Pontiac
first won by Pontiac's beauty soon 4W-
covered that the 1935 Pontiac is one of the most
economical cars on the road today! Not merely
remarkably free from the need for repairs, bat so
saving on gas and oil that it amasea even those
used to driving smaller, lighter cars.
Since the 1935 Pontiac is a big, full-weight car such
economy may sound incredible. But the report
comes straight from owners. We do not quote
sensational figures because such figures are usually
obtained under special conditions. But if you want
PROOF of Pontiac’s economy, we are ready to supply
it. Come in—and get the facts!

What answer will Baldwin Coun
ty give on the liquor question which
has been presented to the state by
the action of the Georgia Legisla
ture?
The issue will, to a great extent,
be decided by the votes of a gen
eration that has never known the
evils that existed under the system
of licensing the sale of whisky—
evils so cancerous in their effect oh
social order that even the pro
ponents of the repeal of the 18th
Amendment qualified their support
by saying that the saloon must
never be allowed to return.
We know that the saloon has re
turned in states that have repealed
their prohibition laws. In fact
eminent a person as Dr. Nicholas
Murray Butler said—in advocating
repeal of the 18th Amendment—

regulate the traffic in alcohol, and Millodccvillc , Georgia. March
immediately fol owing the repeal of
the 18th Amendment there sprang up
a new group of law violators—those
who dared not risk a legal clash
with Federal enforcement officers
but when the Federal risk was re
moved felt confident enough of their
political influence with city and
county officials to openly vfolate
the state laws: a decidedly left-
handed compliment to such officials.
We do not have to go outside of
Milledgovrlle and Baldwin County
to find plenty of evidence of the fear
ful. blighting effect of alcohol on
the lives of men and their families.
Tragedy after tragedy, on the streets,
in saloons and blind-tigers, and In
the homes, has marked the trial of
alcohol in Milicdgevllle. If any voter
is ignorant of such tragedies it is
possible to get first hand informa
tion of them from your neighbors
and friends.
Tt may be that we will always
have some men who are selfish
enough to be willing to ruin the
lives and happiness of others for a
little money profit on the sale of
alcohol. Possibly we may never be
able to completely stop the traffic
in alcoholic beverages. In no othtr
field of endeavor have we ever at
tained nerfeetion. but we have not
accepted that as an excuse for not
trying to hold the ground we have
gained. We have not been able to
completely stop an illegal traffic in
.narcotics, or "white-«lavfcry". bi^t

specious coat of respectability for
such nefarious businesses in the

was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Collins. Mr. Collinc and Miss Cleo
Hawkins were united in holy

ful wife to whom he was deeply
devoted comes forward to say that
"Nothing too good can be said of
him as a faithful husband." So it
was In the sacred circle of the home
where he was known best, that he
was loved most; and thus he filled
well the high station as the head
of a Christian home.

A manly simplicity and sincerity
were his most prominent virtues. As
a friend these elements shone in him
with peculiar charm, and it might
truly be said of him that the law
of kindness was written in his heart.
