WHAT MAYOR
COWER SMS
About Atlanta’s Experience
With Prohibition and
, High License.
WORKED AN INJURY
To that City, and Even the Prohibi
tionists Prefer the Present
System.
In view of the fact that a great deal
ba« recently been said m to the effect of
prohibition in Atlanta during the period
it maintained, Mayor S. B. Price ad
<lr.«»<d the following letter of inquiry to
Mayor Cbarlea A. Collier, of that city:
"Macon. Ga.. October 22, 1898—Hon.
Char lea A. Collier, Mayor of Atlanta -
Dear Sir: The city of Macon la now on the
eve of a prohibition campaign, and as I
have the interests of Ma'on close at heart,
and desiring to know something of the ef
fects of such a campaign, as well as the
r< ult, should that result be prohibition,
and as Atlanta passed through such an
ordeal and that you. being an observing
man with every facility and opportunity
for knowing what It does or might do for
a city aspiring to be live and progressive,
I write to ask you to give me the result
of your observations of Atlanta before,
during and after such a campaign. Furth
ermore, 1 would be glad if you would give
me, as one who has had opportunities of
travel and observation, your opinion as to
what effect prohibition would have on a
city of Macon's ambitions. .Very truly
yours, * S. B. Price, Mayor.”
The the foregoing Mayor Collier has sent
the following reply:
"Atlanta, Ga., October 29, 1898.—Hon.
8. B Price, Mayor. Macon, Ga. —My Dear
Sir: Replying to your communication of
recent date requesting my opinion as to
the effect of a prohibition campaign, and
the result of such campaign should that
result be prohibition: In view of the ex
perience of Atlanta along this line, I beg
to say that, in a city such as Macon or
Atlanta there can be but one result, and
that would be disastrous to the best in
terests of the city, not only from a busi
ness standpoint*, but. in my opinion, from
a moral standpoint as well.
"I was a member of the city govern
ment of Atlanta during the time prohibi
tion was in effect here. I took at that
time an active interest in public affairs,
and believe I am in a position to judge
fairly and Impartially of the effect of such
h campaign as well as the effect of prohi
bition.
"Prior to this campaign in Atlanta our
people were always pertaining to the good
of the city. The bitterness engendered by
this campaign tore our city into factions
and produced wound* that have not yet
healed. Members of the same family in
some Instances were arrayed against each
other, and the holing became so intense
that a lapse of eight or ten years has not
smoothed it down.
"As to prohibition Itself, I think I am
perfectly safe in saying that the great ma
jority of our people, and amongst that
number a majority of the prohibitionists
themselves, will admit that prohibition in
actual operation in Atlanta was a failure.
Tills did not result from any lack of de
sire on the part of the municipal authori
ties to enforce prohibition, because I know
from being personally a-onnected with the
city government at the time that every
possible effort was made to enforce the
provisions of the law. It is my deliberate
Judgment, after having seen it in effect in
Atlanta and in other places, that prohibi
tion will always be a failure unless there
is back of it a practically united sentiment
In favor of it. Blind tigers abounded. The
Jug traffic was in successful operation,
and in my opinion there was as much
drunkenness in Atlanta during prohibition
as before or since. The constant effort to
evade the prohibition laws encouraged
hypocrisy and deceit, and was as much
demoralizing as, or more than the open
traffic in whisky could have been.
"I am satisfied thijt the true theory is
high license and strict regulations.
"1 ant sure that 'Atlanta, having made
this experiment once, could not under any
consideration he induced to repeat it.
Very respectfully.
"C. A. Collier. Mayor.”

FIRST GEORGIA
COMES TO CAMP
•
Soldiers Are Coming in on
Everv Train and Will Be
There Tonight.
SOME LEAVES OF ABSENCE
Will Be Granted by the Colonel in
All Probability to Those Who
Are at Work.
The soldiers of the First Georgia are in
the city, or at least a majority of them
are.
The trains for the past few days have
been bringing in large crowds of them and
tonight when the sun sinks over the hori
zon all of them will report for duty.
A few telegraphed for an extension of
leave and some have written to the colonel
accompanied by a physician's certificate
saying that they are unable to come. A
majority of the men, however, are here
and will be mustered out in about ten
days.
Colonel Law ton is in the city and will
be very busy tomorrow for mustering out
a regiment is no easy Job. Both he and
C aptain Clarke and the other mustering
out officers will have their hands full for
the next few days and will have only a
few moments of leisure time.
The men who belong to the regiment
who live in Macon and who have secured
positions will ask the colonel to grant
them leave of absence so that they will
not be absent from their work. It is very
probable that he will do this as he sees
the necessity of it. Many of the men will
be transferred to' the Second Georgia as
many wish to remain in the service. One
of the privates said this morning that he
Has very well satisfied with army life and
that he intended .to stick it out. He said
that he had a good position at home but
he could make more, money in the army.
The first sergeants of all of companies
will be kept -busy for the next few days.
Making out the pay rolls is a very hard
job and it will take some time.
Nearly all of the officers have arrived
in the city and will go into camp this af
ternoon. Some few have secured an ex
tension of leave until tomorrow.
The paymaster is expected here in a few,
days and he will in all probability pay out
about $40,000.

Two Gospels.
FROM THE WORD OF
GOD.
Christ said :
“Think not that I
am come to send peace
on earth ; I came not
to send peace but a
sword. And a man's
foes shall be they of
his own household.” —
Math. 10:34-36.
“Suppose ye that I
am come to give peace
I on earth? I tell yon,
I Nay, but rather divis-
I ions. For, from hence
| forth there shall be
five in one house;
three against two and
two against three.”—
Luke 12:51-52.
FROM THE WORDS OF I
MEN
In the local option
campaign in Atlanta
" members of the same
family in some in
stances were arraved
against each other.’’
Mayor Collier's lov
ing epistle to Mayor
Price.
"Now, if Mayor
Price believes that’ to
promote the general |
welfare of the inhabi
tants of the city of (
Macon, it is best to i
ask the leaders of a
campaign and move
ment to withdraw
their call for an elec
tion, which, in his
judgment, formed by
hearing good citizens
slandered and abused,
because of their con
trary belief, by foreign
hirelings, brothers
against brothers, and
even wives against
husband, etc.
From an anonymous
and feeble attack on
Mr. Guerry.
The foregoing words of the Lord Jesus
Christ dissipate the false idea entertain
ed 'by the above quoted theologians that
the peace of his gospel is the peace which
comes from surrender to the powers of
wickedness:
These words of the Savious of mankind
are fearful words: they are sharper than
a itwo-edged sword; they show that where
righteousness meets in conflict with evil
that the division must be carried even
Into the very 'bosom of families. This is
true not because the gentle and loving
man of Nazareth desired that it should be
'So, but because the very nature of the
case forbids any other possible result.
How Prohibition Divides Families.
The argument of the whisky and beer
traffic that the local option election will
set members of families against each oth
er, has ho application except in those fam
ilies where whisky and beer had already
sharply drawn in sorrow and grief the
line of difference and division.
'How the case stands in other families
may be Illustrated by the following actual
incident: On Wednesday morning last the
Macon Telegraph contained a list of
prominent and noble citizens of Macon,
(all of whom are now dead except two.)
who in 1853 signed the call for a conven
tion to meet in Atlanta for the suppres
sion of the liquor traffic. (This was no
mere temperance organization, for the
words of the call were SUPPRESSION OF
THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.) The Telegraph
also contained a partial list of the names
of nOble women of Macon, most of -whom
have gone to their reward, appealing to
the citizens of Bibb county to give to
them “the protection of sobriety” from
the evils of the liquor traffic.
When this paper was opened at the
breakfast table in a certain home, the
; father of the along with the
| honored name of L. N. Whittle, Virgil
Powers, John B. Ross, S. S. Dunlap and
others, the name of his father, now dead,
and when he read in the column of noble
women, along with the names of Mrs. I.
C. Plant, Mrs. Washington Poe, Mrs. Wil
i liam A. Ross, Mrs. Kirkland, Mrs. Mix
and many others, the name of the mother
of his wife, no sooner was this done than
they arose and stretched their hands
across the table and over the heads of
I their beloved children and thanked God
that they were alive today to help fulfill
the prayers of their honored parents. They
were not aware before this publication
that their fathers and mothers had gone
i through the same battles for the cause of
righteousness.
This is a living and actual example of
• the way that the local option campaign
i has divided families, and it suggests the
question what sort of families are those
; which an issue of righteousness divides.
I Were they not already divided by this al
most omnipresent evil and is not this evil
' responsible for the division rather than
' the effort to remove It.

EX-MAYOR HILLYER VS. EX-MAYOR
COLLIER.
No man in Atlanta stands higher than
Judge George Hillyer, ex-mayor >f At
lanta. Hear his words:
“The good effects of prohibition here
; are apparent. Trade in all branches,
i cept the whisky traffic, is prospering.
' There is marked improvement in the hab
its, tn? morals, and the happiness of the
peopp Ii treased prosnerity is admitted
and rejc’ced in, both as to private and
public affairs. Scores and hundreds of
facts prove the efficiency of the law. At
lanta now has peaceful streets and happy
homes, with sober husbands, son s and
, brothers, with plenty to eat and to wear,
, where before there were broken hearts,
\ fear of domestic outrage, and sometimes
; actual want. There is not one-tenth as
! much intoxicants In Atlanta now as there
i was a year ago, possibly much less than
j that—October 26, 1886..”

CONVENTION
Os Christian Endeavorers Ad
journed this Morning,
The Christian Endeavor Convention has
adjourned. The session closed this morn
ing with a sunrise prayer meeting at the
Uresbyterian church. The convention has
been very sue ssful and much good work
has been accomplished.
The inclement weaher o-n the first 'day
kept many people from coming who would
have otherwise done so and consequently
the attendance was not as large as was
expected.
With the exception of a sunrise prayer
meeting yesterday morning no services
were held until the afternoon. All of the
delegates filled the different pulpits in the
city. Rev. A. J. Smith preached at the
Tattnall Square church and many dele
gates were in attendance.
The exercises yesterday afternoon, were
vry interesting. The Junior Rally exer
cises were held and the, young peoople did
their parts well. At 7 o’clock -Rev. W. F.
McCauley addressed the convention on the
"Christian Endpavor.” It was an excel
lent address and occupied over an hour.
The sunrise exercises this morning were
largely attended, more delegates being
present than at any other meeting. The
convention adjourned as soon -as the ex
ercises were over.
The delegales were all well pleased with
Macon. Most of them left this morning
at 11 o’clock for their homes.
Three Doctors in Consultation.
From Benjamin Franklin.
“When you are sick what you like best
is to be chosen for a medicine in the first
place; what experience tells you is best
to be chosen in the second place; what
reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to
be chosen in the last place. But if you can
get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience and
Dr. Reason to hold a consultation to
gether , they will give you the best ad
vice that can be taken.”
When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclina
tion would recommend Dr. Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, because it is pleasant and
safe to take. Dr. Experience would recom
mend it because it never fails to effect a
speedy and -permanent cure. Dr. Reason
would recommend it because it is pre
pared on scientific principles and acts on
nature’s plan in relieving the lungs,
opening the secretions and restoring the
system to a natural and healthy condi
tion. For sale by H. J. Lamar & Sons,

Notice
To the Public
Several weeks ago a fire visited our
store and injured a large amount of shoes.
It took mb several days to estimate the
damage and settle with the insurance
companies. Although only a small portion
of our stock was injured by tihe fire the
catastrophe interfered with our plans for
the winter and necessitated new ararnge
ments.
Decided
To Close Out.
No matter how small the damage of a
fire may really be it affects, so far as the
public is concerned, everything in stock,
so we decided to inaugurate a sacrifice
sale that would close out our stock.
The Fire
Is Now History.
As thousands of level headed people have
taken advantage of the catastrophe to
supply themselves with shoes while they
could be bought for a song. NVlhile it is no
fun for us to give away shoes on which
we had hoped to realize a modedate profit
we are gratified to see the unanimity with
which the public has patronized our Fire
Sale.
Two
Month’s More.
We desire to state in this connection,
however, that the opportunity to buy shoes
at less than factory cost will last
months ‘longer. 'When the fire came we had
just gotten in our fall and winter stock,
and although we have a world of shoes on
hand, we think we ought to close them
out by January Ist.
Now is
Your Time.
If you want to buy some of the best
shoes you ever wore at prices that hardly
more than cover the cost of the leather.
Come on and get them before “Time 1g
up.” We will not attempt to realize a
profit until our fire sale is over. The same
reductions to rich and poor. Every pair
of shoes has a fixed price and that price
is a sacrifice price.
Hen’s
Fine Shoes.
This line of goods has an unbroken se
lection. No firm.in the South can boast of
a more distinctive line of men’s fine shoes.
They represent the best makes and the
very latest styles. All sizes, shapes and
widths in stock.
Ladies’
Fine Shoes.
These goods embrace such brands as
the “American Beauty” and other makes
so popular with the ladies. We make a
specialty of ladies’ fine shoes and have
had the trade of the city on them. Don’t
forget that they go at fire prices until
January Ist.
All Kinds
Os Shoes.
No foot is barred from our fire sale. We
have shoes to fit all, from the bady in
the cradle to the great grandmother who
smokes in the corner. Now is the time to
get them.
