Small, the newspaper man, the preacher and the temperance ora tor, in accordance with advance notice ppoke in the court house in this city Saturday afternoon. A fair audience greeted him and paid marked attention to his red hot shots at the demon rum and the whis key traffic. His theme was “law and order in Georgia,” and to say he handl ed his subject in a masterful manner would but faintly express it. Taking up the question of “personal liberty,” Dr. Small handled it in a most unusual manner. With the bit terest and most telling sort of sar casm, he convincingly disputed the right of any man’s “personal rights.” to sell liquor to the detriment of his fellow man. As to State Rights. State’s rights was one of the main issues that brought about secession, the speaker declared. Yet, today, the people of the South were the most ardent for national prohibition. The (reason for this lies in the fact that no matter how stringent a prohibition law is passed by any state of the Union, Uncle Sam will continue to sell cit izens of those states internal revenue license and also permit interstate 'Shipment of liquor. National Prohibition Sure- National prohibition by 1920 is the belief of Dr. Small, who says the anti liquor ranks in Congress are growing larger and larger every year, with the outlook bright for a clean sweep* for this question before the close of the present decade. Dr. G. W. Eichelberger, who is ex ecutive secretary of the Georgia Anti- Saloon League, is accompanying Dr. Small on this tour of the state. He preceded Dr. Small and briefly out lined the work of the State organiza tion, and told of the magnificent work it has accomplished since its re-org anization, some eighteen months ago. The speakers were introduced by Dr. J. A. Thomas, pastor of the First Methodist church, in his usual happy manner. NEGRO KILLS ANOTHER ON RYLANDER FARM Lige Clark killed Frank Hayes Fri day night.
