THROUGH THE MAILS! )fg

S T T TR T T T TT A
It is against the iaw to advertise
intoxicants of any kind in Georgia,
and yet there are coming into the
state today newspapers from sur
rounding, as well as distant states
carrying the most flaming liquor
advertisements possible to design -
through the mails’ |
There is no way of stopping it§
any more than there is of stopping
personal solicitation through the
mails, addressed alike to men, wo
men and children, until the goverrp
ment of the United States, through
congress, sees fit to pave the way for
the states to enforce their own laws.
There is a touch of humor in the
fact that one of these newspapers,
just come in, carrying flaring red
pictures of whiskey bottles and jugs
and other containers, offers a brand
of corn whiskey “made in Georgia,”
and declared to be *six years old.”
It was just eight yeare azo, aad
some months to boot, that Georgia's
first prohibition law went into ef
fect; so that this particular brand of
corn was ‘“‘made in Georgia’ some
two years or more after it became
unlawful to manufacture intox:-
vants of any sort anywhere wit i'n
the limits of the state.
But with the federal government
itself supplying the means for the
violation of state laws, whether
through wide open mails or otherwise
it is scarcely to be wondered at that
others, bent on violation, should take
advantage of any opportunity that
might offer itself.
Whether this particular brand ot
“corn’”” was made in Georgia in vin
lation of law or not, however, isn'*
the important question just now, for
the state authorities have given evi
dence of the fact that they propose
to take care of that situation and to
suppress the illegal manufacture and
sale,
But that the federal government
should continue to permit the use of
its mails for the flaunting of state
laws is quite another matter.
It is only a question of how long.
The present congress has ample op |
portunity to remedy the evil, ‘
If it fails it may take it for grant- |
ed that some very pertinent (|l|vs~|
tions will be asked before the Nov
ember election. —Atlanta Counstitu

“MR. HARRIS NOT MEDDLING IN
POLITICS.”
“*Sen. Newlands took to task the
Hon. William J. Harris, of Georgia,
the otheér day on the floor of the sen
ate for what he termed meddling in
politics. He declared that Mr. Harris
had come down to the Georgia state
convention and had taken a promi
nent part in its deliberations and
had practically dominated it
“It is true that Mr. tiarris was in
“Georgia and that he met some of his
friends while here, but he was nol a
edelegate to the conventicn and was
mot meddling in its affairs. He is a
member of the federal trade commis
sion and knows his duties. He knows
that it would not be becoming to
meddle in politics while holding a
non-partisan position.
*“*Mr. Harris replied to the charges
by stating that he was visiting in
“Georgia and while here met some of
his friends, as he had a right to do
~and as he would continue to do. Sen
ator Hardwick, on the floor of the
senate, replied to Senator Newlands,
refuting his charges utterly.
““The opposition must be hard put
to it to air such charges against a
worthy democrat who is doing the
country good service, in fact con
spicuous service.”—Athens Banner.

' DECORATION DAY IN MARIETTA
| Although the 30th of May dawned
in showers of rain the sun came ouf
by 9 o’clock ann the day was bright
and pleasant.
Ccmmander J. W. Sm.th led the
procession of wvisitors including de
tachments of infantry from several
post: and a drum corps. |
After the hymns and reading of
orders, Superintendent William Wil- |
son read the Gettysburg address ()f!
Abraham _..ncoln. |
Col. J. Cclton.Lynes, a (-,onfedpr—l
ate veteran who once lived in Mari-l
etta and has many friends here,
made a fine address on *““The appro-i
priatenes3 of these serviees and the
citizens duty to observe the same."l
The detachment of the sth regi
ment of the National Guard fired a
salute to the dead.
All the ministers in town were
present and many ladies.
The U. D. C., Kennesaw Chapter,
sent Superintendent Wilson, of the
National Cemetery, a beautiful bas
ket of flowers with a note expressing
sisterly sentiments.
It is proper to remind our citizéns
that Mr. Wilson was for many years
in charge of the soldiers cemetery in
Mobile, Ala., and by his fine moral
courage and high character he
brought the former antagonistic ele
ments together in brotherly accord.
Before he left Mobile he had a con
federate veteran to make an address
in his cemetery and he made it a
rule to attend the southern memorial
exercises on the 26th of April. It is|
due largely to his influence thatl
both the 26th of April and the 30th
of May in Mobile are observed by |
veterans of both armies as well as thn.j
citizens. Both mingle their roses‘
and lilies in tender reverance over
the dust that once was a brave heart
beating under either a blue or a grey
uniform. |
Mr. Wilson has had an eventful
life, almost dying in Vicksburg, Miss.
but he has lived bravely through all
kinds of suftering and we trust his
life here will be ““one of those am
brosial eves a day of storm so often
leaves.” In his earlier years he came
south rrom Inaiana for his health
and during a visit to Atlanta became
a chummy friend of Joel Chandler
Harris.
