GOV, BOIES ISJDWNED Testimony is Contradicted by Two Governors of lowa and a Senator. ALLSUPERIOR COURT JUDGES In the Entire State, Save One, Who Was Impeached, and All the Public Officials. The Telegraph this morning brings out the whisky catechism of ex-Governor Boies, of lowa. We have not time now to tell the whole story of the true inwardness of the 'Boies business. We append, however, the foL following overwhelming testimony. Governor Sherman, of lowa, says in his •jneesage, 1886: “I am persuaded that there is less drinking in lowa (under prohibi tion) than formerly, less of crime which grows out of the sale and use of liquor, and therefore the law has been a source of public and private good.” Governor William Larabee. of lowa, says February 3. ISS7: “I find in the cities and counties where the prohibitory law is well enforced, crime and police expenses fall off wonderfully. Not a saloon is open in this ’he largest city in the state. The sheriff ot this county told me a few days since that he had spoiled his business by en forcing the law. He also stated that he was glad of it. Several of the judges have recently told me that there was a marked falling off in criminal business in their •courts in consequence of the enforcement of the law. There are several judicial dis tricts without a single open saloon. If our courts and sheriffs and constables would <io their duty properly the saloon would soon be completely driven out.” lowa is divided into eighteen judicial cin-uits. We have the published statement of the judge of every circuit in the state. Judge Sweeney, of the Twelfth district says: "In eighty-five of ninety counties in She state the law is enforced as well as other criminal laws; closed sadoons in nearly all parts of the state; drunkenness decreased more than 90 per cent; little criminal business; most jails empty for months; pauperism very materially de creased.” Every judge in lowa gives a certificate substantially similar to the above except Judge Hayes, who was a whisky man and who was impeached in the state legisla ture. If the whisky men will furnish 3 few of the dollars with which they are paying the taxes of negroes in order to control this election we will be delighted to give to the public the certificates of all the other judges of the superior courts. Senator James F. Wilson, of lowa, said in a published letter dated October 9th, 1890: “It gives me pleasure to be able to eay that in every desirable aspect of the case prohibition has been beneficial to lowa.” J. F Kennedy, secretary of the lowa Board of Health, said in a published letter of the same date: “In all respects our peo ple have been greatly benefitted." G. H. (Hill, superintendent of the State Lunatic Asylum, says “Tho prohibitory law has proved to be a great blessing to | the citizens of our comriionwealth.” C. F. Williams, chaplain of the state penitentiary says: “The business of mak ing criminals fell off at a remarkable rapid rate immediately following the pas sage of the prohibition bill.” Friends Saloonatics, trot out another victim. We are hungry for such food as you furnish us. CIRCUS DID NOT PLAY. Was a Miserable Evening and Crowd Was Small. The cir.cus left town last night w’ithout giving a performance and one of tlhe high much-amucks said that Sam Jonese was the only one man in the United States |wbo could draw a bigger crowd than a circus. The perfarmance in the afternoon was fairly well attended only. About three thousand people found seats in a tent that would seat 15,000. The consequences was that the manage ment was somewhat disappointed. The rain continued during the after noon and in the evening the wind changed and It was cold and damp. The circus management concluded not to give a per formance. They turned away a few hun dred people who had trudged through the mud to the park. The race track at the park has been badly torn up but it is the intention of the street car company to put it in order again. ACME MALT TONIC. The Great Liquid Food for People Who Are Weak. The Acme Malt Tonic made by the Acme Brewing Company is one of the finest flesh and muscle building tonics ever manufac tured. One would be surprised to learn the number of ladies in .Macon and elsewhere who keep it on hand all the time. It has become as indispensable as camphor and paregoric. When the average lady begins to lose flesh and go into a decline she sim ply begins to drink Acme .Malt Tonic and in a few days her system is built up again. Nursing mothers find in it a never fail ing means of increasing their milk sup ply. It not only builds up and strengthens their own system but gives vitality and strength to the. baby thereby warding off diseases and in many instances saving the life of the baby. Acme Malt Tonic is delivered at the homes of patrons in Macon at $3.00 per crate of two dozen bottles and a rebate of 15 cents per dozen is allowed for return, of the bottles. JOCKEY CLUB.
