ATLANTA GOING TO
JOIN THE DRY ONES
(United Pr Laaaed Wire.)
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21. The coming
week will be Atlanta's last as a "wet"
or antl-prohibltion city. With the Tirst
of the year tho state prohibition law
will come Into operation and the various
saloons and liquor houses will close
their doors and pass Into history. From
present Indications the stock of every
liquor dealer will De sold out Derore
the clock strikes the midnight hour on
December 31.
With the Sahara-like prospect loom
ing up before them saloon rairons are
sending in antlcipatlve orders to be de
livered on the last days or tne montn.
The saloon men expect tho annual
Christmas sales to be only a small fac
tor compared to the large orders that
will be booked during the remaining
days' of grace. It Is reported that some
of the prominent liquor dealers nave
found It necessary to hire additional
help to ship orders to points throughout
the state, while an extra number of de
livery, wagons Is required for the city
t fO ll
All arrangements, with only a few
exceptions, have been made for the
closing of the buildings as whiskey es
tablishments and their renting ror otn-
er purposes. The success or tne real
estate men In letting the premises for
other lines of trade Is very gratifying
to the prohibition forces and equally dls
ocncertlng to those who have contended
that prohibition would Injure the gen
eral business of the city. It now looks
as if all the buildings will have tenants
ready to move In the first of the year.
