LETTERS COMMENDING
THE GEORGIAN’S STAND
C0RRECT8 SOME ERRORS.
> the Editor of The Georgian:
The following appeared In Friday's
Atlanta Journal under the head of
"Caught On the Fly by Ralph Smith:”
'"The Texas antl-Jug law, In my hum-
e Judgment, furnishes a solution of
•he whisky problem,' said a prominent
tnember of the house yesterday, dis
using the prohibition question with
blends In the lobby of the
Jumbal], He expressed the belief that
“Wrgla should have a law modeled
"i't the Texas measure.
The shipment of whisky Into dry
aunties of the state has been sup-
l >y the operation of the antl-
... taw, and local option Is proving a
, success, 1 he continued.
. Texas law requires the express
jempanlea handling C. O. D. packages
“Pay a license tax of 15,000 for every
“SPhcy in the state where such pack-
ar f bandied. None of the com-
wl,s have paid the prohibitive tax,

and the shipment of whisky Into dry
counties has practically ceased,
nearly all of it goes C. O. D."
We wonder how came Ralph Smith
to publish the above. Perhaps ho
thought It a good Joke on the legisla
ture to show how silly one of their
number could talk. Almost any ten-
year-old boy knows that no one would
dare ship any C. O. D. packages of
whisky in this state, for In so doing
the express agent would lay himself
liable to prosecution for delivering and
receiving pay for whisky, such action
constituting a sale under the laws of
the state ot Georgia.
This "prominent member" qjther
knows mighty little of what he Is talk
ing about or has a mighty poor opinion
of the Intelligence of the good people
of Georgia to think they would be sat
isfied with such a measure ns ho pro-
poses.
Of course such a law as this would
suit the saloon keepers of Atlanta, Au
gusta, Savannah and other cities. Just
as the local option delusion suits them,
as they never ship whisky C. O. D.,
anyway; but nothing less than a
straight prohibition bill is going to suit
the large majority of the people of
Georgia.
Barkeepers In W2t counties ere ship
ping thousands of dollars’ worth of li
quor Into every dry county In this state
under this "dearly beloved" (by the li
quor men) local option law, and If this
"prominent member’s’ proposed bill
should pass In lieu of prohibition, it
would not change the state o.. affaire
one bit, as the money Is always sent In
advance, and the whisky shipped direct
to tho party ordering It.
It seems that the people of Georgia
have allowed themselves to be deceived
so long by the cry' of local option that
our friends, the enemy, think that any
eld makeshift of a bill would .a .fy

against the power behind the liquor

Georgia.
And to The Georgian we would say
go on with your fight, and If you win,

The free pas* question, the freight

the various other reforms advocated by
Governor Smith, while very Important,
are Insignificant os compared with the
liquor question. High freight rates
never caused a mnn to come home Into

dren. Free passes have never caused
a man to tako the life of his fellow
man or give Its victim delirium tre
mens. Lobbying hus never caused a
man to go In rags while his wife nnd
children begged bread. But whisky Is
doing It all every day and more be

FROM REPRESENTATIVE NEEL,
Mr. F. L. Seely, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir:—Accept my grateful
thanke and cordial congratulations on
your bold, brave editorial of Saturday
In favor of state prohibition. Such
things strengthen the hands and glad
den the hearts of those who are stand
Ing on the firing line in .the legislature,
Cordially,

Mr. P. L. Seely, Publisher The Geor
glan.
Dear Sir:—Thanks for the stand you
have taken on the prohibition ques
tlon. If the loss of revenue In conse
quence of the cloelng of the bar rooms
causes a higher tax pate, I am ready to
pay mine. Very respectfully,
C. L. DEAN,
Atlanta, Ga.
A DUTY AND A PLEASURE.
Hon. L. Seely.
My Dear Sir:—I feel that It Is not
only a pleasure but a duty to thank
you and express my sincere apprecla
tlon of tho noble stand you have ta
ken In behalf of our women and chll
dren, and for God and the right.
The Christian people—the good peo
ple of this state—will sustain you and
you will see The Georgian "bloom and
blossom as the rose,” carrying Its light
Into now darkened homes, until It shall
cover Georgia, and Its beneficent influ
ences will be felt long after we have
paesed off the stago ot action. God
will uphold and sustain you In your
noble effort to rid our state from the
blighting curse of this hydra-headed
monster. Intemperance, which has held
sway over this fair land of ours for jo
long, this two-edged sword, which has
cut down and cast Its countless thou
sands Into premature graves, and sent
their souls Into perdition. Any eeem-
Ing sacrifice which you may now have
to make will be as ‘‘bread cast upon
the waters,” to return In the future
bringing Its marvelous Increase.
Mve sufficient faith In the man
hood of Georglg to believe that they
will abundantly sustain you.
1 think It would be nothing but right
and Just that you publish the names of
hose eminent Christian gentlemen (?)
vho ordered their ads. taken out of
The Georgian that we may know whom
to trade with or whom to patronize.
Again thanking you In behalf of our
women apd children and suffering hu
manity for the bold, brave, and noble
stand you have taken for the common
good, and assuring you ot my earnest
support and praying God's richest
blessing upon you aud your paper, I
am. Yours In the cause,
A. M. WALKER.

'RATE LITIGATION
DISGRACE TO STATE 1
Montgomery. Ala, July 9.—In hi*
message to tho Alabama-legislature,
which convened this morning to finish
an adjourned session, Governor Comer
laid particular stress on the action,the
slate should take In ruling the rail
roads and commended the solona on the
work done in the winter session along
these lines. He stated that the action
of the Alabama roads In' resisting the
stale laws Is strictly against proylslons
of the Fourteenth amendment to tho
constitution of the United States. He
spoke of the litigation In which the
state Is now Involved as a disgrace,
lie stated that he thought the fran
chise tax law had been badly miscon
strued, and, although It was a bad prec.
edent to repeal an act, that he would
hot oppose repealing the clq\iso on
franchise chdrges on foreign iruiney
lenders, should such an action be taken.
A suggestion Is made to tho loglsla-.
lure that biennial sessions of the law
makers be arranged, as four years Is
too long to draft between the sessions.
Because at the winter session appro
priations for the expenditure of $1,160.-
000 annually for four years was made,
Governor Comer cautioned the legisla
tor* to be careful with future appro
priations.
At the winter session a slate depos
itory law was passed and now the gov
ernor suggests that the $2,000,000,
which Is deposited there be loaned to
the banks on good security, and he asks
that the law be amended*lo make this
possible. He also suggests that all
freight trains be stopped on Sunday.
