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. Made only by THE N. K.

He contrasted the con- j g* • tition tu Atlanta, where prohibition reigned, and where crime decreased . g» nearly hab, and bank clearings, not- withstanding the money that had j been sent to Jacksonville for liquor i SS had increased 1,000,000. I The same decrease oi crime and ; increase of clearings, he said, had gj been shown in Macon, Augusta, 4.L ^ b my, Rome and Brunswick. ! g: In 1907, he said, theie had been ten lymchings and more than that j number of criminal assauh s in tne state. In 1903 there had been one lychmg and one attempted assault.
