Georgians Have Promising Ways
When Talking About Liquor

So that's the way it's done in Georgia, ana
that's the way they are quenching the thirst
Of the Empire State OF the South.
All the consumers are now saying that
they hate liquor as mortal enemy and de-
plore that they ever so far forgot themselves
as to press foot on brass rail and keep
it there until the porter came around with
broom at closing time to sweep the place
out. They tell each other between drinks
and tears about the pitiful case OF "Old
Sam" who never touched liquor in the old
days. always drank beer until they took it
away from him, and absolutely compelled
him, yes. sir, forced him to drink liquor.
They are all saying that il they could just
get light wines and beer back they would
never touch another drop of liquor.
Georgians have mighty promising ways
when they are talking about liquor. but it
is all promises. There was once a time
no objections to Statewide prohibition. but
that this thing of having Atlanta dry and
jug Tavern (Which has since adopted the
more dignified name of Winder) and Grit
fin wet and getting all the money was wrong.
So the roh:bitionists took them ut their
word and gave them Statewide drought.
Immediately the Georgians loudly cried
that they would not object to a dry State
if the rest Of the United States suffered
also. NatloHai pron1nltlon, tnat dream OK
the dreamer. they would agree to. They
would keep the law and love 1t and EN-
brace it if it were made to apply to all OF
the United States. Evidently some one be-
lieved them. because they got their national
prohibition. Now they protest that they will
observe the law il they can get back light
wines and beer"
The truth Is that neither Georgians nor
any one else can he believed on this liquor
question. Ninety-nine men out a hundred
will stop and help pick up the coins that
have spilled from blind heggar's tin cup
and return every one to him, millions Of men
can be trusted with money unlimited, with
the integrity of a home or the honor Of a
friend, but where is the man who can b
trusted with q half pint Of liquor?

OWN in Georgia some wag with a
nimble brain. a fountain pen and
three drinks produced this master.

piece:
We know little section OF the country
Where they make better drink than rye:
They'll give you drink for the asking
# you only let EN- know that you are dry.
We get corn liquor from the nountaineers,
And Wen buy every day until we die:
That's what we'll do down In Georgia
When the whole darn world goes dry.
This inspiring ditty apparently has retired
permanently In Dear Old Georgia" and now
wherever the faithful are gathered, be it
stock room, ONCE. attic or the hotel where
the commercial traveller from the North is
buying for his customers the grand rhythm
of the song rings out and offends the horror
stricken ears of those who have not been
invited to the party.
OF course the underlying reason for the
popularity OF the song is that it is funda-
mentally true.
Bootlegging in Full Swing
From Tybee Light to Rabuu Gap
The papers say that an effort is being
made to reduce the size OF the standing
army OF the United States. It had better
not be done. They should double the size Of
the army, bring all the boys back from the
Rhine. declare them all to be military police
and. string them out between Tybee Light
and Rabun Cap II it is really the intention
IT, put any curb on the fine art OF bootleg
ging in Georgia.
Let 1t be understood at the outset that
this story deals with North Georgia. Down
in South Georgia they use mostly red liquor
and imported stuff that comes in by ship,
for which they pay from IS to SIS quart.
according to the degree OF thirst acquired
by the purchaser before he decides to align
himself permanently with the criminal
classes Of the State. However, after he has
demonstrated that the Governments ex-
penditure Of some hundred million dollars
or so to keep him from taking a drink did
not accomplish its purpose. he finds that the
liquor he has bought is very good indeed.
There seems to be very little adulteration.
Also they make a type Of moonshine liquor
in South Georgia that is distilled from
sugar cane. but it manages to catch in ones
throat some way or other. and it is not
much in demand except among the negroes.
But enough about South Georgia. We are
dealing with the profession OF bootlegging
as it is practised in Atlanta, 1850 feet above
sea level in the Piedmont section. and from
there to Rabun Gap on one side and Chat
tanooga on the other.
The making and selling Of whiskey in this
section is as perfectly systematized as ever
It was In the pre- prohibition days before a
few thousand persons organized and de-
cided that everybody would have to stop
drinking. The only difference IL that greater

there are two kinds OF lead in the world
One kind Of lead, of which there Is very
little, comes from radiun, and another kind
OF lead comes from the plumber. OF the

the plumbers lead seems cheap.
