The Hardman-Cowlngton-Neel bill, as Georgia's new state prohibition law will be known In history, was duly passed by the Senate and received the signature Tuesday of Governor Smith Under the terms of its enactment, It will go Into effect Jan. 1st, 1908, af ter which time Georgians will live un der the most rigid prohibition luw of any state In the Union. There Is a strong sentiment throughout the state in favor of it# rigorous enforcement. ■ The temper ance folks want It because they be lieve it to be right,and the whiskey people because they think the law so drastic that Its enforcement will make it unpopular even among Its friends, Inasmuch as it makes no exemptions even of wine for sacramental purposes or the making of domestic wine for home use. We are confident that the new law will greatly lessen the amount of crime In Georgia and bring about greatly Improved conditions, If prop erly enforced, and we believe It will prove of great benefit to the state. The hill Is as follows: — An act to prohibit the manufacture, sale, barter, giving away to Induce trade,or keeping or furnishing at pub lic places,or keeping on hand at places of business of any alcoholic, spiritu ous, malt or intoxicating liquors or intoxicating bitters or other drinks which If drunk to excess will produce Intoxication; to except sales of alco hol In certain cases, upon certain conditions; to provide rules of evi dence In connection with the enforce ment thereof; to prescribe penalties, and for other purposes. Sec. 1. Be It enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of the state of Geor gia, ami it Is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That from and after the first day of January next after the passage of this act, It shall not be lawful for any person within the limits of the state to sell or bar ter for valuable consideration, either directly or Indirectly, or give away to induce trade at any place of busi ness or to keep or furnish at any other public places, or manufacture or keep on hand at their place of busi ness any alcoholic, spirituous, malt or intoxicating liquors, or intoxicating bitters or other drinks which If drunk to cxccbb will produce Intoxication, and any person so offending shalK he guilty of a misdemeanor, and shall he punlBhed as prescribed in section lOiiJ of the penal code of Georgia. Nor shall it be lawful in the limits of the said state for intoxicating liquors to be sold In dispensaries, and the sale of intoxicating liquors In said state shall be prohibited to private persons and to the state, Its officers and agents. Provided,that licensed druggists may sell and furnish pure alcohol, for med icinal purposes only, upon written prescription of a regular practicing physician of this state, In the man ner herein prescribed, to wit : before any physician shall Issue any such prescription he shall make an actual examination of the person for whom the prescription is granted. The pre scription shall be substantially In the following form: "Georgia ounty. I a regular practicing physician under the laws of said state do hereby prescribe for the use of a patient In my charge, whom 1 have examined. of pure alcohol, and said state, do hereby prescribe for the same is necessary In the alleviation cure of Illness from which said patient Is suffering. This (date.) (signed by the physician.) No pre scription shall he filled hereunder ex- ept upon the day upon which it is dated and issued, or upon the follow ing day. Within ten days after the same is filled by the druggist he shall file said prescription for record with the ordinary of the county in which filled, who shall cause the same to be recorded In his office and a certified copy of the same, or the ori ginal prescription showing it has been recorded, shall be primary evidence in any court in this state. The record containing such prescrip tions shall be open to public inspect ion. A recording fee of five cents for each prescription so recorded shall be paid by such druggist to the Ordin ary. Upon any prosecution under this act the burden of proving the defense that the sale was of pure alcohol ttn- d r i nscription ns herein provided for ahall be upon the defendant. Pro vided further, no druggist who is also practicing physician shall fill hii own prescriptions hereund r,n r r shall they be filled at any drug store In which said physician Is financially Interes ted and no prescription shall be re filled; nor shall more than one pint be furnished on any one prescription. The delivery of the alcohol under such prescrlj tlon shall he made only di rectly to the person for whom such prescrlj tlon is Is ued or to the physi cian; or In case of a minor to his parents or guardian for him, or in case of a married woman to her hus band for her. "Provided further, That nothing in this act shall be construed as to prevent wholesale druggists from sel ling or furnishing alcohol In wholesale quantities to regular licensed retail druggists, or to public or charity hos pitals, or to medical or pharmaceutical colleges. "Be It further provided. That all wholesale druggists shall be required to keep a complete record of all their sales of alcohol, which record shall at all times he open for inspection to the regular authorities of such coun ties or cities In which such whole sale stores are located. "Sec. 2. Be It further enacted by the same authority, that any per son, firm or corporation who shall violate this act In any respect shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; any phy sician who shall Issue a prescription hereunder containing any false state ment shall he guilty of a misdemean or; any druggist who shall fill any prescription for alcohol In any wise other than herein allowed, or who shall fall to file a prescription filled by him hereunder with the Ordinary within the time prescribed, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; any person who shall obtain alcohol for another In accordance with the terms hereof and to any other use shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Sec. 3. Be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That nothing in this act shall prohibit the sale by licensed druggists of wood or de natured alcohol for art, scientific or mechanical purposes, or grain alcohol for bacteriologists who are actually engaged In that class of work for scientific purposes only. Sec. 4. Be It further enacted by the authority aforesaid, That all laws and parts of law In conflict with this act be and the same are hereby re pealed. WISH WORDS OF BISHOP CANDLER Bishop Candler tails attention to a fact that should not be overlooked these days, and that Is that the churches ar d' not the politicians are entitled to the credit for the great pro hibition victoryi I.i Georgia. He says:— "Nowf wllleon-.e a time of peril. Politicians will claim the victory,and seek office* a-ta* reward for services rendered by them. Give no heed to such picas. No true Boldler In this war will seek office* a*a' pension for the fighting he has done. Only men w'ho have cultivated n\ marketable type of prohibition zeal will h ek to gather profits from tha cause. "You owe the politicians nothing. You would have won your victory earlier but for some of their doings. Do not allow them to dim or diminish your triumph by Injecting personal ambitions or party schemes Into your assemblies. Such things will divide your counsels, engender strife and factions among your forces, and in the end reverse the triumph you have won. Good nteu. who have stood by our cause too well to use It for their personal advancement, and the prohibitionists must see to it that selfish men do not so use it. Mark them who seek to usj the prohibition cause as a breastwork behind which to fight their personal battles for self and power." The Standard is glad that this prohibition victory was won In the Legislature instead of at the polls, Inasmuch as we believe it carries out the will of the people and at the same time gave no opportunity for petty politicians to attempt to ride into office on this gr^at moral Issue. m IF YOU WILL WEAR PETERS' DIAMONDS ON YOUR FEET, LIFE S WALK WILL BE EASY Peters’ Diamond Brand Shoes are sold by C, M.

In giving the future plans of the leading liquor dealers of Atlanta, the Journal says: "L. M. Frouty, proprie tor of the Big Bonanza saloon at Decatur street and the* Ira saloon at 4 Decatur street, will give his atten tlon to farming. Mr. Prouty owns a large farm at Cedartown." Hon. J. G. Eubanks, of Cedartown, purchasing agent for the Farmers’ National Co-operative Union, was a visitor at the State Capitol yesterday, j He has Just returned from Greenville, I S. C., where he attended to some im portant business of the Union. Mr. Eubanks Is in Atlanta to organ ize a cotton union under the auspices of the Farmers’ Union. He will con fer with a number of representative j members of the parent organization, and expects to meet with success in launching the new project. The cotton union In which Mr. Eu banks is interested will market the cotton of the Georgia members of the Farmers’ Union, and will, It is be lieved, save them thousands of dollars. It will be in the nature of a broker age establishment operated along a mutual and co-operative basis. The Fanners’ National Union is convinced that the planters lost thous ands of dollars annually In the mark eting of their cotton," said Mr. Eu banks. "The subsidiary union to be organized in Georgia will market the cotton of the members of the parent organization. The middleman's profit will be eliminated entirely, and the cotton union will handle the crop at the lowest possible figure. "The union will experience no trouble in marketing every pound of cotton raised. The staple will be sold direct to the mill men of the United States and the importers of Europe. "The members of the organization will hold their cotton for the mini mum price fixed by the Farmers' Un ion, and the selling will be done through the subsidiary agency, the headquarters of which will be located at Atlanta.”—Atlanta Journal, 3d.

Cashier The Standard Oil Company Is about to have "a fine time." Judge Landis of the United States District Court in Chicago, imposed a fine upon that company Saturday of $29,240,000, the maximum amount upon each one of the 1.462 counts of the indictment on which that company was recently con victed of rebating. The Judge also recommended that a call be issued for a special grand jury which is to consider the other parties to the re bating operations of which the Stand ard Oil Company was found guilty; it is therefore probable that within a short time proceedings will be com menced against the Chicago and Alton Railroad company for the alleged commission of similar offenses.
