Next Monday April 10th, Group 3
of the Georgia Bankers Association
will hold the annual meeting In Can
ton. Group 3 is composed of all
Bankers north of Atlanta, and has
something like 150 members and it
is likely that a large number of
these will be present. This is the
first time in the history of Canton
that the Association has met with us
and it is the desire of those secur
ing the Association that people of
Canton do all in their power to make
their stay here very pleasant. The
Bankers will only be here one day.
Mr. Wm. Galt is chairman of thi»
group of Bankers and it was largely
thru his efforts that they accepted
Cantons’ invitation and it is Mr.
Gaits desire that everything possi
ble be done to make their stay
pleasant. The people of Canton are
glad to welcome the members of
Group 3 to our little city and we
certainly hope your stay with us will
be so pleasant that you will at an
early date make your arrangements
to be with us again. Following is
the program that will be carried out.
The public is invited to attend the
meeting at School Audiorlum.

the present crowded conditions
make it absolutely necessary that
Canton erect additional school build
ings to care for the lurge number of
children attending school, and with
this in view the Mayor and Council
together with the Board of Educa
tion have called the Bond election
in order to rais ethe necessary
amount needful to erect additional
buildings. We feel that a large
number of our citizens are in favor
of the bonds and will go out and
vote, however, a large number of
voters often feel that the Bonds will
be carried and do not go to the polls
and vote and to do this is just the
same as casting your vote against
the Bonds for every voter that is
registered and does not vote will be
counted against the Bonds so it
makes it necessary that all register
ed voters go out to the polls and
vote. People of Canton don’t for
get the duty you owe to the child
ren and go to the polls Saturday and
cast your ballot for the BONDS.
It doesn’t matter whether you have
children in school or not you owe
it to the future generation so lets
do your duty and help put the bonds
over.

ID MACON FOR MEET
Only 2 Per Cent-of Bootleg
Liquor Fit For Drinking
The average person never takes medicine or call on a doctor
until he gets sick; but there is a rapidly growing custom of calling
on the doctor for a bit of advice or a little medicine to keep well:
It is a good idea. As a “stitch in time saves nine ” so an
occasional dose of medicine taken in time will often save a severe
siege of sickness.
We are ready to serve you—with proprietary remedies , if you
know what you want; with advice, if that is what you seek; with
careful adherence to your physician's prescription, if that is what
you bring us. '
Johnstons Drug Co.
Canton, Ga. Phone 51
Washington, April 4.—Ninety-
eight per cent of the liquor now be
ing sold in violation of the prohibi
tory lows is unfit for drinking.
This is the declaration of J. M.
Doran, Ijead of the idustrial alcohol
and chemical division of the prohi
bition unit. It is supported by the
finding offWilliam V. Linder and his
stuff of chemists in the prohibition
unit’s laboratories where samples of
seized liquors are analyzed.
The writer supposed most of the
talk about poisonous liquors was
“dry” propaganda. But after he vi
sited the laboratories, and talked
with the men who are actually mak
ing the examinations of the fearful
mixtures that are sold for beverages,
he is convinced the estimate may be
just about correct.
During the past year, according
to Doran, the" internal revenue lab
oratories! examined approximately
40,000 samples, of which 20,000
were' Illicit liquors Not. morr
2 per cent were what would have
been known as “fair whisky” in the
days before prohibition; that is
whisky aged in the wood.
“The balance ranged from rank
deadly poison containing wood alco
bol to milder poisons, but which
w’ould undoubtedly produce the same
result if consumed for a sufficient
length of time” said Doran, “the
difference being one of degree only.’
Samples which are reaching the
prohibition laboratories show that
the bonded whisky of pre-prohibi
tion days is gradually and surely
disappearing. The good whisky i
reaches the consumer chiefly
through the use of presrictions but
even some of the drug stare products
is bad.
“A great deal of illicitly distilled
liquor is vended to the public under
the guise of straight whisky bottled
in bond, said Doran. “This stuff is
frequently covered with forged la
bels, caution notices, and carries a
