"BLACK HEELS ONWHiTE NECKS" The Anti-Saloon League Is sues an Address. SOME FACTS ANO FIGURES Liquor Traffic Charged With Cheat ing County Treasury With Il legal Registration, The Anti-Saloon Leagu? of Bibb county i having dec Mid not to contest the prohibi tion election account of the defective provisions for such contests in the local option law, .have instructed the commit t<o of one hundred named below to issue the following address: “The facta herein stated are known to hundreds of eye witnesses who remained at the voting precincts on the election day; iml to thousands who attended such pre rincts during a 'portion of that day. It would, therefore, be unneceesary to pub lish tht in as information to the people of • this county; hut we believe that these ' i.H’ts are of great concern to the people of ! the state at large, and especially to the mem-bens of the general 'assembly, as they | bear upon matters which are now rcceiv- j Ing the attention of that body. In this address we state no facts that we believe can reasonably be made the Hirbfect of any controversy, and we set forth only such figures as we believe to be indisputable, after the most careful veri fication in our power. THE ANTI-PROHIBITION MAJORITY IN THE ELECTION ON DECEMBER IST IS A NEGRO MAJORITY. The election i.nquesi ioably defined the fd'ualion in this county, and disclosed tn? I true relation of .the iiquor traffic to ths people. In order to obtain the evidence of the truth of the statement above made it was necessary first to comp-are the list of vo ters returned by the election managers with the registration lists. This involved very great labor and occupied a week. This examination shows the total number of ne gro votes oast in the recent election to bo 1,755. The negro prohibition workers at the various precincts have carefully gone through the lists to obtain the number of rolor* d voters voting 'the prohibition ticket. We have no desire or purpose to minimize this number. We believe that, the best I citizen of the colored race—‘those who had - property and an interest in 'the 'welfare of the community—in the main sympathized with the prohibition side. Unquestionably I the leading preachers of the gospel worked ! i ind spoke in behalf of prohibition. 'But a | i \ireful canvass of the voting list by those I ; whoso knowledge of the negro voters en- i able them ito state the facts above that of j ■ho 'total negro vote only 125 votes were , -ast for prohibition. This leaves for the negro anti-prohibi- • ion vote 1,630, which exceeds the white inti-prohibition vote 531. Therefore, the < oral anti-prohibition veto being 2,729, the ; fact is setlled beyond dispute that the i • lection was controlled by a negro majori- < |ty. the anti-prohibition majority being 51,303, and the anti-prohibition negro vote 1,630.

If this proposition is denied we now offer to divide the expense with the opposition fide of ah impartial committee, each side to select one and those two a third, who . will go carefully through the voters' list j id the registration list and settle the ; „ tier by joint report. 11 - the city of Columbus, the only city in . .

PURCHASABLE VOTE CONTRAVENE AND NULLIFY THE ESTABLISHED POLICY OF THE PEOPLE OF’ GEORGIA WITH REFERENCE TO THVT TRAF [ FTC? | THIS NEGRO MAJORITY WAS SE ; CURED BY ILLEGAL REGISTRATION i AND FRAUDULENT VOTING. | Up to rhe congressional election the to , <tal negro registration was 164. The total i white rogietnation was, in round numbers , I 2,600. Between that date and November 16th. (the close of the registration for the local opt on election) the negro registration was increased by’ 2,070 an increase of 1,262 per cent; while the white registration was in creased about 1,527, an increase of 60 per cent. This phenomenal negro registration was carrif’d on as follows: Workers were hired by the iiquor men and sent out into the by ways and hedges to bring in negroes to .the registration office. The busmese Was done in such a wholesale way that it 1 was Impracticable to pay the taxc« of the voters by retail. Hence the agent of the liquor traffic stationed In the tax collec tor’s office, and who remained there dur ing the whole period of registration, would direct the tax collector -to Isstle the tax re ( ceipts when the negro voters were regis- Tatk>e receipts were placd on a book ar.d deh night the whole job lot was cashed by the liquor men who retained the receipts. Among these lists of voters thus registered our committee and workers as certained that about 273 were on the 'list of convicts for larceny ad ocher offenses, and that in all over 600 were illegally reg ister! 1 on account of false statements as to age, residence, citizenship in the coun ty and as to the payment of taxes in other counties from which -they claimed to . have come. IN THIS CONNECTION WE WISH TO j CALL ATTENTION TO THE FACT THAT jTHE LIQUOR TRAFFIC NOT ONLY i !PERPETRATED A FRAUD UPON THE ' BALLOT BY THIS ILLEGAL REGIS TRATION. BUT A FRAUD UPON THE I TREASURY OF THE STATE AND COUN TY IN THE DECEPTION PRACTICED AS TO AGE OF VOTERS AND THEIR ALLEGED PREVIOUS PAYMENT OF TAXES. WE ASK ATTENTION TO THIS AS A NEW PHASE OF TAX DODGING. FOR INSTANCE AS TO THE AGE OF VOTERS, WE BEG THE PUBLIC TO NOTE THESE AMAZING FACTS: There were registered in the Lower City district 615 negroes. Os these 238 were registered as 21 years old and 60 as 22 years old (at either of these ages the voter was not required to pay taxes.) In the same district there were registered 949 whites, of whom only 67 were 21 years old and only 33 were 22 years old. The entire colored registration amount ed to 2,174. Os these 555 were 21 years old, 158 were 22 years of age: a total of 713 out of 2,174. The entire white registration was I 3.572: yet out of this total —nearly double j the colored registration only 344 were 21 ! years cld. It will be noticed that the number of 21- year-old registered negroes in the Lower City district alone lack only six of fur nishing as many 21-year-old voters as the entire white registration in the count;’. These figures are too significant to re quire comment. They are illustrated, however, by such special incidents as the following: Jones and Will Zeigler were persuaded to register. Afterwards their mothers brought them to the registration office stating that they were only 17 and j a-Ked that they be taken off the list. George Hart, while intoxicated, was : registered as 21 —his true age being 39. i ■'Vhen he sobered un he slated the real fact to his age, and his name was stricken on his own motion. 7be astonishing figures above gi .’t n can culy be explained by showing that these i 21-year-old negroes ranged all the way I from IT to 39, in numerous cases that were i detected and in many that could not be. ' And they shew that by repre®entiag ihe 1 voter as 21 ti e liquor traffic was evading 1 the payment of taxes that would have been j due upon disclosure of the real age of ’ those over 21. h Another traud upon the public treasury r.as committed by the pretense made in hundreds of cates that the negroes had re cently come to ißibb from other counties .iiid had paid Hicir taxes in such counties. , V> e sent out reliable persons to these ! otter counties who examined tne tax ’ books and found these statements to he false. About 309 such oases of illegal reg i-tration wero found —showing not only a fraud upon Gif ballot but a fraud uncn the j pul lie treasury. After the clo*e of the ”egi'irati?n the i registers were busy for about a we .k upon I t’ceii own examination of the rosristeaaon J list comuared v 'th the tax books. AJ ttcugh earmstls’ requested by the counsel so- the Anti Sa’oor League co give the earliest pos? ‘■'le epnortut.'ty lor a hearing in tl.ese cases, they only began sum roar ings on the 22nd of November and silted tl at they were conroelkd to clo®e them: i on the 26th —;hi« affording only diys (a public boiio.iy intervening) foi the work of purging the registrator i’.s’,. They m fact rejected onlv about ih.rty-five cases —having io a leouate time xn con sider the 609 3" more cas-'S whi o h might hi ve been brought before mem if oppor tunity had ex.sted. We respectfully tail the atention of rhe General Assemble to> this serious g fimency in th.? provisions of ; the registra.ion law. Warrants w-ere sworn out for many of these persons thus illegally registered: many of which were served upon the par ties. The undoubted effect of these pros ecutions—the natural, just and legitimate | effect —was to deter such persons from at- | tempting to vote and also to deter others , who were conscious that they had violated : I the law by illegal registration from at- I ! tempting to vote. We have the most am i pie and satisfactory evidence that many of i these illegally registered voters determined not to vote, and stayed away from the , polk; but the figures above set forth as I to the total negro vote shows that in many cases of absentee other persons voted un der their names. Tibs brings us to the next point to be | I covered by their statement: the Process of illegal regis ! TRATION WAS FOLLOWED ON ELEC ! TION DAY BY OPEN AND NOTORIOUS REPEATING OF VOTERS: AND BY THIS MEANS NAMES OF ILLEGALLY REGISTERED VOTERS WERE MADE AVAILABLE WHETHER THE PERSONS SO REGISTERING VOTED THEM OR ' NOT. The prohibitionists were not unpre , pared for this device of r:t •• ng,. We • were aware that the prosecutions insti tuted against persons illegally registered »I had properly and rightfully deterred many s * of them'from casting their votes: but in ' view of the fact that the tax receipts had been held by the liquor they were » 1 prepared to utilize these names by other I negroes who by reason of their not being. generally known could be voted in any ’ name they might temporarily assume. In anticipation of this fraud we ar- I . • . • MACON NEWS 7U7trEVENING. DECEMBER 13’898. ■ I race*.*! on tut day before the tieCk..on iur. a ■ 1 number of coursers to follow these re -1 | pesters. As the negro voters were driven from precinct to precinct in wagons they i were followed by these couriers; but as ! soon a.- they ascertained that they were followed they would alight and disperse 1 themselves among the crowd around the ; polls and thus practically escape detection Ito a large extent. Nothing need be said !as to the difficulty of catching up with and. exposing the repeating under such circumstances practiced by this class of voters. We are unable to say with any accuracy how much of such repeating was done; but bat it was done at all the city ■ election precincts and as long as they were opened can be substantiated by the tseti- . mony of hundreds of eye witnesses. I Ac an evidence of this process of repeat -1 ing it was noted at the court house pre ; cinct in the afternoon when various coler i ed voters alleged to be from the country j districts were being voted that the repre- ■ sentative of the liquor side did not wait ; for such negroes to give their names, but | called them out as the negroes approached. Protests wer made against this but with i out avail, When such pegrpes w§re asked ! by the manager 6n what place they lived j in >the country they were unable to say • but frequently answered “on sister’s I place, or some other evasive reply. THE ILLEGAL METHODS ABOVE SET • FORTH WERE AIDED AND ABETTED Ry THE PARTISANSHIP OF THE CITY , GOVERNMENT. THE ELECTION j BROUGHT OI T INTO BOLD RELIEF < THE SOLIDARITY OF’ THE MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION OF MACON AND THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC. j Some years ago the citizens of Macon 1 undertook a movement for purification of I local politics under the name of the “Good I Government Club.” Although their plat , form contained nothing about ‘the liquor traffic, yet they found that this traffic i was solid against the movement. In this election the citizens undertook a movement for the removal of the liquor traffic —a movement in which the munici pal administration was not necessarily involved: but even before the campaign was fairly opened it was discovered that the administration with a few honorable exceptions was practically solid against the movement. These two facts put together remind one of the proverb “scratch a Cossack; you ' find a Tartar." It seems that you cannot touch either the administration of the liquor traffic without touching both. The partisanship of the administration against the movement was shown both during its progress and on <the election day. Prohibition workers were sent out as the registration progressed to ascertain th"? truth o-f the facts stated by various per sons as to their age, residence, etc. The very object of the registration law in re quiring these particulars to be stated was to enable any persons who had an interest in the purity of elections to trace the cases of illegal registration: but io two eases the workers engaged, although not guilty of any conduct complained of by the persons visited were followed and ar rested by city detectives under the tramp ed up charge of disorderly cond'aet. On election day two persons called at tention to voters who hacf voted previbirsly 1 at another precinct, and were in the act ! of casting a second ballot, as a result of 1 this effort on their part to check illegal | voting—when the police failed to inter- j sere as requested, and when they them- j celves attempted to prevent it —they were i arrsted instead of the rpeaters. On the election day the city officials ; were among the most active of the lead’ens ! and manipulators on the whisky side: ,■ marshalling 'the entire force of city hand's * who for the moment were employed upon' the “public works" of defeating prohibi tion. The conduct of the police in their treat ment of the voters on the opposite sides was complained of as partisan; and as tending to provoke a breach of the peace. THE PEACE OF THE CITY WAS PRE SERVED ON ELCTION DAY BY THE' PRESENCE OF GOOD AND NDBLE WO- I MEN OF MACON AT THE POLLS; AND' BY THAT ALONE. The editor of the Barnesville Gazette was a visitor in .Macon on ejection day;- is disinterested and is not in fact knowir to this committee-. In the current issue of that paper stated: “THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE WILL PROBABLY NEVER SEE A MORE COM PLETE ILLUSTRATION OPT BLACK' HEELS ON WHITE NECKS THAN WAS AFFORDED BY THE LIQUOR ELEMENT IX MACON ON THAT DAY. IT IS WON- j DERFUL THAT ANGLO-SAXON BLOOD i SUBMITTED TO IT;’’ It is indeed wonderful; ancF the only ex planation is to be found in the fact that the presence of the true and noble women, who had gone out to assist their husbands and brothers in the protection of .heir homes from the evils of the saloon was a pledge to peace, which secured the sub mission of the prohibitionists to wrongs which otherwise would have been resented at the cost of blood. In condemning the methods and prac- 1 tices used in this election -to defeat, prohi- ‘ biticn we especially desire to discl&i'm any [ reflection upon many anti-prohibitionists whose integrity and s iaeerity we concede to be equal to all that we claim, for pro- i hibitionists. Many of them are gentlemen who coi>- : demn and deplore the evils of the liquor I traffic, and who sincerely belie-ie that high | license is better remedy •than prohibition. , We do not hold them responsible for the • abuses, the wrongs and the crimes which i have been set forth in this address. Some few of them imagined that they j ’ were the leaders of the anti-prohibition ! cause. These innocent and high minded . ! gentlemen gave directions which they sup- i I posed would be followed by their side; but there were wheels within wheels: and the ; real management of the anti-prohibition . campaign was not. confided to the clean ■ hands of the gentlemen to whom we have j referred. The truth, is. and we trust they J regret the fact with us. that their respec- ■ .ability wss -he Aegis of protection under which these wrongs and crimes were com- I mitred by the allies whose conduct they could not control. They were not respon i sible instance for the forgery commit > ted by the real managers of the liquor side when they seat out in the name of . the prohibition committee a letter address -led to prohibition voters hypocritically ’ styling them “Dear Brother" which of i course would have been thrown out if ; voted since the law requires that such ballots shall read “Against the Sale.” These respectable gentlemen are not re -1 sponsible for such,campaign methods as the drowning of sweet voices of Macon's good women by the ribald negro horde j singing “Pass Around the Bottle and we i will all Take a Drink.” nor for the pro cession which disgraced our streets on rhe • afternoon and evening of t|iat day. The great victory of the campaign—a victory which is won in every local option campaign—was in the division of respon- ■<;' .'..lojn. Eery cr? of the I. voters for prohibition can avowedly i thank God that he is no longer respon . sible for the evils of the borrooms. On the 1 other hand, those who voted for the sale have in substance, if not in form endoreed their names upon every barroom license that shall be issued as the result of their vote. •Another striking development of the campaign is the discovery of an unexpect edly large number of voters who opposed local option but declared themselves in favor of a state prohibitory law. We have carefully treasured the names of those who have so declared themselves and trust that they will have an opportunity at an early day of acting with us in behalf of this measure. It would illustrate the methods of this campaign on both sides if the two parties to the contest would publish their cam paign funds and expenditures. We res pectfully challenge the Anti-Prohibition organization to unite with us in giving to the public this information—both the sources and expenditures of money on both sides. In conclusion we will say that the Anti- Saloon League does not regret the cam paign. 'We know that a tremendous moral power has been built up in this community against the saloon which means its over throw at an early day. We close this address in the language of England’s greatest statesman: “You cannot fight against the -future. Time is on our side. The great social forces that move onward in their might and majesty are arrayed against you. They fight with us. They are marshalled in our support. 'And the banner which we may carry in the fight though at some moment of the struggle it may droop over our sink ing heads, will yet float again in the eye of heaven and will be borne by the firm hands of a rejoicing enlightened people, perhaps not to an easy but to a certain and not distant victory.” C.
