Prohibition Is Prohibiting
Here la some meat for that class of knockers who 'are constantly
saying that prohibition does not prohibit In Atlanta.
Under every consideration one would expect violators of the law In
Illegally’selling Intoxicants to be largely In the majority this year over
last, when liquor could be legally sold here. But the official report from
Chief of Police Jennings does not say so.
For the first six months of 1907 there were 87 cases made against
parties for selling whisky without a license. For the first six months of
1908. with the prohibition law In effect and larger Incentive for law
breakers to commit violations, the record la only 89 cases.
Unless one advances and upholds the argument that the police are
not exercising accustomed vigilance In apprehending the bllnd-tlger op
erators, this forms a very powerful argument for the effectiveness and
good of the prohibition act Chief Jennings says the department Is using
unusual vigilance la the endeavor to eradicate these offenders.
Frequent Interviews appear In papers over the country, purporting
to come from parties from this atate, and carrying usually the clear-cut
statement that liquor-selling la going on In Georgia- practically without
effort on the part of the law to atop It. So far as Atlanta Is concerned,
the statement from Chief Jennings controverts that very successfully.
Such Interviews usually emanate, too, from those who ardently desire
the failure of the prohibition law.
And we are not prepared to believe as a general proposition that
other communities are lese law-abiding than Atlanta. There are un
doubtedly Infractions of the law. But there are also violations of the
statutes against larceny, arson, forgery and murder.
The Fifth Regiment in Camp
In khakl-clad array the gallant Fifth regiment moved on Chlckamau-

It Is at once play and work for the men composing this .fine regi
ment of the national guard. For many of those both In the line and in
the rank this encampment will form the only outing for the summer.
It will be fun, for those In the organization are there because they like it
Even out of work the enthusiast gets his fun. In the maneuvers
and the discipline to be had at Chlckamnuga for the next ten days much
profit Is certain to accrue to all attending. The regular habits, the
steady and regular work and the wholesome food out In the open
should send every man home as fit as a fiddle.
The Georgian will carry dally news of the work of Georgia boys
while at camp, and their friends may keep Informed as to Just what la

The Editor and the Public.
Every man In every town during a
course of a lifetime has to ask a favor
of an editor. A man may escape a doc
tor, keep clear of the court, but once
In a lifetime he has to have a certain
piece put In a newspaper—a marriage
notice or a death notice, or a notice to
have his name omitted from a certain
Item. It Is, therefore, advantageous to
treat the editor fairly. Do not think
you are Immune: your time will come,
and It will be a fine Investment If you
have a friend In the editor.—Maysvllle

It le mighty fine advice, but people
The Atlanta Georglan'e articles on
the convict lease system and the loss
which the state of Georgia sustains by
reason of It Is about the most remark
able serial story that th epeople of the
atate have read In many a day. Ac
cording to the figures given by The
Georgian, the leasing of the convicts
does not appeal to the business sense
of the plain people of the state and as
Us moral attractions are not evident; It
will be done away with.—Waycross
Journal.
The Citizen Is' In thorough accord
with the program of The Atlanta
Georgian a* to the convict lease sys
tem. Th* more publicity given to our
present system the worse It shows up
for the ’ state. If the legislature can
do no more at this session. It certainly
can stop the nefarious business of the
convict broker, who hires from the
state at a very low price and then sub.
hires them out at a great profit. There
can be found very little excuse for such
slave-trading. It Is repulsive to right
thinking people. The Citizen In no
wise wants to be understood as con
doning the crimes and misdemeanors
of convicts. It believes there to be a
better and more humane way to handle
the unfortunates who go wrong than
now employed. It believes the convict
should be released a better man than
when donning the stripes. Else why
should he ever be turned loose on so
ciety to menace and harass after once
he le caught and convicted?
The present system tends to brutal
ize the convict. He haa no Incentive to
forgive or forget. He Is a chattel—a
slave—and he feels It and knows It.
Why not work him on the public roads
end public works? His work then
would show for something. It would
benefit the messes In a greater degree
than at present. Even the convict
would then take pride In his work.
In this connection, we desire to call
attention to a resolution by the Whit
field County Farmers' Union, printed
elsewhere In this Issue, asking the leg
islature to take the necessary steps to
put the misdemeanor convicts on the
public roads. This Is exactly In line
with the policy advocated by this pa
per for years, and we desire to con
gratulate the Farmers' Union on the
patriotic stand thus taken, and to as
sure It that we stand ready to co
operate with It In furtherance of this
broad policy.—Dalton Citizen.
The Atlanta Georgian has taken up
the fight against the convict broker
In Georgia and la pouring some hot
ahot Into him. The News took the
same position, as The Georgian a long
time ago, and we are glad to see this
great paper making war upon these
people. If any one has to profit by the
convicts, let It all come to the state.—
Adel News.
The Atlanta Georgian is to be com
mended for Its efforts In behalf of re
form In the state’s convict lease sys
tem. We are with It good and strong.
—Dalton Citizen.
The Atlanta Georgian Investigation
concerning the convict lease system has
brought to light some startling facts.
It has developed that one convict bro
ker firm has cleared nearly 2625,000 on
500 convicts In five years. The state
received only 2625.000 for the hire of
these criminals.
The Georgian did not. however, be
gin the Investigation until Everybody's
Magazine reproduced a ringing article
some few months ago. The lease sys
tem has some evil effects and It Is time
some disclosures were made concern
ing the doings of the prison commis
sion.—Thomaaton Times.
It Is a fortunate thing all the way
round that a great paper like The Geor
gian has token up a fight against the
convict lease system.—Rome Tribune-
Herald.
Joe Sid Turner told The Georgian
that there was no authority higher than
the prison commission. Oh, yes. there
Is, Joe, and some day soon you will find
it out.—Rome Tribune-Herald.
Possibly the prison commission was
right In refusing to allow to Colonel
Seely the privilege of personally in
specting the convict camps; but our
opinion Is that they waked up a far
closer Inspection than he would have
given them. A little prodding In the
public prints about a refusal Is calcu
lated to make people think something Is
dead up the branch.—Marietta News.
Don't blame the convict broker who
made money by buying and selling
them: but blame the commission which
allowed this trads to go on for five
years without stopping It.—Marietta
News. i
The convict brokers are as busy as
the brewers. They all have business
before the legislature, and It Is safe to
guess they have friends about the capi.
tel. By the way, what has become of
the anti-lobby bill7—Fitzgerald Enter,
prise.
Editor Seely has run up the black
flag In his war on the convict lease
system. There Is but one way to fight
the system In which there Is so much
money.—Fitzgerald Enterprise.

Dog Soap Worked
On Bald Head.
H E had always been conspicuous for
a shining bald spot on the top of
his head. All around that spot
was a luxuriant growth bf hair and the
shiny spot looked like a desert in a
tropical Jungle.
As he frequently did at times,
strolled Into the office of Captain John
Monaghan In the court house. The
captain kne'w him well and he also
knew that bald spot. Being a man
with unusual powers of observation.
Captain Monaghan looked Immediately
for the bald spot. He looked again
and then looked. While evidences of
the bald spot could be faintly seen,
there was no doubt but that the bald
spot was disappearing.
Such close scrutiny was embarrass
ing to the captain's visitor and he put
on his hat and looked annoyed. Then
he spoke.
“See here, John," he said. "I’ll tell
you about this thing before you ask me.
Everybody else Is asking me and I have
got so now that I keep my bat on near
ly all the time. You know my wife
has a dog of which she thinks a heap
and the animal got the mange not long
ago and before long he looked like one
of these hairless Jap dogs you read
about. My wife consulted dog doctors
and books until finally the dog lost that
hairless appearance.
"I found out that she had bought
some dog mange soap that had. done
the work and then she Insisted trying It
on my bald spot. I’m willing to stand
for most anything, but I kicked on hav
ing mange soap put on my head. My
kicking aid no good and my *wlfe had
her way. And the worst part of It Is
that the confounded stuff Is doing the
work. Now you know why 1 don’t like
to explain about that bald spot.”
"What did you say the name of ths
soap was?" asked the captain, but his
friend wouldn't let him experiment.

A well known young married couple
In Atlanta have been having all sorts
of trouble about cooks. They would
come and they would go and there was
never any assurance that the family
meals would be cooked. The custom
of finding cook gone and getting " a
meal with the aid of the corner grocery
and a can opener became monotonous.
Then the young wife hit upon a bril
liant Idea.
She had been hearing about the
young colored women'some of the uni
versities for negroes around Atlanta
had been graduating and she had heard,
too, that some of these were experts In
tha study of domestic science.
"Why not get a scientific cook?” she
asked her husband, "and she will also
know the beauty of keeping things
clean."
The young husband thought It was
the best schema he had ever heard and
he called up a prominent colored
preacher on the 'phone and asked him
to send out just such a graduate.
In a few days the front door bell rang
and th* young wife was confronted
with a young colored woman stylishly
attired and wearing eye glasses from
which a gold chain dangled. She stated
why ihe came but the young wife
could hardly realize that this person so
stylishly attired was a eook. Tha In
terview was soon over. - ••'•-.
"I am bo aorry," sweetly purred the
graduate cook, "that 1 won’t be able to
come. You have such a charming little
villa that I know I should be delighted,
but It Is. quite too far from my home,
you know."
The next day the young husband
telegraphed to a friend of his In the
country to ship him an old-fashioned
cook who had been raised In the
backwoods. P. E. W.
