The need for adiCrt* al school room in Canton is unquesttionable. 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. —VOTE FOR BONDS— dent Bank of Canton.

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 Sunday to T rain Jeffries for Bout With K.
