Prohibition in Georgia Compared With Wet States
Georgia is depicted as dry and leading in lynching while wet states dominate in other crimes. The piece cites Census Bulletin 121 data on offenses per 100 000, noting Georgia’s low rates in burglary and larceny but higher rates in lynching and certain crimes, contrasted with several wet states. The article argues lynching stems from liquor, calls for solving the issue, and notes beer sales until May 1 1916 contribute to crime.
