* REPEAL OPINIONG
Coming Referendum in’
Ceorgia Arousing Much
Interest Among Press.
Georgia editors, whose writings |
peflect and forecast the trends of
public opinion, are almost unani
mous in favoring a retention of thel
prohibition law it was revealed:
Saturday by a survey of newspa- |
pers of the state ;
In newspapers in nearly every|
county, editorials have appeared :n(:
the last few days pointing out that |
logal option is an impossibility in |
Gem'g’in and that repeal, in nlln']
brief vear has written a black re- |
eord of degregation and failure u:?
live up to a single one of the glow - |
ing promises of its advocates. |
Prom headguarters of the (:('()l'-l
gla Temperance League, headed by
Judge John S, Candler, Milton L.«
Fleetwood, campaign director, was |
jssued a resume of newspaper ('mn—!
ment showing steadily growing
sentiment against repeal. l
A few comments follow:
..Lafayette Messcnger: l
“Legalizing liquor in (:onr,'.:ia\‘
means the return of the saloon
with all its attendant miserips,'
tragedies, woe and debauchery, |
WRill Georgia people do it? When |
the same issue was placed hot‘ore(
the people of Alabama a few \\'nnkal
ago Alabama quietly rose in the;
imight of their moral conviction
and by wide margin voted to retain
the prohibition law in that state.:
Georgia has the same opportunity
and may our people rise to the
same moral heights on May 15",
-~ Moultrie Oserver:
“The worst threat of the alco
holic contest into which Georgia
and Ceorgians have been plunged
is that of beer and wine. It is no
trouble at all to become drunk,
mean and troublesome as a result
of drinking wine and beer. It would
be sold where there is no polk‘el
protection and we would returni
to the era of week-end Kkillings
a!‘(}und gambling places and I'o-!
mote dens, We would have a situa
tion for worse than we had before
the state went dry twenty years|
ago. It would put alcholic drinks inl
the reach of many who could not!
huy bootleg whiskey.” ;
Elberton Star: »
“Whether you are a wet or dry.]
this fact will interest you. \Repeal‘
of prohibition has resulted in a tre- |
mendous incirease in drunken driv
ing” I
Carrollton Times: |
““Millions, countless millions,
have*been spent to break down
prohibition, and many of our voters
have grown up since the saloons
were abolished, hence know but
Httle of the horrors of the period.”
..Dalton News: I
“Having seen what liquor has
dope to more than one man who
could not resist the temptation 10‘
drink, and forseeing the tragedy
that just one drunken driver can
cause, we cannot (-onsciemimm!yl
l.ps:?,ye or yote for whiskey.” i
: ington News: |
“We should certainly hate to see
the prohibition law repealed in our
state. No matter what they do in
law is enforced in Georgia, it i.q{
other states and how poorly the!
_bétter thap any local option or any
attempt at repeal.” l
Adel News: l
“There is no good liquor law.
Those so bent on repealing the
present prohibition law will wake
up to the fact that they have com
mitted a great wrong and it won't
be long if it is repealed. We have
m accidents 'on the highways,
but mone compared to what we
may expect if liquor is sold openly
at every cross road. That is what
the liquor people want.”
Albany Herald: t
*f the state goes bhack to local
opinion, there will be the same
old itter local option fights in

& _MAOICAL'_as it'sounds, it is literally true that from the tele
phone in’ your home or office you can now talk all over
-the world—reaching any one of 93% of all telephones in use
throughout the world. o
A truly marvelous achievement and pne in which all Amer
ica may take pride, since it was accomglished mainly through
the efforts of an American organization, the Bell System.
This leadership in developing world-wide telephone service
*naturally followed the successful accomplishment of nation
.+ ‘wide service in America. Telephone service in this country is
. the model for the rest of the world in quality, dependability
and low cost. This high state of telephone development is the
outcome of continuous efficient, sound and honest management,
coupled with years of research and invention by the Bell Tele
phone Laboratories, “assisted by the precise manufacturing
skill of the Western Electric Company. .
* The organization back of your telephone is necessarily a
large and highly specialized one. Without such an organiza
! tion the service the Southern Bell Company renders might be
- possible, but it could not be as far-reaching and low in cost as
. the service you enjoy today. Every unit comprising the Bell
i System has been designed to contribute toward furnishing you
:;thc best, most dependable and extensive service possible. at
%,fifihe lowest cost consistent with the maintenance of a safe
" financial structure. :

The Wedaesaay of His last week of public life was spent by Jesus
in seclusion, perhaps at the Bethany home where He had been making
His stay these final, trying days, and where His devoted followers,
Martha, Mary and Lazarus, ministered to Him. He may have passed
thig day alone, preparing Himself for the end; or in communion with
His apostles, bracing them against the coming days. But in Jerusalem,
the multitude looked sor Him in vain. On this day the Sanhedrists met
at the home of Caiaphas to perfect their plang to bring about Jesus’
downfall. They were afraid to take Him by force or in the temple:
for this would anger the people. If only they could seize Him secretly
and get the Romang to make away with Him! The solution was at
hand. They were told a man c¢raved admittance., [t was Judas, a dis
ciple of Jesus What will you give me,” he asked, “if T will geliver Him

are underway in the city and|
county. It looks like President,
Roosevelt's building program -is |
bringing results. Prosperity will!
never return unless property own- |
ers can find enough. money to put
their buildings in repair and rent
ers can accumulate enough to|
build small homes. Home owner-'
ship is the backbone of any natiOn!
and the quicker people go back to|
the farms and in homes that are
not mortgaged up to the hilt the
hetter off the country will be. If!
a few more counties agnd cities in |
the state will follow the example!
set by Wilkes then Mr. Roosevelt |
can lop off a few taxes and our|
governor can lower the state ad'
valorem tax another mill. {
The Papas will get together at|
Monroe High school on' April 22,/

for taking such .an interest in the |
school for without him the young|
folks would not have schools to|
attend. Dean George S. Roach ot’!

If you too could visit our factories you could see

You could notice how carefully each Chesterfield

are practically untouched by human hands. 3
