from vantage points behind trees
and lodges. AS the steel jacketed

peating rifle clutched in her fast
stiffening fingers.

Illicit Liquor Making
Hurting Farm Industry,
Mrs. FELTON, Declares

Mrs. Rebecca Latimer FELTON,, the
first United States woman senator,
expressed the opinion in Atlanta
Wednesday that the growth of the
illicit liquor manufacturing indus
try in Georgia is striking at the
heart of the farming Industry.
Several consignments of liquor
will net a farmer more than he can
make from a whole years work on
some poor farm" she stated, "and
this is one factor causing short
age of farm labor"
Mrs. FELTON, told how she had en-
countered a pair of moonshiners in
Barlow county Sunday afternoon,
while riding through her farm. The
men were riding on wagon carry
ing about eight or ten glass Jars
filled with whisky, she said. She
reported the incident to United
States Marshal Walter. Alderman,
who resides in Gainesville.
New measures of enforcing the
prohibition law must be drafted"
stated Mrs. FELTON,. Under the pres
end methods, the government is
helpless and the prohibition question
is growing in Importance every
day.
Mrs. FELTON, said that when she
reported the whisky haul to Mr..
Akerman, a bystander remarked
that a still could be found on prac-
tically every branch in Barlow
county.
