But Few Prisoners Are Confined in Jail
Since the Beginning of Prohibition

in crime in Richmond county since
prohibition went into effect, accord

the year is over 100 prisoners, hut
now there are only 73 and the list is

On the first, of January this year
there were 138 prisoners confined in

Three Hundred Less Arrests

A record of the arrests for violation,
of this ordinance, during the six I

as follows:

1 thousand cars have already been
shipped out of the state, netting thr
growers a million dollars, the famous

THE AUGUSTA HERALD.
about to open its July term with
virtually nothing on docket to como
up for consideration.
Conductors on the various trains
going out of Augusta declare tha;
they are having less trouble than
ever before on their trains and not
one-tenth of the disorderllnoas is ob
served nowadays as compared wtth
the old regime when liquor was sold
freely in Augusta.
If the present improvement keeps
up there will be but little doing in
the courts In cases usually ascrib
<d to whiskey and a generally better
state of affairs will be noted, ac
cording to authoritative and official
statements concerning conditions.
The second resolution has to do with j
;• schedule now in operation by tie j
tVadley & Southern railroad, and against
which two protests of a similar nature
have already been filed with Chairman
McLendon. It is as follows:
“Hon. G. C. McLendon. Chairman Rail
road Commission of Georgia.
“Hear Slf: The traveling men and pub
lic generally wish to call the attention
of your honorable body to the follow
ing grievance, which we contend is
equitable:
“Viz That the psssenger connections 1
hereinafter stated are operating directly !
against the interepts of the traveling
public and apparently with no advon- i
tflge to the railroad.
“That one passenger train in ques- 1
lion arrives at Stillrnore, Ga., about 6.30
o’clock a. m.. and departs at 6.35, 2r>
minutes before the arrival of a passen
ger train from Dublin. It proceeds to
Wadley and apparently kills about an ,
hour’s time, according to schedule, final- j
ly leaving just before the arrival of a 1
passenger train from Savannah.
“Briefly, that the Wadley South- i
ern railroad, which Is owned and oper
ated by the Central of Georgia railroau, j
refuses to make any connections with
its main line schedules, thereby requir- {
ing passengers from Dublin and along :
the line of road to travel and pay an ‘
excessive mileage, from 50 to JOO miles, i
“That this, we. the traveling men. re- *
gard as an Imposition, one that may and
should be removed. Kindly favor us
with your attention.

tional T. P. A. convention recently held
In Milwaukee by Messrs. J. L. Bracey

port of his visit to the session was very
exhaustive and altogether interesting.
He omitted no particular and was, upon j
motion, paid a high compliment. Mr. t
Faulkner also made mention In verbal
report of several features that were ot

t rests for drunkenness during the first
:ix month of prohibition in Augusta
has decreased by 321, as comoared
: with six corresponding months of the
I previous year. Six goes 53 and one
half times into 321, cutting down by
j nearly twt the daily “drunk” average.
Statistic "fiends” read many a story
| between their rows of figures. For
instance, the careful observer will see
; tha: more arrests are made during
i , month of March than during an
-1 other one of the first six. The po
! lice say that this nearly always
proves to be the case.
In January there was a slump in
cases of drunkenness. In February
! the number was increased, and since
that month the progression has been
marked. In May 1907 there were
fewer arrests for drunkenness than
in May 1908. while figures for the
i months of June in both years differ
by only one case.
