Local Approval
Must Precede the
Licensh gof Beer
Georgia state revenue com¬
mission began accepting appli¬
cations for beer licenses on
Monday at 10 A.M., under di¬
rection of R.E. Mathieson. rev
.emir commissioner, after reg
-ulalions for the control of
beer had been drawn up by the
coni mission.
The commission reaffirmed
the provision in the law that
beer shall be limited to 6% al¬
cohol by volume. It also de¬
cided that license for i
no stale
t be manufacture or sale of beer
will be issued until local au¬
thorities in the communities
have licensed the applicants.
Brewers must pay a state li¬
cense fee of $1,000 and, if they
sell directly to retailers, an ad¬
ditional fee of $500. Whole¬
salers must pay $500 and re¬
tailers $19.
All brewers and wholesalers
and all retailers, except those
who buy beer exclusively from
Georgia manufacturers will be
required to post bonds of $5,
000 each.
The state will levy a sales tax
of $1.25 a barrel. A barrel, as
defined by the commission, is
13 eases of 21 bottles each. The
tax thus amounts to about
live-twelfths of a cent a bottle.
Counties and cities have the
right to levy taxes, hut' both
cannot tax the same dealer.
Court Test May be
Necessary to Settle
Georgia Wine Law
Iii lerpretation of Georgia’s
newly approved wine law must
wait on a court test, i n the o-
pinion of lawyers studying the
situation. Federal anil state
officials have disagreed as to
its peovisions.
Attorney General M.J. Yeo-
m a n s advanced the opinion
that the law r prohibits the ini
porlation of either wine or the
material for making it into
the state. This ruling, given
at tile request of Tom Linder,
commissioner of agriculture,
held that the only modifica¬
tion of the state’s dry bone law
resulting from the recent ref¬
erendum, is to permit the man
ufacture and sale of w ine made
from crops produced in the
state of Georgia.
Federal authorities, however
pointed out that the interstate
commerce act specifically pro¬
vides that no state may pro¬
hibit the importation from a-
nother state of any product,
the manufacture and sale of
which is not prohibited in the
slate itself.

A ‘Glimpse’ of W ashington
Ry reqest of those from neighboring counties with whom I
journeyed lo Washington, I). (’., recently, 1 am giving a
brief sketch of the artistic and historical city:
‘‘Washington, of course, is a wonderful city; one that can
not he pictured unless actually seen. 'There are no svkserapers
in the city. . However, the tallest masonary building ... in the
is Washington’s monument. This obelisk structure
is 555 feet high. West of this is the Lincoln Memorial, built
of marble or granite. A life-like statute of Lincoln could be
seen in the ball; the whole, forming an imposing memorial of
the martyred President. The statutes throughout the city
are numerous.
The Federal buildings are all of granite or marble and were
planned by unexcelled architects. From the outside, we view¬
ed the great Treasury building, in which our nation’s gold is
kept. This is a magnificent struct ure. Not so far away is tin*
National Museum, a granite structure, blending .villi Capitol
and other public buildings. One can sec in this building a re¬
plica of e v ei y beast, bird or reptile that has ever existed,
(and some, well — 1 reckon they too, once existed.
We were loo late to be admitted lo the Bureau of En¬
graving. Visitors may enter only at certain hours.
An other public reservation is the stretch of territory com¬
prising Rock Creek and the Zoological Parks. A monu¬
mental bridge crosses rock creek at Q St. and another at Con-
neticut avenue. Wc were told that these bridges cost seven
and four million dollars, respectively. Our guide also told us
that one of them was known as “suicide bridge”. (A peep
from the guard to the rock bottom far below wouhf convince,
anyone that it was an ideal place for those who desired to
“rub themselves out,” We were told, however, that a woman
once missed the rocks below when, as she leaped, became en¬
tangled in branches of trees. Crossing one of these bridges, we
immediately entered the Zoo. For animals inhabiting natural
dens in Bluffs and cliffs, this is unsurpassed JfigtS 5>0uUlert

were so arranged to furnish a hiding place for the t he various various an- an-
Everything around
Washington, you will remember, is “unique”.
Wc go on to Arlington Cemetery. We stand at the side of
the tomb of the Unknown Soldier. A sentinel, with rifle on
shoulder, walked hack and forth in front of the tomb; oblivi-
ous to all surroundings. An amphitheater stands in a circu¬
lar position near, and between this tomb and the cemetery.
The names of the officersand seamen who lost their lives when
the battleship Maine was blown up. was engraved in the cor-
nisli of this structure. The mast of the ship stood close by.
This stucture is used for conducting memorial and mothers
day services. There are acres ~c f marble slabs marking the
graves of soldiers. On llie side are many monuments, large
and small.
On reaching Ml. Vernon, leave your hat at the gale, for you
will at once realize that you are on sacred and historic
ground. Upon entering the mansion, one w ill notice the liv¬
ing room, the dining room, bed rooms, the room which l.a-
Fayelte occupied, and the bed on which Washington slept and
died. The furniture was very plain, hut most comfortable.
All of the bedsteads were of the tall four-post type; some with
rope cord. In the kitchen, the cooking vessels were mostly of
brass, except a large ket tle, w hich ! suppose w as used for boil¬
ing purposes. This kettle was drawn over the fire by means of
a windless. Brass candle holders were noticeable iu every
room. Going out on the South veranda, 1 sat in an old rock¬
ing chair. I could hut wonder if I were sitting in a chair in
which Washington had many times rested as lie gazed across
the drowsy waters of the Potomac , or in another direction to
view the scenery impossible for the pen of man to adequately
describe. I was grasped, mv feelings were held tense hv the
very saeredness of these colonial scenes of not forgotten lore.
The mansion of Robert E. Lee is furnished in much the same
way as that of Washington. In the servants’ quarters were the
old fashion box cradles and trundle beds. The chidrens rooms
were furnished with various toys desirable for the little
tots. Little chairs, dolls, etc.. were on the floor just as they
supposedly been left. Iu the smokehouse, hams and sides
of meat hung over c hunks of hickory wood. Strings of beans,
pepper and tobacco draped the walls. In a work room close
bv was a complete outfit for making cloth; cards, spinning
wheel and the loom. From here we go to the barn, where wc
sec Washington's carriage, with its upright springs—a mag¬
nificent coach in its day.
Next we reverently view the tomb of Washington. Through
a .rate we beheld the vaults containing the remains of tin- no¬
ble statesman ami his wife, Martha Washington. A tablet on
the wall hears a quotation from St. John XI:25-26, (one of
Washington’s favorite scriptures.)
There are numerous other scenes, about which one can not
appreciate or visualize within his own mind, unless he aetu-
sees for himself. Too, it would require many hours lo
reallv view and observe the historic, artistic and sacred beau¬
ties of Washington City.
1 am under obligations especially to John S. Jones of Sum¬
merville. and R. P. Brison of Lyerly for courtesies shown me

Beer License Sales
Is Halted by State
Attorney - General
1 lie sale of beer licenses wa 1
started and almost immedi •
ately halted yesterday when At
torney General M.J. Yeomans
ruled the licenses eould not be
issued unless the applicant fur
nished proof h e had been li¬
censed by the city or county
in which he planned to oper¬
ate.
Commissioner R.E. Mathe-
son. in the charge of the issu¬
ance of the licenses, said he
would follow the rating of the
attorney- general and the
licensing would he held up
pending action by local author
i t ies.
The city of Atlanta and a
few other municipalities have
authorized the sale of beer
within their limits hut most
of these actions, including
that in Atlanta, expire July 1.
It had not been determined
yesterday whether the revenue
department would license At-
lanta dealers for the remain¬
ing month ofthebeerlaw here
or wait until city council has
enacted a new measure which
w ill carry through the balance
of 1935.
In his opinion furnished
Commissioner Matheson yes¬
terday morning, Judge Yeo¬
mans cited section 15-A of the
bee*' law which gives the local
governing bodies authority to
permit or reject the sale of
beer in areas under their juris
diction. The opinion pointed
out that while the law does
not specifically prescribe that
the local license should be ob¬
tained first it would work to
the disadvantage of the citizen
if he sold a state license and
then the local authorities turn
ed down his application for a
permit to do business.
