Let us add to the 70.000 Illi we have enough to wrap up every man In the House and Senate, (let enough to wraji your senator and representative and then see that it Is his political winding sheet if he votes against the bill. Send to me for blanks and when you get what names you can return to me. Don't give them to your senator or representative. (d.) Vote only for men who will vote for the bill. If there is no candidate who will vote for the bill, duty to heaven and earth, to (leorgia and hu manity, demands that the voter pro test by not voting. He should say out loud why he don’t vote. (e.) All can help by contributing and soliciting funds. Nothing will go so far toward securing the passage of the bill as to make It known that we are going right on with the agita tion and that we have the money. We should have money enough at once to carry on the work another year. In stead of scattering a million leaflets let us scatter two million next year. In addition to the indorsement of the bill by the churches and other delib erative bodies, we will confront the Legislature, when it meets, with the most powerful petition ever seen in Georgia. Reader, as you desire to see Georgia free from the liquor curse, send a sub scription for sueh an amount as you will be responsible for next year. Let us convince the politicians that we are just getting ready to fight and our bill will past. Nothing will convince them unless we subscribe money to carry on the fight. A lady teacher subscribed $5 a month. Another, a widow and gov erness, subscribed $1 a month. Let us have a splendid suitscription in the next few days, and the grandest vic tory ever won in Georgia is near. A. .J. HUGHES.

Foolish Pattypan, or the Career of a Mischievous Monkey—A Very Interesting Building. “Pattypan, you are the worst monkey In the whole forest. You will get into dreadful trouble some day,” said his mother. “Now listen,” said his father. “You are to give up your wild pranks and not to wander away so far. ” Pattypan looked up saucily, sprang into the nearest tree and was out of sight in a moment. “I shall please my self,” he said sulkily, when he had reached a safe distance. “I’m not a baby, and there is no danger for a mon key who keeps his eyes open. ” So just to shovz how little he cared he traveled on and on until he reached the seashore. There he saw a sailor who had been wrecked in a storm the day before. He was now trying to open a large chest which had been washed up. When he had opened it, he turned away in disgust, for it was full of boys’ jackets. He went slowly up the beach and lay down to sleep under the trees. Soon Pattypan slipped down from his tree, and running to the box he began to turn over its contents. He was very pleased with the buttons and was so busy trying to pull them off that he did not see the sailor was awake until he was quite close. Then Pattypan tried to run away, but he had got his legs into the sleeve of a jacket, and before he could free himself he was caught. It was no use for him to bite and scratch and kick. “No, no, you rascal, you shall go with me now,” said the sailor. And tying a piece of string round his waist he tucked him un'ler his arm and walked off with him. Then how Patty pan wished he had listened to his father, but it was too late now. When, after some months, they reach ed England, Fattypan was sold aud was so kindly treated in his new home that be grew quite happy again. But be also began to grow mischievous, and at last his friends were obliged to send him to the "zoa ” Here he is well fed and kindly treated, but his only comfort is ia telling long stories to the other monkeys of the beautiful forest home which he will never see again. Li Hung Chang was an embarrassing old heathen. Wherever he went he asked distinguished Ainerican, ques tions concerning the resources, manu factures and history of their own coun tqt that they could not answer. The TfcDJperano JUnner.

Do your duty and quick. Very respectfully, GEO. H. HOWARD, Pres. DICK DREYER, Sec. SECOND LETTER. Retail Liquor Dealers’ Protective As sociation, of Augusta, Ga. Augusta, Ga., Sept. 12, 1896. Dear Sir: In the names of ourselves and the Retail Liquor Dealers’ Asso ciation, we beg to return you our sincere thanks for the liberal donation you so cheerfully made to the Cam paign Fund. It is both gratifying and encourag ing to those who had the matter in charge, to note the cheerful, liberal, and we might say, unanimous re sponse from the “Retail Dealers.” With the spirit of unity pervading tiie ranks of our liquor dealers* and their determination to protect their legitimate business, we do not hesitate to say that they need fear any adverse legislation in the near future, ns owing in part to their liberality we will be enabled to elect legislators that will protect our interests, and oppose the enactment of any fanatical or sump tuary laws. Again thanking you, and congratu lating you on the solid footing of our Association, we beg to remain, Yours very truly, GEO. H. HOWARD, Pres. HENRY KENNEDY, Vice Pres. D. DREYER, Sec. L. FINK. Treas. We call attention to these two letters from the officers of the ‘Retail Liquor Dealers Association of Augusta,’ and sent, presumably, to every liquor dealer in that city. The first is an urgent plea to those not “already members” to join the association. The second is a letter of thanks for the liberal donation to the CAMPAIGN FUND, which came : in a “cheerful, liberal and we might, say UNANIMOUS response from the retail dealers.” Richmond county has 109 legal ized liquor sellers. If 100 of these put in gjo each, (and President Howard and Secretary Dick Dreyer would hardly call a less sum “lib eral ”)it would give a campaign fund of $5,000, with which to help pay the expenses of South Carolina negros, who have been duly reg istered and are preparing to vote the democratic ticket, under Judge Eve’s plan for a “fair division of managers,” ALL APPOINTED BY HIMSELF. But mark the language of this first letter to the liquor dealers: “THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR BUSINESS DEPENDS ON THE ELECTION OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE AND COUNTY TICKETS.” Some temperance men may be fooled by shrewd and wily politi ticians, but the liquor men always know “ FOR SURE” what men, and what party to trust, and they nev, r make mistakes. They KNOW in advance. But why this eagerness on the part of the liquor men to elect the democratic “STATE TICKET ? ” Temperance Democrats have ' been told, over and over again, that the election of Seab. Wright for governor would not help their cause, but the whiskey crowd very evidently believe that the election of Atkinson will help the whiskey cause. Temperance democrats cannot ■ afford to support the same man for governor that the whiskey dealers of Augusta are supporting. Prohibition democrats cannot af ford to help elect a “state ticket” on which the “existence of the liquor business depends.” Christian men of Georgia, think about these things. Ul. C. C. U.

T. U. movement, arrived in Elmira Saturday and became a guest of the W. C. T. U. House. Miss Slack is Honorary Secretary of the World’s Woman’s Christian Tem perance I nion, and Honorary Secreta ry of the British Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. Incidentally she is a poor law guardian of England, and also a preacher in the Methodist church she being the only woman who has ever preached in John Wesley’s pulpi’, City Road Chapel, London. Miss Slack comes to America with the highest recommendations from such people as Miss Frances E. Wil lard, Lady Henry Sonlerest, Mr. Win. T. Stead, Rev, Hugh Price Hughes and Rev. Mark Guy Pearce. The Woman’s Signal, London Echo, Ripley News, Methodist Times, Christian Endeavor, Methodist Recorder, Alliance News, and, in short, about all the leading journals of England, and of America, are outspoken in her praise. Miss Slack iias traveled and lectured throughout nearly all of the countries of tiie l iiiteil Kingdom,preaching tem perance, visiting prisons, lifting up the fallen, and endeavoring to bring in the reign of “better manners, purer laws.” She is preeminently the temperance apostle to Ireland,theGideonOusclcy of the Emerald Isle, she having planted, established and organized the cause of temperance among the Irish people, as tliat pioneer preacher did the doctrine of Wesleyan Methodism.

Thomas K. hreoher pre- : elded vtrr the meeting, introducing Ml« Slack, and following her adilreos , with words of characteristic sweetness and power. Mr. Beecher eounciled all women present to identify themselves with the great White Ribbon crusade of the age, and urged all men to commend themselves in tiie coming election as ilitlligent Christians who desire their influence to eon nt on the side nf sobriety and good government,ratlier than seek to join in tiie wild, senseless, '‘Hurrah ! We scooped ’em!” when to “scoop 'em would do no one any possible good. Miss Slack called attention to tiie words of Christ,“Ye are i he salt of the earth,” showing tliat the mission of tiie Christian church is to preserve the world from decay and corruption. She said the church had been very slow to do this, speaking in loving but biting sarcasm of the subserviency of the two grreat Christian nations of tiie world to saloon and slum ru'e. She re lated affecting incidents which had come under her observation in prisons and elsewhere, enforcing tiie duty of teetotalism and a clear record of influ ence politically. Herexliortion to rise above low party feeling and to work and vote for tiie protection of tiie home and tiie salvation of the sons and daughters of America was thrilling and moving. Quoting Napoleon as saying,“lf France is ever to be great site most have good mothers,” she earnestly and lovingly entreated all to join the forces tliat make for righteousness, and thus help rescue tiie nation and the world from the evils and corruptions which aqp de stroying tiie people,—Elmira (N.
