(Communicated.) f MW, MON ’ 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 am frank to to you that I am opposed to all suAKffuary laws. I don’t believe that any can be worked except from the i'i®Be of a man. (Cheers.) 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.

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. A TEXAS WONDER. Hall’s Great Discovery.

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. O-A-STOZFmk.. Bears die Kind You Have Always Bought 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, CA.JSTOTt.XA..
