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.

Whether there will lie a fight to have the law repealed is a thing no- Ixidy.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. ’ ’ 10 SAY “ AT A Whole Week of Greetln Plann ed For That Town Valdosta has determined to hold a carnival or trade’s week, begin ; ning on November 7th and cpntin uing through November 12th, to be called “Howdy Week.” It is pro posed to have five days’ continuous entertainment.

Truest m 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.
