The Fight Goes Right on.
That the liquor men in this siate
are powfull y organized, and that
a cunning effort will be made to
have the coming legislature change
the prohibition law’ to a local option
law, and also allow the manufacture
of domestic wi”e, were among sev
eral startling statements inade
Monday by Rev. C. M. Ledbetter
an agent to the Georgia Asti Sa
loon league who addressed the
Methodist minister.
“The liquor men have the name
ot every man in this state 1 who is
opposed to them,” saib Mr. Ledbet’
ter. “and they have the nephew of
a United States senator working in
the state in their interests. Thi'y are
going to tackle the legislature in
two places, They’re going to suggest
local option as the best foe of
whiskey, and they are going to sug
gest the manufacture of domestic
wine.
“I understand the Governer-elect J
has signified that he will be glad to
sign a bill allowing the manufacture
of domestic wine. But the man who
will make domestic wine will run a
blind tiger”
Mr. Ledbetter said that there were
two cities in this state which disre*
gprded the prohibition law. One was
Sav annah and the other Augusta.
“They wouldn’t keep but one law
iu Savannah,” said the speaker.
“That would be a law hanging ev
ery preacher who came within
twentyHive miles of the city. They d
keep that law.”
Mr. Ledbetter scored the record
er of Augusta, who, he said, the
other day ipoligisedtoa man he
lined tor a liquor violation.
Mr Ledbetter said he made it a
business el Interviewing railroad
conductors, and they told him that^
where they used to carry lour j
drunken men a day, now, since prosj
hibition came, they canned about j
lour a month. ; ,
Mr. Ledbetter said that crime |
had showed an alarming increase in

The Swine or the Flower?
Oh me! I saw a huge and loathsome sty,
Wherein a drove of wallowing swine were barred,
Whose banquet shocked the nostril and the eye;
Then spoke a voice, “Behold the source of LARD!”
I fled, and saw a field that seemed at first
One glistening mass of roses pure and white,
With dewy Duds 'mid dark green foliage nursed;
And as I lingered o’er the lovely sight,
The summer breeze that cooled that Southern scene,
Whispered, "Behold the source of COTTOLENE!"
“Nature’s Gift from the Sunny South”
COTTOLENE is a pure and wholesome frying and shortening
medium, made from refined cottonseed oil. There is not an ounce
of hog fat in it to make food unwholesome, greasy and indigestible.
As evidence of its superiority, COTTOLENE received Grand
Prize (highest possible award) at the Lonisiana Purchase Exposi
tion; and Gold Medals (also representing highest awards in each
case) at the Charleston Exposition, the Paris Exposition, and the
Chicago World’s Fair. In fact, in every case where COTTO
LENE has been exhibited in competition with other cooking fats,
it has invariably been granted the highest award.

reigned, and where crime decreased . g»

withstanding the money that had j
been sent to Jacksonville for liquor i SS

The same decrease oi crime and ;

In 1907, he said, theie had been
