vice of one ot the country’s greatest
railimry experts
“Pearl of the Arm}" is heralded
as the serial that will unmask the se

Extra Session Advocated
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 24—A flood of
letters is pouring into Governor Har
ris’ office on the snbj or of calling an
extra session of the legislature for the
purpose of enacting a "bone dry’’
prohibition law against the importan
tion of any intoxicants of any kind
into Georgia pursuant to the recent
decision by the IT S Supreme court
upholding the Webb-Kenyon law, Jn
which it was held that a state has au*
thority under the act to prohibit
shipments.
Some of the letters urge the gover
nor to call the extra session, while
others advise h : m to leave the mat"
ter to the ino orning legislature an‘*
the Incoming administration, which
will take charge in June.
One of the principal arguments
being used bv friends of the governor
who oppose an extra session is to
this effect: That he made possible
tlie present laws by including prohi*
bition in his call for the extra session
of 1015, and that he can well afford to
leave future legislation to the ad
ministration of his successor, Hugh
M. Dorsey.
Mr. Benn Dunn, wlu represent
the popular Colgate preparations,
was in the city Wednesday. Ben Is
on old Cariersvill# boy who has made
good as a salesman in southern ter
ritory. His many friends here were
glad to meet him.
