SEMINOLE COUNTY
PROHIBITION LEAGUE
I IS ORGANIZED
At the close of a mass meeting held
here at the Methodist Church last
Thursday evening, which was called
and presided over by Dr. Atticus
Webb, an official of the Anti-Saloon
League, of Georgia, the Seminole
County Prohibition League was orga
nized. Those present at the organiza
tion meeting, and who constitute the
original membership, were: Ministers,
Rev. John S. Lough, Rev. E. Ross
Sanders, Rev. M. C. Liddell and Rev.
J. A. Duren. Laymen, T. E. Roberts,
J. L. Haralson, Edgar Mosely, and
Weyman Cannington. Rev. John S.
Lough was named to serve as chair
man of the county organization, Rev.
E. Ross Sanders, vice-chairman, and
Weyman Cannington, Secretary and
treasurer.
The purpose of this League is to
promote better citizenship through
better law enforcement, and to work
for the repeal of legalized liquor sal- j
es in the county and the state, feeling i
that the greater distribution of alco
holic drinks under legalized sale is a ;
far greater nuisance to the public than (
under the prohibition system.
Cards will be distributed to the vot
ers of Donalsonville and Seminole !
County for membership. The only re
quirement in becoming a member of
the Prohibition League is that you •'
will agree to vote a dry ticket when
the issue is before the public, either
locally or state-wide, and that you will
use your influence to seek the repeal
of present existing liquor laws.
The meeting here last week marks ■
the initial effort of the Anti-Saloon
League to get a county organization
in every county of the state. A ques
ticnaire is to be submitted to every
candidate for the state legislature,
specifically demanding that he statel
his position to- the public on how he I
would vote on prohibition measures,
and his answ’er or refusal to answer
will be announced to the voters. The
people of Georgia have twice voted in
referendum to retain state-wide pro- >
hibition, the last time with a greater •
majority than the first, and this es- i
fort of the State and county anti-
Seloon organizations is simply a fur
ther effort to restore the sovereign
will of the people. Those who believe
in the majority rule on the liquor
question are asked to demand their ‘
rights by becoming active in this
movement.
CAR STOLEN FROM IRON
CITY MAN IS FOUND
Sheriff C. L. Chandler states that
Sunday night a car belonging to Mr.
H. M. Strickland of Iron City, . was i
stolen while Mr. Strickland was at
tending church. The car, 1939 \-8
model, was left parked at the Method-'
ist church, and after the service it was i
missing. In a few minutes the state
patrolmen from Donalsonville were
on track of the car, but it was not
until early Tuesday that it was found
parked behind the bus station in I
Bainbridge.
Policemen in Bainbridge telephoned
to the patrolmen here and Sheriff
Chandler went with them for the car. j
Although the sheriff spent much time
in searching, he states that all credit
is due the able patrolmen for finding
the car,
A convict escaped from the local
camp Sunday afternoon and it is
thought by both the sheriff and pa-,
trolman that this convict, who was a.
20-year man, and came here in July
from Swainsboro, drove the car as far j

; be paid on all dues of more than $lO

i cent rate also applies to records and
i musical instruments.

coolers, food and beverage display
cases, food and beverage storage cab
inets.

law taxed fancy wooden matches or j
wooden matches having a stained, I
dyed or colored stick or stem at the j
rate of 5% per cent per thousand. The
new law continues this tax, but also
imposes a new tax on all other match-
es, wooden or paper, at the rate of 2
cents a thousand. In this cateory there
is a floor stocks tax on matches held
on October 1, but retail stocks held

; The new order of taxes contrasted
iwith the supposedly burdensome lev
ies of the World War era, which
yielded only $6,694,000,000 in their
banner year. However, the nation now
has about thirty million more inhabi
tants to share the burden.

sonville. Ga.
