gecide whether the state is to
abolish its prohibition law.
one of the little green tickets,
uwed by the prohibitionists, with
the word, “Prohibition” printed
across its face, is ip the possession

< copy of The Athens
panner of July 3, 1891, which car
sied the story of the election which
the prohibitionists won by a ma-!
jority of fourteen votes.
Election Called 1
The prohibitionists were in favor
of the dispensary system, import
ed from Switzerland and later|
copied by South Carolina. They
decided to support it as a compro-|
mise when it appeared that the
jocal sale of liquor was about to
pe re-established in the county.
The county was legally dry under
local option, then prevailing in the
state. but whiskey was being sold
pretty freely in Athens, it is said,
drug stores were handling it
on prescription.
The situation led the opponents
of existing conditions to call an
election to decide on the legal sale
of liguor. For awhile, it appeared
that sentiment in favor of the legal
sale of whiskey was growing and,
fearing a return of barrooms the
nrohibitionists decided to compro
mise on a city-owned liquor store,
the dispensary, which was later
abolished.
A Hot Campaign
The campaign was one of the
hottest ever held in this couqty.
oth sides holding meetings every
night, the prohibitionists under a
tent on Lumpkin street opposite
where the Holman hotel is now lo
cated and the anti-prohibitionists,
who called themselves the Law and
Order Committee, at a place Op

f the issue were represented by
cading Athenians and the final
vote was 912 for prohibition, or the
dispensary to 898 against that sys-
The morning after the election,
The Banner announced that a re
union of citizens temporarily di
ided during the campaing would

street that night. ‘“All Dbitterness
has been bhuried in the ballot box”,
the paper reported. The re-union
meeting was Sponsored by the
women of the city and everyone
was invited to attend “to rejoice at
yrmonious ending of what
might have been a disastrous war
mong earnest voters and honest
men”. It was suggested that lem
onade and cake sholud be served at
ihe love feast, the women furnish
ng the cake and the men the
lemons.
Drys Lose Heart |
At one time during the count of
votes in the city precinet the pro
hibitionists lost heart. It was in
the early part of the count when
e wets led by itwenty votes.
Looking into the ballot box as the
count proceeded the prohibitionists,
however, took courage again and
were elated when they saw ithe
large number of little green tiek
¢ts—the prohibitionist ballot. The
other side used the regulation
white ballots,
Puryears district was the first to
wort on the election, going dry
by 61 majority. Winterville was
next with 51 majority for ithe pro
hibitionists. Then came Sandy
Creek with 9 majority for the pro
ibitionists, Bradberry's went wet

majority; (teorgia ¥actory by 38
nd Princeton by 22. The prohi

mall majority, . however. Com
menting on the eléection, The Ban

ep the mosg: memorable fight in
the history of Clarke county.
Throughout the contest and until
the finish the utmost good feeling
as prevailed, and ithe close vic
tory of the dry side but attests
the earnestness of the wet side”.

Repudiation of Treaty by

Resolution
FRANCE LED FIGHT
Litvinoff Fails in Effort
To Extend Implications
Throughout World
By RICHARD G. MASSOCK
(Copyright, 1935, by The Associa
ted Press)
GENAVA — The League of Na
tions council today adopted the
tri-power resolution condemning
Germany for her repudiation of
treaty obligations with only Den
mark abstaining from voting.
The resolution, presented by
France, Great Britain and Italy,
deplored unilateral abrogation of
treaty obligations and requested
that the League appoint a commit
tee to consider what measures,
economic and financial, may be
taken against future repudiators of
international commitments.
Dr. Peter Munch, Danish foreign
minister, in the discussion which
preceded the voting, explained
Denmark would not cast its ballot
because she feared adoption of the
resolution would hinder “the task
of reconciliation.”
Poland For Resolution
| Joseph M. Beck, Polish foreign
‘minister, voted for the tri-power
resolution, presumably, League au
1| thorities said, under strong per
suasion from France. Poland pre
viously had indicated her hostili

of its proposals for invoking sanc
tions against future treaty wviola
tors.
An attempt by Maxim Litvinoff,
Soviet commissar for foreign af
fairs, to extend the implications of
the resolution to parts of the
world other than Europe was
overridden.
l The Soviet delegate’s proposal

I “practical measures so all our ef
forts won't be lost in shallows and
miseries,”
Foreign Minister Pierre Laval
of ‘Wrance supported Sir John's
views and asked Litvinoff not to

that the Soviet objective might
“more appropriately be done at an
other time under other circum
stances.”
Litvinoff thereupon argeed and

READY FOR ELECTION
Wave of Exciting Antici
pation Runs Through
Convention in Capital
By BESS FURMAN
Associated Press Staff Writer
WASHINGTON—(®)—A wave of
exciting gnticipation ran through
the ranks of the Daughters of the

posing Becker and Gillentine foreces
got ready for tonight’s floor nom
inations and tomorrow’s triennial

Mrs. William A. Becker of New

dates for president. general, were
checking the states they counted
loyal to their causes, and the
doubtful ones.
Both candidates had places on
today’'s continental congress pro
gram. Bach was to make a com
mittee report giving the 3.000
daughters a chance to register
sentiments in applause.
Supports of Mrs. Becker claim
ed enough state blocks of wotes
to make her winner.
Gillentine’s backers issued a
statement which said: “There is
undercover revoit in the D. A. R.
State delegations are refusing to
toe the mark.” As one example, the
Gillentiners claimed Missour even
though saying its state regent was
for Mrs. Becker.
Backed by Mrs. Russell William
Magna, who is now president gen
eral, Mrs. Becker was generally
termed the “administration candi
date.” But Mrs. Gillentine kept
right on raising issues and con
tended she had strong support in
Mrs. Magna’s ecabinet, her board
of management. J
Mrs. Magna received yesterda,yl
at Mrs. Becker’'s resplendent birth
day tea, where gowns were formal
and food elaborate. Mrs. Gillen
tine, however, had at her less for
mal tea more than her quota of
officialdom. Mrs. Cordell ~Hull, |
wife of the secretary of state] Mrs.
Daniel C. Roper, wife of the sec-1
retary of commerce, and Mrs. Jos
eph W. Byrns, wife of the speaker
were” there. |
Eleven national officers are toi
be elected.

Immediate Steps to

ORDER IS AWAITED
Judge Says Legislature
Must Give Authority
To Revise Lists
. BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — ) —
’Alabama courts and jury com
‘missioners today moved slowly to
revise jury rolls to conform to the
United States supreme court’s de
cision in the “Scottsboro case.”
which many said meant the names
of Negroes would be entered on
jury rolls.
The United States supreme court
in reversing the death sentences
imposed on two of nine Negro de
fendants in the “Scottsboro case”
held -that the absénce of Negroes
from the rolls in Jackson county
where they were indicted violated

DUST ENDG FLIGHT
OF LAURA INGALLS
Voman Flier Is Forced
Down on Effort to Estab
lish New Air Record
ALAMOSA, Colo. — (#) — A
blind battle with dust four miles in
the air, more terrifying than a
trans-andean flight, was described
today by Miss Laura Ingalls, whose
attempt to set a new trans-con
tinental speed record for women
ended here.
“Stupendous, terrific, tragic,”
were the adjectives used by the
120-pound brumnette aviatrix in pic
turing the black blizzard through
which she flew blind before landing
her new black monoplane near
here yesterday at 4:50 p. m,, (6:50
‘p- m. 8.5. T.)
She had been in the air 10 hours
and 40 minutes—four of them
spent in blind navigating — since
taking off on her projected non
stopped flight from Los Angeles to
New York.
Before tetiring, Mjss Ingalls made
a hurried three-mile-trip to the
airport to see that a deputy sher
iff was guarding her $20,000 ship.
Then she had a telephone conver
sation with her New York backers,
who were understood to have en
couraged her to make plans for a
new attempt at a trans-contiental
’crossing in 15 hours or less. The
‘present mark of 17 hours, 7 minutes
‘and 30 seconds was set in 1932 by
Miss Amelia Earhart. * |
The first woman to fly over the
South American Andes alone, de
clared the flight was the “worst
experience,” in her flying career. i
“T was up 22,000 feet and thel
dust still was above me,” she said.
I must have - flown as far asJ

| WASHINGTON — (# — With
hostilities between Senator [Long,"
Democrat, Louisiana and Roosevelt
men flaring into the open again,
’lhe capital ' watched today in the
expectation that Harry L. Hopkins,
( relief administrator, may be the
|next to crack down on Long's new=
gest plans. e
| So far Hopkins has refrained
!fmm saying anything about the
| news from' Baton Rouge that a bill
| has been put forward to place
| relief money under the control of
| the state adminstration which
il,on;r directs through Governor O.
K. Allen.
But the capital noted the assers
tion of Secretary Ickes, PWA ad-«
ministrator, that Public Works
funds “won’t be used to build up
Senator Long’'s political machine”
land recalled that Hopkins, too, had
acted in the case of other states
‘where he charged politics had be
come entangled with relief.
| Follows Developments =~
~ Hopkins was known to be follow
‘}ing the Baton Rouge developments
Iclosely and was said to be saving
his fire until he knows just what
is to become of the relief bill im
[question.
~ Just what he might do if the re
lief measure passed was not dis
closed. Ickes statement yesterday
took the form of a threat to can
cel all Public Works projects in
Louisiana—a threat which brought
from Long the reply that Ickes
might “go slap danin to hell 2.
Once before Ickes had struck at
the ‘Long forces, holding up &l
non-federal Louisiana projects for
sometime after the enactment of
Louisiana’s two-year debt mora--
torium act. The ban was lifted,
however, when PWA lawyers found
that the law would not interfere
with repayment of project loans.
