GEORGIA’S PROHI LAW
BLLL BY LUMPKIN COUNTY
REPRESENTATIVE FOR RE
PEAL WILL BE OPPOSED.
ATLANTA, Ga—‘“All the moral
forces in Georgia will rise up to fight
any bill offered in the Georgia legis
lature seeking to repeal the state pro
hibition law,” Dr. C. O. Jones, Geor
gia director for the Anti-Saloon lea
gue, declares,
Dr. Jones has reference to the an
nouncement that Dr. Craig R. Ar
nold, representative-clect of LLumpkin
county, will seek to repeal the pro
hibition act of 1916.
“We were not anticipating such a
move, and had nothing to ask of the
Georgia legislature this year,” Dr.
Jones stated. “Of course, though, all
temperance-loving people will fight a
bill of the sort started by Mr. Arnold.
The state law is older than the federal
prohibition law, and is more drafltic\
in its provisions, For those reasons
we will prevent its repeal, I feel sure.” |
Seventeen thousand Georgia mem
bers of the Woman’s Christian Tem
perance Union will oppose any at
tempt to repeal the prohibition law
of 1916, declared Mrs. Lelia A. Dil
lard, state president of the temper
ance organization, in commenting up
on the announcement of Dr. Arnold
that he would sponsor a repeal bill at
the forthcoming session of the gen
eral assembly.
The Representative’s Views.
Dr. Arnold says he has prepared
and will introduce as early as possi
ble after the legislature convenes a
bill to repeal the act of the extra ses
sion of 1916, known as the “Georgia
bone dry prohibition law.”
It is Dr. Arnold’s opinion that oth
er states, in the order, ‘'of the meeting
of their legislatures, are going to do
the same thing.
“So far as Georgia is concerned,”
said Dr. Arnold, “and that is my im
mediate interest, it not only is super
flous that the state statute and the
federal Volstead law be in force, but
the existence of the two makes for
conflict of authority, the possibility of
serious question being raised as to
the proper methods to be employed in
enforcement of the general prohibi
tory feature of the two laws. And
particularly entails a totally unneces
sary expense upon the state, inasmuch
as the federal government has assum
ed the burden of eniorcement.
“There are a good many features of
the Georgia law which personally I
believe to be iniquitous, but wholly
aside from that view, when it is re
pealed, as I believe it will be, we will
still have with us the federal Volstead
act, which gives the United States en
forcement department authority to en
force federal prohibition.
Law Viclates State's Rights.
“When that federal amendment
was proposed to the Georgia legisla
ture I made a speech on the subject
in which I registered my objection to
the gradual obliteration of state’s‘
rights and the concentration of gov
ernmental power in Washington, but |
the amendment has been ratified, is a
federal law, we are living under it
and the incident duplication of au
thority in this state, at least, has al
ready lead to confusion, a bewilder
ment of legal authority and has made
possible conditions and actions which
may become seriously dangerous.”

CELERY FOR HOME USE
Celery was found as a biennial wild
plant on low, moist lands near the
coasts of Europe, Asia and Africa. It
was first cultivated for table use in
England and France; but is now used
rather generally by all civilized na
tions..
Celery is sensitive to adverse soil
and weather conditions; and must be
handled carefully if good crops are
expected. Successiul growers observe
the following points so far as possi
ble:
(1) Get good seed. (2) Plant so as
to have cool weather for bleaching.
(3) Supply fertilizers rich in nitrogen
and an abundance of moisture so as
to keep the plants growing actively
from the time they are planted until
the crop 1s mature.
The seeds of celery may be sown
in semi-shaded beds, near a supply of
water, during the first half of June;
the plants set to the field in August
and the crop harvested in November.
When the plants are about two
inches high they should be trans
planted to a distance of about three
inches apart in the bed so as to make

PORTED WEEK MAY 26.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Along
with maximum volume of the traffic
now moving on railroads an almost
complete elimination of car shortage
has been attained, it was announced
today by the American Railway As
sociation.
For the week ending May 26 a to
tal of 1,044,029 cars of revenue freight
were loaded, and on May 31 unfilled
orders for ireight cars showed only
16,277 cars short of the full shippers’
demand.
179,000 Short in October.
During the week of October, 1922,
when traffic volume was at nearly the
same height, there was a shortage of
179,000 cars.
Seeking - maximum co-operation be
tween shippers, the carriers’ associa
tion also announced that a system of
regional advisory boards, composed
entirely of shippers and heads of ship

COMPLIMENT TO GIRL OPENS‘
BATTLE AT HOME OF MOON
SHINER IN W. VIRGINIA. |
When Madison Cline, of West Vir-‘
ginia, accepted a glass of water from
a pretty maid at the home of William
Lester on Bull creek, recently, he
tdasingly said to her:
“Darn if you ain't the prettiest gal
I ever did see.”
When the smoke cleared away Lee
Hunt, a friend of Lester, was down
with a bullet through his chest and
Madison Cline, Harper Cline and
Greenway Cline were under arrest,
Just how iar the feud will go offi
cials cannot say at this time.
The best information at hand is
that Hunt was visiting at the Lester
home when the three Clines rode up
on horseback. They wanted a drink
of water—or, at any rate, a drink. The
young maid who brought the goblet
of nectar smiled at young Madison
Cline and he gallantly complimented
her beauty, which meant sudden trou
ble, for hardly had the words leit his
lips than Hunt was in the doorway
of the Lester home, his guns belching
lead at the Cline tribe.
Each side taking cover, the battle
continued until Hunt went down with
a hole through his breast.
PLAINS BAPTISTS TO BUILD

The annex will have 27 rooms when
finished.
Mr. J. B. Mauney, an active young
member of the #church, was made

EXPERIMENTS INDICATE THE
NECESSITIES TO INCREASE
PRODUCTION OF FATS.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Selecting,
feeding and breeding of cows could
double the milk production in this
country, according to th¢ department
of agriculture. It is estimated that the
average dairy cow produces yearly
about 4,000 pounds of milk, contain
ing about 160 pounds of butter fat.
Doubiing the present average produc
tion would make it possible to furnish
the present supply of dairy products
with fewer cows and at a much less
cost.
“A study of yearly butter fat and
income records of 18,014 cow testing
association cows for the period 1910
to- 1920,” said the agricultural depart
ment, “showed that the cows giving
100 pounds of butter fat a year pro
duced an average income for the farm
er above fed cost of about $l6; at 200
pounds of butter fat a year the income
above feed cost averaged about $42;
at 300 pounds a year the income aver
aged about $72, and at 400 pounds of
butter fat the average income was
about $lO6 a year per cow. *
| Income Greatly Increased.
“While the cows in the last class
averaged four times as much in pro
'duction as those in the first class they
gave an average income over cost of
feed that was more than 10 times as
great, A tabulation. of the records of
dairy cows from these districts where
the product was sold as milk showed
similar_results. In all cases the high
producing groups were the profitable
producers from the standpoint of in
come over cost of feed.
ALBANY'S CASE GOES TO
U. S. SUPREME COURT NOW
Appeal in Election Suit Taken to
Highest Court in Land.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Albany’s famous
city-manager election case, at least in
one of its phases, has been appealed
to the United States supreme court
on writ of error and the writ was ap
proved by Chief Justice Russell. This
branch of the case has to do with the
women voting in the election of last
year.
The case, sounding Davis et. al. vs.
Warde et. al., raised the question
whether women must have paid poll
tax Aug. 260, 1920 to be eligible to vote
in an election which was held in 1922,
The Georgia supreme court held
they did not have to. Now the writ of
error to the United States supreme
court contends by that action that the
Georgia supreme court has gone con
trary to the nineteenth federal consti
tutional amendment and, in fact, has
set up a sex barrier against the rights
of male voters.

“CUKES” IN CARLOTS
COFFEE COUNTY GROWERS
RECEIVE MORE THAN $l,OOO
NET FROM SHIPMENT.
Cucumber growing has proved to
be a highly profitable industry in Cof
fee county, near Douglas, Ga.
It was stated that one car load
shipment by John M. Hall, ir.. netted
the growers for the best grades $5.00
a hamper. The second grades brought
$3.75 ‘and the “culls” sold for $2.75 to
$3.00. It was shipped to eastern mark
ets over the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroad.
Another car load shipped via the A.
B. and A. to Philadelphia netted more
than $l,OOO to the growers at the rail
road tracks in Douglas. Only two
grades of cucumbers were loaded in
the car, these being of an extra fine
quality. The car load consisted of 400
hampers, each hamper holding seven
eighths of a bushel.
Officials of the A. B. and A. road in
Atlanta stated Saturday that fifteen or
more car loads of cucumbers will he
shipped from Douglas during the
present season. The product, it is stat
ed, is grown by a small number of
farmers, who have adopted a system
of growing and marketing the crop
under the direction of John M. Hall
jr., himself an expert, who terms the
growers ‘“an ‘association of expert
farmers.”
Truck farmers give it as their opin
jon that no finer cucumber can be
grown in any part of the south than
is produced in Coffee county. It is
stated that the season is short in
which the product can be sold profit
ably, there being only a few weeks
between the time shipments from
Florida cease until the markets in the
Carolinas and Virginia are open.

If Back Hurts |
Flush Kidneys !
Drink Plenty of Water and Take [l
Glass of Salts Before Break- |
fast Occasionally }l
When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a
lot of drugs that excite the kidneys
and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
yvour bowels clean, by flushing them
with a mild, harmless salts which helps
to remove the body’s urinous waste
and stimulate them to their normal
activity.
The function of the kidneys is to
filter the blood. In 24 hours they strain
from it 500 grains of acid and waste,
so we can readily understand the vital
importance of keeping the kidneys active.
Drink lots of good water—you can'’t
drink too much; also get from any
pharmacist about four ounces of Jad
Salts. Take a tablespoonful in a glass
of water before breakfast each morn
ing for a few days and your kidneys
may then act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for years to help clean
and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to
neutralize the acids in the system so
they are no longer a source of irrita
tion, thus cften relieving bladder weak
ness.
Jad Salts in inexpensive; can not in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which everyone should
take now and then to help keep their
kidneys clean and active. Try this; also
keep up the water drinking, and no
doubt vou will wonder what became of
your kidney trouble and backache. By
all means have your physician examine
your kidneys at least twice a vear.
