A TIME TO STOP.
For nearly two years the great United States government has:
been waging war on a big industry born in the South, located mainly
in the South, and attaining one of the greatest successes of the South.
This is the Coca-Cola Company,, of Atlanta, with branches all over
the South.
The fight on this concern has been carried on by the gov
trnment through its Pure Food Bureau, of which Dr. H. W. Wiley!
is chief. The case was hung up for nearly two years by the gov
ernment and the Atlanta company appears to have had considerable
trouble in getting the government to take up the case and push it to
a uonclusion. In the meantime this important Southern industry has
been suffering in its business because of the sword hung over its head.
The case was finally brought to trial in Chattanooga, and the
hearing has been going on for over three weeks. Tlie Associated
Press has carried full stories on its Southern wires particularly, of
the hearing, because a Southern industry was involved, and thous
ands of dealers and consumers were specially interested in the de
tails of the evidence.
The hearing is now practically at an end, and The News has
no hesitation in saying that the government has made out a very
poor case. The bulk of the dozens of expert witnesses, physicians
and chemists of national reputation, both for the government and in
rebuttal for the Coca-Cola Co., have virtually testified to one thing
and to one only, that the only drug or principle of any importance
in the popular drink is caffeine, which is the essential alkaloid in
offee, tea, cocoa, etc. The experts have shown little difference over
the amount of caffeine in Coca-Cola; their only divergence has been
at to the effect of the continuous use of a drink containing caffeine
and as to the number of grains of the alkaloid-principle which can
be taken into the human system without temporary or permanent
deleterious effects.
It has been clearly established that there is only one and a half
grains of Caffeine in an ounce of Coca-Cola. It is also proven from
statistics as to the importation of coffee, tei, etc., that eighteen mil
lions pounds of caffeine bearing products are consumed annually by
Ihe American people, while only seventy thousand pounds of the
drug are used by the Coca-Cola people. This worked out in pro
portions shows that a regular drinker of coffee or tea uses about as
much caffeine in a week as the average consumer of Coca-Cola does
in a year.
It seems very clear from the bulk of the expert testimony that
there is no more harm in this popular drink than there is in coffee or
lea; that if a person drinks too much of any of these beverages, which
cheer though they do not inebriate, in any one day or week cr
month, he will be injured. There is nothing mysterious or subtle or
degenerating in any one of these drinks containing caffeine, provided
they are used moderately.
It must be concluded, therefore, that there is no more ground
for, or justice or expediency, in trying to jenact prohibitory legisla- j
t:on against Coca-Cola and the soda water dealers than there would
be in trying to regulate the grocers and restaurants in their sales of
coffee and tea. The truth is that more people are injuring them
relves at home drinking two or more cups of strong coffee at every
meal, than there are injuring themselves with the mild decoction
of caffeine in Coca-Cola at the soda fountains. No well-informed,
self-controlled person will go to an extreme in either habit. But
even if there are ignorant and reckless people injuring themselves at
home or in the restaurants and at the soda fountains, the remedy is
not through statutes, either state or national.
The chief proprietor of Coca-Cola is Mr. Asa G ! Candler,
who through his success with that preparation has become one of
the richest men in the South. He has been a great benefactor of
Atlanta, particularly, in all business relations, and as a developer.
The South should be proud of him, and his virtual vindication as a
business man should be heralded with pleasure throughout the South.
It is time to stop persecutions of him and his great enterprise. He
should not be penalized for his brains, his energy, his success. The
national government having failed with all its powers and resources
lo demonstrate him to be a public enemy, he should be recognized
as worthy of all credit and honor, not only in Atlanta and in Geor
gia, but also in the entire South. It would be well for Alabama, for
every Southern state, if there were other Candlers and other na
tional business successes. —Editorial, Birmingham News. —adv

’ You know just how it is yourself—
when you are tired out, perhaps a
1 1 little run-down, and hardly able to
*| drag around, life is a burden, you are
I irritable, nervous, depressed and
M every little task seems like a moun
- I,tain.
1 Miss Katharine Burns, of Newton,
Mass., says—“About six months ago
I was in a run-down condition and
my blood was very poor. I had taken
several medicines prescribed by phy
s Vans, but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle I noticed
a great improvement. I have taken
six bottles and I feel as well as ever,
and I would recommend Vinol to any
body needing a good tonic to build
them up and make them strong.” (We
guarantee this testimonial to be gen
■ nine.)
| We want to ask every woman who
I finds herself in this condition to try
Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron
tonic, without oil, with the under
standing that their money will be re
turned If it does not help them.
W e know Vinol will create an ap
petite, aid digestion, make pure, rich

strengthen the run-down, overworked,
nervous system. You take no
chances. Try it. Dodson’s 'Pharmacy,

FIRST SURVEY IS MADE
i IN LAYING NEW SEWERS
I Engineers Begin Initial Work
Monday
- The initial work in extending the
J sanitary sewerage system of Ameri
■ eus was begun yesterday morning'
- J when City Engineer J. B. Ansley at
• the head of a corps of surveyors and
i assistants started out to make the pre
liminary survey in the work that means
so much for Amerious. j
The start was made over on the
Northside and 'will be extended out to
the iSoutbside and to East Americus in
! time.
The preliminary surveys in (these
three localities will consume some
, little time and afford an opportunity
| for careful estimates of cost in thus in
creasing the mileage of the city’s sani
tary sewer system.
Forty thousand dollars will thus 1
Ibe expended In extending the .sewer
system to Brooklyn Heights, East
| Americus and out on the Southside, as
j authorized by the voters of Americus
in the recent bond election, which was
carried unanimously, and which means |
so much for the city.
Engineer Ansley will probably be
able to submit estimates of the work
to the City Council at the regular
meeting next Monday.
