PROHIBITION IN
GEORGW TOWNS
Some of the Most Prosperous
in the State Are in Dry
Condition.
DOES NOT HURT PROSPERITY
Dublin, Waycross,lCordele, Sanders
ville and Tennille Cited—Voices
from Macon’s Empty Stores,
That prohibition <!<** not hinder pros
perity is clearly shown in our neighbor
city, Dublin—when whisky was voted out
of Laurens county there were only eight
brick stores in the town, now there are
sixty-two businesses conducted in brick
houses. Neither Atlanta or Macon can
show a greater proportional Improvement
in its business in the same length of time.
The papers call our attention to the fact
that this is the tenth anniversary of th©
life of Cordele. Here is the magic city of
the wiregrass that has actually come into
existence, lived and grown without a
saloon In its life. Take Macon ten years
after it was founded, see the large terri
tory by which it was surrounded —a trad
ing territory from the Savannah to the
Chattahoochee, from th© pint* of Florida
to the mountains and it is doubtful if it
could show a better record.
Then there is Waycross, a straggling
railroad village, fourteen years ago, when
it closed its saloons; now a centre of in
fluenco, wealth, population and progress
in every worthy line.
In Washington county <he open saloon
has 'been closed for years yet it has two
towns that have been improving every
year. Sandersville is one of the solid towns
of Georgia. This dull year has seen it
■building new stores, and it would be hard
to find a vacant dwelling in its limits, it
is fast becoming a wholesale centre. It
needs n-J barroom. “Bar'' to everything
good; and “Room” for everything evil —to
tnPd up it« prosperity.
Tennille is its rival. It has been built up
Hinder prohibition. When whisky domi
r.a’td it was a railroad sta ion, with a few
ipoor wooden stores. Every year since has
seen it go forward. This year it has erect
ed at least a half dozen new brick stores
and they are all occupied. The ominous
sign for rent is not often Been in its limits
on store or house.
All these towns have lived, grown and
improved without the saloon, why could
not Macon?
During the prohibition campaign in At
lanta the liquor men loved to point out
the vacant stores and empty houses as
evidence of the injury of closed saloons
were to the city. Nothing Is said of the
many closed house© in that city now. A
man can readily count them if he choses.
There are many vacant buildings in the
iwhisky capital of Georgia.
A liquor man is called patriotic when ho
seeks to vote whisky into his town by col
lecting the statistics of “for rents” and
publishing them to the world. They never
cease to make this argumentum ad pocket
(book. Why should the prohibitionist not
collect the facts and reason that these
empty houses now found show that liquor
is injuring the town and that the place
is not prosperous on that account? If va
cant stores under prohibition shows a lack
of prosperity, how will you account for
these under the saloon regime? That the
record may be .preserved we are going to
suit In print the facts, so that when our
liquor men try to vote the saloon back
they will not lie the only counters.. Under
the prosperous rule of the saloon Macon
now has more than FIFTY vacant stores.
They are of all sizes, of the same grade
sis the occupied 'buildings of the city They
<are distributed through all sections of the
business limits. You will find nine on Cot
ton avenue; six on Poplar, six on Cherry;
eight on Mulberry; six on Third; thirteen
on Fourth; two on Second streets. If they
were all put together they would make a
very respectable town. These facts show
Ithat whisky does not bring you prosperity.
if we had a temperance town there is
no duobt there would bo more seekers
■after homes; more seekers after the nec
essaries of life; more legitimate and less
harmful consumption of wealth.
Our friends- —the liquor .men—love to
run to (.Atlanta. They have developed a
wonderful admiration for that city of late.
LAs a temperance speaker called them they
are for the present purposes “the Siamese
twins. .Atlanta tried the experiment of
prohibition, only two years. No true seeker
after truth would claim that two years
oould satisfactorily solve any great social
question. There are evils that attach to the
community whisky habit that cannot be
eliminated in two years. A man has
■typhoid fever, he convalesces—but in two
w.vks weigl* him -and because he has not
reached a normal state, declare him in
curable. That is the logic of Atlanta—in
both the business and prohibitory features
of its experiment. It never tried the treat
ment long enough to test its efficiency,
lite towns to which we have referred
above have had prohibition not less than
•ten years, and so are more available for
lest proofs of the argument.

NEARLY READY
FOR RECEPTION
Os the Soldiers, and the First
Regiment to Arrive Will
Come on Saturday.:
IN NEW HEADQUARTERS.
Who Compose the New Staffs and
Represent the Different Depart
imtnts Now in the City.
The city is now full of army officers
from the First army corps. Among those
who are now present are General Wilson,
commander of the corps; Major General
Bates, commander of the First division;
division; 'Brigadier General Compton,
commander of the first brigade; Colonels
Biddle, Wright, Clegg, Wilcox, Reber,
Baldwin; Majors Vardenoe, Logan, Alli
shear, Cecil, Major Hegg; Captains Har
den, Cobb, Allison; Lieutenants O’Rouke,
Smiley, Cecil, Reeves, Stewart and Smoke.
All of the officer's belong to the First
army corps and with the exception of Cap
tain Hardee, are staff officers.
Colonel 'Reber, who is in cifarge of the
signal corps, will run telegraph and tel
ephone lines to the camp sites and will
have charge of their operation. He will
begin putting them up as soon as possible.
The headquarters of the signal corps will
be at the Hotel Lanier for the present.,
A majority of the officers belong to th©
volunteers, and have been in the service
only a short while. They are fully ac
quainted with their duties, however, and
will have everything in shape in time for
the arrival of the troops.
The store room for the quartermaster is
filled up with the headquarter supplies,
and will be kept there permanently. All
of the officers who are in the city are hard
at work getting things in readiness for
the coming of the troops and 'will be kept
busy all of the week.
General Bates said last night that the
Third regiment of engineers would arrive
in the city Saturday morning and that
following them would come the Fourth
Ohio. He said that the regiments would
come in one by one until they were all
here. It is thought that all of them jvill
be in Macon by next Thursday. The
camp grounds have been put in such a
condition that some of the troops will only
have to pitch their tents on arrival here
and build the mess halls and kitchens. All
of the sinks have been dug and the
grounds staked off, so that it will be no
trouble for the men to get the tents in
line on their arrival.
General Bates, who Is command of the
First division, will have his headquarters
'between the camps of th© two brigades.
|He will have his tents put up as soon as
the troops arrive qnd will assume com
mand at once.
The water main to the Huff place will
be completed by Saturday night and as
soon as it is in shape it will be tapped
and pipes will be run into each company
street so that the soldiers will have no
trouble in getting water on their arrival.
General Bates is very well pleased with
the camp grounds and says that he has
never beter ones in all of his tours
of the country. He says that he has -no
idea as to how long the troops will remain
there, but thinks that it will be all of the
winter. He says that he has always found
that the negro troops make excellent sol
diers and that they ar© generally easily
controlled.
The headquarters of the corps will be
located in the building next to 'Burr
Brown’s old stand next week. The rooms
aue now being put in order and as soon
as they are completed the headquarter#
wil be removed.
Captain Hardee, who is in charge of the
engineering corps, has been very busy for
the past week. He is working about two
hundred negroes. He will have every
thing in shape b? Saturday, however, and
will report for duty when his regiment
arrives.

The Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Phi Delta
Theta Fraternities will meet on the grid
iron on Saturday, November 12, at Central
City park. Both teams have been prac
ticing hard and are in excellent trim for
th© game.
This will be one of the most interesting
games ever witnessed in (Macon.
(Both fraternities have some experienced
football men on their teams. They will
line up:

'95, and now plays with the iMacon team.
Crawford has played with the Boy’s
High School of Atlanta in ’95 and '96.
Turner is an old Mercer man, having
played with that team in ’96 and ’97.
Ledbetter played with Mercer last year.
Stetson acted substitute for Alercer last

Roberts played with the Atlanta High
school in ’97.
The law class debating society will elect
its debaters against the Phi Delta literary
society on Wednesday next. The Phi
Delta debaters have already been elected.
OLD SCORES
a
Wiil Be Settled Between the Two Universi
ties on Saturday.
The University football eleven is getting
in fine shape for the big game with North
Carolina in Macon Saturday.
All of the Georgia players have fully re
covered from the effects of the hard
fought game with Vanderbilt, and the
practice today, as well as yesterday, was
hard and furious.
The Varsity soon exhausted both the
second and third elevens and scored al
most at will.
Jones’ kicking will be even stronger in
Saturday’s game than it was when Geor
gia played A’anderbilt. He seldom fails to
punt fifty yards, and is sure of getting
the ball away before it can be reached.
Georgia’s backs, the celebrated “Flying
Squadron,” are in prime condition. The
University eleven has never had so speedy
a trio. The line showed what it could do
in resisting Vanderbilt's rushes. It faces
eight picked scrubs daily, and has improv
ed materially. Thrasher, Georgia’s giant,
is a “wall” in himself, and the average
weight of the line is over 185 pounds.
North Carolina has had sixty men to
draw from, and should have a winning
eleven. The Tar Heel college is almost
twice as large as Georgia's university, but
MACON NEWS THURSDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER io i8t)&,
the Carolinians were beaten in the last
struggle. Stung by this defeat, they come
for vengeance, and it is safe to savthat
Macon will see a “hot time” when the ,
whistle blows Saturday.
An excursion from Athens to M ifcn
will'be run, and many of the Georgia boys
will no doubt take advantage of the low
rates to see Macon and the game. By the
Georgian© this game is regarded as of
greater importance than th.* Vanderbilt
match, and they will leave noJ’ir.g un
<>one to support the team in its «ffort to
win.
Two students from Milledge
ville and many citizens are coming up to
witness the game. They will wear the
red and black of Georgia. AVilh the Mer
cer boys, Barnesville and Milledgeville
students. Macon will be will filled with
yelling collegians.
South Macon Dots
Quite a number of the citizens of South
Macon are anxious to have a provost
guard stationed in South Macon soon n©
the troops arrive who are to establish win
ter quarters at Macon at an early date.
There are hundreds of women and girls
living in this vicinity who go into the city
early every morning to their work at the
different manufactories and , stores, the
greater portion of whom are compelled to
come to their homes each night after dark.
The wives and daughters of many of our
railroad men are necessarily left alone at
night in consequence of their husbands,
fathers and brothers being off at their
work. A goodly number of widows and
their daughetrs who have been bereft of
male protection live in South (Maeon and
vicinity.
At the schools in this vicinity are ten
or twelve female teachers who have nearly
three hundred girls in their various classes
all of these, both teachers and children, as
well as the hundred or two boy© belonging
to the schools, will need protection from
the troops of negro soldiers whose reputa
tion has preceded them.
Night services are held in all of the
chhurehes two or three times each week;
at least two-thirds of the congregation are
females who have to go to and from the
churches without an escort. These Chris
tian women and girle should be ’/*->teeted
‘by the powers that be; yea, they are en
titled to it by every law, human or divine,
upon the statutes or' in the decalogue. Yea
■more, they want protection, and want it
■at the earliest practicable moment and we
hope and believe they will get what they
wairt and need.
•Many of the foregoing citizens have
called upon your correspondent and made '
the request that we solicit you, Air. Editor,
to use your influence with the command
ing officer in their behalf. By so doing
you will confer a great favor upon those
unprotected females that will insure to
you their heartfelt gratitude for all time
to’ come. “Smith.”

Erysipelas
Two Diseases That Cause Their
Victims to Shunned by
Thoir Fellow-Man.
SpRiNeFTREn, Mo.
Grstlumiw : I commenced taking P.
P. P , Lip pmnn’s Great Remedy, last
Fall, for Erysipelas. My face was com
pletely covered with the disease ; I took
ft short bourse of P. P. P., and it soon
disappeared. This Spring I became
much debilitated and again took an
other course, and 1 am now in good
condition. I consider P. P. P. one of
the best blood preparations on the
market, and for those who need a gen
eral tonic to build up the system and
Improve the appetite I consider that it
has no equal. Will say, anyone who
aares to try P. P. P. will not be disap
pointed in its results, and I, therefore,
•heerfully recommend it.
