TWO BONE-DRY COUNTIES
L.-o... rCLo A4lH..A. GA....:L..

TWO BONE-DRY COUNTIES
From The Atlanta Constitu-
tion-Prohibitlon' is getting good
results wherever there is deter
mined effort to enforce the law.
This is evident from the fact
that patrons OF the still and
stump" brands of booze are not
as numerous as formerly in sec
tons where no "moonshine" ever
went begging.
This is brought out in a semi
humorous editorial paragraph in
he Cordele (Ga) Dispatch
His friends relate story
about a prosperous peanut grow
er OF another county, adjoining
Crisp, who became Disguised
with the extremely low market
and snapped quantity of pea
nuts for a stock OF noonshine Ii
quor on the belief that he could
sell the stuff better than he could
his peanuts. TO his dismay and
surprise he found no buyer in his
round over two counties and his
last move was said to have been
an effort to rue hs trade"
The name of the alleged party
to this bad trade is not given, OF
course; but we should like to
give the two counties" referred
to full credit for what they have
accomplished on the prohibition
side.
1t is something of a record
after undoubted dilgent search
to have found not one booze buy
er in two-county canvass!
1t certainly means good law
enforcement within their Dor
ders, and may entitle them to the
rank of the banner prohibition
counties of the state.
Editors Note The Anti-Sa-
loon League might offer re-
ward for the proof of Charley
Browns statements, they sound
too good to be true.

tisement)

Below is printed a letter from a
progressive Georgia business man in
which he tells OF the changed attitude
of Northern investors toward the pc
can industry because they "do not
want to put money in state whose
capital is so tainted with Bolshe-
vism."
What Mr.. Perry says OF the pecan
business. Money cannot be had in
Georgia to build Street Railways, In
terurban Railways, Gas Works, Pow
er Plants or transmission lines for the
same reasons as are so plainly told
you by Mr.. Perry. Nobody wants to
put money in State whose capital is
so tainted by Bolshevism. No eX-
tensions OF Electric transmission
lines, Street Railways, or interurban
Railways are possible unless new
capital can be obtained for the cost
OF their construction and new CAPT
tai has been frightened away from
Georgia by the support given to a
few socialists by Atlanta papers.
These men who are preaching pub
lie ownership are Indifferent to the
damage they are doing 10 the State
OF Georgia by killing new enterprises.
They care nothing about the effects
OF their misrepresentation but seek
only political power. The same false
hoods are being used in Georgia as
were used in Seattle to induce that
city to buy its street railways, where
in u months the street railways un-

street Railway employees are now be-
ing paid by City warrants instead OF
Cash. 1t is ust d iepitition cCor-
gia OF the same tricks praCtised in
! Seattle where the public have been
fooled by the political adventures into
voting SIS, 000,00000 ostensibly to OBJ
i tain cheaper car fares but i'll reality

in City politics. Car fares have been

Dear Sir:
Il have noticed in the state press
that you are actively opposing the
proposed bills of the Municipal League

dressing you on this subject and wish
ing you Godspeed in this work.
when these measures were first
proposed, they seemed very fair, and

l made a deeper study of them,
found them to be very dangerous
measures.
IF these bills become laws, we could
have another era of 'carpetbag' bond
issues, that would bankrupt our Ell
tire state, and make it impossible for
any one to interest outside capital in
helping us to develop our natural re-
sources.

Good Work Is Costly.

The remarkable difference in prices
of tennis rackets is not so much due
to the difference in the cost of the raw
materials of which they are made as
tn the kind and amount of labor on
their making, says the American For
estry Magazine of Washington. Best
tennis racketS are works of art, and
the skill of the worker is reflected in
the price as much as in any other
article belonging to sport and ath-
letics.

Australia is about 100000 tons, of
which quantity over 100000 tons are

the balance shipped to New Zealand
