Prohibition Discussed
- By Judge George
Says Better Classes Cause
of Non-Enforcement
Cordele, November 16 —Su
perior court of Crisp county con
vened in regular session Monday,
Judge W. F. George presiding.
The greater part of Judge
George’s charge to the grand
jury dealt with the prohibition
law and its enforcement.
NoT ATTEMPT To CRITICIZE. |
“+~Though he declared from his
,observation of four years on the
‘bench, that™ there was not the
same wholesome dispusition on
the part of juries and officers to
enforce the laws designed to con
trol the liquor traffic as there
was when the local option law
was in force, he asserted that
his remarks were not an attempt
to criticize the present prohibi
tion law. nor the more drastic
laws now before the leislature.
INDIFEERENCE OF BETTER CLASS
He attributed as the cause of
lax enforcement of the law a
prevalent luke-warmness on the
part of the better class of citizens
toward bringing about such law
enforcement, and a growing
sentiment among the less law
fully inclined element to bring
disrespect upon such laws.
In view of such a condition,
declared Judge George it would
require the continued and com
bined efforts of the lawful
element of the people of the
state to cause the success of the
more drastic laws touching pro
hibition that have just recently
been enacted. A man who would
oppose the enforcement of the
prohibition law should not be al
to sit in a trial jury, virtually
said Judge George, and in effect
he added that except in very un
usual cases all violators of the
prohibition law should be on the
chaingang. ; ‘

thus lay the foundation for success
ful livestock raising in the state.
The time designated for this place
is 1:00 to 5:00 p. m. Every farmer
in this section should turn out and
see the purebred and registered beef
and dairy cattle, several breeds of
hogs, Prcherson horses. They will
also see very interesting exhibits of
feedstuffs that is profitable to grow
in Georgia. What the®speakers will
say will be right to the point. It is
not to be an occasion for flowery or
atory, political hustings nor exchange
of compliments, but a straight-from
the-shoulder talk about iive stock and
nothing else.,
It is also announced that literature
will be distributed free and all the
time that the experts have at a place
will be gladly given' to answering
questions and giving information of
various kinds.
Wherever a sufficient number of
farmers in any section express a de
sire to have some purebred live stock,
a movement will be set afoot to or
ganize the farmers for co-operative
buying, so as to save cost. This has
already been done in several com
munities in Georgia with satisfaction.
~ Those who did not get out to the
State Fair will have one of the most
instructive and interesting parts of
the exhibits brought to them, if they
will only turn out to see the live
stock and feedstuff display.
This section should not fail to
profit by this meeting and make use
of the information to be obtained, to
get into the live, steck business on
a bigger scale. Where live stock plays
a prominent part in farming, there
will be found the most fertile lands
and the most successful farmers.
