Prohibition Officers Start Extra

Activities

ATLANTA, Dec. 8.-A statewide
fight against the liquor traffic dur
ing the Christmas season, directed
against liquor in the homes as well
as against the sale and Transports
tion will begin in Georgia immedi-
ately as a. result Of the visit to At
lanta of Commissioner R. H. Haynes,
federal dry chief, it was announced
here today.
All agents working under Fred
D. Dismuke have just closed con-
ference here and have left for their
respective localities with instructions
to direct vigorous and relentless
campaign against holiday liquor.
ut is no secret that the liquor
traffic goes on more flagrantly dur
ing the Christmas season." said Mr..
Dismuke. instructions have been is
sued to the men to push the fight
and clean up the Christmas sale.
This will include campaign
against liquor in the home as well
as against possession in quantity and
selling.
''The man who has whisky in his
home illegally-and under the Geor-
gia laws possession of liquor any,
where within the state is illegal -
is subject to prosecution. 1t is up
to the individual to prove that it was
legally obtained before the passage
of the Volstead act. The natural
assumption, of course, is that it was
not legally held.
Governor Thomas w. Hardwick' s
declaration that the Georgia prohi-
bition laws are unnecessarily AMI
unreasonably drastic made at a
luncheon in honor of FEDERAL Pro-
hlbition Commissioner Ray A..
Haynes, appears to h1ve stirred up a
veritable hornets nest of criticism
and protest among the prohibition
and temperance. forces.
Spirited comment has been made
by DR.. C. o. Jones, superintendent
for Georgia of the Anti-Saloon
League; Mrs. Leila A. billiard, presi-
dent of the state w. C. T. u; Con-
gresham WilliamD. Upshaw of the
Fifth congressional district; w. w.
White, and Commissioner Haynes,
all of them taking sharp issues with
the governor.
The governor, in an emphatic
speech, referred to the Georgia
statutes, particularly that one which
makes it a crime to have even
small quantity of whisky in ones
possession, as Unnecessarily and un-
reasonably drastic" and declared
that he did not believe the prohibition
laws could ever be completely en-
forced until this and other such fea-
lures were modified.

HINSHAW SINGERS
PLEASE |. LIZ HEARERS HEA
Entertaining Program Concluded
With Tuneful Comedy Cox
And Box"

Musical Americus deeply appre-
ciated the splendid concert last night
at the Ryiander, when William Wade
Hinshaw, under the auspices of the
Music Study club, presented his IA
nous quartet Of delightful singers
in a repertoire which included the
entire gamut Of musical range.
The personnel included Joseph
Wetzel, first tenor; j. Snedden Weir,
second tenor and pianist; Pierre Har-
rover, first bass, and James Wolf,
second bass, all Of whom We're in
splendid form, giving the numbers
with grace and ease Of finished
artists.
"The Norwegian Sailors Sang"
the noted opera Flying Dutehman,
was peculiarly pleasing, each voice
standing out in bold relief to the
background Of splendid piano ac-
compartment.
Martial in its ensemble, yet spir-
tied, was the rendition of "The
Huntsman's Song," a number which
is perfectly familiar to students Of
music, the audience responding with
enthusiasm as this was given.
The several other selections were
pleasing, showing the finished art
of each singer as he interpreted the
theme Of the composer.
When the curtain rose on the
musical comedy, Cox and Box" the
audience heard with amusement the
unfolding of the resonant plot, as
the two men, a journeyman printer
and a journayman halter, rented
from a designing landlord the same
room, one occupying it by day, the
other by night Laughter rippled
as the landlord, desperate in his ef-
forts to keep the two from knowing
the room. was being occupied }uaAly,
and the ano~,eance Of the widow
brought the farce to a hilarious eli
max.
The melodies were tuneful to a
degree, all throughout the melodies
Irippling along with the facility shown
IN "Pinafore," :" "The Mikado," and
other light operas collaborated with
Gilbert, premier writer of musical
comedies.
The audience was appreciative and
delighted, and the artists evinced eX-
treme graciousness in responding 10
the many encores of these who un7
!'derstood good music.
