After al), it was whiskey that did riie inhuman deed* in the con vict caanps, for which Governor Artkinwm amummul «xne fine*. And Governor Atkinson never made* any protest against the whiskey. And if Governor Atkinwon dot** not know that there never can be imprisonment as long as whiskey tirurtadize* the gnards, he has not eense enough to be Governor. - • Tlie Democrat* of Augutrta have certainly made extensive preparations for a "free ballot." It seems to be quite "free” to negro boys of all ages, and to ne groes front South Carolina. Three riiouwnd one hundred negroes are regwtered. Os these 1,300 arc* put down as just 21 years of age. What a wonderful year 1875 must have been for negro habit's in Au gusta. The Atlanta Constiturion and Atlanta Journal charged Heun Jone* with making such vague general deliberations about fraud toent election*, dial they were not worth ootiwdering.

Wonder if they thought Kain didn’t known what be was talking atniut when e “writ" that first letter.

It was dark and rainy, but everybody said we wpoke to with in 200 of as many people as the Governor addressed, which would make our audience, according to riie Atkirrson newspaper estimate, 11,800. And the wonder of it is that they were all comfortably seated in a court house that holds lew* than .300 js-ople. ..... ' Tempcrence men sometimes vote for a whiskey candidate, and afterwards say they thought he was a temperance man. Whiskey men NEVER vote for a temper ance candidate under the supposi tion that he is for them. The liquor men take pains to find out for certain whether the candidate they support is really on their side. Why don't temperance men look out as sharply for their principles as the saloon men look to their interests ? Take the “State ticket” on which the Augusta liquor dealers declare the “EXISTENCE” of their busi ness depends; write “woe unto him that giveth his neighbor drink” all over the back of it; carry it to prayer-meeting and kneel down and ask God to bless it ; then lay it between the leaves of your Bible and carry it to the voting place and piously look up to Heaven while you drop it in the box. and it will do the devil’s dirty work just as surely, as the ticket borne by a drunken bummer, from a vile sa loon, and deposited in the box, with curses on his lips. “THE HIGH OFFICE OF GOV ERNOK.” (joveruor aikuinoh saja Suau nogui ih hot qaa.iin-u ,ur 1 lllga pOHIIIUUI, VI (ICM cruur. ’ 11 gemuH ivr pacaiug pruiuines; u aivuily io iK.urctU'C ivr uis owu non (otioiiUH eaun; 11 vac pi-oaututaig puvliv oilkx; io use* ot uurrow ill too uknlui une <rt executive eieuieuej- to buy vol ch oi oiie vilest outlaws auu wouid-iiie uruuiuats; ii uiese are iiie quanucabions Uweruor At- Kin won devnis iievvssarj "tor bue wgh oilice vi Uoveruvr <rt Geor gia," CUeu we ibluuik God that n*eab.

Democratic voters are lavish in their praise oi local option, now bliat uuey know Uial local option uas done all it can do in Uhe State. iVe have repiviledly ashed them to name some "wet" eounues winvu could be made “dry” by a local option eieviaou. But they kuow so Utile about (she leuiper amv quest ion that tliey seem uu able tv respond. Anouher prints of the ignorance of Uhe Democratic orators aud press ou the temperance question is the repeated assertion that "un der local optiou loti oo'xutiee have voted dry.” A few sharp, but uniuformevi, editors of great DeUKHiratic dail ies; a few da tilling Democratic campaign orators, have made this rei'kiees assertion, —<o be taken up aud echoed by scores of edi lorial poll parrots and esuupaigu pijionjays, until tiiousauds of pee pi,- who Live not the opportuui ties for obtaining correct in forum iwu have l»evu led to believe the statement, aud yet this state statement >s a long way from truth. In the first place there are 41 "wet counties, so that rhe number of “dry" oouutiee <xmld net possi bly' be 105. but is 96 only. Os the IM> dry eounfies only 52 have betAU made "dry" under the local option law. Tldrteen counties are drv under spmal acts aM the I-eg Mature. Tiiis is “State prohibi tion’’ "forced" on 13 counties. Four itHittric* are dry under rhe ''three mile law.” This is "State prabttHtfon” "forced” on four OMMttieu more. Eleven remnttes are dry by re fusal of the oreiiuarie* to grant li- cense. Thi* is "Hlate pndiiliitiiin" ••lornsl" oil II roiili'tlcs Ihfollgli tin* dis. i'iioii granted onlinsirie* iind< r Hhite law. Twelve counties arc dry !«■ cause the licens fe, fixed by *|>ec ial Htaic law i* so high ifo.ooo to $20,000j, tha I no one can pay it. This is so much additional "Ktate prohibition” “forced” on the ooun- I ies. Four other counties are dry, but we have Issm unable to get {accurate information as to the manner in w’hioli they were made ! “dry.” It will tilius be seen that the principles inivolved in “State pro hibition,” tihat is. prohibition by the aultiority of State law*, as : dst’inguiidied from the local op tion plan of prohibition by vote of the jM«opJe, is already in opera- ■ tion in 4<l counties, or nearly as many as will Is- atTected by tlie anti-barroom bill. The results of these methods of ■"State prohibition” “forced” on I riie counties have been so nearly with the results in local option counties, that many pooplc have failed to notice that the two systems are entirely different. And yet prohibition in those 39 {counties ern'liodies t’he entire prin ciple of tihe anridiarroom bill. Would it not be well for the average whiskey campaigner to “stock up” wiiti a few facts be fore he start’s on his campaign tour? —— The Whiskey Dealers “ Option.,’ < KAw roHiivir.i.R,Ga., S<-pt. 21, ISM! i Editor Motive: I was informed this morning that an ■ agent of I’ott and Thompson, whiskey dealers of Atlanta, had approached a certain candidate for the legislature and offered to pay hi» campaign ex penses, provided, he would conduct it in the interest, of the local option as against the Anti-Barroom Bill I am also reliable informed that similar of fers are lieing made to candidates of all parties. If necessary I can furnish names of men who was thus approached. I. W. B. “For ways that are dark ami for tricks that are strange,” those whiskey men “are peculiar ” By Their Fruit Ye Shall Know Them. Editor Motive: From indications it appears that the Constitution ban about interviewed all the Methodist preachers I hey can get, on ttie subject of local opition, and is now started out on the colonels, majors and captains. It has no doubt been very gratifying and encouraging to the newspapers, that are befriending the liquor traffic and the enemies of prohibition to read such interviews from those preachers At the same time these interviews were ertshing to the hearts of the ministers and Christian friends all over the state, as they never dreamed of such opposi tion coming from the source it has; fathers expect their sons to be educat ed, and made haters of ttie liquor curse and vote for its overthrow, whether in politics or out. These preachers ought to get one of these circulars recently sent out by the retail liquors dealers of Azigusta. So they can see that they state in the circular, that the “exist ence of the barrooms, and the liquor business depends on the election of the Democratic ticket. They see and know that, if Seaborn Wright is the barrooms will have a bail showing. And yet; you three preachers are for local opt ion, ami the Democrat ic party Kaeh of you should take one of these tickets on which Hie liquor dealers are depending, for rhe continuanceof their business, put the ticket in the side pocket of your coat nearest your heart, pray over it, and when you place that ticket in the ballot box, ask yourself, if you are doing the same sinfulact as the barroom keepers, who put in the same ticket that you did. TheSA* letters are interesting you put in the newspapers, will live longer than any of you three preachers. You should read the Weileyan, the Leader, and the Motive. Have Bros. Sam Jones and George Stewart come and bold a week’s service at the Tabernacle and avail yourselves of every service. Go to the altar at every call, and at that altar make a new start. E. D. ('HK.SRIRK. TUr Next Meteoric Shower. Preparations are already being made by astrououiers for the pext great show er of November meteors. Those showers are telievwi to te due to the croaeing of the earth's path of a stream of minute bodies —probably pebbles not exceeding an ounci' or two in weight and spaced a mile or two apart in the densest portion of the swarm—which complete a revo inricn in tteirorbit in about 33 tj years. The meteors cross the earth’s orbit at the point reached by our planet on the 12th or 18th of November, being, there fore, next due at the place where the orbits intersect in November, 1899, or Novemter of 1900. As the stream is inuneiMely long, the earth, it is thought, will pass through the dense part of it on both years aud may encounter scat tered members of the group ca one or two years preceding and following thews named. The thickness of the stream seems to be about 100,000 miles, but the earth, passing obliquely through it. is exposed to the meteoric downpour for about four or five boars.—New York Sun. Under free coinage at 16 to 1 the sil ver dollar must be one of two things— either it will be worth 100 cents—in which case it will not be the cheap dol lar which is promised to the farmers— or it will be worth 63 cents and will cheat every man who is compelled to take it out Art 41 vent* Setback.

Smne of our tlemoci'.i.ric m w's paper friends are no doubt lion ts-lly gnxirrus lest the anti-bur rotrm bill slimild fail to sc. lire the democraitic support they hope for it. But f'lrt-y labor under a grave misajiprohension of facts in t'he statement, “■rite last legis laiture was (lemocratie and lack ed only a few votes of passing the bill." ' While fihis is true our friends should remembe:!- that it lacked 41 voles, of having Ilonwwt’atic votes enough to pass the bill. In other words, it. would have re quired 41 mim? Democratic votes for the bill to pa«s it by Deni ooraitic votes alone. Airorher analysis may furnisii our friends food for thought;— there were only 47 Democrat:* voting for the bill wliile 59 D<rm ooraits voted abainst it and 28 Democrats dodged tihe vote, but most of rhe dodgers are known to be opposed to the bill. Now, in face of these fadts, our, friend who never hoard of “pop* being prohibitionists,” will be surprisod to learn that 26 popu lists voted for the bill and only 3 againt it, and only 9 dodged. Anolther thing our prothibitiori Democrats have overlooked: — only one-third of the democrats elected to 'riie legislature voted for the bill while twodhirds of the jM>pulwts elected to t he legis lature voted for it. And let it be remembered that in 1894 nei ther party was committed to the anti-barroom bill, or to prohibi lion, by its plaitform. This year riie Dcocrats (held tlit-ir slate convention and most of ■ t'iieir le-glsla.tlve <rin venrions in advance of the people s pa.iny conveixtwms.

The Democrat!* papers in At lanta have very strenuously sought to convey the topreosrion that Dr. Candler and the Wesley an Christian AdvAxate were for “hMxtl option.” and tence against State pnAibition.

Why don’t they admit ■ that every prohibit ion measure passed by a Democratic Legisla ture has been passes! la-cause the Legislature has been driven by public sentiment backed by prea<"hers, Methodiot and Bap tist, and the good petqde of the Sttaite? Why don't they admit that, left to an tintrammelled Democratic Legislature, every county in Georgia would be liquor soaked today? Why don’t they admit tlhut tdie registration law against Seal). Wright are arrayed alxiut wihidh they are “bowling” does not insure a “free ballot and a fair count?” Why don’t they admit ttait they are being forced by Hann Jones’s letters and the rising man'ho<o>d of Georgia to make a show of fair elections and to discredit t'he frauds of 1894? Wihy don’t they admit that t he barrooms and barroom boodle of the Site? Why don’t they ad mit that the preachers, Methodist and Baptist, in Georgia, stand al most to a man for State prohibi tion? That they carry their con sciences in their own bosoms and will, on election day, vote their convictions, spurning to be con trolled or influenced by ecclesias tics, little or big, or by bihops liv ing or dead? Some preachers will vte for Mr. Atkinson as they have the legal tight to do, others will vote for Seaborn Wright <>f Rome. Mr. Wright will be supported by many because Mr. Atkinson has on his side, in solid array, the barroom* and barroom element of the State; Iwcauee of his methods in the last campaign; circulating, for political purposes, the outrag eous statement, that Gen. Evans was 73 years old, until forced by General Evans at Griffin to re tract his words. Many will not support Mr. Atkinson ecause of statements whidh were never de nied, that he would take his re ward in this life and that General Evans.could take his in the next; that if he had the 'boys and bar rooms on his side the good people could go to hell; lieeause of At kinson’s seeming effort to [wise as i Baptist in the "secret circular” addressed to a Baptist preacher asking for his "help and quiet in fluence;" because of his open in sult to every preacher in Georgia, when on the floor of the House of Representati v<*s, the day after the rejection of the Soldiers’ Horne, he pointed to Dr. J. B. Haw thorne, Who sat in Che gallery, and said, "We’ll stand by w'hat we’ve done regardless of the de moniacal howls of the preachers.’’ Many will not support Mr. Atkin son because of his intemperate liquor-drinking proclivities, and his wretched, ajiti-prohibition re cord in the Legislature in the past, butt will vote "in all good conscience" for Seaborn Wright, pure, clean, brave and patriotic, an honor to our citizenship and our State. A LOOKER-ON. I’. S.—The only Atlanta Consti tution prints this week an article by an old toper of Eatonton en dorsing “Dr. R. J. Bigham” in lo cal option, when “Dr. R. J.

It is left for a heathen and a China man to show the world an example of pure and true devotion of friend to friend that shines illustrious amid the greed and ingratitude of civilized men. When Grant visited Li Hung Chang, he had greatly at heart the bringing of China up abreast of modern nations. There was no motive of seif interest in his advice. He thought first and meet of the good of China herself, and Li Hung Chang, reader of men. knew it. Grant's motives were so different from these of the Englishmen, Russians, French and Germans Li bad knowledge oL They cared ouiy fcr the agxrandize ment cf Items* ivea and the;r iwpctive countries, and Li Hureg CJirng, reader of men, knew this tee. He graded them accordingly, in a>* the years of his official emstcnce Grant was the only great man, the Cnited states the only nattoe, that had locked on China frin any cater than the standpoint cf pure greed. From that day on Li treasured thia in his heart. When, therefor*, at the ckse «.f the Japan-China war artirratcn were wanted to judge between the two na tions and fix tfao indemnity China was to pay. Use L'nited States was the coun try to whkh Chiua turned first in ter need. The services of the men chosen to perform the delicate task were an sads factery that Li uttered a ety of delight when be cast eyes open ex-Ccmmisßian er John W. Foster, who met turn in New York.

Into Fat—lt. Nffret luff***?* Food, bol Retaurda tho A<*tlon of the Htomerh. Alcoholic drink is not a source ot •trength. Trainers of men for feats of strength invariably forbid nil kinds ol ale, beer, porter, wino, rum, brandy. They cast out the whole legion of devils at once. Dr. Brinton says, "A moderate dose of beer or wino would, in most cases, at onco diminish the weight which a healthy man could lift below his teetotal standard.” Milo, tho Sam son of Italy, and bis forerunner, the Samson of Judsoa, were both total ab stainers. This is small comfort for weak backs and weak heads that try to strengthen themselves with bitters, cor dials and wine. The on4y use for them is when one has too much strength and 3an find no possible use for it. Then al cohol may be.safely recommended to re luce it with rapidity truly astonishing. Neither is alcohol a producer of heat I might quote volumes of testimony from experience in Canada and Russian winters, from travelers on arctic and antarctic ice, to show that alcohol is death to men exposed to a temperature ranging toward 100 degrees below zero. But that would be experience, and we are not willing to take anything that has a shade of uncertainty about it just yet. What is fact? Here comes science, thermometer in hand, and she shows that alcohol actually reduces the tem perature of a body receiving it. That is what we wanted to know. And now we know it. If we were receiving testimony and not mathematical certainties, we would produce the testimony of Sil Charles Napier and hosts of surgiams in the East Indian army that alcohol is equally death for men who have to face the heat of a tropical sun. But since we are not willing to introduce anything that any man can gainsay or pretend, we will return to our certainties. Let any constant abstainer draw off a little of his blood and microscopically compare it with the blood of the recent drinker, and he will be confirmed in his abstinence. The one is full of bright, round, electric disks of life; the other has bedraggled fibers, palo in color, shapeless in form, deprived of power to absorb oxygen and eliminate carbon—a devitalized condition of the life giving fluid that must result in a devitalized condition of the tissues it feeds. The pipes that supply the city with water are no longer filled with bright spar kling water from the sky kissing hills, but a turbid stream from the dyehouses, distilleries, slaughteries and the sewers of the cities above is offered to our lips. Another certainty—Lallemand and Perrin proved that a small dose of alco hol would cause globules of fat, clearly distinguishable by the naked eye, to float in the blood. The result is another clear change in the constitution of this vital fluid. This fat is deposited in stead of real muscle, producing what is called fatty degeneration. Take your microscope again and examine a very fine section of a temperate Iran’s mus cle. It is firm, elastic, of bright r< d col or, is parallel fiber, with beautiful crossings. That muscle means business and is able to do it Now take a similar section of a man who indulges in intox icating drinks, and you see at once a pale, inelastic flabby, oily aspect. Fat has displaced fiber. This t-specally takes place in the in voluntary muscles, such as the heart and those concerned inbreathing. After such degeneration it is not strange that the heart should stop its work mid beat and never act again. It requires no ex citement, no sudden shock, for that mans of fat that ought to be muscle to cease responding to nervous influence, and so cease working. It may be in the s»reet, in qniet conversation, and espe cially in sleep, this man, a picture of health, suddenly dies, and men say, “What a mysterious dispensation ot Providence!” We had tetter say, “What a dispensation of— the other one!” Or. better still, “Wbat an inev itable result of taking intoxicating drinks!" I here close my certainties about alco hol. I allow no man to dispute one ot them. They are all sure as a two foot rule, ponderable as pig iron, inevitable as the tax collector. We make no allow ance for varieties of constitutions, pe culiarities of temperament, diversity of habit, differences of alcoholic concomi tants. These conclusions are sure as fate—viz, alcohol never dig.-st* food or helps digest it, never assists the body to permanently resist cold, brings no increase of strength, vitiates the blood, emasculates the muscles, indu rates the brain, harms the nerves, never acts as food either alimentary or respir atory, but is always and everywhere a poison, in sickness and in health, and the vital power* try their utmost to throw it off, even to the extent of per ishing in the attempt. Now, these are facts, not opinions; certainties, not de ductions. No man can gainsay them. Neither are there any counter facts.— Bisnop Warren. Boe<ra>tec ClvlliMd.
