OF BUSS 10 HUE HOT FIGHT Indications Are That Ticket Will Be Put Out in Coming Mu nicipal Election. WAYCROSS, Sept. 6.—Develop ments this week indicate that there is a possibility of the near-beer ad vocates pualng out a ticket in the fall primary. Investigation has shown that the local act, prohibiting the sale of near-beer in Ware County, is void in view of the State law per mitting the sale of near-beer in Georgia. City Council has no-t placed a li cense on tlie sale of near-beer in Waycross since prohibition went into effect, and the general impression has been that the local act made it im possible for any one lo engage in th» near-beer business. But it is claimed now that the sale of near-beer is con- 11 oiled ent In ly by * Council. A petition for a near-beer license will be delivered to Council at the next meeting and it is possible a rea sonable license will be named. In the event Council decides to put what might be considered a prohibitory license on the business, a court fight is predicted. Waycross has been a prohibition city for many years and it has always been conceded that sentiment in the city as well as county is against the sale of whisky and other intoxicants. But in recent years the city has gained several thousand new people, many of them accustomed to getting beer whenever they wanted it. In fact, during the last ten years the population of Waycross has more than doubled, and of the increase it is estimated that over 50 per cent favor a mild form of a “wet town.” It is reported that candidates who are known to favor a reasonable license on near-beer saloons, operated under strict police regulation, will he put in the field in the Second, Fourth and Sixth wards, besides a candidate for Mayor. It is intimated that on of the new men now mentioned as a candidate for Mayor will favor li censing near-beer saloons and that one or two members of Council who will hold over next year are in sym pathy with the movement also.
