= Liquor Law Violations

Announcement today by federal officials of
the existence Of an alleged whisky ring" in this
lily that may impcate high officials in its opera
tons, and the presence of evidence to substan-
tate their guilt, is only the forerunner of prose-
cutions that will follow Inevitably in the wake of
the disclosures
The citizenship of Richmond believes that the
illicit sale and transportation of liquor here
should be checked at once by drastic action, so
that the supremacy of the law may be upheld
and the evildoer learn that he cannot violate the
statutes persistently and for his own gain.
The ramifications of this local ring" it is
said, extend to violators in other states. Rich.
mond is one of the stations on line running
from the Ohio river to Chicago, the revenue Of
ficers say and liquor, after it reaches this city,
is distributed to other points in this section of
the country.
Fortunes have been made by local men, the
revenue officers assert, by selling liquor here and
by enlisting the cooperation Of confederates in
it's distribution to other communities. That the

State Elections.

An indication of the way prohibit

country since the operation of the
Eighteenth amendment was seen
here this week in the vote given
Joseph w. Bailey, formerly U. S.
Senator from Texas. and Represent
ative James p. Buchanan OF the
Tenth Texas district.
Both men are avowed vets and
opponents of the drastic prohibition
laws.
Determined opposition was given
both by the dry forces in Texas.
Bailey will be forced to enter a run
off primary with his nearest op-
ponent. 1t is understood in Wash
ington that he will make liberaliza-
tion of present enforcement laws
one of his foremost planks.
Not only has Mr.. Bailey injected
his views on prohibition into the
Texas campaign but he has for sew
prohibition taken by Senator Morris
Sheppard. of Texas. one of the spon-
sors of dry legislation in Congress.
The opposition to Representative
buchanan Centered largely upon his
prohibition record. The "drys" used
his record in Congress on wet and
dry legislation extensively in the
campaign. Mr.. Buchanan was a
pronounced enemy of prohibition
and an ardent disciple of personal
liberty in all debates.

bail to answer charges of receiving
100000 worth of stolen bonds in
New York City in connection with
the s5,Ooo,0oO bond robbery.
Names John It. Davis.
Sullivan named John T Davis,
son of the late Henry Gassaway
Davis, candidate for the Vice Presi-
dency with Judge Alton B. Parker
on the Democratic ticket in 1904,
as correspondent. Davis admitted
when the trial was on that he had
been with Mre. Sullivan in the
Bellevue Hotel in this city and at
other places in other cities. He also
admitted having lived with the
woman and spent large sums on
her. The checks, representing these
contributions to Mrs. Sullivan, were
introduced as evidence in the court.
They were drawn on the Elkins
Trust Company of Elkins, W. Va,
of which Davis is vice president.
Most Of the checks were made out
to Nan Stock" Stock being Mrs.
Sulltvan's maiden name.
Despite all this evidence, which
was apparently in Sullivan's favor,
his complaint was dismissed. but
without costs This was because
Sullivan attempted TO induce his
wife not to fight the suit, according
to the courts opinion.
Case Reopened.
The case was reopened several
weeks ago in order to allow at
torneys for Mrs. Sullivan to at
tempt to prove that Sullivan had
condoncd her offenses with Davis
by stopping overnight with her at
the Empire Hotel in New York City
shortly before the suit was filed.
Sullivan attempted to combat this
evidence by seeking to prove that
both he and his wife were at the
Hotel Pennsylvania in New York
City on that date, but occupied diff
ferent rooms on different floors.

HOW WE MADE GOOD !.
! MONEY LAST YEAR
Hastings Declares That Southern
Farmers Can Repeat the Past
Years Prosperity, II
They viii

! Atlanta, Ca SpeciaO-"The gen
crafty Of Southern farmers made rea
money out Of their farming operations
IN 1919, more profit than most Of them
ever made before, despite boil weevil
hnfavorable seasons and labor short
age"
This statement was made recently
by H. G. Hastings, president of both
the Southeastern Fair Association anC
the Georgia State Chamber of Com
merce, in discussing general farm
conditions in the South.
Very naturally most of this farm
prosperity is credited to the higf
price of cotton and, of course, the higt
price helped, but the real down-at-the
bottom reason was that most farmer.
owned their cotton when it was made
instead of owing 1t for food anC
grain bought on credit, as used to BIZ
the case when the practice was to grow
all or nearly all cotton and buy or
credit all or nearly all food, grain, etc
Present farm prosperity is due
largely to what DIR. Bradford Knapp
head of the demonstration work, has
so aptly termed Safe Farming, which
is nothing more or less tltan growing
on home acres every pound of food
grain and forage needed for family
and live stock use. When this is done
every other available acre can wisely
and safely be put in cotton or other
cash crop.
1.-THE expense of making cotton OF
other cash crop is, either directly OF
indirectly, the cost of food for man
and beast that works the crop. Most
items Of food and grain can be pro
duced on southern farms at one-thirG
to one-half what those same items
cost from supply merchants.
We made money last year by fol
lowing the only way that insures per
manent farm prosperity, home pro
duction Of home food and grain needs
We can repeat this money making in
1920 by following the same common
sense way that put US right last year
and will keep US right in 1920 and
every year, If we follow it up and not
gamble in cotton planting.
It's great temptation to gamble
IN cotton in 1920-gamble in cotton
In the field, which is just as bad as
gambling in cotton on the New York
or New Orleans exchanges. l know
some folks who are planning to
double cotton acreage this year. They
are headed for disaster sooner or
later. The wise farmer will play safe
"a 1s2O-play safe by doing safe farm.
