMING
PRECARIOUS BUSINESS

Atlanta, Ga, August 3l.-Hauling
whiskey in automobiles has become
most precarious venture in Fulton
county, due to the activity Of both
the city and the county police, who
have begun to avail themselves of the
right to conhScatc and sell vehicles in
which liquor is found, no matter how
small the quantity
In the past week the county police
have put on the block and sold num-
Der of cars, raaging from fivvers to
cars costing well up in money. They
have become so expert at spotting
cars containing liquor that a blind til
ger must have an iron nerve and the
brain of Sherlock Holmes to get bv
with his cargo. Running the block
ade in the Spanish war was
no more exciting or hazardous ven
ture than running the liquor blockade
in Fulton county.

Summing it all up" says Editor
Kiley in his valedictory, "thc people
of Rochelle do not appreciate paper.
The best thing that could ever happen
to Rochelle would be for the paper to
suspend for a few months; the people
would then appreciate paper and
printing plant, and would learn to
look upon it as a business necessity,
not as a convenience"
The paper passes back into the
hands OF Mr.. c. w. Ham, owner of
the plant, who is a capable editor.

WILL DOUBLE TRACK LINE
TO THE SOLDIERS CAMP

Atlanta, Ga, August 2o-Prospects
for adequate transportation facilities
between Atlanta and Camp Gordon,
the great Cantonment twelve miles
north of the city where 10000 to So
OOO soldiers Of the National Army
will be trained, are brighter today
than they have been at any time since
the campaign was started, following
the action Of the finance committee
of the local street railway company
in tuahorizing the construction Of a
double track line to the camp.
The company was planning to build
a single track line when the Atlanta
newspapers launched a campaign for
a double track line, for shuttle train
service OR the steam railroad running
past the camp into the city, and for a
pavement on the highway leading
from Atlanta to the camp. The street
railway company directors were ia
vorable to a double track line, but the
expenditure had to be authorized by
the company's finance committee.
which consists of three eastern fnan-
ciers and H. M. Atkinson, of Allan

double track line will be built, that
the railroad will operate trains and
that the automobile highway will be

EVANGELIST JONES BREACHES
ON "S|NS Of FITZGERALD"

On thursday night Bob Jones
preached on THE Sins OF Fitzgerald"
His text was about the Apostle Paul
gong TO Athens and looking around
and the sin making him mad.
The sermon was cut short BY che
threatening elements, although most
OF The 5000 or more people in thea su-
dienee remained
In Athens Paul found the four saaas
es OF people-the Knockers, the pre-
eFastiRatsrs and the believers. Ana
Jones said that the best pay a prsaxA-
er ever had was the JOY in possessing
true believers in his flock.
In che beginning the preashsr de-
Clared that he was not knocking
Fitzgerald, as he had been aeeunsA
Of doing by some. He said he wo<
net knocking Fitzgerald but that he
was only going 10 knock the aexd cat
of Fitzgerald.
He admitted that Fitzgerald had ne
segregated vice and no organized vice
traffic, in which respect it differs froH
most growing cities Of 1O,eee pop&ia-
ton
However, he said, we had sambiing
hells. A gambler is worse than dog
en- thieves for a thief can take a boys
money while gambler can take a
boys money, his reputation, his ohar-
acter and his very soul
He said we had cursers. We have,
in fact, toe many. John Smith. VAez
he founded Jamestown made harsh
laws against profanity users. He said
that he had found that the only meR
that used profane language were the
weak and vicious and he could use
neither in his work
Sabbath dissertation is another cry
ing evil. If he had seven dollars and
lent man six of them and then the
man stole the last one, that man
would be dirty thief of the Vilest
sort. But when God divided the week
into seven days and gave six of them
to the human race and kept only the
seventh, and money mad mucker
stole that seventh, why the thief that
stole the seventh dollar was Christ
ian gentleman by comparison.
We have crooked politicians He
! told his hearers just what kind Of a
fellow a crooked politician was. And
I he told the truth, in every syllable
But he didn't name any men here whS
were crooked politicians. But the
quintessencc Of depravity, hellishness,
nastiness, dirtiness, crookedness, sin
fulness is the bootlegger Fitzgerald,
he says, has blind tiger operators Who
are taken into good society and con-
sidered gentlemen by our people. 1t
is the Gods truth that man who viii
sell this liquid hell-hre to a fellow
creature is on the lowest plane of hu-
manity. The kind of blind tiger liqaor
sold now is either SO miserably Weak
that it has to be poisoned BY it max
ers to make it salablc, or like Mule. I"
it is strong enough to literally burn a
mans soul Out in the first drink. In
deed blind tiger keeper and a soul
killing whiskey seller is mighty lsw
down. But he named no names.

FLAT FEET WON'T KEEP
YOU FROM GOING TO WAR

Atlanta, Ga, August 29-Apparently
the War Department has discovered
that fiat foot is common to negroes,
judging by an order which Mayor
Gambler Of this city has received from
Provost Marshal General Crowder in
Washington and which has been pass
ed on to the seven local boards of
Atlanta.
"a broad, fiat foot, commonly
known as fat foot, is common to all
laboring classes, particularly among
negroes" states the order, "and is in
no way disabling"
This means that neither white men
nor negroes will escape the draft be-
cause of fiat feet.
