Georgian, City:
I send you two sets of ringing pro

uso them In your very valuable col-
umns this afternoon.
I spoke yesterday at Toccoa and

prohibition ana the immortal Georgian.
You certainly made a "ton-strike" with
your announcement and splendid edi
torial In Saturday’s paper. The people
In Toccoa and everywhere else, as I
have been able to learn, are fairly
charmed with your strong and manly
course, as outlined In The Georgian on
state-wide prohibition.
Wishing you the greatest success and
happiness that could possibly come to a
clean, strong and manly newspaper

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Today In the city of Toccoa, at the
close of a union service representing
the leading citizens and buslneaa men
of the town, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted:
‘‘Since there la now a great light on
In Georgia for state prohibition, and
since we will bo satisfied with noth
ing short of driving the whisky traillo
from the state;
"Resolved, l. That we urgo the sen
ate and house of representatives, now
In session, to pass the Hardman-Cov-

Atlanta Georgian and Newt, Atlanta,
Ga.
Gentlemen;—I have read with much
Interest the article appearing In your
paper today, “The Georgian and Pro
hibition.” I heartily indorse your po
sition, and I have believed from the
first that you would Indorse state pro
hibition at the proper time. I congrat
ulate you on the bold stand which you
have taken, and I am sure that In do
ing ao you have everything to gain and
nothing to lose. Sincerely yours,

Ilahed by tho Journal, I could scarcely
believe that some of the men whose
names appeared as being present In
tho "Assembly room of tho Piedmont
Hotel" couM im-< bien parties to such
driveling nonsense. The whole thing
Is really ridiculous It It waa not ao sad.
I Compared that stuff with what Mr.
Grady said about the first twelve
months under prohibition In Atlanta
and aeked myself if those men thought
they were addressing a Bet of block
heads?
In conclusion I wish only to say one
word about the Fourth of July In Car
roll county—a dry county, notwith
standing the violations of the law here
and .there. We had a most delightful
day. I think 1 am safe when I say
there were not lets than 8,000 people at
the laying of the corner etone of tho
Fourth district A. & M. school, whlcQ
Is located hero. A happier, sweeter
spirited crowd I havo never seen. I
take great pleasure in saying that a
better behaved people could not be
found. No cursing, no rowdyism, no
whisky and not an arrest during the
day nor the night, of tho Fourth. The
Fourth district convention of F. & A.
M. met here on the 3d and 4th and laid
the corner stone of tho building on the
morning of tho Fourth. If we had ons
saloon or dispensary hero the Jail would
have been full of men and boys.
May God help evety man In the house
and senate to be true to the best In
terest of our mothers, fathers, wives
and children In this crisis to standgxnd
cast their ballots like true men tor
state prohibition. Trul;
ily youra.
XL DUNBAR.
FROM A CARROLLTON PASTOR.
To The Editor of The Georgian:
have Just finished reading Mr. F.
Seely's announcement ae to the
stand he . has taken upon the great
question now confronting the people of
Georgia. I must say It does my heart
and soul good to read such a manl;
and unequivocal declaration from sucl
men. I have been taking The Georgian
from Its first Issue, and T am more and
more pleased with it each day. 1 was
reading In last evening’s Journal an
article, “Home Rule is Favored by
Cltiaens.” this morning, and ae I slow
ly and carefully read the list of per
sons present my heart became sad
when 1 saw the names of some for
whom I hare entertained the highest
esteem and especially when I saw the
name of F. L. Seely. I read the name
twice and then asked myeelf If It could
be the publisher of the paper-1 love so
much. Words can not give any Idea
of my Joy when I got The Georgian
and New* tonight and read Mr. 8eely‘s
’The Georgian and Prohibition.”
May the good Father ever keep and
direct the management of Tho Geor
gian and News!

REV. B. F. GUILLE APPROVE8.
Mr. F. L. Seely, Publisher Georgian and
News.
Dear Sir: Your patriotic announce
ment of the policy of The Georgian and
News In Its Intention to support and
push for the state prohibition bill, haa
thrilled my heart, os I believe It has
that of all true patriots, with rejoicing.
In having such a great and honored
thpiece of public (entlment deft
ly committed to the general public
welfare. And notwithstanding your
statement of confidence In the cold
commercial aspect of the problem, that
unqualified proclamation required and
was Inspired by a proper eense of tho
great moral obligation resting upon the
public press and was a "confession of
faith" in the principle that public mor
als and public welfare are reciprocal
and readable In terms of each other.
You have done one of the bravest acta
f uree upon the altar of public good, and
promise all proper co-operation, both
publicly and privately. You are one true
patriot and your co-laborer, John Tem
ple Graves, la another.
Heartily youra.

STRONG INDORSEMENT, THIS.
Mr. F, I* Seely, Publisher The Geor
gian, Atlanta, Go.
Dear Sir: Accept my warm congrat-
ulatlons and sincere thanks for The
Georgian's stand for atate prohibition
as set forth In the issue today. From
the strong, true tone and general bear
ing of the paper, 1 had expected this
sacrificial act sooner. It will take some
years for the people of Georgia to real-
lie the sacrifice and patriotism'Involved
In such a move. It made my heart
thrill with admiration and gratitude. It
made me feel that God atlll had advo
cates and there yet were those who
loved their fellow man.
Captains of Industry, rich only In
worldly capacity, must learn at last
that human blood, human lives and
character are more precious than gold.
What can a man give,In exchange for
hla soul?
This lamentable burden haa been •
cruel sacrifice of oae manhood and one
womanhood.
The damage and the danger la In
comprehensible, and I am persuaded for
this only reason has Georgia toler
ated It.
Again I thank you, and feel that no
such act as youra can go unrewarded.
Sincerely,
LAMAR CLAY.
