4 (Communicated.) 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 said that he proposed to take a drink when he wanted one and still be a gentleman. Next tbe monkey stage where the man made a monkey of himself when tn his cups. Then the lion, where the beast becomes uppermost and the drunkard is a brute thirsting for blood and doing violence*to 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 let-robed wanton of your town. tAnd what 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. • A Thousand Torques.

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.

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. ° -A- s» TO XL x _A_ . Bears the The Kind You Have Always Bort Sis 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.

X JH| 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. c Vv. ss t o th t a .
