VOL. XVII. ALEXANDER SECTION KILLED. Pric Near-Beer Substitute Passed 3y Senate Tuesday Afternoon. By the adoption of a substitute for the Alexander prohibition sec tion of the general tax bill, offered by Senator Price, of the Twenty seventh, the senate Tuesday killed the Alexander section and retains what is in effect the Wise act passed by the extra session in 1908, with increased taxes and additional re strictions as to sale. The Price substitute differs from the Wise act in several respects. In the first place it increases the tax *n wholesale dealers in and on tar manufacturers of near beer to sl,ooo,and puts the tax on retailers up from S2OO to S3OO. In addition to the foregoing it prohibits the sale of any substitutes for beer, wine or whisky outside of incorporated cities and towns, and further prohibits the sale in any town of less than 2,500 inhabitants, thus confining near beer traffic to the larger towns and cities of the state. The house agreed to the Price yamendment Wednesday night. MILTON CANDLER DEAD. Milton Candler, distinguished Georgian, died Sunday night at his residence in Decatur, after a linger _ng illness.

WAS IT BARTON’S WHISKEY. Mr- J. L. Pitman who lives just this side of the branch, between Monroe and the Cowpens, was in our office yesterday and told of a find that he had made in the pas ture near the branch. lie was out getting up his cows when he found a pint bottle filled with whiskey hid away in the mud. He took it up and, upon examination, found that the whiskey was in fine state of preservation and the cork in the I Kittle had rotted down even with the neck of the. bottle. The pre sumption is that this bottle of whiskey was lost at the time David Barton, late of said county, lost his life in the swollen waters of this stream some seventeen years ago last June. Jt was after a heavy rainfall that Mr. Barton, in an in toxicated condition, attempted to cross this branch and lost his life. In his pocket he had a flask of \f iiskcy that he had procured from a Monroe saloon and that, in all probability, was made in Monroe. Mr. Pitman says: ‘‘l know the whiskey is good, for when you shake it up it becomes right heady on top, but lam afraid to drink it” This find is a little singular and, it must surely have been well buried to have held its own so long. —Walton News.

That is what we l>elieve the relig ion of the future will teach. And come to think about it, we have just about named the millenium- — Dublin Courier Dispatch. NO. 2
