This episode in the secret history of war times has been forced into public notice by current articles from all quarters on_war topics, and the de tails are_mainly taken from papers in the lands of ex-Chlef Justice Hines, of Ken- fucky.

People Mannge to Get the Stuff in pite of Prohibition. ATLANTA, Ga., Oct. 22.—Fulton County jail is full of illicit distille Eighty men arein the jail-yard and others have been dis tributed out to the jails in Cobb and other adjoining counties. There are 8.0 cases of revenue violations on the docket of the United States district court. This shows a wonderful revival in the manufacture of illieit whisky in almost every county in the state. It is due to the fact that prohibition, having closed the barrooms and cut off the foreign supply, has created an excellent lome market for Georgia-made whisk People who are well-to-do, or who liave drinking habits, send abroad for their liquor, but the poor wlite man and the negro buy from the wagon whici may be so oiten seen around the corner, As ati_example of ow tuls work s carried on it may be stated that & wawon laden with apples will start ont from Raoun county and will be heard from as far south as Wilkes, naving crossed mountains and streams through Habersham, Fravkiin and —Oule- thorpe counties, OF course, the price of ap- ples would not pay for the trip through ove of these countivs. It i3 out of the illicit whisky hidden under the apples that the thrifty farmer makes his money.

Tho question whicli is now occasionally asked, and which may yet assume large pro- portions, is, would it nat be better to take away all Covernment protection from the liquor interest by a__complete abolition of the revenue laws, which would destroy the Tiquor market by gluttin it. The answer to this question may open up an era of tree whisky as opposed to no whisky. Sy The W. C. T.
