The Sheppard-Kenyon Bill.
An important bill, being acuate bill
No. 4043, to prohibit interstate com- i
rnerce in intoxicating liquors, and;
known as the Sheppard-Kenyon bill, |
will be made the special order of:
business on Dec. 16 in the senate of
the United States. This bill is be
ing given wide attention throughout;
America.
The friends of temperance in every |
state in the Union are actively sup- j
porting the bill and the National
Anti-saloon league and the governors'
in a large number of states have ap-1
pointed delegates to go to Washing- ’
ton on December 16, 17 and 18.
On the other hand, the liquor in
terests are equally active, and the
National Wholesale Liquor Dealers’
association is urging its members,
and friendly nonmembers, to oppose.
the bill, and to go to Washington on |
Dec. 16 and fight it.
The proposed legislation, which is I
creating this wide interest, and is |
known as the Sheppard Kenyon-San-|
ders-Lea bill, Is a very simple meas
ure. It prohibits all shipments of li
quor from one state into another
state, if the shipment In intended to
violate the laws of the state into,
Which the liquor is shipped; and the
bill provides that, immediately upon ■
any liquor crossing the state line i
from another state, and before its I
delivery to the consignee, the laws)
of the state shall apply to it and
shall govern and control it.
With this bill passed into a law,
there will not be any interstate com
rnerce in any spirituous, vinous, malt
ed, fermented or other Intoxicating
liquor of any kind, including beer
ale and wine, and all liquor shall
be subject to the operation and ef
fect of the laws of the state to the
same extent as though such liquors
had been produced in the state.
The judiciary committee of the
United States senate recommended
the bill for passage at the last con <
gress; and it is now made the special i
order of business on Dec. 16.
No business man in any town should
allow the newspaper published in his I
town to go without his name and
business being mentioned somewhere
in It* columns, says an exchange.
This applies to all kinds of business
—general stores, dry goods, grocers,
furniture dealers, manufacturing es
tablishments, automobile dealers, me
chanics. professional men, and in
fact, all classes of business men.
This does not mean that you should |
have a whole or half, or even a quar-J
ter of a page ad in every issue of
the paper, but your name and busi
ness should be mentioned if you do
not use more than two lines of space.
A stranger picking up a newspaper
should be able to tell just what bus
iness Is represented in a town by,
looking at the business mentioned in
the paper. This is the best possl
ble town advertiser. The man who
does not advertise does an injustice
to himself and his town The life of
any town depends upon the wide-a
wake and liberal advertising business
men.
Mr. Wilson agrees to be sworn in
March 4 as President, but doesn't
want the inaugural ceremonies held
until late In April. The plan is fa
vored in Washington.

NEW MAP OF GEORGIA.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 10. —A new map
of Georgia is being made —an electru
j map, the first of its kind ever turn
;ed out in this commonwealth, show
Ing the electric tower lines and pow
er lines, just as the old maps showed
the railroads and dirt roads.
The enormous development of pow
i er now under way in Georgia makes
; this new map an imperative necessi-
I ty. All over the state tall steel tow
ers are being raised that will bear-
I hundreds of thousands of horse pow
i er into every section, and into many
I sections, particularly in North Geor- ■
gia, which have never had any elec
tric light or power before.
The wonderful development of the
Georgia Railway & Power Company
iat Tallulah Falls seems destined in
more than one way to remake the
I map of Georgia. These tower lines
are the advance posts of a new age;
industries and towns will spring up
along them as they used in the ol
den times to spring up along naviga
ble streams, and later along newly
built railroads.

OBITUARY.
On the morning of Nov. 14, 1911,
I about 10 o’clock the death angel vis
ited the home of Thomas Littlejohn
i and took from us our dear grand
mother, Mrs. Sara D. Watson, aged
190 years and 4 days. Her own chil
dren only three in number, some of i
: her grand children, also some of her .
great grand children were at her
bedside to witness her last here on
this earth..
We miss you, grandmother, we had |
never lived.without you; you helped I
to teach us to talk and also how to j
walk. We miss your presence when
we enter your room, we can never
forget the many kind and encourag-;
! ing words.
We feel that she is happy todayj
! with her husband, our dear grand
father. who left us on the sth day of
December. 1902. When our last days
on this earth are ended and our spir
its take th£ir flight may they be so
pure and white that the great God
in Heaven will guide them to those
pearly gates that they may enter
therein is my prayer.
A Granddaughter.
