GEORGIA PROHIBITION GETS MORE POPULAR.
Governor Hake Smith, >o£ Georgia, in an interview with a reporter of the New i York Times, said: "It is frequently rej ported in the north that the Gt&orgi.i prohibition law is a failure, especially m so far as the cities are concerned/ it was suggested. "Tine prohibition 'lavr. 1 believe, is more popular in the State at. the present time than it was even when it passed. In the rural sections and in the smaller cities it is enforced with ease aaid finds scarcely an}- opposition. In several of the larger cities there is substantial opposition to the law and more or less violation of the law, but the stories sent out from the Stats with reference to the violations found in the large cities have been, so far as I can learn, greatly overstated, .and present indications certainly point toward a continuation of State-wide prohibition in Georgia."
