To the Editor of The Georgian:
I am inclosing communication Just
received from my friend, Hon. B. T.
Hobbs, editor of The Leader at Brook-
haven, Miss., and secretary of the state
prohibition executive committee of
Mississippi. It Is being sent you Just
as received and will be found to con
tain an elaboration of the facts set
forth In my recent letter to you.
Please note especially that Galloway
and other temperance leaders have not
only committed themselves to statu
tory, but constitutional prohibition as
well. It might be well to emphasize
the fact that Mississippi has put a
very effective quietus on Interstate
Jug traffic by Imposing a tax of J5,000
on every express office handling aucli
C. O. D. business.
I was very much pleased with your
splendid leading editorial presenting
such telling facts in such a terso,
cogent and effective manner. The In
closed data will give you material for
another equally as strong.
With high respect, I remain,
Yours cordially,
E. L. MARTIN.

Editor Hobbs’ Letter.
Professpr E. L. Martin, Macon, Ga.
Dear Ed: Your letter of 12th Inst,
received this afternoon, and I hasten
to reply, as requested.
First, I want to say that the Missis
sippi state prohibition executive com
mittee held a meeting in Jackson on
July 9, and, after a' full and free con
ference of the committee and other
lenders of the movement who had been
Invited to the conference, adopted the
resolutions or plan for the future out
lined In the inclosed clipping.
Bishop Galloway and Judge Brown,
both of whom have hitherto contended
for sticking to local option, and have
never before given their hearty allegi
ance to a movement for state-wide pro
hibition. took the lead at this meeting
In favor of both statutory and consti
tutional prohibition, Judge Brown in
troducing the resolutions, and the
action of the meeting was absolutely
unanimous In favor of the policy out
lined, the bishop declaring, he woutd
give It his hearty allegiance and sup
port until the legislature gives us what
wo want.
The Baptist state convention at
Hazlehurst tomorrow, representing
120,000 Mlsslstppl Baptists, will adopt
a report Indorsing the state prohibition
committee's action, and both Missis
sippi Methodist conferences may bo de
pended upon to do likewise when they
meet next December, and we are confi
dent of bringing such moral pressure
to bear on tho legislature when tt meets
that there is scarcely a doubt about It
giving us wbat we ask for, though, of
course we expect th liquor men to
make a fight.
So much for what Mississippi pro
hibitionists are doing and propose to
do. I have very few statistics at my
Angers' ends to furnish you, but will
give you some Important general facts
which challenge successful contradic
tion.
Of the seventy-seven counties in
Mississippi only seven of this number
remain In tho liquor column—Tunica
and Washington, two Delta counties;
Warren and Adams, two hill counties,
lying on the Mississippi, and Hancock
Harrison and Jackson, lying along the
gulf coast. Madison, the last Interior
license county, voted against saloons
in April, and when present licenses ex
pire there will not be a saloon any
where on the main line of the Illinois
Central railroad from the Tennessee to
the Louisiana line. For years there
has not been a saloon on the A. & V.
Railroad from the Alabama line to
Vicksburg, across the state, or on the
Southern railroad from the Alabama
line to Washington county on the Mis
sissippi river.

ENGLAND LAUNCHES
MONSTER MAN-OF-WAR
Portsmouth, England, July 27;—The
y n n°uoi.ryTndiV^he?Sn”.'syYtcmTri battleship Bellerophon. of nearly 1.000
Greenville, Vicksburg, Natchez, Gulf
port, Biloxi and Canton. Tho principal
g rohtbltion cities, where po saloons
ave been licensed In many years, are
Jackson, Meridian. Columbus, Tupelo,
West Point, Aberdeen. Oxford, Holly
Springs, Grenada, Winona, Greenwood,
Yatoo City, McCqmb City, Brook-
haven, Hattiesburg and Laurel.
With the exception of Gulfport,
whose growth Is duo to tho now har
bor and Its prospects of becoming a
great shipping point. Investigation nnd
statistics would show thnt none of the
license cities have grown and pros
pered during the last ten years In equal
proportion to the prohibition cities.
Jackson has grown from 7,600 to 32.000,
Meridian from 12,000 or 15,000 to 30,000,
to 35,000, Hattiesburg from 3,000 to
22,0, population, etc.
Canton, since the saloons were voted
out, only a few months past, Is get
ting a new depot on a larger scale,
getting rondy to put In -a sewerage
system, new buildings are going up In
nil directions and there are other
evidences that the town Is going to take
on new growth.
Mississippi has effectually knocked
out the C. O. D. express traffic by tax
ing express companies 35,000 for every
office In the state where such pack
ages are delivered.
I hope these hastily penned Items
may prove acceptable. Use them In
whatever form your Judgment suggests,
and send mo a good Ocorgla paper oc
casionally while the light Is on, so
can keep up with It.

COUNCIL MEETS,
COUNCIL TALKS,
THEMDJOURNS
But Pump Question Must
Wait Until the Fifth
of August. •
In
It took council nearly five hours Frl
day afternoon to reach the conclusion
that no conclusion should be reached
on the pump question until a week
from next Monday.
Prior to the dlschsston of the ques
lion, council adopted a resolution call
ing for 1 the appointment of a commit
tee to confer with the county board
regard to the completion of the new
reservoir.
About three months have passed
since the bids for the pumps were
opened, nnd these three months have
been devoted, to the discussion of the
relative merits of the centrifugal and
the vertical pumps. Every detail wns
gone Into; open sessions were held and
secret sessions were held: the water
board discussed It; the special council
committee discussed It; the Joint com
mittee and the sub-committee of the
Joint committee—all took a turn
solving the riddle.
An expert was twice brought here
all the way frdm Peoria, 111, and he
became one knot In tho tangle.
“Is Pump Ngeded? Yes!"
After all this wrangling over what
pump should be bought, nnd how quick
It could be Installed, It was only Frl
day in council that the question was
raised as to whether a pump was
needed. Not a single member of coun
cil could answer the query and the
distress signal went up. Engineer
Collier was called upon and ho said
the pump was urgently needed.
Alderman Qullllan, mayor pro tern,
left the chair and spoke In favor of
the centrifugal pump, and In defense of
his votes In the Joint committee. He
charged the morning paper with ere
atlng n false Impression by not ro
porting the committee meetings fully,
and praised the two afternoon papers
for their fair accounts.
Alderman Key Insisted that council
should not he run by the newspapers
and the pump sellers. Councilman
Pomeroy and Councilman Terrell
favored the centrifugal pump.
Present Rival Claims.
Attorney Reuben Arnold spoke
behalf of the Holly Company, who bid
on the vertical pump, and Colonel
Clifford L. Anderson on behalf of the
Southern Hydraulic and Engineering
Company, which bid on the centrifugal.
George F. Hurt, of the latter company,
also spoke.
After extensive discussion, council
adjourned until Monday, August 5,
when final action, It Is thought, will be
taken. Because of the financial show
Ing made by tho centrifugal pump
company, and the fact that It can be
completed In half the time of the oth
er, it appears from the expressions on
the floor of council that the centrifugal
pump will be accepted. The only Im
portant objection raised by those op
posed to It, Is that It Is more or loss an
experiment. This Is answered by the
centrifugal pump people by citing their
guarantee, which is, that if the pump
does .not do the work not a cent need
be paid.
Prior to this discussion, Councilman
Longfno offered a resolution calling for
the appointment of a committee and
the engaging of an expert, who will
pass on the wholo waterworks sltua
tlon.
"Wrong With Waterworks."
"The people," he said, “think' some
thing Is wrong with tho waterworks.
They are not satisfied. Well Informed
people say the waterworks * Is well
equipped now.”
Alderman Key said there had been
enough Investigating.
"I notice," he snld, “where the Inves
tlgatlng committee—this last one that
Investigated the Investigating commit
tee thnt Investigated before—has put
the whole blame for the muddy water
on the water main. Why didn’t they
go further and blame It on the Chat
tahoochee. It has been behaving very
badly lately."
Alderman Qullllan In his address
spoke of the reported slippage of 1,900,-
000 gallons of each of the pumps at
the river station and Alderman Key
imggested an Investigation of the slip
page.
The resolution by Councilman Lon-
glno wns still hanging fife when coun
ell adjourned.
Council met for the purpose of con
ferring with tho county board on the
subject of completing the new reser
voir. This wns done before the pump
matter was taken Ihto consideration.
A motion was adopted, calling upon
the mayor pro tem to appoint a com
mittee of three which, with the mayor
end city englaecr, will confer with the
county board with the end In view of
arranging a satisfactory plan for the
completion of the reservoir.
Alderman Qullllan has appointed the
following committee which, with the
mayor and city engineer, will confer
Ith the county board on the subject
' completing the new reservoir; Al

DID CITY OFFICIAL
GIVE ERRONEOUS
Charge Made in Open Coun
cil By Alderman
Quillian.
Did an official of the city of Atlanta
furnish erroneous information to the
expert who came to Atlanta to Invest!
gate and pass upon the relative merits
of the vertical and centrifugal pumps,
one of which Is to be purchased by tbe
city?
The point was made by Mayor Pro
Tem. Qullllan In open session Friday
that the expert so charged In his sec
ond report; and it caused quite a stir
among the members.
"The expert distinctly states," charg
ed Alderman Qullllan, “that he based'
his flrst calculation, which was In favor
of the vertical pump, on Incorrect fig
ures furnished him. The charge of
furnishing erroneous Information - is a
serious one and Is a reflection bn some
city official."
"I certainly did not." Interposed Gen
eral Manager Park Woodward.
"I knew you did not,” responded the
speaker.
I do not believe the statement Is
true," continued the mayor pro tem,
‘but the charge Is a reflection.
"Tho expert says the difference be
tween 310,000 In favor of the verltcal
pump, os estimated In the flrst report,
and 317,000 In favor of the centrifugal
pump, as estimated In the second re
port, was duo to a change In the price
of coal and because of erroneous In
formation furnished him. The figures
show that the only changes made are
on the price of coal and the basts of
calculation. Certainty nobody fur
nlshed him an erroneous basis of cal
culatlon." s
The statement by Alderman Qullllan
may call for a request or demand upon
the expert to name the party whom he
charges with furnishing the erroneous
Information. (
NASHVILLE PARTY
STOP IN ATLANTA
Mr. and Kirs. P. M. Estes and Mr.
and Mrs. E. 8. Shannon, of Nashville,
Tenn., qrrlve.l In Atlanta Saturday
morning and spent several hours here,
en route to the Jamestown Exposition,
From there they will go to Atlantic
City. Mr. Shannon Is secretary and
Mr. Estes ono of the directors of the
Nashville Board of Trade, and they are
as enthusiastic "boosters" of the Ten
nessee capital as ever left Its corporate
limits.* The party were armed with at
tractive literature exploiting the In
finite variety of Ngshvllle's attractions,
a leaflet showing the state capltnl, the
state fair grounds nnd buildings nnd
scenes at the Cumberland river wharf,
all In colors, being especially effective.
Tho Nashvillians were pleased with
their brief stay In Atlanta, but the
metropolitan setting in which they
found themselves did not for a moment
dampen the ardor of their advocacy of
the Tennessee capital as the greatest
city In the South.
