Court Decision Forbids Intrastate Shipments by the Wholesalers of Georgia. — F MONOPOLY ON BUSINESS IS SOUGHT BY FLORIDA Point Raised by Jacksonville Business Men, Who Claim Sole Right to the Trade. Wholesale liquor dealers in Georgia are awaiting anxiously today the of Federal authorities, following a de cision handed down in Jacksonville yesterday by United States Judge John M. Cheney, enjoining tlje Southern Ex press Company from accepting liquor shipments from Georgia dealers con signed to intrastate points. In effect, Judge Cheney’s mandate, which will be appealed from by attor neys for the Southern Express Com pany at a hearing scheduled for tomor row. prohibits wholesale dealers tn Sa-« vannah, AugWsta and other Georgia cities, where they arc said to operate, from doing a shipment business Inside this state. The court held that the consignment of liquor from one point in Georgia to another was Interference—a violation— of the interstate rights of the Florid: * liquor dealers, because the Georgia pro hibition law had declared the sale of liquor in Georgia to be illegal. Means Wiping Out Os Liquor Business in State. The decision, if upheld, means tlja. the so-called wholesale liquor business in Georgia from Georgia cities will be come a thing of the past. In addition, ft will give the hundred odd wholesale liquor hofises, lining block after Moel ln Bay street in Jacksonville, Lee swing at the Georgia business. It is understood that the Georgia liquor houses, which have proceeded cautiously because of the existence of the prohibition law. htU'e made no at tempt to invade the Florida field with , their wares, but were content with Georgia points. Acording to the Southern Express Company attorneys, the bill brought by the Jacksonville dealers seeking to en join tire express company from carry ing Georgia shipments to Georgia points asserted that the Interstate commerce law gave a property right to a monop oly of the Georgia business. Robert C. Alston, general council for'' the Southern Express Company, ex plained the contentions of the Florida dealers, as set forth In their bill, and upheld in part, at least, by Judge Che ney, as follows: Florida Dealers Claim Sole Right to Business. “The Jacksonville liquor dealers claim that the prohibition law of Geor gia, iu effect, creates for them and other, liquor dealers out of the state a. property right to a monopoly of the Georgia territory for the sale of intuxi. eating liquors. “They seek an injunction because they allege this property right is being injured by certain persons in Georgia." Forced to bring their bill on inter state grounds, lb, Jacksonville dealer- ■ fell back on the interstate commerce I law. and maintained that Georgia deal- ■ ers wer. Violating its provisions, be cause the Georgia dealers were poach ino gn pre-empted preserves—points in Georgia Curiousb enough. Judge Cheney held that for a dealer in Savannah to ship a case of whisky to a person in Dublin would be an interference with inter state commerce, and for the Southern Express Company or any common car rier to accept such a shipment would lie a violation of tne interstate law. The Federal jurist issued his injnnv ' tion subject to appeal, and a sup, rse -1 dens wifi be asked in Jacksonville to | morrow . it i„ not unlikely that the | ease will be carried to the United State i supreme court. t FARMERS TO GIVE TURKEY ’CUE FOR BRUNSWICK MEN MACON.
