PROMS HAVE BEGUN
FIGHT1IAR-BEER
The Next Session ol the Legisla
ture Will Witness Desperate
Effort to Change the Prohibition
Bill.
Atlanta, Oct . 15.—If a campaign
for wh'ich the Anti-Saloon League is
now marshaling its forces turns out
successful it is likely that by this
time next year there’ll be no such
thing as near beer in Georgia.
For if the campaign succeeds the
prohibition law will be amended so
as to forbid the sale of “alcoholic”
beverages, instead of the present
wording which only puts the ban on
“intoxicating” drinks and also has
something in it about percentage of
alcohol that has never accomplished
anything except to furnish a hinge
for confusing technicalities.
In the past several weeks the An
ti-Saloon League has been quietly
corresponding with Georgia’s new
ly-elected law-makers to enlist their
support in the campaign, and it is
stated that many favorable replies
were received.
January last.
A radium bank has existed ft r
some time in Paris. Last Januaiy
one was started in London, and
similar institutions are to bo estab
lished in New York and ether cities.
These banks loan the precious sub
stance to scientists and physicians.
The cost is enormous. As much as
two hundred dollars has been
charged for the use of one hundred
miligrammes for a singleday.
FARMERS URGED 10
NOT SACRIFCE COTTON
President Barrett Declares That
Tendency to Sell Product Too
Early Causes Prices to Sag
Downware.
Union City, Ga.—Farmers of the
United States are urged to not sac
rilice the cotton of this year by mar
keting it too early, in a statement
issued by President Charles S. Bar
rett, of the Farmers’ National Co-
Operative and Educational Union.
The statement of President Barrett
follows:
“It has been- for a number of
So when the next legislature gets ^ enrs the practice among Southern
to grinding out new laws and
amending the several thousand now
on ths statute books a bill to tighten
up the prohibition act will be fed
into the grist, and quite a large
number of saloons-will busy them
selves t-o see that it gets through
with lip disfigurations.
Whether there will lie a fight to
have the law repealed is a thing no-
Ixidy. can say definitely, except per
haps the subrosa communion of the
1 liquor interest?, who are opcnlv
suspected by the Anti-Saloon lea
guers to be preparing to carry war
.iiito the camp of the “dries.
Should it turn out that way an
interesting situation would: result.
It would put both side's to fighting
on the offensive as well as the de
fensive. On one hand would- be
the prohibitionists fighting to get
the law made stricter .than it now
is, and arrayed against them would
lie the enemies of prohibition bend
ing every effort to get the act off the
statute books
farmers, either through ignorance
or indebtedness, to sacrifice larger
or smaller portions of the financial
returns for their cotton to which the
real value of the staple entitled
them.
“Rushing the staple upon the
market the moment it left the gin
nery, regardless of the range of
prices, they have been paid in what
ever figure was ruling at that par
ticular time, without reference to
the bona fide laws of supply and de
mand. ..I
“In itself, thp custom is and has
been a factor for depressing the
market, since it congested the sta
ple and operated to drive prices
downward.
“It would take an expert statis
tical! t'o estimate the loss to the
Southern farmer from this source
since the civil war alone. ’ ’

Real true worth or
value doesn’t always
come wrapped “large”
to be sold at indiscrim
inate prices.
Folk usually know
that higher priced goods
are really worth twice
the price of an inferior
article. This fad
can easily be verified;
and more especially in
the expenditure of good
money for advertising
space in newspapers.
The Progress has
set a fair price on it’s
advertising space and
does not cut under this
price, neither does it
“overcharge” anyone.
The services of the best printers are
employed, and for those who de
sire the services of an advertising
expert, we have one.
ADVERTISED AT LAST
'T'HERE was a merchant in oui
* town
Who was so wondrous wise
He saw his business running down,
Yet weald not advertise.
^AID he: “I cannot see the sense
^ When trade is at its worst
Of multiplying my expense.
I’ll wait till trade oomes first.”
A T last this merchant, ill advised,
** Had naught to do but fail,
And then the sheriff advertised
A bankrupt auction sale.
