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 Are you considering joining a MILITARY SERVICE ?
