GOOD ROAD NEWS
DRIVE A SUCCESS
Methodists are Raising
Money for S. S.
Annex.
To help make Cedartown a hotter
place to live in —thnt is the object
of the drive now being successfully
carried on by the First Methodist
church to raise money to build the
Sunday School Annex that is so
greatly needed.
A canvassing committee went to
work Tuesday morning, and after
spending the morning taking sub
scriptions, they met at the Right
House and made their reports while
enjoying an excellent luncheon.
When night came they had over $20,-
000 subscribed.
| The work is being continued here,
and letters have been written to Ce
dartown Methodists elsewhere who
will want to have a part in this 1m-
1 portant forward movement, and the
remaining $5,000 will be easily
j raised within the next few days,
j The movement is one of vital im
portance to the church,whose, facili
ties have become entirely inadequate
to take care of its boys and girls in
the school, and the building of this
Annex means much to the church and
the community.

Law Being Enforced.
The Federal Prohibition Director
for this state announces advices from
Washington to the effect that reports
to Commissioner Haynes, covering
every section of the country, includ
ing Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico,
arc uniform in indicating gratifying
| progress in the way of constructive
enforcement of the 18th amendment.
I Commissioner Haynes writes that
| accumulative evidence entirely and
I conclusively disproves recent unfoun-
| dud statements of propagandists de-
1 signed to deceive the public, but
' whch huve steeled the friends of en
forcement to closer co-operation and
more concerted activities.
I “The facts arc,” says Mr. Haynes,
"that real liquor for beverage pur-
I poses is practically unavailable, the
' bootlegger market is diminishing
daily because of universal fear of
| their poisonous product, the home
brew fad is waning, and inoonshin-
I ers are on the run,—all brought a-
1 bout by cutting off sources of supply,
co-operation on the part olNenforce-
ment agencies of every cltaracter,
backed by a crystalized public Senti
ment, an aroused press and helpful
cartoonists, more convictions by ju
ries and sterner, stiffer sentences by
courts. The uction of Chambers of
Commerce, Rotary, Kiwanis and sim
ilar orpanizations, and prominent
clubs in practically every state, is
most significant and testifies indisput
ably that the people are emphatic in
their desire for strict enforcement,
and it is unnecessary to state when
America wills, America’s will pre
vails.
"Perhaps the most encouraging re
cent development is the manifesta
tion of genuine co-operation on the
part of the police in large metropol
itan centers. Such powerful forces,
united in the campaign for construc
tive enforcement, is most significant.
“The 18th amendment is being en
forced to a greater extent than was
ever dreamed possible, and it is a
pleasure to commend the progress
that is being made in your state
through your excellent corps of en
forcement officials.”
