ATLANTA, lia., July 24 Two facts developed today in the prohibition fight in the state legislature. The first Is that Governor Hrown will veto the Alexander near-beer bill as soon as It reaches him. should it pass both houses.

Before he was elected, the prohibi tionists visited Governor Brawn and made him siyn a pledge that he would "resist with the veto power, If neces sary, and attempt to repeal or change by amendment or otherwise, the pres ent prohibition law."

On this ground, he declared ho would oppose- any liquor legislation during his term of office, because the liquor question was not an issue when the present legislators were elected.
