within two hours travel by auto
from the center of Athens, and the
Calhoun highway, that terminates
in our city, will make of Athens
the eommeKlal center for the en

to capacity.
PLAYING A JOKE ON PROHIBITIONISTS ,
Senator Bruce, of Maryland, an a.vo«ed anti-pro-
the prohiibtion law in lieu of the proposed- . .
000. Few of the senators realized that'-trie Senator
of Maryland had injected a joker in the appropna
tions measure which wns passed with -practically mi
opposition. Many of the _w«iwpap«» -of--the -Couafry
...... that a "bull’.’ had been made in the amount
and the wires were used asking for a connrmat.ou
of the change in appropriation. The news iervice
over which the item was received verified its.'first re
port and the story was printed. However, it later-de
veloped that the enormous amount incorporated in
the bill was put there as a joker by the shrewd Sen^
ator of Maryland, who knew that it would dre caught
in the lower house and corrected, but riot before the
story woidd gain nation wide attention.;' Thai real
amount agreed upon for the enforcement ofthe
prohibition law ^thirteen and a half millions. In at
amount will be eventually passed, of course, but even
at that, it is a question whether prohibition will be
come real prohibition or just a rrtytb atld'a camou
flage in its enforcement, - . r 1
A majority of the people of the United States may
be in favor of prohibition, but the sentiment against
the law is so strong, it is a question whether thfe fu
ture will- bring forth any greater degree of. enforce
ment than is now 'Being experienced. - So long As-the
bootlegger pays a higher price for service-than"does
the prohibition enforcement department, it 1 may*be
expected the bootlegging industry will receive ;raany.
recruits from the prohibition forces. So-long.as-that
condition exists, prohibition will not be a.success.an! 1 ,

RESPONSIBILITY RESTS ON JURYMEN
Tlie wave of crime that is sweeping-oyer the co
.try is chargeable in a great measure not only .to
ts and the technicalities-of-the-li
laxity of the courts and the technicalities-or-tho-lav
but to the action of jurymen in failing to find verdicts
of guilt against criminals who have been proven
guilty in the courts. •*-,»
Not only in Georgia is this condition'true; but
throughout the United States. In.the.large ^cilies of
the country, the personnel of the juries is not of the
• * same type of character as (nose of the smaller cities.
' ,. Besides there is a different atmosphere prevailing in
the congested and greater populated centers of‘‘the;
country more or less favorable to the-criminal- class.
In those sections of the countrjvconvIctlonb'gTefjgrtl-
rc to secure'and justice is often defeated through tho
system of jury trials. Tho Tcrro Haute - (Ind.) Trib
une, commenting on the stand taken by Judge. Kava-
miugh, noted Chicago jurist, says:
Judge Kavanaugh, gray-haired jurist (if.Chicago,
hours.
In addition to the big Conftnu-
ally Christmas tree, at tho Inter-
Motion of College avenue and
Clayton street, the merchants
havo not only decorated their
windows and stores, but many of
the windows are rilled with at
tractive hoi day merchandise es.
pectelly selbcted for Christmas
gifts. We da not believe that
them bps ever beta brought to
denouncing a jury for turning loose a man who
says was identified as guilty of three robberies, puts
it strongly and also very concretely: ' ‘When you
hear of another robbery or a murder by a robber in
this neighborhood, you can consider yourselves as
parties to the crime.” For that matter the robbery
might be in the juror’s own home. He Votes to-apt IT
gunman free, who the judge says had no real defense.
That puts a stamp on crime and its. activities.. Why
should criminals hesitate if there is no penalty for
what they do? The citizen who fails, as'a juror Is
voting against himself and his family. More thAn that,
says Judge Kavanaugh, ho is becoming a party, to
crime. His work is the strongest-barrler there is in
favor of protection. _If he breaks down that barrier
he is doing the same thing that he would be doing'if
he let the robbers in through the~b»sement-window
of a building they had planned to loot’’
If jurists in other sections of .the. country-would
I take as, .bold a stand in denouncing- tjie action-of jq-
: ries as did Judge Kavanaugh, more verdicts of guitar
- would be rendered and more criminals,made) to euf-
■ fer punishment for their crimes. Until'the laws aije
■ strictly enforced, the masses of.tfie.people Will m
, entertain that respect and regard' they ihoilld hav
for the courts.
A FAMOUS VICTORY IN ■■■■
T A 17-year-old Chicago negro broke'a'small
dow in a restaurant Three policemen came,to,ques-’
tion him about it. He barricaded,himself in his.room,-'
produced a couple of revolvers and defied' them to i
get him out ' ‘ ”
Before the affair ended 200 policemen had laid
siege to the place, nine of them had. been" wounded
and tin- barricaded negro youth ha4 beep shot to
dentil. And all for a broken window!
The Exact moral of this little tale is a bit ohpeure.
When 200 policemen are called out for a four-hour
gun baLtle, in which a 17-year-old boy.is killed-and
nine officers are wounded, because of a broken-res
taurant window; when all of this happens in a city
where gaug murders are daily occurrences, where
a gang of plug-uglies convicted of'cbnrifVfng at "a
murder on election day are let off with fines; whef
beer-runners, gambling king3, vice 16rds and sue
like gentry seem able to go unmolested from year i_
year—well, something is a little bit out of propor
tion, somewhere. .
r Under the law your 1929 tag must be on your auto
mobile by February 1. If tod have not purchased
your tag, remember that delinquents are subject to
fines after that date.
