ON THE ISSUE
Prohibition Would
Injure Business and In
crease Taxes.
WEttl AT THE ACADEMf,
Strong Argument to Show the Im
practicJ; ■, of the Prohibition
Proposition and Its Unwisdom.
Following wo* the speech delivered by
Major J. F. HantOD at the meeting of Ma
con businctw men held in the Academy of
Music lax! night:
My fellow citizens, I did not know un
til after I went hbrne tonight that 1 was
♦•xj>ect<-<i to make anything like a speech
on rhb- o>'-anion. Consequently, I am not
prepared to do justice to the subject or to
myself. I may, however, accomplish all
that 1 could have axxtnnplished by a day
of preparation if I make a plain, simple
statement of fact*, giving a tew illustra
tions to show that the business men of this
■ommunity have a right to be alarmed for
it- future md rheir interest in that future,
provided tne prohibi lionirita are successful
in Un* (otuiug elation.
"Now, if ninety-nine men out of a hun
dred and I claim that there ninety-nine
men out of a hundred in this city who
never drink to excess. (Cheers.) If nine
ty nine men out of a hundred indulge in
alcohol as a matter of necessity or as a
matter of choice, I care not. which-, for I
take a drink whenever I want it, and one
man in a hundred cannot touch it without
abusing it or getting drunk, without act
ing the brute, will you deprive tile ninety
njjie of the benefit there is in it, or the
pleasure there is in it, because that one
f man abuses it? That is the doctrine of
prohibition practically.
"Apply that rule to the other evils that
exist. 1 admit that there are evils grow
ing out of the liquor traffic, as .there are
out of drinking water and eating. Lay
down the proposition for every pleasure in
which the human nice indulges and one
man in a hundred abuses it; what will be
the result? Is it. fair to prohibit you from
taking a drink because I make a brute
of myself? Is it fair to prohibit nmrriage
because one couple in a hundred are un
faithful?
"It is only a few days since the hon
orable body of one of the churches depos
ed a. minister for Immoral conduct—and
you all know what that means when ap
plied to a pre.teher. Is that any reason
why von should apply a dractic remedy to
ill the rest of the preachers? I venture .to
.suggest, if the rule of the prohibitionists
were applied in this way, many of our
’’raveling evangelists would be affected.
"One .man goes upon the streets with
his gu’l and shoots his fellow-man. "bhen
ere you vfOjng to prohibit the sale of guns
and pistols, .and prevent anybody from
owning such <rr ammunition for them?
‘'Prohibition In theory is absurd. In
practice it has beep everywhere a fail
ure. (Cheers.)
"I am not here to dbusc anybody. for I
.mi not m evangelist. 1 have friends, and
i»ptny friendo. who are prohitrttsonists. 1
have . aid nothing during the progress of
Shis campaign that would offend or wound
any of them. I have no desire to do so.
"I abhor these prohibition contests 'be
cause they have a trail of elime and filth
like the trail of a serpent wherever they
have taken place. (Cheers.)
" \nd whatever the result of this contest
■may lie. the divisions that have .been made
tin this community will live to rankle in
t'tr breasts of its citizens for years and
years to come. Now. my fellow-citizens,
hundreds of good people have been assem
bling over here in the so-called gospel
twit daily and nightly for weeks and weeks
arguing to convince themselves and to
convince the people of this community and
this state that temperance is a good thing.
Does anybody deny it?'
*'l ask you, on my record among my
neighbors. am I an intemperate man? If
1 refuse to join the crusade that limits the
Tights of men. that vitally affects the pe
cuniary interest of every citizen of this
community. Is there any reason for classi
fying me among the friends of drunken
ness? Think of it!
"This shows not only the weakness in
('he movement, but also of the men repre
senting it.
"Now, we will suppose you to be ptnhi
bitionists, my friends, and you will say
that I am a friend of drunkenness unless 1
agree with you. This doctrine is taught
by inference if not actually. This is what
they argue at the tent, I understand. I
•have no attended any of their meetings
and do not know personally anything they
have said, but from what reports I have
heard and seen, this seems to l>e the trend
of their argument.
“A number of benevolent, wealthy and
pious mon got together in the city of New
York and appointed a committee tb take
tip this Whole question of the liquor traffic,
ami hxrk into the oppressive legislation
against it. Tin \ made an exhaustive ex
amination into the whole subject. and
h «ve made a clear report that the law was
no ♦. only a failure in so far as it did not
prohil^ l the traffic and evils of it. but
also ,Aeosuse they raise up a generation of
men t ’I IO regard the law as a joke, and
who vitdate it without any compunctions
of consci'enee whatever. Ami that com
mittee sai.T '-hat in the state of Maine, as
determined mon absolute investigation,
after forty .years pf prohibition, there
were, as 1 remember. 182 open saloons in
the state."
In referring to the telegram that had
been sent from -Griffin. Major Hanson said
that a gentleman living here who formerly
Jived in Griffin, had told him that illicit
distilleries are eprngng up all over the
county of Spalding.
"Illicit, distilling and prohibition have
always gone hand in hand, and their nat
ural product is the blind tiger. (Cheers.)
"It is no pleasure to me whatever to
say anything on this subject, either by
-way -of ridicule or otherwise, that would
offend or wound any man in this commu
nity. Ixwiking at this question a<s a prac
tical man. for I have never in trying to de
termine any question, pre-supposed a state
of facts that do not exist, and never did
and never will exist. We are plain, prac
tical. everyday people, who labor for the
support and protection of our families, and
we cannot afford o indulge in that sort of
business. We have to stay here and work
nnd struggle for a living, and I leave you
to say whether or not it lies in the mouth
of any man to advocate anything that will
add to these burdens.
"I am here to pledge my business judg
ment. and I want you to record me upon
It. that if this county goes prohibition for
the next year and the year after that for
it will go the other way after you have
tried it—l want to go upon record on the
prediction that if this county go’s for pro
hibition. your real estate, already dead,
will be still deader than it is. Why do I
gay this?
"Government is a practical affair. I
have had occasion to say this from the
platform before that it is nothing store
nor less than business upon a large scale.
Now, prohibit the legalized whisky traffic
in this country, and what is the first re
sult?
"Does any man deny that the city of
M- **>n will lose at the first stroke $35,000
o . $40,000 a year in revenue? Whatever
men may say who are Imported here to
practice their profession of agitators. I say

You cannot reformfa man by votes; nor
by denunciation or j black-guard. There te
•but one great of reform, and that
in moral or social (suasion. (Cheers.)
"While I am opAx'sed to all sumptuary
reforms, it would different if this was
a national issue iristead of a local ques
tion. Suppose you were to close up all the
liquor stores in M a v >n - You will vacate in
storer. and resident*-* somewhere from fifty
to one hundred bu|ildings in this city. You
shut off the tnconje of the owner, stop the
employment of nien who follow it. You
■may say it is leJ timate or not. I am not
arguing on that ’'ground solely. I am ar
guing it on busKniws as well as other
grounclti. I no reason why this city
should stand that loss, t specially when we
know that the evils of intemperance will
go on. You will fee more drunken men in
the next two yeaks than in the last two.
(Exclamations of . approval.) While this
drunkenness goes On who gets the profit on
the traffic? They will take all the money
now spent for whisky and send it to Bal
timore or Nashville or Atlanta or some
other community that has either tried this
experiment or else js too wise to be pulled
into it at all. We «tand the expense and
they make the profit on the traffic. If it
were a national issue, and the prohibi
tionists were just, if it carries at all, I
would see it carried nationally and not by
states. When that is done the profits of
the business will be wiped out everywhere,
and one locality whose peo>ple can see a
thing that is as plain as the nose on the
face won’t reap*the benefits from another
community, where fanaticism or sentiment
puts them in the fix where such advantage
can be taken.
"There is one industry in this city that
is employing as large amount of capital
and as large amount of labor and is run
ning just as legitimate a business as the
cotton mills I am managing. I allude to
the brewery. I ASK IF IT IS RIGHT TO
CONFISCATE THAT PROPERTY? Is it
fair, is it right, is it just? You have got
just as much right to prohibit cotton spin
ning. I have no stock in the brewery. I
have no interest, in it, except such interest
as every citizen ought to have in every
enterprise that promofes the prosperity oT
the community. That brewery has saved
this town an immense amount of money.
"You used to send away to Milwaukee
and St, Louis for carload after carload of
beer, and that is at home. There
used to be ten drunken men in Macon
where there js one now. although the pop
ulation was much less. That is in my judg
ment. I have no statistics on the subject
But It. is my opinion from what I have
seen. The, large amount of beer that is
consumed in this community is responsi
ble to a large extent for the decrease in
drunkenness. That brewery would be a
credit to any town of one hundred thousand
people in this country, And yet these pro
hibit (onifts rise up here and appeal to the
sentiment of people to confiscate the
money invested In that enterprise. That is
not right pr just.
"There is apt a community in this state,
or in any other gtate that I know of at
present that is not teaching out by every
possible means for capitalists to come into
Its midst to invest in various enterprises,
so people can be employed there to rent
houses, to buy clothing and in other ways
help support the town.
"We all want to «ee Macon prosper.
Leaving put <the question of sentiment be
tween the prohibitionists and antis, the
prohibitionists vote to get rid of the rev
enue from the sale without getting r'cl of
the eale or i'ts evils. Keep that before you
all the time. Do you suppose you will ever
imince anybody to invest s dollar in this
cot 1 oration, wjtere your rate of taxation
can effect them? (Cheers.) I wifi tell you
at a man who hqs had some experience in
trying lo raise money for various purposes
you are making a great mistake. But I
don’t believe 'they are going to beat us.
(Cheers.) I have never Been the farces
that are opposing prohibition defeated in
this county. (Cheers.) You are not going
to be defeated if you do your duty. I will
tell you where the only danger lies. They
are going to try to put the women in this
town between them and defeat. I would
not advise any man to treat any woman
disrespectfully—no. don’t do that —But I
tell you that if all the women In Macon
form in front of the polling places, if God
gives me strength, I Intend to go and vote
against prohibition. The best years of my
life have been spent here.
"I was not like my friend Smith, born
here, but I have lived here the best part of
my days, and I not only expect to be
buried here, as he says he will be, but I
will die here, if God will allow me to be
brought back in time, in case I should
grow sick away from here.
“I am going to vote against prohibition
because I LOVE THIS CITY.
"I am as thoroughly aroused as my
friend W. G. Solomon is on this question.
I will exercise every legitimate influence
that I can to beat prohibition. I am a free
man. I am- talking only to free men. And
I warn you tonight of your duty. Don’t
insult the women. But vote, for they have
no right to intimidate you. (A voice in
the back of the house: "You can brush
them aside, can’t you?") It is the duty of
the 'mayor to keep the way to the polls
open, against all comer*, male or female.
(Cheers.)
“A woman cannot use her sex to de
prive you of the right, to vote upon a
question that affects your prospertiy and
your interest and the support of your fam
ily. and no matter what is said, call upon
the mayor to clear the way and then go
and east your ballot for the side on which
your interest lies. (Cheers.) Do this to
how your devotion IP th* 1 city
y> if." (Cheers.)

MR ON EXPRESS
COMPANIES,
An Effort is Being Made to
Force Them to Pay the
War Stamp Tax.
N, 1, MERCHANTS AROUSED,
“Packing Companies” to Be Organ
ized Throughout Country to Take
Place of Express Companies.
By Associated Press.
St. Louis. Nov 30—Mr. William R. Cor
wine, of the Merchants Association of New
York, who is in the city attending the
Merchants anti-Scalping conference In an
interview tells of the crusade being made
in New York to compel the express com
panies to pay the war stamp tax imposed
by the present revenue laws.
"In addition to the taking of the ques
tion into the courts, Mr. Corwine eaid,
"the association proposes to introduce a
bill in the legislature this winter—and to
fight it to a finish —to place the express
companies under the control of the rail
road commission of New York state and
rt gulate their charges. This fight will be
a very bitter one. The Merchant Associa
tion. proposes to obtain the co-operation of
every manufacturer and every merchant
in the state of New York and through
them, to appeal to the members of the
senate, and assembly through their respec
tive districts to support this movement.”
Efforts are being made -to inaugurate
similar movements In other states.
Mr. Corwine says that a project is being
pushed rapidly for the organization in the
large cities of the country of packing com
panies, so called, to virtually take the
place of the express companies. This is
being done, he says, not for the purpose
of making money but to save it for mer
chants and others all over the country
«ho are paying excessive express charges.
It is the purpose of tnese packing com
panies to accept packages for shipment.
These will be placed in large oases and
sent to their destination by fast freight at
about the same time made by express
companies and at about half the cost.

MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 30 1898.
BIG RAILROAD SUIT.
Stockholders Who Believe Their Proper!)
Has Been Mismanaged.
1 By Associated Press.
New York. Nov. 30—John E. Berwind
has brought suit on behalf o himself and
all other stockholders of the Sorth Star
Construction Company similarly situated
against the Canadian Pacific railway, the
i Duluth, South Shore and Atlantic Railway
Company and William C. Vanhorne to
compel them to make an accounting of thd
management of, the North Star Construc
tion Company and other companies under
its control and to pay over all profits and
proceeds resulting from such management.
The complaint was filed in the clerks of
fice of the United States circuit court for
thie district today. In it the plaintiff, w’ho
says he Is the owner of twenty-five shares
of the capital stock of the North Star Con
struction Company, recites in full the his
tory of the corporation which was formed
under the laws of the state of New Jersey
in 1888 for the purpose of constructing the
Duluth and Winnepeg railroad in the state
of Minmesota. Payment for this work was
to be made in bonds and stock of the rail
road. In the fall of 1892 a majority of the
stock of the Construction Company was
sold to the Canadian Pacific Railway Com
pany through William C. Vanhorne. presi
dent of the Canadian Pacific Company, and
it is alleged that Van home agreed to pay
the debts of the Construction Company
and hold the stock of that company until
bonds could be marketed to pay this in
debtedness. The transfer was made in
January, 1893. and a promissory note for
the sum of $710,000 was given by the
Construction Company, which also gave as
security all its assets, including bonds and
stock of the Duluth and Winnepeg Rail
way Company, the North Star Iron Com
pany and the Duluth and 'Winnepeg Ter
minal Company.
It is alleged in the complaint that the
defendants permitted the business of the
railroad company to become impaired and
in November. 1894 a demand was made on
the Construction Company for payment of
the note, in violation of the stipulated
agreement to hold the stock. The com
plaint alleges that the board of directors
of the Construction Company, elected
•through the influence of the Canadian Pa
cific Company stated tnat they could not
pay the note and all of tne securities were
sold and bought in again by a representa
tive of the defendants and al prices al
leged to be far below their real value. The
Duluth and Winnepeg road, it is further
stated, was bought in under foreclosure
proceedings and the plaintiff claims that
he and other minority stockholders were
shutout. The plaintiff claims further that
these sales realized more than sufficient
to pay the entire indebtedness of the
North Star Cbnsbrudfcion Company and to
pay the stockholders of that company
more than the par value of the stock held
by them.

PECULIAR LEGAL POINT.
Employe of a State Institution Cannot Be
Subjected to Garnishment.
By Associated Press.
Kanakakee, 111.. Nov. 30—Judge Morner,
of the probate court decided a peculiar
legal point in holding that the treasurer
of the board of trustees of state institu
tions cannot be garnisheed. The case is
one in which a Chicago wholesale grocery
firm obtained a judgment against Henry
Gibbs, an employe of the Kanakakee hos
pital and the treasurer decided to fight the
case when the garnishment papers were
served.
The attorney for the Chicago firm con
tended that the trustees were not a ’muni
cipal corporation, that a garnishment pro
ceeding was a suit and that the statute is
broad enough to permit garnishment pro
ceedings to be brought against them or
their treasurer.
Attorney Campbell for the state pleided
that the board was a municipal corpora
tion and its officers exercised public func
tions and that the capacity to be sued as
conferred by the statute upon public cor
porations does not embrace the capacity
to be. garnished. He further contended
that the board is a part of the government
of the state and therefore exempt from
garnishment.
The judge sustained the latter conten
tion,
