ENFORCE THE LAW.
One would hardly expect to
find “booze” in abundance at a
Sunday school pic nic; but, nev¬
ertheless, on Friday of last week
there were more drunken men in
town than there has been since
the last election. Although some
came to Foulan heavily loaded, a
goodly number fiilled up on ci¬
der^) after arriving. We have
it on good authority that a party
from Albany biought several
kegs of cider and beer to town es¬
pecially for the occasion.
Since the “blind tiger” was
raided early in the year Poulan-
ites who wished to quench their
thirst with something strong, had
to order from Albany; but on
Friday beer, “cider” and probab¬
ly stronger drinks were sold in
Foulan with but little attempt at
concealment. This is a pretty
state of affairs for a dry county.
Why are men allowed to openly
violate the liquor laws ? We ven¬
ture the assertion that there is
hardly a town in the county but
what has at least one “blind
tiger,” and in some cases the offi¬
cers whose duty it is to stop this
whiskey selling are probably pa¬
trons of these establishments.
■ The liquor laws should be rigid¬
ly enforced.—Foulan Herald.
The editor of the Local fully
agrees with its little neighbor,
the Foulan Herald, in the asser¬
tion that the law should be rigid¬
ly enforced,” but cannot see how
it is to be done when everybody
looks upon the matter on the prin¬
cipal that “what is everybody’s
business is nobody’s business.”
To enforce the law it will have
* to be made the special business of
some one to prosecute such viola-
tions and the Local can suggest
no better way of doing this than
that the officials of the Associa¬
tion and the leading citizens of
town come together and select a
OFFICIAL ORGAN OF WORTH COUNTY.
Ashbum, Ga., Junk 3 , 1899
few honest, upright men to act as
special deputies on these occasi¬
ons, whose duty it will lie to im¬
mediately swear out warrants a-
gainst all offenders and have
them arrested right on the
grounds, taking care that the
witnesses are named in the wai"
rants and served with equal
promptness.
It is a grave charge that our
little neighbor intimates against
the “officers” and the Local is
loth to believe that such is (lie
case, but if it be so let cases be
made against them for neglect of
duty in cloaking violations of the
law.—Worth Local.
The Local expressed our senti¬
ments m toto. The charge our
neighbor intimates against the
“officers” is indeed a grave one.
With the Herald we say “the
liquor laws should be rigidly en¬
forced,” and we believe every
officer in the county is doing his
whole duty in that respect.
Some of the county officers think
the Herald should have been
more definite and “come out into
the open,” thereby affording them
an opportunity of vindicating
themselves, which they could do
beyond a reasonable doubt.
