"We realize that because of the fact that sufficient protective legislation has not been enacted, the purpose of the people in prohibition counties has been almost. If not entirely, defeated. Coun ties which have adopted prohibition have been flooded with liquor from counties where the sfele Is permitted, and as a consequence the people have decided by their votes that they can best deal with the liquor question by excluding it from their territory# have seen their rights Ignored, their plans defeated and their best interests dis regarded.” "Vialee of People."

Dllnd tigers/ the worst of all forms of evil connected with the liquor traffic, will flourish, in spite of the law, end drunkenness and debauchery will be carried to excesses not thought of under natural condi tions. We state it as a fact, which we believe to be absolutely true, that dur ing the prohibition period the monels of this city were In a far worse condi tion In some respects than at any time before or since. The law was violated with Impunity, and violators could neither be detected nor punished for their crimes. Property of every char acter shrunk In value. Business was lifeless. The city lost enormous reve nue that would have gone to help main tain the public schools nnd other public institutions, while tbe evils that we were trying to correct multiplied.

This leg islation should provide suitable and adequate punishment for those who would violate the law. It ought to be a crime, with severe penalties for ItH violation, to Import liquor or eell or give away for any purpose In prohibi tion counties. We go further and urge upon the general assembly the wisdom and the Justice of ennctlng laws for the protection of those counties, the violation of which will carry such se vere penalties that the importation or sale of liquor In any form into prohi bition counties will sbsolutsly cease. Heavy Penalties. We believe that such legislation should provide severe penalties for the shipper hnd his egenls, In the county from which the shipment la made; that tha same penalties should be provided for the express company, railroad com pany or other common or private car rier. *nd their agents. In the county where such shipments are made or In the county to which such shipments nro consigned, nnd It should be the duty of such carrier to know the con tents of packages transported by them. That the consignee, as well as any agent or Intermediary In the county to which such shipment, are consigned who shall receive, directly or Indirectly, by public or private conveyance, any package of whisky, wins, beer or other concoction, decoction or byproduct of alcohol, to be used as a beverage, and any person having In his possession, for the purpose of selling or giving away nny alcoholic liquor In any form, shall likewise Incur the full penalties of tbe law. "If the measure thus outlined Is not sufficient to afford completo protec tlon to the people In prohibition coun ties from the Importation of liquor into their communities, we respectfully urge the general assembly to so enlarge the provisions of such laws that those who would violate them can not. by the exercise nf the utmost Ingenuity, escape the full and 1 proper penalties of their crimes, and let those penalties be so severe that evil-doers will be de terred from violating the law. When it Was Tried. "What has been said with reference to home rule applies with even greater force to those counties containing the larrer cltlea which have not adopted prohibition. Speaking for Atlanta par ticularly, we call attention to the fact that the people of this city have. In years past, when tbe city contained not exceeding half It* present “ made honest, earnest and forte to have effective prohibition. They spent large sums nf money to aid In procuring Its ndoptlon. The sentiment of the city was alive aa never before for the enforcement of the law, for tbe detection and punishment of law breaker,, and for tha complete re moval of the evils resulting from the sale of liquor. The vigilance of the city government, In Its efforts to Enforce strict prohibition, backed up by public sentiment, was aroused to an extent that waa without a parallel In the his tory nf this city. After an earnest trial of more than two yesr* under these conditions, we were forced to the hu miliating acknowledgement that. In spite of a vigilant city government and an aroused public sentiment, prohibi tion In Atlanta was a miserable fail ure. It-was worse, It was a farce and a travesty on good morals and decency. a IruTP*iy on houu ai'inn o*«v urirnij, and did more to debauch the youth ami manhood the city, by subjecting them to stealthy temptation and excesses, than all the barroom. In all the years since, under high license and strict regulation. Effect in Atlanta. "What Is trus of Atlanta will un questionably be true ef other populous sldcred Want Home Rule. "As cltlxens of Atlanta, having no Interest directly or Indirectly In tho liquor business, and representing tho substantial commercial Interests of tho city, speaking from the standpoint of an actual and bitter experience, and for a city representing one-twentieth of the entire population of the state, wo urge upon the general assembly of Georgia, with all the earnestness of our deep and abiding conviction, that the principle of home rule, Involving our right to regulate our own domestic af faire in the way that will beat conserve the morals and business Interests of this city, be not disregarded by the enforcement upon us, against our wishes, of a state prohibition law. I.et other counties adopt prohibition If they desire to do so. Let every county In the etate have the-prlvllege of adopting It. as tha people prefer and protect all these countlee fully, by a rigid enforce ment of the law; but accord to Fqlton county and the capital city of your state, aa well as other populous coun ties, the same right to regulate their own affairs that we ask for others. ‘The people of this city are entirely capable of dealing with this question. We know what te to our beet Interests, morally and otherwise, and elnco wo have worked out a plan by which tho liquor business Is under complete nnd satisfactory control, we submit that It la our right, and should be our privilege, to continue to deal with this problom In the way that our past experience and our mature and deliberate Judgment suggest. We neither champion the cause of the liquor trade, nor do we de fend open barrooms. We merely pre sent to the general assembly a condi tion of affairs that we know, from past experience, will be better If left un disturbed In this city. That the liquor traffic le an evil, we do not deny. Un fortunately, It le universal. If wo could destroy It by adopting prohibition In Atlanta or In the state of Georgia, we would gladly do so; but we are convinced that the beat and only prac tical way to deal with this evil In cities Is by high license and the ttrlctest reg ulation.” FLOYD COUNTY FARMERS FAVOR PROHIBITION.
