Atlanta, Ga., Dec.—Although Georgia is experiencing come diffi culties which naturally attend the enforcement of new and radical laws and although there is undoubtedly some room for improvement it is now generally admitted that the whole of the state is solidly behind the prohi bition measures which became ef fective on last May 1, and that the saloon has gone trpm the state to stay. Leaders in ail communities point to the elimination of public drinking, to the improvement in general eco nomic conditions, to the decrease of crime and violence and to an aroused public sentiment which already has accepted these benefits as proof pos itive in favor of prohibition which prohibits. Fulton county already has closed five of its convict camps as a result qf the falling off in prisoners, and it has been estimated by authorities of the State Prison Commission that the general falling off in convicts through out the state haa averaged at least 25 per cent Yet in this very situation lies a menace to the prohibition laws, in the belief of a good meny prohibition leaden, for when the public begins to accept them as a matter of course, then the enemies of the laws are likely/to begin attempts to undermine tAna, Prohibition will still be an issue in the next legislature, unless alt poli tical signs are worthless. Evidence is not lacking that the whiskey and beer interests are planning an at tack upon them in the form of weak ening -amendments. -Already -the laws ars being assailed In the cenita. The speakership nice between N. F. Culpepper, of MeriweatEir and W. H.

Election to be held December 18th, 1816. You: vote and rapport will bo appreciated . Very truly yours, W. S. REESE, • ~ (By his friends.) It is indeed seldom that two peo ple are allowed to walk through the path of life together for a half cen tury of time, but this is the rare priv ilege that has been allowed to Dr. and Mrs. W. M. Haslam, of Pinehurst, ni.d on Monday last they celebrated in a beautiful way the fiftieth anni versary of their marriage. It was truly a golden occasioni thia gather ing together of the children, grand children and great grandchildren, the minister, his wife, and the only brother of the bride of fifty years. The day was happily spent and will long be remembered by those present as one of peculiar joyfnlness. The elaborate dinner served at the noon hour was an especially delightful part of the day’s program. The tpble was exquisitely appointed for the service, the central adornment being a crystal vase filled with gol den roses resting on a mirrored plat- eau. Appropriate speeches were made by Rev. Robinson and Judge J. rt. Woodward. The feast which conristed of sub stantiate and dclica.-ies excellently prepared was a monim-nt to the skill of the faithful old servant. Dicic, vho singularly enough haa followed her master and min'rasi through this pathway marked by fifty milestones. As tie day came to a dote the guests departed leaving the happy eouple with a new store of joys to carry with them through tho years that may yet remain to' them—the golden sunset of their lives.'

THIS PICTURE IS THE SEQUEL TO "THE BIRTH OF A NATION” and is Said to be fine. Thomas Dixon and Victor Her bert's dramatic spectacle with music The Fall of a Nation,’’ will be shown at the Dixie Theater on December 12 and 1$. Its peculiar distinction among the great war films is in its imaginative prophecy of America’s future against the background of the European struggle and in the full view of all the besetting national problems. The author faces the welter of ail the forces working-in our national lift liberty, foreign ties, peace, propa ganda, Militarism, suffragism, imper iulism—and pictures their combina tion in a world-snaking cataclysm, ’-/he outcome forms a surprising de nouement in which women assume .< hading part in the country’s emanci pation. The ten reels were filmed in Lot Angeles at an expense of nearly a million dollars and with all the mod- el equipment of modern scientific v.-arfare. The vibrating, intensely human story “Where Arc My Children," is bringing to the, hearts of men and women r. deeper •Igiiifiuince and ap preciation of the sanctity of the home, a greater respect for the wom anly woman who accepts the sacred duty of motherhood, and a tenderer love for tha little children that come into the heme. Briefly the story ia that of District Attorney Walton, who though ador ing children, is childless, because of Mrs. Waites who practices deceit up on: her husband, of a young and beau tiful girl, Lillian, the daughter of their housekeeper, who became the victim of Mrs. Walton’s dissolute brother;, of Dr. Kaifit; wha> violated: the ethics of his profession by crimi nal practices, ' Tb*' story ta full! of pathos tragedy depleting the trend of lives confrolled:by'selftshnesa.and sin, the 'outcome of th’tae and. their,unhappy effect upon the inrocent.witirwhom they are associated. '.The Misery ; that s’ life steeped in.’sin brings'not only to tho transgressor but those whose lhres chance to bo linked with tbeiti. It portrays the character of Ht Walton- who. foe selfish: reasons is secret murderess. This is the conspicious character in the cast for season of the fact that she has so many protytypes in real life. The unhappy incident in the life of the beautiful Lillian, her untimely death, her deathbed revelation' of her story to her mpther and the- Heart breaking scene when the mother con fronts the district.attorney with her story .are- gripping, scenes. The prosecution of the Doctor by the attorney for the part he has played, his conviction, and his .re- v.cngo obtained by throwing before the attorney hit record book which tola thestory Of- his wife’s duplicity, are equally intense and: powerful thefr revelation. The tragic figure which Walton presents when he faces His with with the question, “Where Are My- Chil dren?” her repentance, remorse and helpless misery during the- fkdihg years of their lives together, are a- fitting, climax to this remarkably en- arted story of life. Tho following letter from Mayor Pierpont speaks for itself.
