Atlanta, December 3.—In at least three southern states the great issue underlying all other questions- is that of prohibition In Alabama loiial contests are in progress all over the state. EJ yen Mobile, popularly supposed to be in the pockets of the saloou- ists, the liquor men have taken alarm, and are trying to ward off the prohibition issue by an. appeal to the legislature to impose a license ot #1000 on every drinking place This Would protect the gilded resorts and prohibit the dives. Tne temperance peo ple, however, propose to force the local option question there, and have oskod Dr J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, who is look ed upon as the apostle of the cause, to visit them, and open up the eaiupaign. In the days of his worldly life Hawthorne lived in Mobile, and took great interest iu ward politics--hence. there is a double reason lor wanting him there, as it is believed that be Can touch the toughs as well as en thuse the righteous. Several bills are be fore the Alabama legislature having pro hibition in view, and they are backed by a strong prohibition lobby. IN SOUTH CABOLINA there is some virulence in the contest. About three years ago quite a number of counties and districts adopted prohibition. A reign of order and brotherly love was promised, but this promise has not materi alized. Murders have run rampant, just as in the days when whisky was sold under warrant of law. The difliculty of enforcing the law soon became evident. It was seen that in a county .where the federal revenue la ws were dolled a state prohibition law could have no terrors. In fact the Illicit distiller welcomed prohibition, for that amounted to a protective tariff to him. Nine months ago the bottom dropped out -of prohibition entirely, und by common consent in many places the law wus held iu abeyance. This ularaied the extreme leaders, and they have begun a new move ment. In their first contest, just decided in Spartanburg, the antis won handsome ly, while another contest is now in pro gress in Anderson, where foreign speakers have been called in. IN OEOBOIA. In Georgia a man can scarcely be elected leader in a country school debate until his position on the dry law is made clear. From hustings and from pulpits equally bar-keepers have been denounced, and in the language of a prominent leader, “the -doggeries have to go.” Well, the dogger ies have gone from three-fourths of the state, and tne Judges and sheriffs draw their salaries just as usual. W hen Atlanta, against the votes of her own people,which were outnumbered by votes from the country, went dry, it was held that the danger-line had been passed. The terrible tragedy in which the Hill brothers lost their lives bore evidence that it did not require the opening of the li censed bar rooms to get liquor. In the room where the ill-fated men lay dead -across each other, there was found a .champaign bottle full of whisky, and a white bottle one-third full ratchit ot'thin tropbal c.tltuncs,, nbiut th® hour of noon, occurred a startling expiation, which burst upon the nir .Ik® tho btum of a powder magazine. Tho Innocent cause of the noise and tho con sequent dismay was nothing more than an ex plosion, resulting from the ignited fumes of s turpentine barrel I3ut just how the barrel was caused to explode and the amusing Incidents Business In the Sonth.

There has been a great deal of railroad building, by which facilities for transportation have been afforded to large extents of territory which had previously been but poorly supplied. The iron, coal and steel indus tries have undergone au enormous ex pansion, and in a number of the cities and towns manufacturing industries of a variety of kinds have sprung up. The condition of affairs in the Bouth is gradually assimila- ting to those in the north, and, as a revival in business here has almost an intoxicating effect, so It is not unlikely that the sober and conservative south will soon find itself subjected to the exhilarating influence of limitless speculation.

While these men were lying thus dead in their room, their former slave, Scott Hill, was being taken to the city prison, where he died during the day from the effect of liquor. As a commentary -upon the “blockade” stuff sold in Atlanta, it was stated. that Scott Hill had only drank ouetglass of “domestic" wine! The next day Mr. Charlie Collins, one of the inost^proininent iuen iu, Atlanta, went out driving with a basketful of wine bottles in the phaton. He was thrown out of the phuton, but sustained only a slight bruise on the elbow, yet he died in three hours. “I do not know what caused his death,” said his physician, “unless it was the wine ho drank, which must have been heavily drugged.” Four dead men in two days is a rather bad record. The fact is that liquor may be 1 ad in At lanta for the asking. There are In the city forty wine rooms. The wine Bold is gener ally the vilest kind of compound. It is noticeable that it doeB not begin to affect j its victim until about twenty-four hours after taking, and then it doubles him up in quick order. There is a drink sold called agaric, aud great is the exciting power thereof. A well-known prohibitionist was induced to driuk a glass of it the other day, and when asked what it was replied: “When I used to drink, they called it rye THE WAV IT IS DONE. Owing to the great attention drawn to the jug trains the liquor dealers have re sorted to various devices. A quart bottle, for instance, is nicely packed in a box marked “shoes,” etc. Gentlemen get -credit for being thought mindful of their families when seen with one of these de ceptive boxes under their arm. It is said, however, that 200 plain jugs were delivered from the freight offices one day recently. To offset this the prohibitionists now favor the closing up of all places which sell any kind of liquid for beverage, which is in their power to dp, and to stop the importa tion of jugH, which will be more difficult of accomplishment. THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE. While 107 counties in Georgia aredry, and twelve partially so with liquor sold under license from the state in only seventeen, there have been issued by the federal re venue collector 2288 retail liquor licenses. These licenses relieve the holders from all fear of the United States, authorities. Al- , though 243 illicit distilleries have been | seized, there are to-day not less than S00 in j operation, or one illicit still for every 100 voters in the state. Jamaica ginger, and j numerous medicines,elixirs, bitters, tonics, j etc., composed for thennost part of distilled : spirits, are sold as beverages in the dry j counties. Collector Crenshaw lias lately instructed hia deputies to collect the spe- , cial revenue tax from druggists who sell j these decoctions, but he finds it difficult to | draw the line between medicines und beverages. A curious ease has been re ported from Brooks county, where Mr. W. H. Wheeler was charged with retail ing liquors without a lieeusc. His plea v/as that his wife had picked a. feiv quarts of blackberries, mushed the juice out oi them and made a little blackberry wine, which he sold to the neighbors and for church purposes. Now he is in jail tor it. Is tho President Snperstltlonsl Now York Sun. The conclusion can hardly be resisted that the president is superstitious. Atten tion has been culled to this from the fact that he has never yet entered or left the Baltimore and Potomac depot at the gen - , eral entrance through which General Gar- j field passed on the day he was assassina ted, nor has he permitted Mrs. Cleveland i to do so. Just Inside that entrance is a well worn spot on the floor marked by a | brass star to indicate the place where Gar field fell, aud in the wall just above it is a memorial tablet upon which is inscribed. “James Abram Garfield, President of the United States, July 2,1881. Oyer this stai ned beneath this tablet President Olet e- laud does not pass. On recent occa sions he has had the white house carriage driven to the train yard at the south end of the depot, where no pru dent person would permit a spirited horse to be driven, and by the side of hall a dozen tracks aud in the midst of switching engines, has alighted and walked back the great length of the long depot building to take the train. Twice recently has Albert, the White house ooaohman, had great certain brand of lcor-'ienooll, of which he had tho exclusive sale, und which he claimed was non-explosive. Among other means which ho used to draw attention to the extraordinary qua i- tics ol his oil, he had caused to bo brought from his cellar a stout, strong. Iron-bound barrel which he hod sot on the sidewalk near the front of his store. On the up-turned end of the barrel ho poured ills non-explosive oil, and into the oil he would occasionally dip a lighted paper match, and in that way was demonstrating to the on looker the non-explosive quality of his oil. After repeated experiment* of this nature, however, the oil, Horn the combined effects of the sun's rays and the touch of the lighted match, became sufficiently warmed up to take fire. The experi menter wai not dismayed at that, however, but deemed it beat to roll the burning barrel off llie sidewalk, which he did, knowing that the small ed men. After walking dotyn the road for half a mile in silence, one of them ven tured to relieve his feelings: “Dot vos a pad man, Isaac.” “Yes, Moses, dot vos a verry pad man.” Another half mile and another long silence: then: “God vill punish dot man, Isaac.” “Yes, Moses, God vill punish dot man.” They trudged on fully a mile further be fore either spoke again, and then Moses broke the silence by exclaiming with quiet emphasis, as he drew a handful of silver spoons from his bosom: “Isaac, God has punished dot man.” A capital story is told regarding two peddlars of Hebrew extraction, who were 'l uanUty of burning kerosene would soon be plying their vocation in the country.

Enquirku-Sun: Willis Lee and Osborne Walker, colored, were arrested last Friday under a warrant sued out by William Amos, charging them with the burning of his corn crib on the 35th of November. The warrant was issued by O. P. Poe, N. P. and ex-officio J. P., and tried by Justices Poe and T. O. Rees. The evidence was not sufficient to bind the parties over to the superior court.

I have used bm two bottles, and ant satinAcd that I hm struck the right thing at last. I felt It* beneficial effects almost immediately. Unlike nil other preparations of a similar kind, no special instructions are required ns to what one shall or shall not eat. This fact alone ought to commend it to nil troubled with Dyspepsia. J. N.
