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, H. C. ROBERT, Manager American Baptist Pub. So. Atlanta, Ga., July 6. 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.

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! Aftor re-reading the resolutions pub. Carrollton, Ga. 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. B. F. GUILLE. Atlanta, Ga., July 8, 1907. _ 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. Macon, On, July 8. 1807. A Physician’# Approval. F. L.
