Resolutions Adopted.
"The fact that Georgia and all the
Southern states are today leading In
the movement for local and state pro-
hlbltlon makes It extremely fitting that
not only should the national conven
tion of the Prohibition party be held In
this city, but we believe that the Pro
hibitionists of the nation should look
to those who are successfully leading
the struggle for prohibition in the
South to lead the greater battle now on
for national prohibition.
•Second. We believe that the Pro
hibition party Is the only genuinely na
tional party In the Union today. In that

section, an issue that Is equally Im
portant North as It is South and East
end West, In Georgia as it Is In the
stales of Maine. California, Illinois.
Texas or New York: that the fact
shows It to be not only the grandest
moral Issue, but the greatest economic
question of the age, being by statistical
comparison four limes greater than the
steel trusts, eight times as big as the
tariff, and Involving a cost to the Amer
ican people five times as great as that
which the nation pays for bread, eleven
ilmes ns much as the cost of education,
iHrtecn times as much as goes for re
ligion and churches and one hundred
and seven times ts much as the total
annual contributions for home and for
eign missions combined.

SAYS SECY WILSON
Washington, Oct. 24.—'Thomas
O’Brien, chief counsel for the Mate, and
Assistant Attorney General George T.
Simpson, of Minnesota, have reached
Washington and begun habeas corpus
proceedings, which, if successful, will

thorough and complete enforcement
and the prevention of nullification.
•‘Fifth. We favor the placing In the
field of a national prohibition election
ticket for the November election of
1908.”
Appeal oF Chairman Jones.
A very strong address was made by
Chairman Jones, of the national or
ganization. In which he declared his
belief that "rot only every Southern
state, but many of the Northern states
will face prohibition battles within an
other twelve months.”
He declared that the final dream of
Prohibitionists for forty years would
be in a movement for nations J annihi
lation of the liquor traffic. He believes
that II Is coming, ar* so rapidly that
It would astound the world. A ma
jority of the people of the country are
either Prohibitionists or. live In prohi
bition territory, he asserted.
Chairman Jones then advocates a
uniting of all the prohibition forces in
one great national movement. He de
clares that It Is In reality the only na
tional party of the day. The Repub
lican party Is of the solid North, >and
the Democratic party of the solid
South. The Prohibition party presents
the same doctrines to both South and
North, and appeals to the same motives
and interests everywhere, be sets
forth.
Since 1876 Vie Prohibition party has
had seven nutlonal tickets in the field,
and six of the candidates for president
were from the South. During the last
nine presidential elections the Repub
licans have presented no Southern man
for president, onr have the Democrats. !
He made an especial appeal to the
South to aid the Prohibition party in
freeing the country from the liquor
business. He concludes with an ap
peal for members of the party to unite
on some good man and work for his
election.

in 1906 the farmers grew sugar
beets enough to make 488,000 tons of
