CITIES TAKING ACTION Atlanta, Savannah and Columbus Go on Record, While Atlanta Journal Sounds a Warning Note. At a meeting of about 150 promi nent citizens held at the Piedmont ho tel, in Atlanta, Wednesday afternoon, strong resolutions were adopted plac ing the meeting squarely on record as opposing state prohibition. The resolutions state that L is the belief of the citizens that prohibition is con trary to the best moral and material Interests of Atlanta and other large centers. It is further stated that state prohibition is contrary to the principle of home rule, which premits one com munity to make its cn laws to meet certain conditions. The experience Atlanta had with prohibition some years ago is touch ed on, and it is declared that, in many respects, the morals of the community were worse then than they have ever been since that time. The mieting in many respects was a remarkable one. It was composed of prominent men in all walks of life. The sentiment of the meeting was practically a umtVor the continuance of local option. The Atlanta Journal, Governor Smith’s staunchest supporter in the state campaign, also comes out strong, ly against state prohibi:ion in the fol lowing editorial utterance: “After the most earnest and sin cere .deliberation, talcing into consid eration every aspect and bearing of the question, we have arrived at the conclusion tha. it is the solemn duty of this paper to enter its protest against the present movement to adopt stale prohibition in the state of Georgia. “But we believe that the highest interest of the s;ate, and the dictates of true patriotism demand that we set our face against a movement which menaces the welfare of our people and is calculated to defeat the end which its well-meaning advocatea have in view. We feel that we would be recreant to the people of Atlanta and to the people of Georgia, as a whole, if we did not voice a protect which hangs upon the lips of thou sands of good men and true men, high in their morality, unimpeachable in their integrity and supremely " devoted to the welfare of the state. “In the firs: place, there has been no mandate from the people for this legislation. In the long campaign of last year many momentous issues were discussed. It was perhaps the great est educational campvign ever held in the state. Matters of great importance were discussed and the controlling is sues finally evolved. “Prohibition was not among them. The declaration of the Macon platform was clear and explicit. It demanded the strictest enforcement of the local option laws, so that prohibition in such counties as have voted fur it in. dividually would be prohibitive in let ter and in spirit. ‘lt is the duty of this legislature to carry out that plank of the demo cratic platform.” The Savannah chamber of commerce and the Savannah board of trade have passed resolutions, declaring in the strongest terms against the passage by the state legislature of the prohi bition measures. Separate resolutions were adopted by each body. All, how ever, join in declaring that the mate rial Interests of the cities of Georgia, and also of the country, are threaten ed by such legislation as is proposed. The Columbus city council has adop ted a resolution expressing disapprov al ef the state prohibition bills. The vote was 8 to 4, two members of coun vil not voting. REAR ADMIRAL FARQUHAR DEAD.
