LESS WAISKEY Is
BEING DRUNK NOW

Atlanta, March 2.--Is Atlanta
really getting over the liquor-drink-
ing habit, rs the result Of the laws
which make it more difficult to get?
There seems to be some ground for
belief that she has. for figures just
verified show that during the
month of February ii;ast closed. the
liquor shipments into Fulton couu-
ty dropped very materially under
preceding months, in spite Of the
pending national legislation which
might bar it altogether.
A total Of 81, 1858 packages, con-.
tanning usually two quarts each,
were shipped into Fulton county,
which means principally Atlanta,
in February, as against figures.
ranging from $4,000 to 10000
packages for November, December
and January.
II is said that great many peo-
ple have gradually given up drink
| ing owing to the inconvenience
which the present method Of get
ting it put upon the individual.

EXTRA SESSION TO Be
CALLED MARCH 20

Atlanta, Ga, March 7,-Gover-
nor Harris has finally and defnate-
Iy decided to call an extra session
of the Georgia general assembly to
Tuesday. March Goth, to consider
dry bone" prohibition legislation
and the deficiency in the pension
fund.
The governor notified newspaper
men late last night of his decision
to call the extra session, and stated
that the formal proclamation, to-
gether with reasons for the call
would be announced Thursday.
The governor states that the Reed
amendment to the postoffice APP
preparation bill, providing for bone
dry" prohibition, is inadequate,
because under its provisions liquors
may be shipped into the state m-
der the pretext of being used for
saclamental and medicinal purpes-
es.
The Reed amendment, under a
Joint resolution adopted by the
house and senate of the United
States last Saturday night and
signed by President Wilson Sunday,
will not become effective until July
/, next.
The governor was asked today by
a delegation from the Georgia Wo-
mems Suffrage association to in
clude equal suffrage in his call for
an extraordinary session Of the
legislature. The delegation, com
posed Of Mrs. Mary l.. Mcl-endonl
Mrs. Emma +. Martin and Mrs.
Anne il Woodall, prts nted 9
memorial to the governor, and Ton
about 80 minutes, argued to Inn
their reasons for believing he should
make that one Of the legislative sub
iect matters in the extra session
The governors reply was that he
expects to hold the cost Of the extra
session within $20.000, and to in
clude their request would mean thai
the legislature would be in session
a very considerable length OF time
that every member would most
likely want to make a speech on the
subject. He did not feel. he tolc
the ladies, that he can include sui
frage, and for the reasons he gave
was compelled to decline the request

mr.. B. {. POWELL
ELECTED ROAD WARDEN

In the regular meeting of the
Commissioners Court last Tuesday
Mr.. B. E. Powell was elected Road
Warden to take the place of Mr.. j.
w. Page, who has been serving
since the death of Capt. J M. Nc
Bride last July. Mr.. Page has had
unusual disadvantages since taking
charge Of the road affairs owing to
the extreme heavy rainfall last
summer and the small number Of
convicts he has had.
No charges were brought against
him.
Mr.. Powell has had considerable
experience in this line of work anu,
we are sure, will make a good man.
1t is understood that plans were
adopted for the new Court house,
and that advertisements will be
shortly made for bids to construct
under the revised plans.
The subject of tick eradication
WAS brought up, but action was de-
ferred pending further investigation
of the subject.
An extra session will be held on
Tuesday, March Goth, and all un-
finished business will be taken W
at this meeting.

IMPORTANT CASE In COURTS
OF LEE HELD LAST WEEK


An important case was heard in
Leesburg last week, several Lees
burg people being interested there
in. 1t is The case brought by w.
I. Cock, who is sueing for 900
acres Of land formerly belonging TO
the Douglas Sneed estate, which
the plaintiff alleges was devised to
him. Sneed died in 1853. Testi-
mony was heard before W. P. Wal
lis, as auditor, with w. G. Martin
w. 7. Laae and ] e Sheppard re-
presenting Mr.. Cock, while counsel
representing those in possession d
property being sued for are r R For
roster, Of Leesburg, and III. A. Will
kerson, of Dawson. The property
involved in the suit, much of which
has been vastly improved since
the death OF Sneed, embraces prac-
tically three-fourths the town OF
I4eesburg, it is said, and is consid-
cred to be very valuable. Two days
were consumed in the hearing OF
evidence before Auditor Wallis, and
much interest centers in the final
outcome Of the suit.

vented them from seeing the approach
of the express and it was upon them
before they had an opportunity to es-
cape. The body Of Parkinson was bad

IF YOU LIKE THE NEWS, TAKE IT.

Two weeks ago we returned to
publishing an eight page paper,
and from the information receiv-
ed at this office the resumption
was very gratifying to our pa
irons. In these times of war
and high prices it requires quite
an outlay of money to publish a
paper Of this size, but If the
friends of The News through
out AGair and adjoining counties
will support the publication as
they should, we can run with its
present size. In making the
change we 10 not raise the price
of the paper, as many pub
fishers have done. 1t remains at
one dollar per year, provided
the subscription is paid in adj
vance. In fact, our patrons
should understand that it is nec-
essary to pay in advance, as our
expenses are great. One dollar
is not much money, but when
we get many dollars together
we are able to pay cash for
our material and keep our ma
chinery going.
We are making aneffort to pub
lish paper, creditable slike to
ourselves and to those who read
it. A home paper, one that en-
deavors to give all the news
weekly and wholesome opinions
upon subjects that are agitating
the minds of the people, should
be a welcome visitor to every
household.
When a member of family
dies it is the home paper that
speaks of the good traits of the
deceased, and in consoling words
does its best topacify the living.
When a child is born into the
world, the paper tells of its adj
vent. If you are sick and can
not look after your business, the
local paper tells your friends of
your condition.
If yon have left your native
county and are living IN a dis
tant State. if you are a subscribe
er for this paper, you learn week
Iy of the doings of your friends
at home. Therefore, we urge
upon every man in Adair coun-
