WANT PROHI AND
VEAZY LAWS FIXED
STATE BAR ASSOCIATION SAYS
FIRST SHOULD BE AMEND
ED, LATTER REPEALED.

At the recent annual session of the
State Bar association Judge Samuel
B. Adams, as chairman of the COM
mittee on legislation, made the fol-
lowing report:
''This committee on legislation is
confined to state legislation. Hence
its report will be brief.
eve will not attempt to discuss
the various laws mentioned. We can
not forbear, however, the expression
of our regret that the Weary bill was
passed. Outside of the spirit which
inspired the legislation and any ques-
ton of its constitutionality, its terms
make its enforcement entirely i'm
practicable. 1t ought to be repealed.
1--WE will not discuss the 'bone-dry
legislation except to say that law
which makes criminals out of a large
per cent. of the people of the state
among class that are law-abiding
in their purpose and their desire, GER
tainly needs an amendment. There
are some things more important than
prohibition, however important this
may be regarded, and one of them is
respect for and an obedience to
law. Any legislation ought at least
TO have in it the promise of a general
observance by those members of the
body polite who are law-abiding, and
it ought to avoid the evil of evils in
cident to widespread lawlessness. The
bulk of US, perhaps all of us, APP
proved the passing of the saloon, and
are not disposed, if we had the pow
er, to repeal many of the features
of the present legislation. But it
ought to be amended in the interest
of real temperance and real prohibi-
ton, as well as in the interest of
real and wholesome law observance"

FARM LABOR CENSUS
FOR GEORGIA IS HALTED
State College of Agriculture and
Federal Government Both Want
To Boss. the Job.

The federal governments plan for
a farm labor census for Georgia and
a subsequent effort at equitable dis
tribution of farm labor throughout
the state has apparently, for the
time being, at least, gone upon the
rocks.
The representative of the federal
departments of labor and agriculture,
who was recently sent to Georgia to
supervise the census, which was to
be taken through the state food coun-
Gil with the cooperation of the eX-
tension agents of the state college
of agriculture, and various employees
of the state department of agricul-
ture, has returned to Washington.
His principal complaint against the
state college of agriculture seems to
have been that the authorities of the
college declined to subordinate it's
census activities to the supervision
of the representative of the federal
government, but, on the other hand,
desired that the federal government,
through its representative, operate
under the supervision of the college
of agriculture.
When the federal agent made this
report to Washington he was order
ed to return to the national capital

with the government in a voluntary
censorship to safeguard the passage
of the American officers.
In official quarters the departure
was so we'll surrounded with secrecy
that within the last few days many
government officials have been asking
when General Pershing would sail.
In Battle This Summer.
Reports from Paris yesterday said
sites for the camps Of American
troops had been selected. Presumably
General Pershing will inspect these
and make complete arrangements for
the reception of his troops.
Plans have matured sufficiently to
insure that General Pershing's divis-
ion, which will need only little
training behind the trenches, will be
in the fighting before the summer Is
over.

SOUTHERN ARMY
CHARGED THE CAPITAL
VETERANS OF CONFEDERACY
HOLD THEIR ANNUAL REUN-

Speakers Reference to United

Confederate veterans in Washing
ton for the first reunion ever held off
soil that was controlled by the con-
federacy during the civil war forced
the national capital in wartime to
throw open its arms to welcome the
survivors of an army that tried to
capture it more than half century
ago. Five thousand of the men who
followed Gen. Robert E. Lee and
other confederate generals bivouack-
ed within sight of the capitol last
week and were greeted on every
hand by prominent figures in Wash
ington. The flag of the confederacy
foated with the colors of foreign ma
tons and many were compelled to
brush up" to know if the stars and
stripes had found a new ally.
During the early hours of the re-
union the confederate survivors, paid
tribute to their dead and held exercis-
es near the monument of Gen Joe
Wheeler in Arlington cemetery.
The principal address of the reun-
ion was made by President Wilson,
who declared that love of self-gov-
eminent and liberty by the North
and South were the motive of the
civil war and that now this country
must make self-government and lib
erty safe for all mankind.
The rebel yell was heard for the
first time in Washington when the
veterans cheered the presidents ref
erence to the united spirit now pre-
vailing in America and to the "boys
of 1917" who are marching from
North and South to defend American
institutions.
General Harrison of Alabama was
reelected head of the veterans.

here in Georgia, will be at least $40
a quart after the "bone-dry" laws
become effective on July 1. Both
those states are listed as dry but
Virginia has allowed her citizens one

once $3.50 a gallon, now is nearing
the mark of $40 for like quality.
In Virginia scores of novel schemes
have been tried to smuggle whisky
into the state. Prohibition officers
have been constantly on the alert and
the business has not proven profit
able. In North Carolina and Geor-
gia illicit stills have been relied upon.

With but eight more days remain
