PROHIBITION OFFICERS
Atlanta. Ga., Dec. 5.—reople who

quested by government officials to

Quite recently some people have
boldly asserted that they knew of the
existence of such places and then
censure the officials for failure to VP
press them. Local enforcement offi
cers are calling the handj of tliei
critics, and ask them to supply them
with this Information.
"The 'bootleggers’ both buyer and
seller, denounce the Volstead act on
the ground of Interference with 'Per
sonal liberty,’ said an official here to
day. "Some years ago railroad offi
cials recognized that If they would

Why not use Upson Board
in die first place?
For the finest home or modest cottage, it
builds walls and ceilings of enduring charm Ml
Y OU know plaster is unsatisfactory. It cracks and
falls—it never can be satisfactorily repaired and it boarc>
must be repaired every few years.
A wall or ceiling of Upson Board will never crack or
fall. And it can be finished in a hundred pleasing and
artistic ways.
But do not confuse Upson Board with ordinary wall
board. Upson Board is harder, stronger, and stiffer.
And unlike brittle, absorbent plaster board, it is neither
difficult to apply nor costly to decorate.
New improved Super-Surface Upson Board has a
beautiful pebbled surface on one side, and a smooth,
lumpless surface on the reverse side. .. .

ported Governor Hardwick in the
recent senatorial campaign,
dismissed Saturday, following the
hearing Thursday and Friday before
the state highway commission.
John N. Holder, commission chair

their political activity caused the
men to lose out.
"Regarding all this business,” said
Chairman Holder, “I may have a
more detailed statement to issue lat
er on. It is enough to say now that
we found the charges were not back
ed by proof.”
It was believed that the further
statement to be made by Mr. Holder
will be made some time this week
when the governor returns from his
vacation.
