PAGE EIGHT * 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 ; Te [ i ..‘_ ™~ Y -~ TP GRS S made LR W eg - ——— I\ v e -).

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. : ol O R - SOUTHERN BrELL Telephone and Telegraph Co. | ’ ! %5 I DRY%&\H ng 74 B il bi \ ,{I~ fiéy R e Cf 4 3 b4t & 5 § li:',"': - 7 £/ T )%igii R R S e it R S s I % ] & 4 8%%G P ‘-:fj.f:- o R ’ VI R B S B ';g‘ ¢ ERRA, 7 R e ’ .bk e K B T g {gy e 24gRNe 7 g i B Voo Sa s B f.‘;‘b Ve ¢% 2R A R B b Bg oy gt MeEe AR i 'flfi ;4 : b 23 S e & e g o i = | % .a'fi ~ 4 i a 2 B o SRR e . it o A S ¢ 7 SRR i ol ?

B g P 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 unto you?? .
