At 7 o’clock the decks were cleared, and the supreme moment came.

Amin that thrilling cry of victory nut through the stately halls. At 7:10 o'clock votes sufficient to Wes the measure had been recorded. A storm of enthusiasm swept the cap lin halls. At 7:63 o'clock the battle *«i ended. Prohibition was an accom plished fact by the overwhelming ma jority of 133 to 39. All the cheering and enthusiasm that btd gone before was as the soft mur mur of a brook to the thundorous 9*»l of a great cataract when Repre sentative Massengale, of Warren, hur tled out with the completed vote. “To the Grady monument,” shouted I-D. Upshaw. The cry was caught up, and In a brief •tae the marching line was formed, *lth Sirs. Mary Harris Armor, her .face tadlant with victory, at tile head of the column. As the crowd reached the open the great bell of the Second Bap- 'l»t church pealed out In triumph. It *** caught up by the Central Presby- wian, and, as If In echoing Joy. scores w other church bells boomed out on ■he night air their messages of victory. Bore Wright Triumphant. Seaborn Wright, the great prohibi tion leader, was caught up, protesting, ?n sturdy shoulders and born through Hunter to Whitehall to Marietta and [he Grady monument. And to tinkling "'Us. blowing torns, shouting voices ‘id wavhig handkerchiefs, the 2.000 vomrn and men marched. Reaching [he monument, the crowd massed about “• D. Upshaw took churge of the meeting.

Knight, leader of the measure In the senate. "It Is a grand day in Georgia, and to the good mothers Is due the credit." W. D. Upshaw was probably the happiest man in Georgia. He glowed with It, and It burned In his speech. "I'd rather be here tonight than be In heaven,” he declared. "I want to propose three cheers for F. L. Seely, the bravest owner of a newspaper on the American continent," he said. "Also for John Temple Graves, the most beautiful writer, and to all the boys of The Georgian who did such valiant service In this fight." The cheers were given with a will. Some one proposed a visit to The Georgian office, and re-forming In marching order, the great crowd moved Into Alabama' street and massed in front of The Georgian office. "Seely! Seelyl Graves! Graves!" shouted the crowd. Mr. Seely spoke briefly from a sec ond-story window. He was cheered again and again. Throughout the re markable demonstration no disorder or adverse criticism was heard until this time. . , . . .. Across the street the windows of the building occupied by a newspaper neighbor of The Georgian were lined with faces. From a fifth-story win dow, as the crowd stood massed In the street below, a strident voice shouted: "Rotten! Rotten!" But no one In that great crowd paid the slightest heed to the Ill-mannered call of the sore-head. When the crowd was Informed that Mr. Graves was at his home. In College Park, some one shouted: "Let's go out there and let him know how we feel about It." W D. Upshaw, leaning out of The Georgian window, explained that Mr. Graves was engaged in a meeting at his home, In College Park, and was un able to be present. But many of the throng were determined to see him, and started for the suburb. Two cars, laden to the platforms, soon took a part of the crowd to Col lege Park. .Mr. Graves wan presiding over a town meeting at his home and discussing better government for Col lege Park, when he was surprised by the visitors, who covered the lawn and cheered the editor of The Georgian. Mr. Graves was called upon for an address, and made a brief talk of congratulation to the crowd. After the visit to the governor's man sion, the throng dispersed, NEGRO VOTE MUST STOP SAYS SENATE LA W DRIVES INTOXICANTS OF EVER YKIND FROM ST A TE IN 5 MONTHS FROM TOD A Y Absolute prohibition In the state of Georgia after midnight of De cember 31, 1307, Is the meaning of the Hardman senate prohibition bill, which passed the house Tuesday evening by the overwhelming vote of 119 to 39. The measure absolutely and without equivocation wipes the liquor traffic from the coniines of the state In every shape and form, and on and after January 1. 1908, not a drop of alcoholic, spirituous, malt or In toxicating liquors or Intoxicating bitters, with the exception of wood or denatured alcohol and alcohol sold by druggists upon physicians' pre scriptions, can be bought, sold, given away or kept on hand in any place of business In this state. The only provision which Is made In the bill for the sale of any fluid which, If taken to excess, will produce Intoxication, Is what Is known as the "doctors’ amendment," which was adopted by the house Tuesday. This amendment provides that licensed druggists may sell and furnish pure alcohol only upon prescriptions of physicians. But before any physician can give such prescription he must make an actual examina tion of the patient tor whom It Is Intended and shall certify In writing that the amount of alcohol prescribed Is necessary In the alleviation or cure of Illness from which the patient Is suffering. In addition to this restriction upon the physician, the druggist filling the prescription Is required by law to file the prescription with the ordi nary of the county. The prescription must be kept on record by the ordi nary and may at any tlmo be used as evidence In any prosecution for violation of any of the provisions of the bill. For the convenience of the retail druggist the house also adopted an amendment which provides that wholesale dealers In alcohol may furnish the same to regular licensed retail druggists, hospitals or to medical or pharmaceutical colleges In this Btate. But at the same time wholesale druggists are required td keep a rec ord of their sules, which may be Inspected at any and all times by the proper authorities. In accordance with a motion adopted by the house Immediately after the passage of the bill Tuesday evening, It will be transferred to the sen ate at once for concurrence in the measure as amended by the house. The Immediate concurrence of the upper house In the amended bill Is anticipated, as the amendments adopted were approved by the leaders of the prohibition movement In the senate and were voted upon with the knowledge that they would create no division Of sentiment among Its supporters In that branch of the general assembly. As soon as the bill Is ratified by the senate It will be signed by Governor Smith and the last official act making It a law will be consum mated. Upon several different occasions, both publicly and privately. Governor Smith has declared that he will sign the prohibition bill, and the sale of Intoxicants will stop In exactly live months. The funeral services of Luclle Mil ler, tho Infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mlllor. who died Mondny afternoon at tho family residence, 83 Neal street, were conducted Tuesday afternoon.
