The question of legalizing the sale of whiskey itself remains to be decided here by another refer endum, which must be petitioned by fifteen percent of the voters, but immediate sale of wine and beer is authorized under the state wide vote. The total Ciarke vote on the three questions at issue was: For repeal—Bsß. Against repeal—Boß. For Beer—9oß. Against Beer—726. For Wine 891. Against Wine—692. While staunch supporters of the repeal cause in Athens and Clarke county predicted the county would vote wet, it was generally believed by disinterested observers that the county would vote dry. But the outcome showed that the “silent vote” determined the issue in this community. The questijon of legalizing the sale of whiskey, was chinged yes terday by the voters from a state wide issue to a community issue. W. T. Forbes, director of the Anti-Repeal club in this county, today issued a statement that the organization he represents will continue its fight, and will oppose legalization of whiskey in Athens. He declared the young organiza tion against repeal made a splen idid fight, and that ‘“despite the fact that indications are the peo ple voting in yesterday’s referenda have repealed he Georgia prohi bition law, I feel that opponents of legalized sale of alcoholic hever ages have cause for gratification; the fight they have made and the close vote demonstrates that liquor has not yet won an overwhelming victory—and it never will”. Both Sides Active In yesterday’s voting in Clarke county, both sides were active, and a constant stream of voters flowed jnto the court house, more than 1,400 ballots having been cast in the three city boxes. About three thousand persons were eligible to vote in Clarke county and the to tal vote was more than half of the registration list.

Richberg. like the President, wants to extend it two years. Before the senate, still sizzling from yesterday's scrap on . the farm march, was the resolution of Senator Hastings (R.-Del.) de manding that Secretary Wallace produce dats, to show whether the government subsidized the agrar ians who came and praised the AAA. The farmers said the money came from their own jeans, and their neighbors’. Wallace said he had not a thing to deo with it,-and “welecomed” a quiz.
