■ The great trouble with the use
I whiskey in this day and genera
Pn is its impurity. This stuff or
|ncocti->n l they are selling through
e country is running men wild,
lie working poorer classes who
l- e '- the second and third-class
ffrooms of the state no more get
1 article of pure whiskey than
111 could get from the Mexican
a weed. This thing they call
tifying whiskey has made about
D,an y graves, anti caused about
much suffering as the Civil
r- With very few exceptions
the assertion that abso-
lately pure whiskey is as hard to j
find in the poor man’s bar as a
fully-developed set of jaw-teeth in
tharmouth of a setting hen.
The people who drink this stuff
became slaves to it. * You say,
“Why don’t you quit?” The an -1
swer is they cannot quit. It is
like stopping the cocaine or mor
phine fiend. It is a disease—just
much a disease as yellow fever,
typhoid or any other malady. Our
preachers and sober men lose pa
tience with men who drink. They
say it is lack of manhood and back¬
bone. But it is not; the power of
resistance is destroyed by this stuff
they call liquor. It has made
demons of tender hearted and af
fectionate men. It is causing
thousands of men to forget and
act appointing twelve experienced
chemists to examine at will the
whiskey in the bottles and barrels
of the dealers tliKoughout the State
of Georgia, and one-halt of the
people in the business would either
go out of it, or increase the price
one-third instanter.
The State of Texas, some ten or
twelve years ago, made provision
for persons committing crime af¬
ter having been under the inilu
ence of whiskey as an habituate;
the defendant can file his plea of
non compos mentis at the time of
the commission of the act on nc
count of the habitual use of whis¬
key. This plea can go to the jury,
if proven, that they may take it in
mitigation or, extenuation of the
crime commuted. T^xas found
out that whiskey of today and
whiskey of twenty years ago were
two different and distinct articles.
So it is all over the country. Read
the signs in front of barrooms and
see what manner of men ate run
ning them, and after reading the
signs stop and think. This is
enough said oil this subject for
any sane man.
The people in position to know
all, tell you that, whiskey is no
longer under the control of men,
but whiskey is controlling men.
It is responsible, unquestionably,
for at least one-half of the crime
committed in our state.
Is there a remedy? Can we have
prohibition? If so, how?
Before we consider the remedy
let us briefly discuss the argument
of the other side.
We no longer have the defiant
< ( blind-tiger” to deal with. Those
who operate them have long since
discoveied there is no profit m
such business and the judge of
a
circuit has has given every ot
our
fender for this offense >o

such traffic. So we, for a fatr dis

that the ‘blind tiger” Jurni9hes
but a very small portion of the
whiskey to the consumer.
As the law now’ stands in Geor
gia there is no such thing as local
option or prohibition laws. There
can be no such under the present
system. The man who wants wnis
key can get it in less than six hours
from any point in Georgia, and he
gets it.
In all counties in our state it. is
an evident fact where local optiou
has been voted, that a majority of
its citizens desire the whiskey
traffic trom its confines. A major
ito of the people of Georgia have
long since decided that whiskey
must lie taken from her people,
and yet the majority’s will has
beer, almost totally defeated.
When I was in the Georgia Leg
islature, the very strongest argu
ment heard from the members who
were advocating the establishment
of local dispensaries, was that the
large cities of Georgia were ship
ping w'hiskey into their counties
by the train load, and that the
large cities were reaping the reve¬
nue, and the moral effect was the
same now in that particular county
as it was before whiskey was voted
out, and if the people were going
get whiskey, let tlmm get it at
home, and let the county get the
benefit of it for their roads and
schools. %
When I take a irrespective view
of the situation I remember that
the retail dealers of the large cities
did not raise their voice in protest
against the bill for the establish¬
ment of dispensaries generally over
the state when such a bill was
pending. In fact, if they did any¬
thing it was in favor of the bill
for tbeir establishment. The rea
son for this was palpable—nearly
every county in Georgia which
then, and is now, in favor of pro
hibition would have fallen a victim
to the • < better roads and better
BChools” argument which we have
heard so often.
There is but one method by
which the people of Georgia call
enjoy local option, and that is to
prohibit the shipment of whiskey
and other intoxicants into counties
in which the sale is prohibited by
locrl option or high license.
The argument against this bill
will he that the state will lose such
great revenues, and other states
will reap the benefits. They will
tell you that people are going to
have whiskey, and that they would
9end .into Alabama, Tennessee,
South Carolina, North Carolina or
Florida and get it, . and you could ,,
not prohibit it on account of Inter
state state Commerce Commerce laws laws. Congress Cororess
now has a 'ill pending before it to
meet that very situation. It is W
