(Communicated.) 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.

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. GJ-A-STOHT-A.. Bears the K' n( * Y° u ave Always Bought slB “ l " re MERCER NOTES.

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.” Market Report.
