StibM-riptioii, *1.00 por year
Thirty years ago, under the t hen
existing Jaws which were local op¬
tion, tlie temperance element could
boast of not more than a half-score
illicit (and no government) distil¬
leries in White county. At that
time ranging from 1885 up to the
lime the state of Georgia enacted a
law prohibiting drunkenness upon
its public highways, there was
much public drunkenness, not only
upon the highways and by ways but
at all public gatherings, and the
criminal dockets of our superior
courts largely consisted of cases
against persons being intoxicated
at places of religious worship dur¬
ing divine services. At that time
whiskey—manufactured pure and
uncontaminated with drugs or
other foreign ingredients—fold at
the price of 75 cents per gallon in
quantities of five gallons or more,
and at the rate of lr.00 per gallon
in smaller quantities.
During the short period prior to
the closing of saloons in Georgia,
when prohibition was ardently ad¬
vocated by the temperance forces,
the more far-seeing element of our
intemperate population—many of
whom were they themselves manu¬
facturers of illicit whiskey—dis¬
covered in they grey dawn of the
morning mist of prohibition a
shortage of whiskey in many parts
of the state, and this they calculat¬
ed would warrant an advance in
the price, and time has proven
their calculations correct.
At the present, time, just when
the “whiskey dry” legislation bill,
signed by the president, is -nearing
the day it becomes effective, _ the
“moonshiner” is “laughing up his
sleeve,” “blockade” whiskey, com¬
monly termed "scorpion juice,” is
sold for $1.00 to $2.00 per quart in
small quantities, and $2.00 to $5,00
per gallon in larger quantities.
The illicit whiskey now on the
“market” is of a very inferior
grade of manufacture. We are
told that revenue officials oftimes
find scores of empty potash cans,
washing powder containers, tobac¬
co, etc., in quantities at still-house
places when they make their raids.
This of course is used in ways best
known to the manufacturer to
make the output of whiskey per
bushel of grain greater than it
otherwise would be, and at the
same time making whiskey that
will give upon inspection evidence
of its high standard in proof, but
in fact being nothing more nor less
than highly adulterated and dan¬
gerous whiskey to the health of the
person who drinks it. It may be
that whiskey at its best is bad, but
if so, then largely the kind of
whiskey now manufactured upon
the banks of our streams in the soft
light of the moon is of the vilest
type and dangerous for man to
drink. Men who have drank not
more than a half-pint have been so
seriously ill from its effects that a
physician had to be called and his
best efforts used to restore his
pa ient, and, Mr. Manufacturer,
because of these injurious concoc¬
tions public sentiment grows more
and more against you than if you
manufactured whiskey with as
much care and precision as did
your forefathers, when whiskey
was in every home and drunken¬
ness a rarity.
But, here again, we only find
further evidence that in excess lies
sin, and that as the' tire of sin
spreads its flumes from center to
circumference of the human race,
the elements composing the oppos¬
ing forces are awakened to view
the ghastly sight stretched before
them over the earth, the dawn of
the day of destruction for evil can
be faintly seen on tiie eastern hori¬
zon by the watchful eyes of the
Waiting ones, the sun of righteous¬
ness rises upon a clear sky and
casts its powerful rays of extermi¬
nation into the heart and life of the
weeds that have grown where grain
should be and they wither and die,
and the devastated fields within the
souls of men cleared of unrighteous
privileges are transplanted the trees
and the grain that are to bring
forth good fruit, that tlie table set
for the last supper be more ' often
laden with choice and refreshing
food for hungry souls.
President Wilson’s re ply to Pope
Benedict XV is what the American
people anticipated—a rejection of
the pope’s peace proposal—aid in¬
cluded a firm and elucid expres¬
sion of the principles for which we
are fighting, as well as a clear cut
statement differentiating democ¬
racy from autocracy which,correct¬
ly translated without discoloration
would make good reading for the
German public mind, but it isn’t
likely they will be handed this
vial of truth on a silver platter.
An exchange says, “Is there no
way to regulate the high cost of
uniforms?” No, for when we lick
Germany Uncle Satn’s uniforms
will then be higher than ever in
the*minds of men ail over the
world, and fancy prices will be
paid for them as souvenirs.
