sippi. urged that heavier fines and
terms OF Imprisonment be imposed
in the lower courts as a means of
reducing the traffic in liquor.
Judge Carroll stated that, based
on in formation he had received, the
traffic in liquor in Lowndes county
excee ded that of any other county in
his district except one. He stated
that his information relative to this
county may be erroneous, but he
believed where there was insistent
complaint there must be some cause
for the complaints.
He called upon the lower courts
to impose heavier fines and impose
sentences of Imprisonment as an eff

evil to large extent.

Tuesday Morning-City Must Sub
scribe $4,000 More-Banks
TO do Their Share.


| II is determined that Lowndes
county shall do her full duty by the
government and the boys who fought
for the inetgrity and honor of the
nation.
This decision was reached at a
citizens meeting Monday. afternoon
al headquarters in the Gunter Bros.
old stand building on Main street.
The meeting was attended by all of
the committee chairmen and many
others.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Ira L. CASTOR. chairman for the
county.
According to reports submitted by
Mr. F. P. Phillips, director of sales.
the county must raise $4,000 this
week in order to reach the minimum
quota of $365,5OO. He stated that
the banks of the county would prob
ably take 100000 of the quota, and
that the people must take the bal
ance. He reported that up to Mon
day night less than $125,O90 had
been subscribed.
Committees started out again
Tuesday morning in an effort TO se-
cure additional subscriptions from
those who had already subscribed.
4 is hoped that many thousands
OF dollars in bonds will be sold as
result Of the operation of this plan
II was put squareIy up TO the peo-
pie that they must buy and buy to
the limit to maintain the honor and
Integrity of the county. The sem
timent of the meeting was that the
cOunty's quota must be written at
all costs, and an enthusiasm of de-
termination permeated the meeting
The drive ends Saturday night and
it is confidently expected that by
that time the county win have gone
over the top, but it is going 10 re-
quire earnest effort and sacrifice on
the part Of every person in the c0un-
Fty who is able TO buy bonds.
Mr. NJ. w. Erwin. cashier of the
Bank of Crawford, was present at
the meeting and said the prairie
and Crawford sections would guar
antee their quotas. In fact, he said
his bank had underwritten the Craw-
ford quota, but an effort would be
made to raise the quota by popular
subscription.
With the banks taking a. hundred
thousand of the quota there is left
in the county $4,000 for the peo-
pie to take, and at least $50, 600
of this amount must come from Co
lnmbns. This is the situation which
faces the county this morning with
only -four more days to go to the
close of the drive.
The question is up to the people,
What are you going to do?
