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. I

We are not -able to certify that the
'figures are accurate to a point of absolute
’precision: for the reason that there are
difficulties in .tracing names from the
voters’ list to the registration list, but we
affirm with the assurance of certainty the
main point of the present contention,
namely, that the majority of the anti
prohibition vote is a negro majority. 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.

| 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-

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.”
