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 Senoia Notes.

The general manager Ts a man of considerable experience, anil the business will continue to prosper under his able management. 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. Brilliant Nuptials at Senoia. Senoia, Gn., Jan. 12.

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.
