tr another, the news went swiftly to
the waiting hundreds. At 7 o’clock the
decks were cleared, and the supreme
moment came. Beaten and crushed at
every point, the opposition lay prone.
“Roll call on the completed bill haa

titude.
Cheers Resounded.

At 7:10 o'clock votes sufficient to

A storm of enthusiasm swept the cap

*«i ended. Prohibition was an accom
plished fact by the overwhelming ma
jority of 133 to 39.
All the cheering and enthusiasm that
btd gone before was as the soft mur

The cry was caught up, and In a brief

“There’s a Reason”
the credit for this great victory." said
Senator John P. Knight, leader of the
measure In the senate. "It Is a grand
day in Georgia, and to the good mothers
Is due the credit."
W. D. Upshaw was probably the
happiest man in Georgia. He glowed
with It, and It burned In his speech.
"I'd rather be here tonight than be
In heaven,” he declared.
"I want to propose three cheers for
F. L. Seely, the bravest owner of a
newspaper on the American continent,"
he said. "Also for John Temple Graves,
the most beautiful writer, and to all the
boys of The Georgian who did such
valiant service In this fight."
The cheers were given with a will.
Some one proposed a visit to The
Georgian office, and re-forming In
marching order, the great crowd moved
Into Alabama' street and massed in
front of The Georgian office.
"Seely! Seelyl Graves! Graves!"
shouted the crowd.
Mr. Seely spoke briefly from a sec
ond-story window. He was cheered
again and again. Throughout the re
markable demonstration no disorder or
adverse criticism was heard until this
time. . , . . ..
Across the street the windows of the
building occupied by a newspaper
neighbor of The Georgian were lined
with faces. From a fifth-story win
dow, as the crowd stood massed In the
street below, a strident voice shouted:
"Rotten! Rotten!"
But no one In that great crowd paid
the slightest heed to the Ill-mannered
call of the sore-head.
When the crowd was Informed that
Mr. Graves was at his home. In College
Park, some one shouted:
"Let's go out there and let him know
how we feel about It."
W D. Upshaw, leaning out of The
Georgian window, explained that Mr.
Graves was engaged in a meeting at
his home, In College Park, and was un
able to be present. But many of the
throng were determined to see him, and
started for the suburb.
Two cars, laden to the platforms,
soon took a part of the crowd to Col
lege Park. .Mr. Graves wan presiding
over a town meeting at his home and
discussing better government for Col
lege Park, when he was surprised by
the visitors, who covered the lawn and
cheered the editor of The Georgian. Mr.
Graves was called upon for an address,
and made a brief talk of congratulation
to the crowd.
After the visit to the governor's man
sion, the throng dispersed,
NEGRO VOTE MUST
STOP SAYS SENATE
LA W DRIVES INTOXICANTS
OF EVER YKIND FROM ST A TE
IN 5 MONTHS FROM TOD A Y
Absolute prohibition In the state of Georgia after midnight of De
cember 31, 1307, Is the meaning of the Hardman senate prohibition bill,
which passed the house Tuesday evening by the overwhelming vote of 119
to 39.
The measure absolutely and without equivocation wipes the liquor
traffic from the coniines of the state In every shape and form, and on
and after January 1. 1908, not a drop of alcoholic, spirituous, malt or In
toxicating liquors or Intoxicating bitters, with the exception of wood or
denatured alcohol and alcohol sold by druggists upon physicians' pre
scriptions, can be bought, sold, given away or kept on hand in any place
of business In this state.
The only provision which Is made In the bill for the sale of any fluid
which, If taken to excess, will produce Intoxication, Is what Is known as
the "doctors’ amendment," which was adopted by the house Tuesday.
This amendment provides that licensed druggists may sell and furnish
pure alcohol only upon prescriptions of physicians. But before any
physician can give such prescription he must make an actual examina
tion of the patient tor whom It Is Intended and shall certify In writing that
the amount of alcohol prescribed Is necessary In the alleviation or cure of
Illness from which the patient Is suffering.
In addition to this restriction upon the physician, the druggist filling
the prescription Is required by law to file the prescription with the ordi
nary of the county. The prescription must be kept on record by the ordi
nary and may at any tlmo be used as evidence In any prosecution for
violation of any of the provisions of the bill.
For the convenience of the retail druggist the house also adopted an
amendment which provides that wholesale dealers In alcohol may furnish
the same to regular licensed retail druggists, hospitals or to medical or
pharmaceutical colleges In this Btate.
But at the same time wholesale druggists are required td keep a rec
ord of their sules, which may be Inspected at any and all times by the
proper authorities.
In accordance with a motion adopted by the house Immediately after
the passage of the bill Tuesday evening, It will be transferred to the sen
ate at once for concurrence in the measure as amended by the house.
The Immediate concurrence of the upper house In the amended bill Is
anticipated, as the amendments adopted were approved by the leaders of
the prohibition movement In the senate and were voted upon with the
knowledge that they would create no division Of sentiment among Its
supporters In that branch of the general assembly.
As soon as the bill Is ratified by the senate It will be signed by
Governor Smith and the last official act making It a law will be consum
mated. Upon several different occasions, both publicly and privately.
Governor Smith has declared that he will sign the prohibition bill, and
the sale of Intoxicants will stop In exactly live months.

ler, tho Infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. H. C. Mlllor. who died Mondny
