UN OVERLOOK;
. NOT ANOUTLOOK
Facts in Regard to the Work
ing of Prohibition in
Maine and Kansas.
WHO HAS BOUGHT VOTERS
With Tax Receipts?-Col. Harris
Will Handle the Alleged Statis
tics in His Own Way.
We are bavin? lots of fun at the ex
pense of the Literary Bureau of the Li
quor Traffic.
We have given to the public the benefit
of several good smiles, which remind us of
the proverb of Solomon that a merry
laugh doeth good like a medicine.” We
are furnishing good medicine free, and we
hope our medical friends will excuse us.
We believe, however, that the richest
Incident of the campaign was the way in
which the Literary Bureau got caught on
the Outlook. They published in The
Evening News last Saturday two articles
from that journal, occupying five columns.
The first was one from the late Col. Geo.
F. Waring, in which he discussed the
pra< tirability of closing the saloons of
New York on Sunday, and argued that on
account of the cosmopolitan population of
the city. It was “impracticable” to “re
member the Sabbath lay" in New York.
Col. Waring evidently believed that Pro
hibition does not prohibit, and that the ten
commandments do not command. This ar
ticle has no more to do with the question
before the voters of Bibb county than it
has to do with the geography of the moon.
Col. Waring might believe every state
ment made in his communication as to the
effect of prohibitory law upon a mixed
population like that of New A ork city,
and yet. might conscientiously vote for
prohibition in the election on December 1.
This Is not only possibly, but probably
true; because Col. Waring's article was
endorsed In an editorial in the Outlook
which the literary bureau ascribed to
Hamilton W. M MIRY. The aforesaid
literary bureau cannot spell, or else it
does not know that the distinguished man
of letters connected with the Outlook is
not named Mabry, but M.MBIE. The edi
torial, however, in question was not writ
ten by Mr. Mabie, but by Dr. Lyman Ab
bott, and among other things it con ■
talned a square out endorsement of local
option, and a recognition of the right and
propriety of closing saloons by local vote.
The publication of this editorial raises
the omstion: WHETHER THE LITER
ARY BUREAU OF THE LIQUOR TRAF
FIC CAN READ.
It Is evident, however, that some of the
antl-prohibltiontetß can read, for no soon
er had this damaging article appeared
than there was a tremendous constrna
tlon created among their ranks. They
doubtlces wanted to know very franti
cally why they had been “given away,"
and the occurrence created such a flutter
that the aforesaid literary bureau instead
of having Loth articles reprinted in the
morning Telegraph of Sunday or of any
later date have taken excellent care to
keep back from the public consideration
the fatal admission against their (princi
ples may by Dr. Lyman Abbott.
IWo are very grateful to the aforesaid
literary bureau for publishing at their own
expense an article which has not only
done the prohibition side so much good on
Its own merits: but one hundred times
more good than it. possibly could have ac
complished if printed by us. If we had
printed it it would have 'been an argument
for our side. Printed by them it is a fa
tal admission against the truth of their
own position: a double back-action boom
erang.
The said literary bureau has made
an equally bad break in the morning Tele
graph of today by contradicting the state
ment of Hon. N. E. Harris In his able
speech at the prohibition tent that pro-,
hibitlon had enormously reduced crime
and pauperism in Maine and Kansas.
It has been said that figures do not lie;
hut the truth is that they may be so man
ipulated that nothing can lie like figures.
iWe will not spoil the fun of the .public
by anticipating the answer to these
statistics which Mr. Hartls will
make in an address at the prohibition tent
(before the campaign closes, in.which he
will deal with this subject and especially
with the celebrated letter of ex-MayorCol-
Uier. We only care to say at present that
the true method of comparison in ascer
taining the effect of prohibition upon
crime and pauperism is to compare the
population of the same state under pro
hibition and under license; and not to
compare the population of different states
where wholly unlike conditions affect the
existence of any analogy.
The literary bureau of the liquoo traffic
knows Ictss about Maine than .Hon. Nelson
iDingley, who Is now one of its f< romost
statesmen: less about it than U’e city
marshal of 'Bangor (Bangor is a city big
ger than ’Macon), whose statements we
quote below; and they certainly know less
about Kansas than Senator Ingalls and
Gov. John Martin of that state, whose
statements we also quote.
.A valuable table showing the effect of
prohibition upon crime in Maine If found
in the report of the first Canadian special
commission on 'the liquor traffic (published
in 1874). The original ’Maine law was en
acted In 1851. In 1866 it was repealed and
a license law was substituted, which con
tinued in force during the years 1857-8;
A majority of the fines were paid, but
The warden of the Maine state prison gave
to the commission the table below, show
ing the numbers of commitments to the
prison during 1855-6 (Prohibition). 1857-8
(license), and 1859-60 (Prohibition), as fol
lows : •
During the year under prohibition, 1855,
there were 29 commitments; and in 1856
there were 36, making a total of 65 for the
two years.
During the year IS.T7 under license there
wore 52 commitments, and in ISSS there
were 69. making a total of 121 for the two
years.
During the year 1859, under prohibition,
there were 48 commitments, and in 1860
there were 41. making a total of 89 for the
two years. . .
The city marshal of Bangor in 1557 said:
“In my report relating to matters con
nected with the police department of the
city, at the close of the municipal year
(1851-52. I stated that the city hail been
freer from crime and disturbance than du
ring the year previous or any year since
I had been connected with the affairs of
the city. This I attributed to the strin
gent law passed in ISSI for the suppres
sion of drinking-houses and tippling
shops. This year (1857. under license) I
(have to report that never since I have
had any acquaintance with the police de
partment of this city have there been so
many commitments for offenses as during
the year now closed.”
SENATOR INGALLS, of Kansas, in the
Forum, said:
"One of the most significant and extra
ordinary results is the diminution of
crime in the state. At the January, 1889,
term of the district court of the county in
iwhlch the capital is situated, there was
not a single criminal case onethe docket.
Many city and county prisons are without
a tenant. The number and percentage of
the convicts in the state penitentiary have
been remarkably diminished • • • In
the various prisons throughout the United
States about 60,000 criminals are serving
sentences for felonies, being about one
prisoner for every 1.000 inhabitants; the
<w»ne ratio in Kansas would give a total
1,651, which is 50 per cent, more than
the number actually confined. In the Uni
ted States at large there Is one pauper to
,50 inhabitants; carefully compiled statis
tics show that Kansas has but one to
about 1.300 of Its population.”
GOV. JOHN A. MARTIN (a vigorous
opponent of the prohibitory amendment
when It was first agitated, converted to
the cause of prohibition by the results of
the law), in his farewell message to the
Kansas state legislature, January, 1889,
wrote:
"Notwithstanding the fact that the pop
ulation of the state is steadily increasing,
the number of criminate confined in our
jrenitenttary is steadily decreasing. Many
4f our jails are empty, and all chow a
marked falling off in the number of pri
soners confined. The dockets of our
courts are no longer burdened with long,
lists of criminal cas«s. in the capital dis
trict. containing a population of nearly
*60,000, not a single criminal case was on
the docket when tbe present term began.
The business of the police courts of our
larger cities has dwindled to* one-fourth

he wanted one and still be a gentleman.

made a monkey of himself when tn his
cups.
Then the lion, where the beast becomes
uppermost and the drunkard is a brute

his fellow and even taking the life of help
less women and pitiful babes.
And last of all the hog. When the man
sinks to the lowest depths and lies in the
gutters where the dogs of the city are
ashamed to sniff at him.
Lsay, said Mr. Small, “that whisky
is the outflow of the personal presence of
the devil himself and that his name should
jbe liquor and not legion as he told the>
Savior it was.” t
There te no argument he said over to
bacco or opium. These are not the pleas
put up in the criminal courts of the land
for crimes committed. Whisky is the plea.
“Give me a’pure boy of 13 years. Un
sullied by contact with evil; a boy whom
everyone trusts and is the joy of a home —
give him to me and let me take him two
blocks from here and in two hours I will
bring him home drunk and he will use the
language that would be a di | race to the
lowest purlieus of the city. Who taught
him this? No one hail been near him to
whisper the words in his ears and h’e had
seen no picture to teach him. It is the
devil in the drink. You say it cannot
be done, but I say that it has been done
in a hundred homes in this city;”
Give me a girl of 16, pure as the driven,
snow and in two hours I will return her
to you and she will make you hide your
face in shame. She will disgrace the scar

has done this? Champagne and the devil
that is in it. You say it cannot be done but
I say that it has been done in a hundred,
yes a thousand homes in your ciay.”
Mr. Small concluded his address with a
fine peroration and received hearty and
continued applause. •

REQUEST REFUSED.
County Commissioners Can
not Establish New Poll
ing Places
The following address has been issued
from the office of the county commission
ers:
To the Voters of Bibb County:
At today’s session of the Bibb county
commissioners they were requested by a
number of citizens to establish two addi
tional election precincts in the county;
One in the East Macon and one in the
Vineville district; the said request being
made with special reference to the local
option election to be held December Ist,
IS9B.
The county attorney being consulted in
the matter advised the board that they
could not legall#' establish an election
precinct except at a meeting held upon the
first Tuesday, of the month: that being the
only regular sesion of the board fixed by
law. The commissioners were, therefore,
compelled to refuse to establish the pre
cincts asked for. To have granted said
request would, in all probability, have
given rise -to a contest in 'the counts,
whatever might have been the result of
the election.
Ha,d the request for additional precincts
been presented in time the commissioners
would have been very glad to have grant
ed it; as they were informed that both
parties to the pending contest were agreed
upon this point.
Ip order to prevent undue crowding at
the court house on the election day re
ferred to the commissioners respectfully
suggest and urge that all voters of the
county, so far as practicable, vote in their
own militia districts. As the voters of the
Vineville district can only vofe at c^e
court house, the commissioners further
suggest that as many of the voters of the
upper city district as can conveniently do
so cast theft- votes at the Second street
precinct.
The commissioners being reliably in
formed that Macon is the only city of its
size in Georgia in which the city precincts
out side the court house are closed at 3
o’clock in the afternoon, they urge upon
the representatives of Bibb county in the
present legislature to have the law so
amended that all the city precincts shall
be kept open until the court house pre
cinct is closed. I have been directed by
the Bibb county commissioners to publish
■the above statement for the information
of the voters of the county.
This November 15th, 1898.
S. C. DAVIS,
Clerk Bibb County Commissioners.

COL HARRIS'
JIGURES
Were a Little Overdrawn In
Prohibition Lecture at
the Tent in October.
NUMBERS OF IDLE MEN
•
On the Streets of Macon Today, and
Closing the Barrooms Will On
ly Increase the Number.
Col. N. E. Harris in his address on Sun
day, October 29th, stated “that there was
1600,000 spent in the barrooms of Macon
annually, of which the city received $35,-
000 for licenses and alnjost the entire
balance was sent away from the city.” In
truth, there is no such sum as "$600,000
spent annually in the barrooms of Macon”
but the wholesale and retail liquor houses
of Macon pay annually about $50,000 into
the city treasury, besides over $15,000 to
the county for license and taxes. In ad-'
dition, do not all have stores and. pay
rents amounting, on a low calculation to
not less than $25,000? There are between
five hundred and six hundred men em
ployed directly in these retail and whole
sale stores whose wages amount to at
least $200,000. They are the largest cus
tomers of the gas, water, ice, electricity
and other leading industries of Macon.
Figure these amounts w r ith their other
sundry expenses which all remains in Ma
con. and you will see that the' (percentage
of the money spent at the bars that is sent
away from Macon is at least 300 per cent
smaller than that of any other line of
business. In truth, it almost all .remains
here. The men who conduct the whole--
sale and retail liquor business here are
Macon men, if they are fortunate enough
to save a few dollars (and few of them do)
they invest it in Macon, and not in Ken
tucky or North Georgia.
It is well known that there are hun
dreds of men in Macon today, both white
and 'black, who are willing and anxious to
work for almost anything, and who cannot
find employment. If the prohibitionists,
who wish 'to vote the sale of liquor out of
the city, will explain where these hu »
dreds of men, now employed by the liqpor
men, will find employment in Macon
should the town go dry, there is no doubt
but that hundreds will ’be glad to vote
against the sale. But why not first find
employment for these who are now idle?
With five hundred men thrown out of em
ployment on January Ist next. Who are
now earning $200,000 a year, and with cot
ton 4 cents a pound, where will merchants,
who have been selling these men goods,
go to find other customers to take their
places? Where will landlords find new
tenants for the homes these employes
rent? The stores the liquor men occupy?
There are too many vacant stores and
houses in 'Macon today. What do prohibi
tionists propose to put into stores that will
be made vacant by the prohibition of the
liquor traffic? These are matters that need
consideration.
Tn an article published by the prohibi
tion party in The 'Telegraph, (November
10th, there is great stress put upon the
fact that 'Cambridge, Mass., does not have
license, but they fail to state that Cam
bridge occupies the same relation to Bos
ton 'that Vineville does to Macon, and. that
the trolley cars run all day and all night
between Cambridge and Boston, and there
is not as much trouble for people of Cam
bridge to get what they want to drink as
it is for 'the people of Vineville.
But if there is nothing in Colonel Har
ris’ bugaboo about $600,000 going out of
the city for the purchase of liquor, more
than that amount “goes out of the city”
for shoes, and clothing, and dress goods,
and groceries and meat that would “re
main here” if we had manufactories and
packeriee in the town. We do at least
have a brewery, and if there should be
another big peach crop we may have some
brandy stills, which will save a part of the
crop that now robs upon the ground.
There is a great deal b eing said now
about the working man and others spend
ing their wages. It is hardly necessary
to call the attention of the merchants to
the fact that if people only bought the
necessities of life, almost every store in
Macon would have to close its doors. The
principal of economy is a good one, but
merchants and others do not prosper when
people save their money. It is 'the spenders
that make business, and people who live
so economically that 'they do not indulge
themselves in the luxuries of life, give no
life or stimulus to the business world.
These are facts that every merchant, work
ing man and farmer of Macon and Bibb
county should well consider before casting
their vote on December Ist.

THIRD~ENGINEERS
Now Established Din Camo-
Second Ohio Comes To
morrow.
The Third Engineers are now fixed for
winter at their camp at Ocmulgee park.
The men worked hard yesterday and the
camp now presents a creditable appear
ance. T'he streets have been laid out, the
tents put up and, in fact, everything is
in tip top shape.
Colonel Gilliard says that he will be
glad it* see visitors at the camp after to
day. as he now 'has everything arranged.
The army wagons of the regiment have
been kept busy since the arrival of 'the
men hauling the luggage from the railroad
to the camp.
The water mains to the camp have been
completed and an electric light will be
placed at regimental headquarters and
throughout the camp today.
A detail from the regiment was put on
provost guard yesterday afternoon and they
will continue to do duty until after the
arrival of the Second Ohio regiment, which
is expected in tomorrow. The regiments
will then divide up the details. The guard
last night arrested several men and car
ried them to headquarters of the Johnson
& Harris building. The provost guard from
the engineer regiment does not use the
bayonet on the guns. The reason of this
is that the officers think that the soldiers
might unintentionally injure some citi
zen with the bayonet.
General Wilson has made a complete
reorganization of his taff, which is as fol
lows :
First lieutenants. Cecil Stewart. Fourth
United States cavalry, and John W. Black,
Third United States Volunteer Engineers,
aides-de-camp.
Lieutenant Colonel George R. Cecil, ad
jutant general.
Lieutenant Colonel Frank D. Baldwin,
inspector general.
Lieutenant Colonel Lucius P. Burpee,
judge advocate. i
Major James R. Alesshire, acting chief
quartermaster.
Lieutenant Colonel John J. Clague, chief
commissary.
Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Wilcox,
chief surgeon.
Lieutenant Colonel John Biddle, chief
engineer officer.
Lieutenant Colonel John A. Cress, chief
ordnance officer.
Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Reber, chief
signal officer.
Captain William >B. Allison, assistant
general.
It was deemed necessary to reorganize
MACON NEWS TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER x 4 rßsb.
the staff ob the resignation of General
Compton, as It left several of the officers
unassigned.
General Wilson has rented the Hickey
residence on Orange street, and will have
hia residence there. He will be joined in
a fw days by Mrs. Wilson and daughter.
Colonel Biddle is also living with General
Wilson. A majority of the officers are at
the Hotel Lanier and many of them have
their wives with them.
The Second Ohio regiment, in command
of Colonel Hurt, is expected to arrive here
tomo.row morning. They will be camped
at Ocmulgee park with the Third En
gineers.
Col. Hurt is the ranking colonel and will
be in command of rhe jjrigade that will
be in camp at the park. His regiment con
sists of about 1.100 men. An advance
guard of the regiment has been in the city
for some time preparing the camp grounds
and they are now in shape for the troops.
The hospital will be completed by Sat
urday night. The cots are being put in,
and Major Hegg. the surgeon in charge,
hopes to have everything completed by
Saturday night. The hospital, when com
pleted, will accommodate over four hun
dred men. The ground floor of the building
is now filled with medicines and all of the
division hosuitals wfill get their supplies
from there.
The members of the Third Engineers are
proving themselves gentlemen in every re
spet. A large party of them came in last
night and no disturbance of any kind was
raised. There are many Georgia boys in
the regiment and the men of the First
Georgia are at the Engineers’ camp every
day. It is thought that several of the
First Georgia men will apply for transfers
into the Engineers. The Engineers draw
more pay than the regular volunteer, but
their work is much harder.
The water company is still working on
tbe water main to the Huff place. It is
Intended to finish the main by tomorrow,
as the Tenth Immunes arrive here on
Thursday. .
Regiments of troops are passing through
here every day en route to Americus and
Albany, and General- Bates says that all
of the troops of the first army corps will
probably be in ‘their camps by next Mon
day.
It will be impossible to get all of the
troops here by Saturday night and it wfill
probably be next Wednesday before all of
tbe regiments are here.

FRANCIS IHURPHY
(Continued from first page.)
swing about in the branches—a monkey;
but soon tiring of this would climb down
the tree, shed the tail, don a swallow-tail
coat and a plug hat and be a man.
Speaking of the claim that alcohol was
necessary to the system in order to sus
tain the vital forces, Mr. Small said that
in all the blood of all the mon in the uni
verse there was not one drop of alcohol.
It was not necessary to the system nor did
nature intend that the system should ab
sorb any of it.
He told how the devil had laid in wait
for Noah 'when the -world was purified by
the flood and there was nothing left for
the devil to work on except Noah and his
family. How Noah had raised a vineyard
and the devil had fertilized it with the
blood of a sheep, a monkey, a lion and a
hog. How the vines grew and Noah had
drunk himself into shame to the joy of the
devil. Tracing this up, Mr. Small cleverly
described the four stages of drunkenness
in the man showing how the blood of the
animals had gone through the value and
into the man.
First the sheep stage where the devil
pulled the wool over the eyes of innocence
after the first drink and the young man
of its former proportions, while in cities
of the second and third class the ocupation
of the police authorities is practically
gone. These suggestive and convincing
facts appealed alike to the reason and the
conscience of the people. They have re
conciled those who doubted the shocks and
silenced those who opposed the policy of
prohibiting the liquor traffic.
CORRUPTING THE BALLOT.
The Morning Telegraph contains an em
phatic and official denial of the statement
published in the Atlanta Journal that the
prohibitionists were paying the taxes of
any voters who would vote for prohibi
tion, just as the anti-prohibitionists were
paying the taxes of the negroes whom they
were inducing to register. The -article
Igoes on to give a plain account of the oc
curences which have taken place in the
office of the tax collestor for the last three
weeks. It declares that if the prohibition
ists had resorted to the methods which the.
iwhisky men have adopted in order to
carry this campaign they would have been
denounced by every paper in the city, boy
cotted Iby every decent man and woman,
and possibly handled by an indignant
mob, and appeals to the free and inteli
gent people of Bibb county to rebuke these
(methods. f)
If you read this paper before 6 o’clock
you dan still register.

Always Lead
Shrewd buyers and lovers of Bargains to this
store. We are always busy. We attribute this
to our wonderfully Low Prices for all classes of

cheap, sold at prices to suit the times, sold at
prices to match four cent cotton, sold at such
Low Prices that will come within the reach of
everybody. This is the main secret that keeps
this store always crowded. We believe in a
live, hustling, rushing business, small profits
and big sales. ’Tis better to sell SIOO at a profit
of 10 per cent than it is to sell $25 at 35 per
cent profit.
