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. Macon, Ga. 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. The principal cities in Mississippi (Mississippi has no large cities, you know) where liquor lins been sold con- TO ADDRESS BIG Author of Temperance Bill To Speak, In MUcon Sunday. Special to Tho Georgina. Macon, Ga., July 27.—The prohlbl tlonluts of Macon and Bibb county will hold a big rally In the city auditorium next Sunday afternoon, and Judge Covington, one of the authors of the prohibition bill, will be on hand to make an address. The Interest in this great question will cause a large crowd to assemble at the city auditorium on Sunday afternoon. Judge Covington will bo Introduced by President T. D. Ellis, of the Bibb County Anti-Saloon Ecague. 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 derman Illrsch und Councllmen Har man and Mangum.

O 0 O P0000000000OO0000O0O000000 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.
