The first hard battle of the liquor cause has been fought and won in such gallant fashion that victory is no longer a question of anything but time. The senate of Georgia, long reckoned the bulwark of conservatism, by a sweeping and triumphant vote of 33 to 7, has written its indorsement upon the prohibi tion bill which the people of Georgia have asked them, through their representatives, to consider. The senate did this deliberately. It heard delega tions and committees from all over the state. It listen ed attentively. The opposition side was fought by those who are among the ablest advocates of the liquor cause, and the conservative senate, by more than four- fifths majority, have voted to sweep the liquor traffic out of the state from border to border. And now the house. Who can doubt the house? The house, with the conservative senate as spokes man, with such unspeakable and definite vigor—who can doubt that the house coming direct from the peo ple, fresh from the masses, and breathing the will of those who sent them, will follow fast and triumphant in sending this righteous measure to the waiting signa ture of Governor Smith? A PERSONAL PROHIBITION STATEMENT. To the Public: I cannot permit even by implication any suggestion that the editor ami publisher of this paper aro In anything less than full and hearty accord upon the great question of prohibition. On Thursday, July 3, preceding the Saturday on which Mr. Seely pub lished his able and eloquent statement, I telegraphed him from Ala bama my full and hearty concurrence In the declaration of The Geor gian for prohibition and my firm belief that It was the right and only thing to do. Whntover my judgment may have been In other days as to the most effective method of lifting the liquor curse, I have never voted any other than a prohibition ticket In my life. In 1889 na editor of The Romo Tribune, I spoke and wrote my loyal adherence to tho great cause of prohibition. And here and now, briefly and without elaboration, let me say that with my whole heart and my whole soul, with lip and pen and purse, I am enlisted in the cause which carries the hopo and the happiness of Georgia. Slnco I returned to my desk on last Saturday, only one day has elapsed In which I have not voiced my advocacy of this cause, and until tho end of the chapter I shall be found foot to foot and arm to arm with the foremost or those who light this great battle of temperance In the state. In this connection I would like to say that the lines which have so often fallen to mo In pleasant places, have never been ao pleasant and triumphant ns In the partnership which brings me at last into full and ac tive co-operation with a great-hearted and brave co-worker who has al ways been ns willing as he Is today to sacrlflce hla private profit for righteousness and the public weal. It la my Joy to feel In association with Mr. Seely the largest liberty that my beat Instincts nnd ambitions have ever known, and I thank God for the elbow touch of n great and good man in whom Georgia la rich now and Is lo be richer In the years to come. JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. A PROHIBITION LESSON IN CHARLOTTE. A slnglo fact Is worth a thousand theories, and a practical, near-at- hand Illustration of the results of prohibition Is more to the point than tho speculative theories of either Bide. Take, for Instance, our neighboring city of Charlotte. Charlotte Is one of the distinctly standard industrial towns of the South. Its prosperity Is recognised and respected throughout the coun try. Its progress and development has been one of the distinct Incidents of the New South. Its business men are wise nnd widely reputed, and In all matters that relate to Industry and progress and culture. Charlotte has a repute far beyond Its site In the respect 'and admiration 'of the country. On July 6, 1901. the saloon wan voted out of Charlotte by a majority of 185. The same arguments bo plausibly presented by tho liquor men In other cities were pressed with nil their force In Charlotte nnd the anti- prohibitionists filled tho election evening with croaklngs of disaster that could bo heard throughout the night which followed the fall of the ballots, and through many significant days and nights that came thereafter. For three years Charlotte hiji been a dry town nnd the testimony of Its strong business men Is definite nnd clear to.the effect that prohibi tion has been a blessing and a benediction to the community both In mor als an din material matters. A little volume Just Issued by the leading business men, bankers, farmers, laborers nnd others, Including many who voted against prohibi tion, Is significant and Inspiring to Atlanta and to Georgia In our own great moral emergency. Captain J. M. Davis, one of the largest land owners and farmers in tho country, declares that he and his tenants have prospered und saved as they never prospered and saved before. W. E. Culpepper, of the Mechlenburg Iron Works, declares that prohibition has been a material aid to Charlotte nnd that Its laboring men are 90 per cent better off In savings and possessions Ilian they ever were before. N. J. Sherrpll. a leading merchandise broker, says that pro hibition has been the best thing that has happened to Charlotte. J. D. Foard, a rich contractor and builder, says that business so far from being hurt has prospered and Increased, and that more buildings have been put up In Charlotte than ever before. Most notable of all are the statements of real estate men, led by Mr. W. L. 8. Alexander, general manager of the Southern Real Estate and Trust Company; Messrs. Arthur Henderson & Company, Dr. Thomas D. Allison and others, all of whom unite In saving that more real estate transfers have been made In Charlotte since prohibition has gone Into effect than In any year that preceded Its adoption. They testify that rents have been easier to collect, while values have not decreased, and that de mands for homes and real estate Investments have been greater this year than In any prior time in the history of that proeperlous city. And so through 25 pages of solid statement and affidavit, from the highest and best men In Charlotte, comee the unbroken assurance frqm ev ery lino of business and activity—lawyers, merchants, bankers, cashiers, dairymen, grocerymen, furniture dealers, farmers, real estate men. tail ors, hardware men and the great army of cotton men who frequent that central town—unite In refuting the apprehension of material disaster which Is being held up as a bugbear to Atlanta at this time. No testimony along material lines was ever'more sweeping and con clusive than the pamphlet which Charlotte’s business men have Issued to prove the material as well as the moral value of prohibition. Take the question of order and good conduct which represents the moral life and the nighcr civilisation of a town. Mr. F. M. Shanuoahouse, recorder of the city, declare* that s lace the prohibition period crime has decreased over two-thirds and made It ten times as easy for the officials of the city to maintain law and order within It*, limit*. From the record* of the city court of Charlotte with a population of 35,000 during the year of 1904, the last year of the saloons, 2,418 cases were docketed again!t defendants, while the year of 1905, the first year of prohibition, with an Increased population there was only 1.500 cases— nearly a thousand less than In the last year of the salhon regime. The record for the Christmas holidays of 1904-5 Is also striking. In the last year of the saloon there were 313 arrests, of which 127 were for drunkenness. In the Christmas season of 1905, the first year of prohi bition. there were only 219 arrests, of which 35 were for drunkenness. And so line upon line, precept upon precept, example upon example and fact upon fact. It goes to show thdt the fear of disaster from doing right Is merely a bugbear of the Imagination that has no foundation in fact. The prohibition Charlotte of 1907 Is far and away a greater and bet ter town than the liquor Charlotte of 1904. And so the prohibition Atlanta of 1908 and the prohibition Georgia of 1908, will be for and away a greater and better and more prosperous city and state than are Georgia and Its capital In this liquid year of 1907. THE NEW SOCIAL REGIME IN GEORGIA. No one thing has been more notable and more delightful In the ad ministration of Governor Smith than the charming atmosphere of social life and wholesome hospitality which fills the executive mansion on Peach tree street. Since the Inauguration of the governor, the parlors and grounds of the governor's mansion have shone with lights and welcome to the peo ple whom be represent^ and the Ideal time has come to the capital and to <he coinm'nwealth when the home of the governor Is Indeed the ren dezvous of the people. The whole social atmosphere of the state has been changed by the gracious welcome which breathes from the official home of the first gentle man and the first lady of Georgia. Eaoy, democratic, unaffected hospi tality of the old-fashioned type rules the executive residence every day In the year. With ample means, with a large hand, and a larger heart, the gov* ernor has opened the house which the State commits to him, for the en tertainment of the people. And In thla social revolution the governor la fortunate indeed to have at his side one of the gentlest women of the old regime In Georgia, an aristocrat in birth and a democrat In every instinct of her generous and womanly nature. The daughter of a soldier and a statesman beloved In Georgia history, a niece of a soldier and a statesman who was speaker of the national house of representatives before the war, tho gentle lady of the governor's mansion Is first of all a noble woman, a good wife, a gracious and charming hostess and a model of all the graces which should crown and adorn the first lady of the state. The Georgian In an cxpresslc|i of chivalry which Is based upon es sential truth, puts now the governor of Georgia upon due and proper warning that the chief and most formidable rival to his popularity In the commonwealth, Is In the person of the gracious and charming woman who presides over his home and dispenses the most delightful hospitality that the governor's home has known In many years. The new governor of Georgia and tho lady of his mansion have done a notable thing in that they have established society In the capital upon new lines, In which wealth and display and garish pretense have no con trolling force, but In which heart and brain and breeding and worth are the standards by which men and women are measured without regard to pompous manners or to sweeping trains. The social revolution Is not less charming and delightful In this new regime than the moral and economic reform which Is sweeping trium phant through the balls of state. MADD0X-RUCKER BANKING CO.

Sira—Allow me to congratulate you upon the bold stand you took for righteous legislation In your Issue of the 6th Inst. It was % broadside that the enemy muat have felt. I hope you will follow It up with many another of the same kind. The Influence of a great paper, such aa yours. In a flght of the kind that Is now on In Georgia. I* immeasurable, and all who favor civic righteousness must thank God and take courage because of your whole-hearted stand. The weakness of the “Great Reform.” hitherto, has been Its Inability to enlist the disinterested and genuine support of great dally papers. There will be no such weakness on the aide of right in this flght. I rejoice to say. I want to take this occasion to com mend your attitude on other moral questions, aa you have from time to time touched upon them, and especially I desire to commend you for your Sabbath-keeping policy and practice which is in such marked contrast with the policy and practice of your com petitors.

Respectfully, WILL H. WELCH. Dunwoody, Ga,, July 11, 1907. FROM THE CHRISTIAN INDEX. Mr. F. L. Seely. Dear Sir: In our Issue of next week, July 18th, we call attention to your splendid stand for state prohibition, and call on our readers to stand by The Georgian. We put It a week later than we might, so as to keep up the good Impression longer. Permit us to congratulate you and your co-workers most heartily. Yours truly, BELL & GRAHAM. Atlanta, Ga., July 11, 1907. FROM A COLORED CITIZEN. To the Editor of The Georgian: I wish as a colored citizen and tax payer to express my deep Interest In, and ardent desire for the passage of prohibition In Georgia. I am natural ly principally concerned In the great good that will come to the negro by Its successful Installation. It is said, and truly, that alcoholism has been the curse of the negro. Whisky has made him shiftless, unreliable and, by arous ing his baser passions, crlmlnnl. The negro Is still, as a mass, weak and ir responsible and not self-controllable. Prohibition will, In large measure, cor rect these evil tendencies; and by proper guidance, he can be made In dustrious, reliable and non-crfmlnal. Any man who loves the human sou!, and desires all men to be sober, indus trious members of society, will under stand, after visiting Decatur or Peters streets, the deep compassion that stirred the Inmost soul of Christ when he looked on Jerusalem In all Its wick edness. Young negro manhood Is being dally debauched by the vile Ibiuor dens of Atlanta and other whisky-soaked cities of Georgia. Do the white people of this state want more reliable labor, and a class of toilers mort unremitting than Inter mittent? Then give us prohibition. H. T. TOMPKINS. THE GEORGIAN APPLAUDED. Hon. F. L. Seely, Publisher Atlanta Georgian and News, Atlanta, Ga.: My Dear Sir—l beg Vo assure you that while your strong editorial of re cent date was not unexpected to me, as a reader of The Georgian since Its organization. I appreciated the high stand you took, and am sure that your attitude commends Itself to the right- thinking people of the state. 1 believe that you will And an ever-increasing support on the part of the best class of our citizens. Whenever reference was made to The Georgian's stand last night In our mass meeting. It brought forth round after round of applause. With best wishes, I remain, sincerely yours. C. L. SHEPARD. Fort Valley, Ga., July 11, 1907. MANY FRIENDTTN COMMERCE. Atlanta Georgian, Atlanta, Ga.: Gentlemen—The stand The Georgian Is taking for prohibition Is making many friends for the paper here. Yours truly. J. F. SHANNON. Commerce, Ga., July 11, 1907. FROM A PHYSICIAN. The Georgian and News, Atlanta, Ga.: I want to congratulate you on the stand you have taken for prohibition In your state. We also have an elec tion on July 23 to decide If this county will be dry or wet. It Is wet at pres ent. If we earn- the election, there will be no wet county in the state but Pensacola and Jacksonville. With beat wishes for your success against liquor, I remain, very truly yours, W. A. MILLS, M. D. Milton. Fla., July 11, 1907. A GOOD WOMAN’S JOY. To The Georgian and News: The kindly remembrance of some unknown friend In sending me a copy of your grand paper on yesterday made me feel especially honored, as It showed that I was still remembered as one in favor of and working for the noble cause of temperance and prohibition In Georgia. We are aroused here In Augusta. We are deeply In earnest, striving and praying for success, and we are very hopeful, feeling that It is God’s cause, and that we need not fear them who might be against us. We hope that not even monty, poured out like water, shall overcome us, but that, by His great power and will, this hydra-head ed monster of evil shall be laid low, and homes and hearts be comforted. A letter from my native state, old Vir ginia, came yesterday, saying that she, too. was making a mighty struggle against liquor; that meetings were be ing held nnd women (the greatest of sufferers) were gathering for prayer, and everywhere was the deepest In terest. The majority of all her coun ties are already “dry.” All honor to the grand old mother of states! Suc cess to her and deliverance to her suffering people and ours! Yours truly, praying for victory, MRS. A. SMITH IRVINE. Augusta, Ga.^ HURRAH FOR - PROHIBITION. (A Telegram.) Thomasvllle, Ga., July 9.—Hurrah for The Georgian and prohibition! A. M. WILLIAMS. A GREAT DAILY PAPER. The Atlanta Georgian, Atlanta, Ga.: I hav e repeatedly said that Just so long as you excluded from your col umns vicious advertisements and did not publish a Sunday paper, you should have my support and subscription. And now, In the brave and noble stand you take on the prohibition question, you still further realize my Ideal of what a great dally paper should be. Yours sincerely, W. E. DOZIER.

GREAT CHAMPION’S WIDOW HAS HER HEART IN THE FIGHT. To the Editor of The Georgian: Although I sent you a telegram. I can scarcely refrain from writing you more fully In regard to the reeling of Joy that came to me when I saw that your valued paper had come squarely out for the women and children of this great commonwealth Upon the question of prohibition. From the extreme northern part of the state I can hear the rumblings of the artillery of the prohibition force*, and I long to take the wings of an eagle and fly to the scene of battle. My con stant prayer Is to God for victory up<»n this momentous question, and If we lone It, it will be because we do not do nur part. / I am sure God is ready and willing to give us the victory. I can not realize, now that we are almost In sight of the Canaan Land of Prohibition, that the man whom God raised up to flght with such vigor and to come almost to vic tory, should not be here. Like Moses, he was called home a little sooner than some of us thought best, but I know our all-wise Father can make no mistaken, and I am sure that what Is, Is best.
