THE GEORGIAN'S NEWS BRIEFS
ATLANTA LOCKED
CLUBS TO CLOSE
Mayor Woodward’s Plea for a
“Dry” Christmas Is To Be
Granted.
Mayor Woodward's proclamation
for a sane celebration of Christmas
will make it one of the "dryest” days
of the year, according to all indica
tions Tuesday. Those wh« want to
celebrate to excess will have to gob
ble rather than guzzle, as Elbert Hub-
hard would say, for Mayor Wood
ward’s Instructions about the sale of
intoxicating drinks will be pretty
closely followed.
The “near-beer” saloons have to
close by his order, and the purely
locker clubs are now skating on such
thin ice politically that mo9t of them
have decided not to ignore a request
from the Chief Executive of the city.
Some of them have engagements to
face Recorder Broyles on charges of
violating the prohibition law. The
police claim that their cases are so
strong the Recorder is certain to lay
tines on them in keeping with the
generous spirit of the season.
The new Police Committee Mayor
Woodward is to appoint will pass in a
few weeks on the merits of the appli
cations of these organizations for a
renewal of licenses. Much depends
on the temper of this Police Commit
tee as to whether some of the clubs
shall be allowed to continue in busi
ness.
Forced to run such a gamut, most
of these clubs are advising their
members to get their packages on
Christmas Eve, as they probably will
close their doors on Christmas Day.
The formal decisions will be made by
officers of the clubs Tuesday.
The social clubs of the city will
serve eggnog and have special Christ
mas dinners, as usual.

WANTS OFFICE ABOLISHED.
Adjutant General Joseph Van Holt
Nash has recommended to Governor
Slaton that the office of Quartermas
ter General of State Troops, now. held
by Brigadier General William G.
Obear, be abolished and that his sal
ary be discontinued after January 1.
The Governor has taken no action
upon the recommendations of General
Nash, but has the matter under se
rious consideration.
While this matter is not acknowl
edged to have any hearing upon the
known differences existing inside the
State military establishment, in which
General Obear has figured prominent
ly, the fact of General Nash’s rather
sensational recommendations to the
Governor will be read with acute in
terest by the military generally, as
an open rupture between Nash and
Obear has been anticipated by many
observers on the inside for some time.
