the certain development of Broad

for high-class trade and will bring
about great enhancement in values, be
sides relieving the retail congestion in
Whitehall and Peachtree streets.

the present big terminal freight build
ings \ new street, tn he known as
Produce row, is to Im cut between the
tracks and Hunter street, and the new
structure Will face on this street. with
its rear on the tracks. Every merchant
will have his own trackage nt the rear
of hi* st oh and the coat <»f drayage will
be eliminated. The stores will be of
concrete, so they can be flushed out
with a hose very day. and the business
houses should be mu< h cleaner than
the brick and wooden structures, with
basements, now in use. *
Among the dealers who are said to
have signed contracts for new quarters
are McCullough Bros.. Sulinis Fruit

of the older structures will be remod

SEARCHINGSIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
In making prohibition frankly the
paramount issue of the present cam
paign, Hooper Alexander If taking a
long < hance. *o far a* the cau*e of pro
hibition is r cnncerned.
This may he a sign of great political
< -ourage or a hign of great political
foolhardiness. a* one care* to view* it.
It will be argued by some that Mr.
Alexander can not lose any more by
making prohibition the primary cause
of war, no matter how the battle goer*;
Iha I lie would lose if he Nought to be
little it. ’Therefore, sonif people hold,
that ir is good polities on the part of
Mr. Alexander to view with alarm and
‘holier’’ prohibition with as much dis
trict* in his voi'-e as he can muster.
There are prohibitionist*. however,
who think that the gentleman from
lb Kalb is about to play the deuce and
Tom Walker with the cause of prohibi
tion. and they argue this way.
Mr. Alexander will raise the issues
of lawlessness, anarchy, debauchery,
corruption and blind tlgerlsm through
out Georgia, with such vociferous as
sistance as he can obtain he will em
phasize the crying necessity for- more
statutory prohibition and better prohi
bition as It never has been emphasized
before the people directly before—and
when the vote counting time ponies,
he will receive a handful of votes only’,
comparatively speaking.
Many ardent prohibitionists hold that
this will leave their cause in worse
shape than it ever has been in Geor
gia and they ate saying that they are
being called upon to sacrifice much on
the altar of Mr. Alexander's doubtful
ambit ion.
If a scattering vote throughout Geor
gia is to i>e the answer to Mr. Alex
ander's vehement appeal for more pro
hibition, where does the cause of pro
hibition get off?
It may ire that Mr. Alexander can
beat Mr Slaton -but not one man in
ten believes it.

THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS- SATCKOAY. AUGUST 10, Iyiz.
Nash R. Broyles, recorder of (he po
lice court of Atlanta and candidate for
a seat on the court of appeals, talks
interestingly of the suggestion recent
ly advanced that he is candidate of
the prohibitionists,’’ and that there Is
objection to him in south Georgia be
cause "he hails from Atlanta, where
one of the present judges of the court
of appeals lives.’’
Mr. Broy lps sh ys.
"I am ‘toting my own skillet.' 1 am
not running on a prohibition platform,
for- then- are other questions in Geor
gia as important as the prohibition
question.
I stand in my race for the enforce
ment of ail of our laws, which, of
rours* . Include., t ii< prohibition law,
and for th* abolishment of the old
moss grown technicalities which hin
der. impede and defeat justice in our
court s
"The only argument for not electing
trie is that one Atlanta man already
is on the court. I submit to the peo
ple of Georgia that this reason Is not
a sound one. If 1 am elected. I shall
tepresent on the court of appeals, not
Atlanta, but Georgia.
“I submit th.it ’he only fair, sound
question in this contest is. not whether
an Atlanta man or a Blakely man
should be elected, but of the two can
didates. which one is the better qual
ified to serve the people’ of Georgia on
the court of appeals?”
John M. Slaton asks unanimous
consent of the legislature yearly
to do one thing only—give a bar
becue. And never yet has the leg
islature denied him his request.
