amendments In the commute room

"1 yielded to the will of the majority,

In reference to the amendment pro
viding for the ratification of the bill In
tho primary next year. Mr/ Wright
aald:
"Want No Election.”
"The people of Georgia do not want
an election on this question. They do

on this question, but we do not want
the discord and strife that will grow
out of a prohibition election.'"
In reference to the substitute of Mr.
Perry, of Hall, which provided that
Judges of the superior court* should be
allowed to designate druggists In each
county who should be allowed to sell

Chatham, for the opposition, who was
allowed IB minutes.

tlon had proven a failure In other states

Mr. McMullen, of Hart, followed Mr.
Adams In a flve-mlnute speech for
the prohibitionists.
Mr. Mundy, of Polk, was next given
ten minutes by the supporters of the
bill. He declared that he had been a

the wishes of his constituents, nnd be
cause he believed It was right.
"In regard to these amendments,"

the prohibition bill.
Are you afraid of your law?" he
asked. "Are you afraid to pul It off for
one year and be fair with the men who

"I fear tho leaders of the prohibition
movement are afraid of a / campaign
ngalnst It and If they arc, you had bet
ter be careful about how you pass It."

recognized for the prohibitionists for
ten minutes.

Clay, and Mr. Smith, of Campbell, who
spoke five minutes each for the side of
prohibition.
"The two arguments of the anti-pro.
hlbltlonleth,” said Mr. Massengale, "are
to defeat prohibition altogether or give
us another year. The request for an ex
tension of time means that they wish
to have time for the liquor Interests
to Intrench Itself and defeat the pro
hibition movement. They do not wish
more time In whirii to close out their
business, for they can do that In six

Mr. Hmlth. of Campbell, declared

"Were I personally opposed to It,"
said he, "I would return my commis
sion to the people of my county, for
they have demanded prohibition.

nnd It wns defied by n wholesale li

the conclusion of Mr. Htnlth's
speech, the opposition .s'* allowed
twenty-five minutes a* followa:
Mr. Moore of Cherokee, five min
utes; Mr. Anderson, of Bulloch, five
minutes; Mr. Slade, of Muscogee, (If.
teen minutes.
Both Mr. Moore and Mr. Anderson
contended thut an extension of time
shoulcuat least be granted.
In a fifteen-minute speech Mr. Slade,
of Muscogee, enumerated the reasons
why the prohibition bill should not be
enacted Into law.
Mr. Jackson, of Jones; Mr. Hule, of
Clayton, nnd Mr. White, of Screven,
were designated for the prohibitionist*
and were allowed five minute* each.
Mr. Jackson referred to the fact that
two years ago he had stood on the floor
I>r the house and contended with the
whisky men for the-paasage of an antl-
Jug law.
They declined then.” said Mr. Jack-
son. "upon the ground that It was un
fair, but today they pitch their tents on
the same ground from which they drove
us at that time.
• There Is no such thing as local op
tion; It Is only a subterfuge for whisky
men to hide behind, and there can be
no such thing as local option so long as
a dry county Is affected by a wet one."
Both Mr. Hule and Mr. White deliv
ered very strong speeches In favor of
prohibition.
At the conclusion of Mr. W bite s
speech Mr. Chamblee. of Floyd, was
recognized for eight minutes In opposi
tion to the bill.
Mr. Chamblee declared that the pro

practicable.
"If this bill la passed In Its present
