AND CHAMBER
Evangelical Association Ex
presses Belief That De
lay Means Fight.
Strong resolutions against the post
ponement ot the Hardman-Covlngton
bill until 1909 were adopted by the
krnngellcat Ministers' Association at
a well-attended meeting Thursday
morning. The resolutions ore In the
nature of a reply to the stand taken
by the bunkers and the directors of
the Chamber "of Commerce.
The Mvangdlca! Association went
Into executive session Immediately aft.
er It was called to order. After a half
hour's discussion a committee was ap
pointed to draft the resolutions, which
were adopted, ns follows:
"Whereas, there’ Is an effort being
made to Influence the general assent
lily to make a compromise of the pend
lng Hardman-Covlngton prohibition
bill by the postponement of the oper
ation of the bill to January, 1999,
therefore be It
Urge a Protest.
"Resolved, That the Kvangellcal Min
isters' Association of Atlunta, repre-
(cntlng inure than sixty white congre
rations'.tnd a constituency, of thirty
thousand people In'the city of Atlanta,
urge 9.protest against It.
"In opposing anil resisting the propo-
Htlon to yield such a compromise, we
call the attention of the members of
the general assembly and all friends
0; prohibition to the following facts:
"1. The proposition originates from
the liquor interest and Is a part of the
•iitl-pornlbHIon scheme of campaign.
“2. It was anticipated by the leaders
of the prohibition bill In the legisla
ture, and discounted In a public state
ment ten days ago. Its real design, so
far as the liquor men are concerned. Is
It delay and to defeat the manifest will
ot the people of Georgia.
Claim la Denied.
"3. Th! claim that the pending bill
will seriously interfere with city lnv
provements, and disarrange financial
budgets, is entirely met by the denial
of tho chairman of the finance commit
tee of the present- city council, and
many other prominent business men In
published statements; by the fact that
the time allowed In the bill for nec
tary readjustments Is quite sufficient;
and by the fact ot which no prohibi
tionist should lose eight that a year's
txtenslor. of the liquor traffic will cost
the people enormously, more In the
amount of money Injuriously wasted
lor whisky, than any losses in public
a venue on account of the liquor tax.
1. The plea that liquor dealers will
•utter an alleged confiscation of prop
erty on account of Insufficient time to
dlipose of their stocks and leases Is
entirely answered by the fact that a
Prohibition law Is not supposed to be
framed for the convenience of those It
Intends to put out of business; also that
the liquor dealers are quite able to
look out for themselves In the time al
lowed them by the pending bill, and
»l»o that they very well understood the
conditions on which: liquor licenses
Were granted to them, and that they
had no right to base calculations or
enter into engagements on licenses
conaldcred as permanent properties.
Went Time to Flflht.
5. We have the strongest reasons for
knowing that the aim and purpose of
Hie liquor men In this proposition to
extend the privilege of another year to
•be liquor traffic Is to give them time
•o prepare for a campaign In 1908 for
Hie 1 epeal of the prohibition law by
the legislature of 1909, and that Instead
Ot arranging 10 go out of the business.
** they plead they will bend every en-
ersy in arranging to bring Influence
*nd money Into Georgia from the enor-
Ifous financial resources of the Na
tional Liquor Dealers' Association in a

gent. moral majorities by a debauched

one mile in six minutes.
Forbids greater speed on country highways than one mile In four
minutes.
Provides that automobiles can not be run on any street or high
way at greater speed than proper for preservation and safety of public.
Act does not In any way effect right of person Injured In person or

sons riding or driving domestic animals.
At a signal from person riding or driving restive domestic animals,

Solid Business Men Adopt
Resolutions Indorsing
Hardman Bill.
The senate passed the Felder auto
mobile bill Thursday morning, after a
sharp debate on certain points and
several amendments which make the
bill more rigorous than as first drafted.
The section requiring the speed of
autos on country roads to be not more
than one mile In three minutes was
amended to make the speed not more
than a mile In four minutes, or fifteen
miles an hour.
One amendment was Introduced pro
viding that every auto driver must stop
when he. meets a vehicle containing a
woman or child. This was once adopt
ed, then reconsidered and lost. Its
passage would have put motor' cars
practically out of business.
The bill was amended to require mo
tor cars to carry headlights which
would project light 500 feet In front of
the car.
Two new sections offered by Senator
Farmer were added as follows:
Soc. 10. On the trial of any suit for
dnnmges for Injuries arising to persons
property from tho use of any auto-
blle m defined by this act, the bur
den of proof shall, when the Injury Is
proven, be upon the defendant to show
that all reasonable care considering tho
surrounding circumstances Vika- been
used to prevent such Injury, ,■■■■
Sec. 11. The owner,'driver and per
son or persons operating or causing to
be operated said automobile shall be
Jointly and severally liable for any In
juries occurring on account of the use
of said automobile contrary to law.
The bill, as amended, was then pass

A. P. Herrington, a well known citizen of At
lanta, says:
“I was living in Dougherty, the ‘helpless’
county, when Atlanta voted dry. This induced me
to move here, coming with fifteen others. Can any
anti name as many leaving them on account of pro
hibition?
“I bought my first piece of Atlanta property
for $2,250. Within one year I sold one-half of it for
2,750, and the other half before two years for $3,-
250, and the party buyingthe first half sold for $3,-
500. The records of Fulton county will show this.
“How does that strike you for depreciation in
prices? At the same time a party paid $7,500 for a
piece of property in Albany, which town has al
ways been wet, and sold it for $3,800. How does that
strike you for appreciation in values in an anti

BANKERS' ACTION
Ask That It Not Be Opera

of 1909.
At a called meeting of the board of
directors of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce Thursday morning, resolu
tlon* were adopted showing that It was
the sentiment of the directors that pro
hibition on short notice Is unwise, and
Indorsing the action of the Atlnnta
Clearing House Association, which
passed resolutions recommending that
the law be made not operative until
January, 1909.
The resolutions were adopted by a
ote of 7 to 1, after on executive ses
sion of about an hour. They follow;
“While this board of directors of the
Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, as a
board, takes no side* on the question
of prohibition, we, however, represent
ing the business nnd commercial Inter
ests of the city, deem It unwise for the
state prohibition bill to become a law
on such short notice, and heartily In
dorse the resolutions adopted by the
Atlanta Clearing House Association, as
follows:
Cut Down Incomt.
Whereas, the propoeed stats pro
hibition bill now pending before the
legislature, will by Its passage, deprive
tho state and the larger etttee of a con
siderable yearly Income, which Income
for the year 1909, In many cases, and
particularly In the coo* of the city of
Atlanta, has been anticipated and the
obligations contracted thereon for the
erection of school house*, engine
house*, waterworks Improvements,
auditorium and armoar and for other
public Improvements; and a withdraw-'
al on January 1, 1908, of the Income de
rived by the state and cities from the
licensed sals of liquor will cause flnsn-
clal complications, and In some In
stances prevent the completion of pub
lic Improvements now under construc
tion;
Therefore, be It resolved, by the
Atlanta Clearing House Association,
That w* request and urg* th* repre-
nntatlves of Fulton county to use their
Influence to have said prohibition bill
so amended as tp become effective Jan
uary'1. 1909, so that during the year
1908 the finance* of the state and the
larger cities can be so adjusted and
rearranged os to meet the changed con
ditions, and those citizens of tho state
