Special to The Georgian.
Macon, Ga., Oct. 18.—That Macon Is
on the verge of a prohibition election
Is the belief of those conversant with
the political altuatlon. There has been
no little activity shown lately by those
known to be Identified with the prohi
bition movement, and considerable crit
icism has been expressed by these
people of the saloon bualness. This
has partly been brought on by the
steps taken In Atlanta to regulate the
liquor tntfllc, because.of the race dis
turbances there, and the fact that the
council had all the saloons closed. In
Macon during the time an attempt
was made to lynch the negro Pews.
Son.- of the leaders, however, are In
clined to be conservative, .mu it Is
believed that If concessions are made
and the laws governing the conduct of
saloons be made mode stringent, these
leaders will agree to let the saloons
exist.

Blanche Walsh Saturday.
Who Is there that has • not at one
time or another, picked .up n book .with
the Idea of reading a f«w,ijllnjutes apd
gone on, and on through long Hours,
turning pages with a feverish-hand and
regretting when the last , page had
been flnlahed?
Such a situation calls up what a
critic recently said concerning. Blanche
Walsh In Clyde Fitch's greatest play
“The .Woman In the Case," which will
be seen at the Grand next Saturday,
matinee and evening.
He wrote: ‘‘I went to see this -per
formance because It Is my business to
see all. performances. I sat down with
a languid air. with the feelings of s
Jaded man. The curtain rose and in
two minutes I had forgotten that I
was In A theater. It was a page of
life unfolding before me. In Such a
quick, natural way that I felt myself
a part of It. I felt emotions such aa
I had never experienced at a play.
, “I saw a devoted wife, struggling to
save the life and honor of the man she
loved. I saw her happy and contented;
saw her heart wrenched when her hus
band wa* torn from her aide; saw her
In the midst of fearful prison scenes;
saw her with suppressed tigerish emo
tions, by words alone, wring a searet
from another woman; and I actually
wept tears of Joy to see her throw her
arms above her head and awoon when
the awful secret was hers and her hus
band was safe. "The Woman In the
Case" Is not a play—It la a great life
drama that, minute by minute, holds
the attention of the woman who has
never known anything but Joy."
“The Little Duchess.”
One of the most beautiful women on
the American stage comes to the
Grand next Monday night In a mag
nlflcent production of the musical
comedy hit, "The Little Duchess." Thl
