Editor Evening News:- Please allow me n few words, (even at lb cents an inch) to express a few xiew.s which 1 felt ‘■tilled upon to pul on paper last night tlfler hearing .Major Hanson's speech at lit. l \ '.idetny of Music. I was glad to see this Business Men' - . and I r>d. oit other have iniTroe.-ii held, for Her yon. there is aomet.li.ing broader and deeper than mere sentiment in this Issue, and I am sure ‘ injimii could be found to pr .nt the * l *S broadest phase and in a ■ Adusdve manner. W The rnertitxg last anight was a “Business Meeting," and it. was worthy of the • me, for never have 1 seen a larger or I ore representative (meeting of business en held to consider any question of pub -3 interest. HKlt was a meeting called for the purpose of getting an expression from the 'business community on the proposition to close siX‘ty-o.ld btisin.es houses of liiis city. As such .it sei lin'd to me to demand our most serious attention and our most emphatic ■protest. 1 care not if the thing sold in those stores is whisky, wine or beer, or that, these .things are sometiimes misused by those who buy them. As the proposition presents itself to me is is merely a question of how and where shall those things be bought. Shall we al low reputable citizens of ortr own com'tnu- Ji'ty to sell them upon the payment of a large license tax. or shall we give this i privilege to people doing business in At lanta or .Milledgeville—or. worse still, turn t.he sale of these commodifies over to, irrespoansibi 1 parties /vho are willing tn defy the law and co duct places that are ■no more to he compared w ith the reputable saloon than a club room Is to be compared with a brothel’. There is noy4ference bePwecn the prohi bifuw.mp! the anti-prohibttlon on the pro position that liquor will r>c bought some where and somehow, though the prohibi tionist asserts that the consumption there of w ill be somewhat rislticed- -how much reduced no mortal man can assume to say. It has been my experience that,the mart who wants whisky miost is the man who ds most Injured by it. and vice versa. Ts he does not very greatly desire it. he is in no . danger from if. But if he must. have it. Die can and w 11 got it somewhere, and all your trouble, your effort to prohibit its use •by him. and unfortunately- others with him. is to no purpose. Why then. T ask. should we deprive fifty, yes even a hun* dred temperate users of whisky, wine or beer, of their rights dn a mistaken. Im practicable effort to control one man who abuses it. I do not ask you to accept this as a nwre theory. Go to the other towns and cities that have tried the ex periment and ask of them. For one drunk ard who has been saved by this process of sumptuary. un-American legislation. 1 will show you a hundred good men who have b.xm ruined m a business way. I ask you il right, is it just to impose such a hardship upon th. many, the very many, for the benefit of the few, I thank God the very few? In what els.? is such a principle of gov ernment applicable? Where. among all our multipu 'ity of laws, do we find one made to operate against the rights and interests of the thousands for the sake of a few score. '< on is wrong in prin- ciple. and in nothing else would it be tol erated. I haw been amused at the tenacity with which our prohibition neighbors have clung to the pistol argument as establish ing the right of the state to enact a pro hibitory measure. They tell you. with an overwhelming air. that if the state has a r ght to prohibit the carrying of concealed weatxms it has a right, to prohibit the sale of whisky. Great heavens, what consis tency. They lose sight of the fact that the state docs not attmept to prohibit the sale of p-.stols. It merely .assumes to regulate the sale. Its only attempt at prohibition 5s with the individual himself. It pro hibits the carrying of that weapon con cealed and it prohibits him from pointing It at another. It docs not and could not as sume to prohibit its sale or ownership. x And thus far and no farther should the ' '. state go with reference to the sale and '• } consumption of whisky—another very dan- j gerous thing when used by a fool. It • nn-’ hoes very properly regulate its sale i the ase interferes with the rights of others I does now go even further—it pro ol the sale of whisky to rihose who I n. if, provided the dealer is given , j - seems to me. fe as far as the ' ‘ should go. When it goes fur- 1 tber it interferes with and punishes inno cent parties, and this no government has the right to do. It i® but a step further to the enactment of even more extreme laws, such, for instance, as those regulat ing the manner of dress or other personal I haoite. God forbid that I should throw an ofo ! stade in the way of the man who would quit the abuse of liquor. 1 know what that abuse it. 1 have suffered from it as few have suffered, .and others have Buffered with me. The one who is now where 1 once was has my sincerest sympathy. No prohibitionist in this community feels for him more than I do, and not one of them would do more to help him stop. I have gone with him throughout the night, pa tiently and cheerfully, in order that I might reason with nim the next day. In all of my experience, I have never yet seen a tai* one of tbese unfortu- , ni -r b> the hand and lead.him back t<r ■i ■ right track- Their cry is, “Oh, Lord, I thank thee I am not as other men are, ...id' jf they will let me I will legislate their faults out of them.” Though I have suffered as I have <tnd though I have seen others puffer, must I | lie so narrow and selfish as to say to you • nip 'rate men, you who do not misuse the bi ..-raae, you must buy your liquor in \tlanta, because if it is sold in Macon I will drink it to excise? No. rather would I _iy I will control myself. I will assert my manhood and I will not tamper with that which I misuse. And let me tell you, prohibitionists and all others, this is -the only practical wort of prohibition. En courage the man who abuses liquor to pass a prohibition law within himself, for him «elf, and you do not need to interfere with ihe rigtbfi of ninety-nine who do not mis use tnis beverage—a beverage given of God, blessed of his Son, partaken of by his sainte, but abused by a few, even ae-: Adam abui.d his privileges in the garden of Eden, and even as the old Adam that is in us causes until this day the abuse and mis use of many of God’s choicest blessings. And I do not except the misuse of our noble women as workers at the polls. But right here, and in conclusion, let me say that I hope every anti-prohibition ist will disappoint the opposition in the treatment accorded these good women at the polls. Show them that respect that is their due. the respect that amounts to ven-* eration. Protect them, as far as you can. from any disorderly scenes or from any thing else that might be embarrassing to a ses-itive lady. Show to them that If others respect them so little as to subject them to this embarrassing ordeal of working at the polls, you, at least, recognize the di vinity of woman and reverence her. even though she be temporarily placed out of her sphere. Business Man. South Macon Dots An Immense audience assembled nt Jones chapel church last night to hear the evangelist. Rev. Sain Small on the subject of prohibition. Mr. Small spoke for one hour and forty minutes, beginning at 8 o’clock. He discussed the subject of pro hibition. principally from a legal stand point ilefining prohibition fully and seem ingly clearly. He told all about the local option law, when it was passed and by whom as will as the number of counties in Georgia that had “gone dry” under pro visions of the law. He explained the ”Mair.e” liquor law, telling when it was passed and that it was passed toy a Demo cratic legislature, sighed by a Democratic governor and.had never been repealed. He paid his respects to the newspapers’ con tributions by ‘'Rittenhouse” and others who had written in the interest of the license aind sale of whisky in Bibb county, in his reference to “Kittenhouse,” Mr. Small introduced him about as follows: “Rittenhouse,” in other words 'Mr. Pendle ton. editor of the Telegraph. Mr. Small read from a book he had with hint sundry passages in relation to the de cisions of the supreme court of Georgia ..tl:o of the supreme court of the United ’S. ne> upon thi subject of prohibition.

ANTIS HAVE SLIPPED AGAIN They Innocently Advise the Business Men to Vote for Prohibition. MAJ. J. E HANSOH, Short on Protection—“ Business” ?? Meeting Last Night Merely an Effort to Break the Force of Adverse Action of Cham ber of Commerce. SENSATION EXTRAORDINARY. There never was a more remarkable piece of verbal legerdemain than that by which the Anti-Prihibition meeting at the Academy of Music last night committed itself unreservedly, though unintentional ly, to the policy of prohibition dn this campaign, and unconsciously advised all of their voters to support the prohibition ticket. They did so in the following language: ATLANTA’S EXPERIENCE IS A PRO PER GUIDE, IN OUR JUDGMENT. FOR THE PEOPLE OF MACON. Now the only way that ithis advice can be properly followed is for Macon high li cense voters to do what has been done in Atlanta. What did Atlanta do? Atlanta adopted local option prohibition; broke the back of the barroom power; and when the liquor traffic was afterwards ad mitted it came back as a suppliant; it came- back tame and humble. It did not try .to play the boss as it has always done in Macon. It knows today that it exists there only by the bare per mission of the people. (Hence it is less defiant of the restrictions that the law throws around it elsewhere. There is no earthly way to get high li cense in Macon except in the same way, that is through prohibition. If the mayor and council had been will ing to propse high license they would in stead of the ridiculous performance of call ing on the prohibitionists to abandon the election, have proposed as a compromise the Atlanta plan, which is a license of a thousand dollars, short hours, no screens, no lunches served with drinking, no lewd pictures on the walls, no gambling over head, no vaudeville attachment. These restrictions cannot be secured in Macon except through preliminary prohi bition. If such restrictions were proposed, the liquor traffic would fight them to the death. Even if such restrictions were en acted into law, the liquor traffic would evade them. Hence, the alleged business men’s meet ing is absolutely on the right line, if they really desire genuine high license re strictions In proposing that' Macon shall get the same way Atlanta got it —that is by tumbling and t.atminX the two- togers O s the liquor traffic; aiid then* should the judgment of good citizens that prohibition was nor™sw—. pable of enforcement or liable to any other objections, then and then .only could real high license toe secured and the policy of rigid restriction have a fair trial in this city. It would then be put upon its good behaviour for fear of its life, and if good behaviour is possiblb to the business, it would then have inducements to practice it whnch it does not now have. HOW AND WHERE To Vote Thursday—Please Read this Carefully. • IMPORTANT CORRECTION. It is claimed that voters of Lower City and .Macon districts cannot vote at court house after their precincts Close. This makes it important for such voters to vote early in the day. The question will be clearly stated in tomorrow’s Telegraph. Look out for it. Dear Sir: No citizen should make a mis take as to his place of voting. For this reason the following information is pub -1 ished: The city is divided into two districts, upper and lower. The line dividing these districts commences at the river on Fourth street, runs up Fourth to Cherry, up Cher ry to Cotton avenue, thence to Spring street, thence up Columbus street to Ogle thorpe street, thence to College street, thence down College street to Boundary. Those living on the north side of this line are in the upper city district, and those south in the lower city district. All citizens of the city of Macon should preferably vote in the district for which they are registered, or they can vote at the court house. TO VOTERS IN THE UPPER CITY DIS TRICT. The voters who live in the upper city district may vote at the court house or at the Second street precinct (which latter is just in the rear of the building occupied by the Macon Telegraph.) These x-oters are requested by the campaign committee to vote at the Second street precinct, in stead of the court hiftise. The reason is that all voters in the Vinevllle district can only vote at the court house, and it is very important to leave the court house precinct open for them. The Second street precinct closes at 2:30 p. m.. city time, and after that hour voters of the upper city district can vote at the court house only, which will close at 5:30, city time. Os course these Instructions should not be literally observed if it resulted in crowding the Second street precinct more than the court house precinct. As the two precincts are' close together, the prohibi tion voters can easily determine at which one they could vote most conveniently; but the probability is that the Second street precinct will be the most convenient. TO VOTERS IN THE LOWER CITY DISTRICT. Voters in the lower city district can vote either at the city hall or Findlay’s foun dry. Both of these precincts close at 2:30 p. m. After that time voters of this district can x’ote at the court house only, which closes at 5:30 p. m.. city time. We also urge voters of this district to vote e-arlx - in the day either at the city hall or Findlay's, instead of the court house, in order to leave the court hpuse open to voters of the Vineville district. TO THE VOTERS OF THE EAST MACON DISTRICT. Voters residing in the East Macon dis trict can vote at their own precinct until 2:30 p. m.. city time, after which they can only vote at the court house. We urge the East Macon voters to vote early at their own precinct rather than at the court house for the reason above mentioned. TO THE VOTERS OF THE GODFREY DISTRICT. Voters in the CX>dfrey district can vote at their own precinct up to 2:30 p. m.. city time. After that hour they can vote ai the MACON NEWS WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 30 rbgb. court house precinct; but for the reason above stated we urge these voters to vote at their own precinct before 2:30 p. m. Please remember not only to vote, but to go to the polls and use your influence for prohibition. Let us all remember that we are not responsible for the result of the whole election; we believe God in His Pro vidence will take care of that; but each voter is individually responsible not only I for his own vote, but for every other voter | that he can touch or influence. The Campaign Committee. PROHIBITIONISTS, BEWARE OF FRAUDULENTLY PRINTED TICKETS. ' SEE THAT YOUR TICKETS AND THE j TICKETS OF OTHERS WHO ARE VOT ING FOR PROHIBITION READS "AGAIN THE SALE.” DO NOT VOTE ANY TICKET READING “AGAINST SA LOONS.” OR “AGAINST BARROOMS,” OR ANY OTHER MISLEADING OR FRAUDULENT DESIGN. OPENING OF THE POLLS. THE COURT HOUSE PRECINCT OPENS AT 6:30 A. M.. CITY TIME. THE OTHER PRECINCTS OPEN AT 7:30 A. M.. CITY TIME. THE MANAGERS AND CLERKS SE LECTED BY AGREEMENT TO REP RESENT OUR SIDE SHOULD BE ON HAND PROMPTLY WITHOI T FAIL. The following poem was read at the pro hibition tent last night going to show that while Major Hanson's great hobby was protection he failed to include in his schedule of protection the homes and fire sides of Macon —our mothers and wives and children.

COLD MEAT WARMED OVER. From the point of view of the prohibi tionists the alleged men’s meeting at -the Academy of Music last night was a fake. Instead of being as it was -advertised a meeting really intended for business men generally, it was in point of fact nothing in, the world but an amti-prohibition meet ing. This was clearly shown by the fact that the gentleman advertised to make the principal -speech has been known in this community ever since he lived here as a pronounced radical -and heated anti-prohi bitionist. A 'number of years ago when the Macon Telegraph was under his management its note was always sounded loudly hostile to prohibition. Therefore to call “a business men's meeting” when it was known that the pro hibitionists had already advertised th'eir meeting for business men and others invited speakers seemed a piece of OPERA BOUFFE. But the most characteristic performance of the meeting was the presentation at. this business meeting of the identical res olutions which had been adopted at the litt’o “.folnet” meeting of the -Chamber of Commerce on evenipg last, and rescinded by a b u ll and representative meeting on -Monday. The committee of fering the resolut i . rr, ;n;. —^rrge^-*—l o change enough of the words to make the resolutions pertinent. Just turn to them and re-adthe sentence in which it is said -to be suitable for THIS ORGANIZATION to express an opinion. The meeting last night was.no organiza tion, no pretense of an organization, and the only “organization” referred to was the Chamber of Commerce which the bus iness men of this community proceeded in the language of the scripture on Monday “to turn up side down.” Odd pieces men’s underwear half price. Clem Phillips. A BACHELOR’S HONEYMOON. The Attraction at the Academy of Music To night. There will be fun, fast and furious at the Academy of ‘Music -tonight. When Warde & Sackett’s -comedians, and the clever farceur, Mr. Walter Baker, pre sent the last Hoyt’s Theater -success, “A Bachelor's Honeymoon.” No play that has been presented of late years 'has re ceived more -praises than this last con tribution from the metropolis. It is a farce in the full meaning of the name, and was written by John Stapleton. It pos tures and is dependent for its fun solely on th plot, the intricate complications and the wit and humor of the dialogue. Ac cording to one description ,“the laughter commences five minutes after the curtain rises and continues unbroken until five minutes -after the curtain falls on the last act.” Produced originally at oyt’s Theatre, New York, it scored a big hit with press and public, which was dupli cated in Philadelphia, Chicago and the Northwest. In the South, Richmond, Nor folk. Knoxville and Nashville have re ceived glimpses of the play and are flat tering in their praises of play and players. Warde & Sackett’s comedians are said to be a company of excellent actors and to fully merit the praises that have been bestowed upon them. Mr. Walter Walker, the star of thee ompany, is a finish artist of long experience and thoroughly adapted’ to high class farce deTienation. For years he was identified with the support of Min nie Palmer and other stage favorites, and has a host of personal friends through the South. Mr. Walker’s support includes Messrs. Emil och, George 'Morehead, !■ rankly-n ill, Frank Ljmden, Miss Annie Dacre, Miss Maud Reams Stover, -Miss Mildred St. Pierre, Miss May Warde and Miss Anne athaway. Miss May Warde is the youngest daughter of the eminent tra gedian and Southern favorite, Mr. Fred erick W arde. She makes her debut with “A Bachelor’s oneymoon.” (Communicated.)

An Interesting Communica tion from Earnest Willie Upshaw. That is a tender, beautiful song—an echo of wartime. The soldier boy tells his mother that he was thinking of her “just before the battle.” Another battle is.on— the citizejis’ battle of ballots tomorrow. And as a comparatively new citizen of Ma con, intending to make this my home for many years, my conscience leads me— compells me to say an earnest word to the young men of Macon, and —those who used to be young. Men honestly differ on this prohibition question, but let every honest, sober man, thinking of voting the anti prohibition ticket, this fact: there are but two sides to this paramount question before us. Shall we have barrooms or no barrooms? No one denies that they do wretched harm. You see around you every day and night the wreckage of char acter and happiness wrought by them. Do you say: ‘‘Of course I am opposed to bar rooms and would vote against them if we could get them cut of every county in Georgia?” You might as well refuse to kill the rattlesnake before your gate until you can kill every snake in Georgia at one blow. The logic is identical. Some honest men are with you, but remember that on the*anti-prohibition side are found the barrooms, the bums, the toughs, the “bad houses” and every impure element in the city. This- is true. It cannot be denied. Think of your mother “just before the battle,” and do not, I beg you, be found on the side of these people and places where you could not carry your mother, your daughter, your wife, your sister. This is not “mere sentiment.” It is heart —it is conscience—it is sober, common sense. Remember too, that on the night of De cember Ist your vote will be found in the box right by »he side of the ballots of bar keepers, drunken white men and drunken negroes and “Only the Master who knoweth all Can tell the two apart,” and He will mark no difference, I think. Will you be found on the side of the carousing soldier, the saloon keepers that gladly sell them, and all these wretched places that drag our young men down? or on the side of the 1700 Christian women who sent that ignored petition to the mayor—yes, and on the side of the church es. Wesleyan, Mercer and all that would lift humanity upward? There is but one crowning issue—bar j-ooms or no barrooms? God help you to vote tomorrow with the pure and the good, with whom you hope to spend eternity. Yours in Earnest, Willie D. Upshaw. Mercer University. MR.
