DRY ATLANTA-HOW SHE LOOKS
The Day Dawns and Goes

AND WITH IT WHISKY GOES TOO.
The Scenes on the Streets
During the Last Day.
JUGS AND BOTTLES HAVE FULL SWAY
But No One Gets Hurt and all Go
Home Happy,
From Thuradar'a Dallr Constitution.
This morning for the first time In her his
tory it is unlawful to sella drink of whisky
within the limits of the city of Atlanta. At
twelve o’dook leet night prohibition wont In-
to effect, and Atlanta atanda alone a olty of
fifty thousand or more Inhabitants committed
to that policy.
The manly and tho reasonable thing to do,
la to give prohibition a fell, fair and frank
trial. It baa been ordered by the people in an
election that has stood the teat of exhaustive
legal scrutiny,and la accepted as a fair and full
expression of tho popular will. Small evasions
of tho law will help neither those who make
them nor tho cause they represent. The
Mends and tho enemies of prohibition agreed
during the campaign that It was an experi
ment. It should bo aoeopted as inch and put
squarely on its merits. If tho will and spirit
of the law la obeyed and prove* to he a failure,
In eighteen months It will bo reposted by a
popular vote. If on the other hand it la evad
ed and contested, no matter what tho romlt
may bo it will only band the prohibition peo
ple closer togother, and make any adjustment
of tho leeue tho more Impossible. All olastes
should unite In seeing that tho law la fairly
and honestly carried out. Pat It on its merits
and if It la beat It will stand. If it it not, It
will fall.
Beyond the responsibility of the people to
which we have alluded, there la a hoary re
sponsibility resting upon those who am charged
with tho administration of tho law. Thera
should ha reason in all things. An attempt to
press technical points and path the enforce
ment of the law beyond reasonable limits, will
be sura to react. There an largo lames and
large interests involved in tho experiment
upon which Atlanta has entered this morning.
These should bo met and adjusted In the larg
est spirit of liberality oonslstent with tho en
forcement of the pnrposo that lisa in prohibi
tion. Pettifogging espionage will be as fatal
as trickery in evading the law.
Whatever may be the result* of this experi
ment Atlanta does not shrink from meeting
them. She went into the prohibition fight
with her eyes open. Every phase of the
question was discussed in tho prolonged and
heated campaign. She determined deliberate
ly to try prohibition and accept the conse
quences of that trial. The experiment be
gin! this morning. It will be watched with
interest in every state In tho onion. Atlanta
owes it to herself to make this experiment
In sn honest, fair, dignified end libera! way.
This ws an sure sho will do.

Men Moving About with Jagfl and Drinking
Together the lout Time.
The day has been watched for with tho
greatest Interest by every one In Atlanta and
ont of Atlanta. Every day for the past week
the universal salutation has been:
“Well, Wednesday next is the last dsy for
liquor.”
The facisl expression accompanying the re
mark, however, differed. A prohibitionist
would smile a pleasant to-the-conquorar-
belongs-the-ipoila sort of a smile, while the
anti's face was covered with a frown and his
voice was indicative of almost pain.
Bnt the dsy has come end gone, and the
world still moves on.
On* of the most Interesting features of tho
dsy was tbn'grcat number of Jogs, bottles end
dcmljolun aeon on the streets. To the oh*
servtuwbo occupied a position near the oor-
ner grreachtreo and Marietta street, Jogs
always In eight. Old men, young men,
roman, poor man and well-

Some carried them openly ana In
dependently while others had them aacnrely
wrapt In paper end carefully
stowed sway under one arm.
eo as to attract aa little attention as possible.
Jogs were swung about with an air and froe-
pom never before toon In Atlanta.
On Decatur street, near Loyd, there was a
moving, seething mam of negroes. Every on*
had a bottle or Jug and all were
having com whisky put In
them. They were remarkably orderly
however ^id joked about tha closing.
la the beat of humor prevailed.
Tha atopic appeared willing to accept tha
sltnylon aa It was, and with a smile and
word pMwd each other.
’ the leading ealoona of tha city hat
jn famous for Its fins com whtaky, and
long tha patrons of that saloon wae
Capitol avenno cltieen who never
drank anything bnt the com whisky.
Yesterday about noon ha an tend tho saloon.
Bs had a five gallon dtmljohn In hla hand
and plaeiog It on the counter said:
“Got any that good corn liquor yet?”
“Yea,” said tha aaloonlst, “How mnebdo
yon want?”
"Five gallons,” was the answer.
“Well, don’t know whether Iv’e got that
mnch or not but I ”
"Alright, give me what you're got, 'canes
it’s good. Put it np till I get back,” aid the
gentleman, as ha walked out
~ were several gentlemen standing
tho aaloonlst picked np hla hag of
Iquor and emptied every drop In the
, hn, bnt it was hardly half enough,
saloonist then wished at the crowd and
‘Well, here’s a chance to get even on him
'cause be voted prohibition.”
Ha then filled the demijohn with gin and
.jrklng It np placed It on the counter. Tha
crowd decided to star and aaa tha play ont and
presently tha oora liquor drinker who voted
for prohibition came hurriedly in.
“Oct my com whisky reedy?” be asked.
"Ye*. Here It 1a” answered the saloon
“?Ail right; give ma a glass let's sae how
It tastes.”
A glass was set out, and tha crowd looked
on with renewed Interest, believing that the
purchaser would detect the fraud. Ha poured
ont a drink, gulped it down and mid:
“Oh, that’s fine! Bow much I owe
you?”
“Fifteen dollars,” answered the bar man, as
the crowd began to ami la.
Tha citizen paid for his gin and corn liquor
asd left.
If a man had owned five thotusad jigs yes
terday morning In Atlanta, and tha jags bad
have been bis, he could bar* gone to bed last
night rich.
Money c
could not bny a jag yesterday.
There were none in town.
Tuesday at noon, O. B. Stewart, on Peter*
street, received two thousand five handled
jars and yesterday afternoon wae down town
frying to buy more. One firm reoolved three
days ago, two car loads, and yesterday wanted
more, but conld not get them. Jogs that have
been discarded for years were yes
terday brought out. boiled out, clesnod out
and then filled with liquor. Tha vinegar jng.
the molaaes Jog and even the Jog which had
hern consigned to the ash pile as a receptacle
for lye was brought into use again, and is to-
dsy a treasure. Bottles were abundant, It U
true, but it took too many of them to holdaa
mnch aaa Jng.
TIIE LAST DRINK.
As tha Clock Strike* Twelve the Men Take
Their Last.
At midnight a doaen men, quiet bnt well
loaded, were In Breitenbuoher’s. Some were
sitting at the table, some were standing by the
counter and tome In tho middle of the floor.
Tho hinds pointed to midnight, and Phil
Breite nbnrcher said:
"All ont now; 'tis midnight, and the town'*
dry."
"One more drink,” said some one, “come op
and call for It.”
"I’ll take a beer,” said one.
“Wblakey,” said another.
"Gimme * cocktail."
“A eonr.”
“A straight.”
“Qnickboye, the clock’s striking,'' yelled
Phil.
"Here's to probe” said the setter up.
“Bore's to prohl,” answered the crowd In
chorus.
The negro man grabbed a rad, began taming
ont the lights, and in a minute the place wet
dark.
In Folsom's two old proht't stood side and
side. They were sober, and they were welt
ing for the clock. Their drloks were before
them, and whan tha deck began to atriko one
grabbed hts glare and said:
“May It always stay dry,”
“Yes, may It always stay dry,” answered
the other.
"Folsom, did yon send my five gallons c
home?" And In a minute Folsom's saloon a
lug, one a cocktail, the other straight liquor.
"Put me a bottlo under the oonnter, and
here's your money,” said ono of tho young
men to Mr. Holland, one of the most popultr
reloonlsts In the south.
"A whit?” asked Mr. Holland.
“A buttle of whisky. I can call and get my
d rink when I want It.”
‘ Excuse me: catch me dishing ont whisky
here after tonight.”
•Why?”
"1* re always bad a holy horror of sleeping in
jail. Don’t think I'll try It on this sum
mer.”
And tho yonng man tamed sadly sway,
carrying the quart under bis left arm.
At tan minutes to twalvo the reporter
again went into tho bar. This time he round
a number taking their lost nip. Presently
fellow wearing a broad brim hat waltzod
and slapping hla atlok on the oonnter, said:
"I’m a howling cowboy from Texas, and I
propose to drink this town dry, I do. Give
mo straight good, Mr. Gin Sllnger, and no
stamp water, goat milk and logwood. I'm
bad dtlsen, I am. Do you hear,”
Special Officer Fouto was standing conven
iently near, and tap;' ‘'
reminded him of the
quiet or bo bounced.
"All right, pud, give me er quart, an' I’ll
go."
Ho got hla qnart and departed, and he was
the last man who drank at the Klmbtll house
bar, for the doors eloaed, 'and the last night
waaover.
“What will yon do tomorrow?” asked tho
reporter of the proprietor.
"Just what was published In yesterday’*
Constitution, in an interview with Mr.
SeovlUe.”
“Yon fear no trouble?”
"Note bit. There will be no violation of
tho law, and where can tho trouble corns
from?" __ __
LAY OF TOR LAST MlNSTfrfcLS.
The Boys Who Took In tha Town After IS
O'Oloek.
“Mule hath charms to tooths the savage
■east,' 1 and aa the drunken crowd were
forced from the doors of the Big Bonans* by
the polios—they bant into long, end forming
Into* regular battalion, four abreast, they
mucked uonnd the Kimball, making the
night hideous with their din. It wae a good-
natnred crowd though, despite Its bluster, and
their hoots and yelu meant no harm to any
body, unices It was to tho man that was trying
to sleep.
"Pare around the bottle and well ail take a
drink," was tha bnrdtn of their long, and this
wae punctuated hare and there with yells
ot “Hurrah for prohibition.” Noth
ing hot a bonfire and a
few icons of torch lights were needed to make
np a regular Fourth of July demonstration,
and tha thing had very much tho air of a
Christmas night in midsummer.
Now and then some poor fellow who had
shipped more than he conld carry would drop
from tha ranks and sink to tha pavement, bnt
h* would be grabbed on either side by those
whose legs were more steady, and dragged
along after tha yelling procession. Some fal
lows whoa* llqnor developed a belligerent
spirit, would square themselves offend declare
that theyoonld lick any son of a thief of a
prohibitionist that wonld show himself, bnt If
sny inch was present ho was notofsn argu
mentative tom of mind, and was disposed to
take their word for It. The police were In
structed to give the crowd considerable lice are,
and only interfere when necemery to prevent
Injury to person or property. The strolling
minstrels accordingly took possession of the
town, and a* Tux Constitution presets ware
working this morning, the refrain still echoed
In the distance, "Pee* around the bottle and
we'll all take a drink.”
ATLANTA'S WINE BOOMS.

A Prohibitionist Says That Prohibition Will

Jut now s good many paopla In Atlanta are
asking themselves, their friends and thsir
neighbors that question.
“Prohibition u hare,” they my, “and now
that it labors, will It prohibit?”

THEY DO NOT CLOSE.

The wholesale men will remain open until
about the last of Angnet, and after that time
whisky will not berm ule anywhere except
In the drugstore*. Tho wholesale houses con

that Cox, Hill A Thompson, J. M. Hill and

fears about tho enforcement of tho
laws. Mayor HUIyer saye tho lam

tho police couit saye tho lam shall boon-

Yesterday at noon and last night at midnight
Chief Connolly retd the ordinances to tho po-

in force it rigidly. Ho informed thorn
that selling liquor In Atlanta now waa as
much a violation of a city law aaa state law
end gavo them to understand that neglecting

need not Interfere with merchants who have

Th* Construction Pieced Upon the Term by
th* Mayor end Chief.
The leloonlate who are thinking of opening
win* room* are anxious to know whet con
struction the mayor and police department
and caarte will place upon “native wlnte.”
Borne persons claim that “natlva wines" mean
wines mad* In Georgia only, while others
claim that It means winw made any whan In
tha United States. Yesterday Mayor HUIyer,
laatlon.wld:
iw liberally oonetrnsd, will
permit the sale of any winw made In the

“Unleea I am otherwise instructed,” sold
Chief Connolly, “I shall not interfere with
wine rooms wiling wine* made anywhere In
the union. I think tho law does not Intend to
preclude wine* mad* In other states.”
“Bupnow a man opens a wine room. He has
winw down stain and a restaurant up stairs.
Can a customer buys bottle of wins, send It

“With a meal or lunch?"

THOSE VACANT HOUSES.
What Baal Batata Agents gay or Certain
Th* OomWTUTioM has already referred to
the statement* published In a Macon paper rel
ative to th* number of hosaw for rent In At
lanta. Oneofthow statement* wae that th*
real estate agents of Atlanta havaonthair
rent Hate fully fifteen bandied house*, and
that this large number of vacant houses wu
tha recrilt of Dtohibftion.
Toe Constitution hu shown that this wu
a treacly exaggerated .statement of the number
ef vacant house* In Atlanta, and this morning
it is enabled to show how th* exaggeration oc
curred.
Th* parties who eansad tha statement to b*
published, obtained from th* real eitste
agents lists of all hoatu sad
parts sf houses they have for rent. Parte of
nenees, la many inatenou single noma, were
counted u honsee. For butene*, at th* office
of Leek A Lyle,* Constitution reporter wee
” bis story:
i furnished a rent list to th* oorrwpoa-
dent of e Macou paper. On It were many
single rooms, every on* ef which the corre
spondent counted u a house. In a mjertiy of
Instances, the owner of a honso which ha de
ltas to rent will place it on the llata of all tha
real estate dealers at the urn* time. Thru-
fonrtbe of the hones* now for rent in Atlanta
will ho found upon tha list* of all the promi
nent real estate agents. The eorraepoudent of
the Macon paper counted the same houses as
many aa half a dozen times.”
‘ How many house* in Atlanta are for rent? 11
"Good, bad and indlflercnt there are not
800.’’
"How many doalrable residence) are for
rent?”
"Beginning with four-room houree and as
cending tho acale, there are not two hundred
and fifty.”
"How many vacant residences are there In
the city? ’
"There are not sixty.
At Samuel W. Goode’s office, tho reporter
heard a similar story. Mr, Anderson Howard
•aid:
“There are not two hundred and fifty da
•table residences In Atlanta for rent. Tho
itories that havo been published abont the
number of bouse* for rent In Atlanta are
abenrd.”
In tho language of another real catato
agent:
“Misrepresentation Is a mighty poor game."
QUESTIONS OF CONSTITUTIONALITY,
Different Opinions Ooneernlng the Local
Option Act.
The Interest In the constitutionality of tho
local option act contlnnu unabated. It la be
lieved by some that tho tost case under tho
domettlc wlno clause will canes the entire act
to bo declared unconstitutional. Others be
lieve that only that special clauso will bo de
clared unconstitutional. Others, and they are
by no meana few in numbor, believe that the
entire act will be declared to be In strict con
formity with tho constitution.
It la agreed that the two loading questions of
constitutionality presented by the act are:
First, does It not interfere with tho vested
rights of tho Atlanta City Brewing company
ann wonln not preventing that company
from doing bneineea bo unconstitutional, and,
therefore, render the act null and void?
Second. If tho domestic wine claueo means
Georgia wince, does not tho act attempt to
regulate Interstate commerco, and le It not,
therefore, unconstitutional r
Neither of theeo questions has aver bean
finally decided. The derisions affecting them
do not ehed mnch light upon them, althongh
it Is claimed that tho weight of tho decisions
