MOST DRASTIC IS
HARRIS LAW FOR
BONE DRY STATE

ATLANTA, Ca, March 20.-What is
considered the most drastic prohibit
tion legislation ever introduced or
PASSED in any state was submitted by
Governor Harris on yesterday after
noon to caucus of senators and rep
resentatives and introduced simultan-
eously today in the house and senate
at the opening of the extra session
called by the governor.
That the bill will be passed with
practically no organized opposition is
the general opinion among members OF
the house and senate, although there
Is some talk of a possible attempt by
the nti-prohibition minority to force a
compromise in the effective date of
the bill by putting it off several
months. This, however, would mean
that the extra session was a waste of
time and money, and would be plainly
In the interest of liquor dealers In ad-
joining states who have large supplies
on hand which they are anxious to
unload in Georgia, and hence it is not
considered likely that such an attempt.
even if made, will succeed.
Repeats Present Shipping Law.
The governors bill repeals the pres
ent shipping law, which permits the
shipment to one individual in period
Cf thirty days of two quarts of whis-
key, or four quarts of wine, or twenty
four quarts of beer; and repeals ire
clause of the present omnibus prohi-
hition law permitting an individual 20
have on hand the quantity of whiskey,
or wine or beer which is permitted to
he shipped by the shipping law.
The bill then prohibits any person
from having on hand any quantity Of
vhiskey in any place for any purpose
II makes a violation of the law mis-
domeanor, punishable by fine of $1,000
OF imprisonment for one year, either
or both, and makes each subsequent
violation felony, punishable by i'm
prisonment during one to five years,
without the privilege of paying fine.
1t prohibits the shipment into the state
Of any whiskey, or wine, or beer. to
any individual in any quantity, for
any purpose.
Two Exceptions Are Made.
Two very slight exceptions, and two
only, are made in the bill. The first
of these permits the shipment of alco-
hoI for medicinal, pharmaceutical and
manufacturing purposes, under the
strictest sort of regulation; and the
second permits the shipment of wine in
small quantities for sacramental pur
poses, also under strict regulation.
If the bill is passed and its passage
seems assured, any person who has
in his or her possession, at home or
anywhere else, any quantity of whis-
key, or wine, or beer. will be guilty
Of a misdemeanor; and if he or she is
found a second time i'll possession Of
liquor or wine or beer; the penalty
will be one to five years imprison
ment.

conditions at the United Galleries In

been Communicated by the Southern
1 road, causing an acute shortage in
I Bristol and at the asylum in Marion
returned to Richmond yesterday and
his report will be taken UP with the
/ Washington authorities as soon as pos
sible.
Fuel Administrators Byrd received
letter from Federal Administrator

! to close amusement halls In Michigan.
but as yet no similar action has been
taken by authorities here
The situation at Bristol. Norfolk.
Roanoke and Ham pton remains about
the same as II has been for the last
week. The shortage at Lexington has
been relieved.
The old Clayton mines in Henrico
county, only twelve miles from Rich
mond. will be opened as soon as prac-
tical, which in all probability will be
within the next three months, and
their output Will so long way to-
ward supplying the entire city. The
mines are owned by Sam Dixon and
others, who are the owners of sew
eral operations along the Loup Creek
division of the G. and O. In West Viz
gfnia. but these operators discontinued
work because of the expense Of shaft
mining In the face of the cheaper
methods where the straight entry Is
possible.
These mines are among the oldest
in the United States and were worked
more than a hundred wears ago The
tract contains 5000 acres, and the
coal is said to be OF good quality
Their product is estimated at 500 tons
daily, and the prices authorized by
the fuel administration are as follows.
$3.50 ton for run-of mine. 81 a ton
for prepared sizes. $3.50 a ton for
slack. (. o. b. cars at the mines. The
freight rate to Richmond is as cents
In an effort to conserve the supply
in Richmond. Mr. Byrd yesterday
wrote the following letter to Rev @.
w Kemper. president Of the Rich
mond Ministerial association;
My Dear MIR. Kemper:
You are no doubt aware of the
acute shortage of coal that now exists
1t Is estimated that the production OF
coal is fifty million tons less than our
minimum domestic requirements and
our essential shipments for the needs
Of our allies, This shortage IS due
to three causes: % Increased con-
sumption because OF war demands.
go Transportation difficulties go
Labor trouble at the mines.
The suggestion has been made and put
into effect elsewhere, that churches
have union services so far as pos
slble until the coal crisis is over.
have no doubt that the production
from the mines and transportation
facilities will be SO fully organized hy
tions will be materially improved.
The administration hesitates to make
any suggestion which will in any way
'..terfere with holding religious ser.
vices. q simply call the above facts
10 your attention. II union services
are not seriously Objectionable. the
resulting saving of coal viii unques-
tionahly do much TO relieve the pres
ent situation. q
