Rumor Is Set
Afloat.
Special to The Georgian.
Montgomery, Ala., Juno 29.—In an
exclusive story The Dally States de
clares It has authentic grounds for the
statement that the Pennsylvania rail
road Is making a mighty effort to gain
control of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line, the
Central of Georgia and several other
Southern lines, for the handling of
the Panama canal trade.
The newspaper says:
“The confirmed sale of the Central of
Georgia railroad to Thorne and Perry,
revealed the faot that the Pennsylvania
railroad and several other smaller ones
are endeavoring to extend their hold
ings to the utmost Southern points for
the purpose of being prepared to meet
the Increased traffic caused by the com
pletion of the Panama canal.
“Tt Is a fact that the Pennsylvania
line has had Its agents through the
South for some time past Investigating
the values of the railroad properties
here, which It hopes to soon acquire,’
said a railroad man this morning, who
Is In close touch with railroad condU
tlons In . the South. 'A party of J. P.
Morgan's representatives traveled
through Montgomery a few days ago,
Incognito, on a tour of secret Investi
gation, looking up the roads which the
Pennsylvania desires to procure, that
It may crowd out other competition in
securing the Panama trade.
"I might even state that the.
The report is persistent, and the
statement is made on advice which Is
deemed authoritative. The most prom
inent whisky men in Atlanta, It lu
known, have apparently abandoned all
efforts to defeat the bill, and one
prominent wholesale man is not even
in the city.
Rumor has it that he is making ar
rangements for the shipping of whisky
into Atlanta.
Potteries Close Down.
In this connection, word comes from
Augusta that two of the biggest pot
teries in the state, whose work consists
almost exclusively In the manufacture
of Jugs, shut down when the legislature
convened and tho management ascer<
talncd the sentiment of both houses of
the assembly.
Retail whisky dealers are refusing to
buy any more stock, elthor in Atlanta
or other Georgia cities, pending the ad-
tlon of the legislature. With the pas
sage of the prohibition bill, it Is be*
lieved thero will be a general exodus df
whisky men from Atlanta, Macon, Au
gusta, Savannah and other Georgia
cities to the large cities of neighboring
states.
If the bill is passed, It is probable that
plants erected solely for the shipment
of whisky Into Georgia will be ready
for work when the law goes Into effect.
The prohibitionists, of course, will Im
mediately make a fight on this, and the
shippers will fall back on the Interstate
commerce commission.
Randolph Rose Talks.
R. M. Rose, of the R. M. Rose & Co.,
was seen by a representative of The
Georgian Saturday morning relative to
the reports that the fight had been
abandoned and that distillers, whole
salers and retailers were preparing to
year the Central .of Georgia, the At
lantic Coast Line and the Louisville and
Nashville roads would all he equipped
with cars upon which appears tl»e name
"The Greater Pennsylvania System.”
That road will be In absolute control
of the greater portion of the traffic
which will come through the Panama
canal.’ ”

establish plants to ship from.
“As far as I am concerned/' statod
Mr. Rose, “I have never made any fight
If the people want state prohibition, let
them have it. The legislature, I be
lieve, is composed of fair men and I
am willing to abide by what they say.
“If I lived In a small town, I am
frank to say I would probably be a
prohibitionist. But In a town of mope
than 25,000 population, I don’t think It
can be enforced, and I don’t believe in
having laws that won’t be enforced.
We have too many dead letters on the
stntute books now.
Rose Will Stay.
“I believe In strict regulation of the
hlsky business—stricter than we
have now. I believe In high licenses.
If the legislature passes <the prohibi
tion bill, I think 1 shall stay in Atlan

In nearby states who would sell their
whisky here anil would not have to
pay any licenses. I suppose a number
of whisky men here would move tc
these cities and begin shipping.

There la a general feeling o£ unrest
among the whisky men of Atlanta, ana
tho general sentiment of those Insldo
seems to be that the state prohibition
bill will pass both houses without
much trouble.
The following special from Augusta
gives an Idea of the state of mind of
tho whisky men of Atlanta and
throughout the state:
TWO AUGUSTA POTTERIES
PUT OUT OF BU8INESS
Augusta, Ga.. June 29.—Two of the
biggest potteries In the state, confining
their product almost exclusively to
jugs for the whisky trade, today closed
down. Since the Georgia legislature

jugs nave been cancelled. One would
working establishment having an order
for bar fixtures worth J10.000 received
a telegram cancelling It today.
Tills all comes about because the

The pottery companies closing today
