September 21, 1928.
s \V. D. Taylor and L. I
County Policemen, Greens*
Your fetter of the 18th recevied
tsterday evening on my return home
fn tn Putnam superior court.
j n aiu-wer to your question, Is it
violation of the laws of Georgia for
anyone to make or manufacture what
i« commonly designated as home brew
fill take pleasure in giving you the
following information in reference to
aid inquiry, to-wit:
Under section 426 of the penal code
. of Georgia of 1910, it is a viola*.i
of the criminal Law to make or manu
facture or sell or to possess "any-
alcoholic, spiritous, malt, or intoxi
cating liquors, or intoxicating bitters,
or other drinks which if drunk to ex-
cess, will produce intoxication.’ 1
Therefore you will sec the correct
answer to your quofltion, whether
the making, selling or having home
brew is in violation of the criminal
law of Georgia, under this section,
depends entirely upon the fact,
whether home brew is alcoholic,
spiritous or malt liquor, or will it
produce intoxication if drunk to ex
cess. If it comes within either of
the above descriptions it will be clenr-
a criminal act to make sell or
ses-i home brew.
In addition to the above I will say
that under section 448 (b) of the
Ilth volume of Park’s Annotated
Code of Georgia, it is provided that
the term, "prohibited liquors and
beverages,’’ whether used
“In thi» article or any other Law
to promote temperance or to sup
press the evils of intemperance,
shall include and be deemed to
brace the following: (1) Alcohol,
alcoholic liquors, spiritous liquor!
and all mixed liquors, any pnrt ol
which is rectified spirits, nhsinthe,
whiskey, brandy, rum and gin; (2)
vinous liquors nr»d beverages: (S)
nil malted, fermented or brewed
liquors of any name or description,
manufactured from malt wholly
pnrt. such as beer, lager beer, n
beer porter and ala and nil brewed
or fermented liquors and beverage)
in whic h maltose is a substantial
imrml: nt. whether alcoholic or n<
<»r whether intoxicating or not: (-1
any drinks, liquors, or beveragi
containing one half of one per cent
of alcohol or more by volume at
degrees Fahrenheit; or any other
liquids or liquors mn.iufncturcd or
sold, or otherwise disposed of, for
beverage purposes containing said
amount of one-half of one per cent
alcohol or more: <5) any intoxica
ting bitters or beverages by what
ever name called; (6) all liquors and
beverages? or drinks made in imita
tion of or intended as a substitute
for beer, ale, wine or whiskey,
other rlcoholic or spiritous, vinous, or j jJTY y (
malt liquors, including those liquors i ,
and beverages commonly known and I
called near-beer.’’

Inal act for anyone to manufacture,! “
sell or possess home brew. It is im
possible for me to state in this letter
whether home brew comes within
any of the above descriptions, for the
reason I do not know the ingredients
that compose it
If there is any doubt upon the com
posite parts of home brew, I would
suggest that you have it analyzed by
a competent chemist and then you
will be in a position to tell whether it,
is in violation of the law to manu-j
facture, sell or posses*, home brew.
I am glad to give you this informa-
tion aa requested in your letter and
would be glad also for you to have |
your letter and this answer publish
ed, as stated by you, for the infor
mation of those who contemplate go
ing into the home brew business. I
would suggest, though, to all such
thnt they have the contents of home
brew analyzed before making or sell-
or possessing any, us ignorance
of the law of the contents of home
brew will noi excuse anyone. The
law presumes a person knows what
making selling or possessing
could know by the exercise of ordin-
:arc and diligence.
Yours sincerely,
JAMES B. PARK.

got upset with stomach spells, or
were constipated. I gave them

C AREFUL refining is important,
of course. But no motor oil can
be tougher or longer-wearing than
the crude petroleum from which it
is refined.
That is why only pure paraffin-base
crudes are used in making Pan-
Am Motor Oil. For nature has
. given this kind of petroleum ex
ceptional qualities. It produces
a motor oil that no other type can
equal in safety and long wear.
The qualities of Pan-Am are
similar in all respects to those set up
by the leading automotive engineers
as the ideal lubricant for modem
motors.
