LIQUOR PEOPLE FIGHTING
IN THEIR LAST DITCH
Political Battle to Be Staged If the
! Present Attack on Eighteenth
Amendment Fails

That the next great fight with the
liquor element in this country will
be national political battle, is the
opinion of DR.. p. A, Baker, of the
Anti-Saloon League of America, in
Atlanta attending a meeting of lead
ing business men of the city who are
interested in the Prohibition En-
forcement Campaign.
1t is the opinion of DR.. Baker that
the attack of the liquor forces of
the Eighteenth Amendment in the
courts will fail as have all their other
attempts to prove the Prohibition and
Enforcement laws invalid.
The liquor men realize this fact,
he believes, and are coupling political
activities with their efforts to un-
dermine the effectiveness of the Pro-
hibition laws by encouraging its vio-
lation and obtaining lax enforce
ment
"They are by no means confirming
their efforts to the courts or to pro-
paganda work among the people, .
says DR.. Baker, 'but they already are
actually organizing their political
forces in twenty-four states at least
for the purpose of electing senator's
and congressman who will be pledged
to vote for repeal of the Prohibition
law, or at least, to weaken it in ev-
cry way that they can.
"This political move of the liquor
forces is the wisest one they could
make for they think they will catch
US alseep, and that very thing will
happen unless the friends of Prohibi-
ton stay on the job all the time and
do their duty at the polls.
"The necessity for funds to COM
bat this attack is readily apparent.
The vets have plenty of money be-
hind them and they will spend every
dollar of their ill-gotten gains to pre-
serve their destructive business.
"That is the reason every red
blooded man who loves his country
and who believes in law and order
should rally to the support of this
campaign for funds to carry on this
work which opens January 16, when
the Eighteenth Amendment goes into
effect, and which will continue one
week"

NUMBER OF new YEAR
Oh NCES in MARIETTA
The Personnel of Several Local
Establishments

At the end of a most prosperous
year Marietta finds several important
changes in her business establish
ments, some of which we have al
ready noted, others which were I'M
heralded up to the last days OF the
year
The most important perhaps, on
account of it's magnitude and posi-
BILE future effects, is the purchase OF
the business of Smith & Potts by the
Anderson-Duli -Varnell Co. of Knox
Vile, and the establishment in its
place of the Miller Cash Store Com
pany, which proposes to do business
heretofore unequaled in this section
This deal was consumated within
the last few days and the change has
already been effected.
Another change of equal magni-
tude in it's way is the dissolution OF
the firm of Brown, Allgood & Co.,
general supply dealers, of Marietta,
The stores and stock of this firm are
taken over by the firm of the Allgood-
Frey-Shaw Company, three named
members of the old firm joined by
Messfs. E. T. Lance and George
Whol a.
The, also have secured the store
next door which had been occupied
by the L. w. Rogers Co., on Cherokee
street, and they expect to greatly in
crease last years business.
Mr.. L. H. Brown who retires from
this firm is already engaged in the
auto and auto supply business on
Powder Springs street, to which he
will w give more of his time. He
has also formed a partnership with
Mr.. l.. G. Hawkins, and under the
name { Brown & Hawkins will do 6
groct and feed business in the store

& Nj 9skey, who retire from bust

The warehouse of Conner, Camp

of Mr. K. A. Campbell, has moved
from the location on Cherokee stree
to Washington Avenue opposite tn,
Court House, near the southeast cor

the t of cashier, and on Februar,

1.-THE MILLER STORE CO.
BUYS SMITH & POTTS
Will Conduct SANS Under Name Of
Miller Cash Store; of Great Inf-
portance to this Section

10y
Y The people of Marietta are to be
congratulated upon the entry into
their business lists of the famed Mil
Ter Cash Stores. This organization
is noted throughout the south for the
magnitude of their operations, their
ONE store il Knoxville being the lar
gest in the city. About fifty stores
are controlled in Tennessee, Ken
lucky, North Carolina and Alabama.
Eve have purchased the Smith G.
Potts store," said Mr.. Oscar Handy,
member of the Anderson-Dulin-
Varnell Co., of Knoxville, "for the
reason that we think this town is one
of the coming ones in the South, and
we want to establish ourselves here
and grow with it. The Smith & Potts
store has an enviable reputation and
we hope that the buying public Of
this vicinity will accord us the same
patronage that this store has enjoyed
in the past.
'We have extensive plans for en-
larging this store in the near future.
There is surely no reason why the
shoppers of this city should go to At
lanta to buy anything when our .es-
tablishment will offer even better
values than the store will in that
city,"
The Anderson-Dulin Varnell Co. is
especially privileged in the respect
that they are manufacturers of many
lines Of merchandise and in addition
to this are closely connected with
some of the largest mills in the coun-
try, being wholesalers, their outlet is
enormous.
No quantity is too large for US TO
handle provided the quality is right
The volume of goods which our
branch stores alone turn over isl tre-
mendous. One can readily see, how
we can secure the lowest prices which
it is our inviolate rule to always share
with our customers. That is the rea-
SON why we have earned the reputa-
tion Of quoting the lowest prices Of
any stores.
Probably the biggest innovation
which this new concern win inau-
gurate here will be the cash selling
idea All of the fifty stores in the
Miller chain are strictly cash stores,
there being Fp credit ones in the lots,
This plan of conducting retail stores
is rapidly forging to the. front, some
of the largest shopping emporiums
sell for cash only. There are tremen-
dous expenditures in credit selling
which the cash stores are enabled to
cut off completely, namely in dead
accountsA book keeping and the In
terest on J,ccounts, which amounts to
CONSIDERABLY
The new Miller cash store will be
large users of advertising space, in
all cities where they are established
they are, the largest advertisers,
thoroughly believing in the principal
that printers ink is the one and only
method of exploiting their merchan-
disc. The merchants of this city will
be pleased to see the Anderson-Du-
lin-Varnell Co. represented here, the
more attractive the values offered,
the less inclination there will be on
the part of the shoppers to make trips
to the nearby city.
"We will open our store with big
sale," said Handy. "closing out the
resent stock at wonderful savings.
The new stocks will be crisp, fresh
and new. Details of this event will
be announced at later date"

WILL WE HAVE BIMETALIsM?

Many people who attended the meeting of the Amer jean Mining Congress recently held in St. Louls, came back with the wrong impression of the objects Of the meetng C.

A CIVIC DREAM

The little city of Lakewood, Ohio needs good man! public improvements. just nest little cities do And its city engineer has dream.
 He would like to have the city buy large block oi unoccupied land adjoining the new and beautiful high school. There he would build the city hall and the new police station and the poStOficc and the memorial community building. There would be drives and lawns and shrubbery and public garden.
 What would 1t cost !'' Engineer Fisher asked 'Oh, l don't know-scvera hundred thousand dollars Of course. you understand, it is only dream
 The little newspaper which tells the story suggests that If sOnc publicninded citizen with wad of wanted do the city favor he could buy up this tory and make donation of 1t to the city,
 But if one man cannot do it alone. could not group of people do it-a big group. comprising almost every citizen! Why not! They always going to causes no worthy. Most ali civic beauty stays the land of dreams.
