The baby In the glrl’i arms was the Innocent cause of the terrible tragedy. Hubert Posey, the girl’s suitor. Is declared to be Its father. The lawyers for the mother and son made no pretense at subterfuge. They declared unequivocally, after the Jury n quickly chosen, that they rest ed unqualifiedly on the "unwritten law."

Seldom does an opportunity come to an Individual or a groat newspaper even, to rise to the occasion of being truly groat, hut once or twice In a life time.

U It Is any encouragement to you In your gigantic and unselfish work for humanity to know that the pure womanhood of the state and her truest citizenship—that part which can rise above the greed and tho avarice of the hour—Is all with you, then keep up your fight.

Seely, Publisher Atlanta Geor gian, Atlanta, Ga: Dear Sir and Brother:—My heart leaped with Joy when I read your Sat urday's Issue. The good and law-abid ing citizens of Georgia very much ap preciate the stand that you aro taking on the prohibition question. It Is true that you will not share In the money bags of the saloon people, hut a good conscience Is worth more than all the the common cause of mankind. I note you express yourself on a basis right and consider the great cause a whole and not locally. Tho whole greater than any of Ita porta. I wish to say you have done what believe a good majority of the very best citizens of Georgia do concur In— namely, declared for prohibition. Let this brief expression encourage you for there are thousands with you that will not express themselves to you. I ex pect to see your views triumph very soon. Yours very truly. C. A. BANKS.

Seely, Publisher of The Atlanta Georgian: Dear Sir:—Your announcement In the Saturday Issue on the subject of state prohibition makes The Georgian tho greatest dally In the state. I con grutulate you on your splendid man hood. Your say: "Fsw. If any, who read this know how serious a matter It Is to us." I do, because, as publish er of The Middle Georgia Argue, I ted the fight In this (Butta) county for local prohibition, and well do I remem ber the long und bitter fight made upon us. 1 fear you have a long and bitter fight before you, but hope every true putrlot In Georgia will rally to your support: and every patriot In the stnto should line up with Dr. Solomon. He Is doing a grand and noble work, sympathize with Dr. Solomon very much, because I know what a hard fight Is before him. In the first contest In this county the antis beat us 400 or 500 votes; next time, 180, and next time, 13 votes. The fourth and last round wo beat them by a handsome majority. I am afraid Dr. Solomon Is to be disappointed In this legislature cal wire-working may upset plans; but we will hope and trust our legislators until they disappoint us. Mr. Seely, I have often thought of how Atlanta has discarded the work of the matchless Grady, and felt that they ought to pull down his monument and hide It In the cellar until Atlanta ugaln hoists the whits banner of pro hlbltlon. When the wires were telling us of the bloody rioting In Atlanta, my mind continually reverted to the time when The Constitution was one side white and the other red. The red side was for whisky and the white for pro- hlbltlon. And of the snow-white bal lots and the blood-red ballots, and the thousands of red badges worn by tho negroes. I thought “as you have sown In blood, so you reap In blood." Oh, how Atlanta and Macon are de bauching the dry counties. The Jug train*Is a dally visitor, and the livery stables, blacksmith shops and like places aro often visited by out young men, who think their drinking a pro found secret, while their friends are lamenting the discoloring of the cheeks und eyes, and tho bloating fuce that tells the fear fill truth ull tn u plainly.
