STATE PROHIBITION COES
MARCHING ON.
One liy one the Staten of the South
are adopting State-wide prohibition.
State laws aro already in effect in Geor
gia, Alabama, Mississippi and North
Carolina by legislative enactment. Ten
nessee joined the Prohibition column
this week, a bill having passed both
branches of the General Assembly of
that State in the Senate by a vote of
20 to 1!!, and the House by a vote of
62 to 36. The Act as passed provides
that State-wide prohibition shall be
come effective J uty 1, 1909.
The Prohibitionists are active also in
Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas and
Texas, and claim that State taws will
tie enacted by the Legislatures of those
States during the present year. This
claim seems to be well-grounded, judg
ing from statements that have appeared
from day to day in the leading news
papers of the country during the past
few weeks.
In his message to the General As
sembly of South Carolina this week
Gov. AnHel recommends that a local op
tion law be passed allowing those coun
ties in which dispensaries are located
to vote upon the question of the reten
tion or abolition of the dispensary, and
if is believed that a statute to this ef
fect will be enacted.
In Florida the Prohibitionists claim
a clear majority in both branches of
the General Assembly, and when tha
body convenes they expect to put
through a bill providing for State-wide
prohibition.
Similar movements are on foot in Ar
kansas and Texas, but the Prohibition
ists of those Stales are not so confident
as they are in South Carolina and Flor
ida.
It is by no means unlikely, therefore,
that the year 1910 will see State-wide
prohibition in effect in every State
south of Mason and Dixon's line, ex
cept possibly Texas, Virginia and Ken
tucky.
Richmond News-Leader: "If Mr.
Taft will but understand the 'possum
as he is; will appreciate him at his true
worth ; will find him cooked as he ought
to be, brown and fat and tumbling to

pieces at the touch of the knife, and
will enjoy him as he ought to be en
joyed, he will capture the Georgia
heart instantly. No breadth of states
manship, no wisdom of policy, no pro
fundity of political strategy, will so
aurely endear him to the native Geor
gian as a lull appreciation of 'possum.
II e is a large, strong man. If he can
contrive to absorb into his system
about three pounds of ’possum meat
with several sections of sweet potato,
also properly browned and gravied, we
think he can dictate the disposition of
the future electoral vote of that com
monwealth."
According to a ruling by Attorney-
General Hart all special elections held
prior to July 1, 1909, must be held
under the old registration, notwith
standing the new registration law pass
ed by the last General Assembly be
came effective Jan. 1, 1909. The new
registration law requires that all vo
ters participating in any election must
have registered at least six months be
fore the election is held; but in view
of the fact that the new law did not be
come effective until the first day of the
present year, it is manifestly impossi
ble for a voter to participate in any
election held before July 1 unless he be
allowed to qualify under the old regis
tration law.
Here is what Governor-elect Brown
says of the new prohibition law. after
waiting to see a year’s test of it: "It |
would hardly be fair for me to say
whether, in my opinion, the law has
done as much good as its supporters
predicted, for enthusiasm is always
prone to underestimate the strength of
an opposing force. I think the only
fair test of the benefit of the measure
is to average carefully its effects in
the various sections of the State, and,
having done that, I can truthfully say
that I think tflie law has been of benefit
to the State.”
Checks were mailed out to the va
rious counties by State Treasurer Park
on Wednesday last for amounts age re- i
gating $140,000, being another payment
on the school appropriation for 1908.
This will leave about $450,000 still due
the teachers on last year’s salary ac
count, including a balance brought over
from 1907.

D. W. Boone Furnishes ’Po3sum for
Taft Banquet —Harry Fisher
Will Cook It.
Atlanta Constitution, 15th inst.
Col. Harry C. Fisher, of Newnan,
Ga,, known throughout the length and
breadth of the country as a pastmaster
in the art of cooking " ’possum and
’taters,” a prime dish to be served at
the Taft banquet to-night, will cook a
’possum especially for the President
elect, which will be served to the
guest of honor in a steaming chafing-
dish.
Recently when the report became
current that the ’possum crop for the
Taft dinner was about to be short
(since corrected), Col. Fisher, who
was in Atlanta, returned to Newnan,
and there secured from Mr. D. W.
Boone, a prominent merchant of that
city, a ’possum which Mr. Boone hud
been fattening for his own use.
With this ’possum’s tail safely
caught in the split of a sapling. Col.
Fisher returned to Atlanta, where he
announced that he would cook it at his
home in this city, and with it done to a
turn will send the dish, pining hot in
his chafing-dish, direct to the banquet-
room, with instructions to serve it,
with the top on, to the guest of honor.
There are few men of prominence in
Georgia who cannot attest the tooth
someness of a ’possum prepared by Col.
Fisher.
To Pay 1909 Pensions.
Atlanta, Jan. 11.—Pension Commis
sioner J. W. Lindsey is making prep
arations to pay all the 1909 pensions
by Feb. 10, and has notified State
Treasurer Park that drafts will prob
ably be made upon him for the entire
sum about that time.
The pension appropriation is $950,000,
and it will take the greater part of it
to meet the demands of the year. With
the beginning of to-day there was $1,-
015,281.50 to the credit of the State
Treasury, being either on deposit there
or in the various State depositories.
Tne Treasurer expects to collect about
another million between now and the
first of the coming month.
The Father—"There is one key you
don’t seem to use much on your piano,
daughter.”
The Daughter—"Which is that, fa
ther?”
"The one you are supposed to lock it
up with.”
The confession that a woman goes to
most faithfully is her looking-glass.
