WINDER GEORGIA
A JINT DISPUTE ABOUT COCA
COLA.
(Continued from fifth patio.)
the greatest chemists and physi
eiims in the United States, and tdie
supreme court of the United States
affirmed the decree.
In his reply, Editor Shannon did
not refer to this decision, but gave
Editor Rucker a solar plexis that
put him hors de coni hat for good,
as follows:
“Well, we’ll have a little friend
ly “jint spute” with Brother
Rucker, who says that it requires
no courage now to tight whiskey,
from which might be inferred that
we. too. have recently crawled on
the water wagon. Rucker does not
intend t<> convey this idea, but the
inference is easy. The first time we
went to the polls to vote - the first
vote we ever east was plaeed in
: e ballot box forty-three years
ago in Franklin county, and that
vote was east for the prohibition
candidate for president of the
United States. Prior to that time,
we held membership in the com
munity temperance society. We
have never known the effects of
strong drink. We have never been
under the influence of strong
drink. We have been in the news
peper business nearly twenty
years and we have never inserted
a whiskey advertisement. Long be
fore we reached our majority, we
fougnt for prohibition. We stood
f,r prohibition when it was ex
ceedingly unpopular and when the
prohibitionists were mighty lone
some. We do not belong to that
class of prohibitionists, if such
there tie. that preaches prohibition
and stores the keg in the cellar. So
much f or that. Now. as to coca
cola. We do not drink it We have
never advertised it, not because of
conscientious scruples, but because
we have never had the opportun
ity We would today aec?pt an ad
vertisement of coca-cola at our re
gular rates, if it was tendered. So,
we are under no sort of obligations

tottie coca-cola company. The Free
Press says that “Coca-cola is do
ing Georgia a thousand times more
harm than whiskey.’’ We do not
believe a word of it. From our
view point, there is not a word of
truth in that statement. Coca-cola
is not in a class with whiskey. Cos
to the court rtcords for eidence.
Whore is the court record to show
that a single crime committed was
ever produced by the use of coca
cola? The records do not show
such an instance, while the records
of every court held in the land is
crowded with crimes produced by
the use of strong drink. How many
men have gone home at night and
heat their wives and children be
cause 'ney used coca-cola? Not a
single instance can he given. How
many murders have hccu committ
ed resulting from the use of coca
cola" Not one. And does Brother
Rucker know, that the records of
all 'lie courts arc filled with such
.•rimes committed while under the
influence of strong drink? Dr.
Powell, who for many years was
at the head of the state sanitarium
at Milleilgcville, stated, over his
own signature, that during the
years of his service thebe has not
been one single case brought there,
whose history was in the remotest
degree connected with coca-cola.
We present herewith the analysis
of coca-cola :
Sugar, in the forn* of syrup,
15.58.
Faffein, derived from tea leaves,
o.2t>.
Phosphoric acid, 3.34.
Citric acid, from lemon, 0.03.
Flavorings, carmoel, etc., 4.36.
Mineral matter —Ash, 0.01.
Alcohol, from flavoring extracts.
0.75.
Water, 92.845.
Total, 100.
The analysis shows that there is
almost as much water in the drink
as there is in a turnip. The analy
sis also shows, that there is no
more caffein in a glass of ooca
cola than there is in a cup of coffee
Then why not attack coffee, too?
Why discriminate? Almost every
body drinks coffee, and we have
never heard of the asylum being
tilled with coffee drinkers nor-jails
with coffee drinkers, nor coca-cola
drinkers. If we may accept the ver
dict of chemists, coca-cola and
coffee are on a parity. Tobacco is
far worse than either. Wc witness
ed the injection of a little nicotine
from tobacco into a dog, and it
killed the dog too dead to skin.
Aside from its injurious effects,
tobacco is positively filthy. It does
not look like any decent man
would use the filthy weed, but we
do. We could go on indefinitely,
but this is sufficient to allow Bro
ther Rucker to understand our
position. We are not fishing for
minnows, like coca-cola. We prefer
to tackle the big fish.—Lawrence
