day for $2.64, with interest at 7 Der
cent since last August, against w. J.
Dodson, city meat inspector.
Mr.. Alexander brought a 33-pound
calf into Macon in August, and carried
it to the meat Inspector. Mr.. bod
son refused to allow the meat to be
sold, claiming that it was under the
required weight. He DESTROYED the
meat
lmme diately Mr.. Alexander BROUGHT
suit in municipal court against Mr..
Dodson. The case has been I'D for
trial several times on minor points.
1t was settled yesterday, unless Mr..
Dodson appeals to superior court.
In bringing the suit, Mr.. Alexander
states that he cared nothing for the
money involved, but that he wanted
to INK the rights of the meat inspec-
tor to destroy meat that is BROUGHT
to town.
It's the principle of the thing"
said Mr.. Alexander. 1t has cost A.
least SIS to prosecute the case"

PROHIBITION JUBILEE
IN ATLANTA TONIGHT

Atlanta, Ga. March l9-Bone dry
legislation prohibiting the shipment
of any quantity of whisky, wine and
beer into the state of Georgia Tor any
purpose will be passed by the general
assembly with practically no opposi-
ton, in the opinion of senator's and
representatives gathered here today
on the eve of the extra session called
| by Governor Harris.
AT O'Clock this afternoon the gov
crnor will submit to members OF the
| house and senate draft Of the bill
which he would like for them to pass,
and will invite criticism and discus
| sion and the making OF such changes
as may be required TO conform to the
views OF the majority, and will then
ference to pledge themselves to vote
for and support the bill when it comes
UP for passage. \ feature Of the gov
errors bill will be the creation of a
state prohibition commissioner He
proposes to place the duties of this Of
| fee upon the commissioner of COM
nerce and labor, so as to avoid Great
| ing a new Office and new salary. The
commissioner will keep the records of
all transactions under the prohibition
law, which county ordinaries will be
required TO furnish him at regular
intervals, and will exercise general
supervision over the enforcement Of
the law throughout the state.
While the governor has not made
public the full details of his bill, it is
known that its effect. if passed will be
to prohibit the shipment Of any whis-
ky, wine and beer into the state in
any quantity for any purpose, with
the exception that it will probably
permit the shipment OF alcohol to be
used in the practice of medicine and
the preparation Of prescriptions and
in science and manufacture, and will
probably permit the shipment Of small
quantities Of wine to be used for sac
ramental purposes.
There is no idea among members
of the Legislature that the passage Of
bone dry legislation will be opposed
in an organized way. One-ffth of the
members of the house by voting to-
Igether could carry on a 3Rlibuster, but
its only effect would be to delay the
passage Of the legislation. and they
would be under the pressure of public
sentiment for prolonging the extra
session at great expense TO the state.
Hence no filibustering IS expected.
/ Tonight in the Atlanta auditorium
will be held the most notable prohi-
bition jubilee in the history of the
state. Governor Harris will call it to
order, Chairman William J. Harris
OF the Federal Trade Commission will
preside, and United States Senator
Hoke Smith and Thomas w. Hard
wick, of Georgia, will deliver the
principal addresses OF the evening
Besides these, a number of other
prominent speakers will make short
talks, including Congressman, Charles
G. Edwards and Mayor w. J. Pier
pont, of Savannah, Mrs. w. H. Eel.
ton, of Gainesville, and Mayor Asa
G. Gambler, of Atlanta.
