The Great Destroyer.
“Prisoner at the bar, have you
anything to say why sentence of
death should not be passed upon
you?”
A solemn hush fell over the crowd
ed courtroom, and every person
waited in almost breathless expects
tion for an answer to the judge’s
question.
Will the prisoner answer? Is
there nothing that will make him
show signs of emotion? Will he
maintain the cold, indifferent atti
tude he has shown through the long
trial, even to the place of execution?
Such were the questions that passed
through the minds of those who had
followed the case from day to day.
The judge still waited in dignified
silence. Not a whisper was heard
anywhere, and the situation had be
come painfully oppressive, when the
prisoner was seen to move. His
head raised, his hands were clinched*
and the blood had rushed into his
pale, careworn face, his teeth were
firmly set, and into his haggard eyes
came a flash of light. Suddenly ha
arose to his feet, and in a low, firm,
but distinct voice said:
“I have. Your honor, you have
asked me a question, and I now ask
as the last favor on earth, that you
will not interrupt my answer until I
am through,
j “I stand here before this bar oon
! victed of the willful murder of my
wife. Truthful witnesses have testi
i fled to the fact that I was a loafer, a
drunkard, and a wretoh; that I re-
■ turned from one of my long de
bauches and fired the fatal shot that
: killed the wife I had sworn to love,
j cherish, and protect. While I have,
i no remembrance of committing the
fearful, cowardly, and inhuman deed
I have no right to complain or oon-
■ demn the verdict of twelve good 1
men who have acted as jurors in this
cause, for their verdict is in accord
ance with the evidence.
“But may it please the court, I
wish to show the court that I am
not alone responsible for the murder
of my wife!”
This startling statement created a
tremendous ssnsation. The judge
.'uii-qd over the desk, the lawyers
I wheeled" .around and faced the pnson-
I er, the juro’risQooked at eaoh other
in amazement, wifilh the 'spectators ■
could hardly suppress their intense j
excitement. The prisoner paused a
few seconds, and then continued in
the same firm, distinct voice:
“I repeat, your honor, that I am ’
not the only one guilty of the murder
of my wife. Tae judge on this
bench, the jury in the box, the law
yers within this bar, and most of the
witnesses, including the pastor of the.
old church, are also guilty before
Almighty God, and will have to ap
pear with me before the judgment
throne, where we all shall be righte- i
ouely judged.
“If twenty men conspire together,
for the murder of one person, the
law power of this hnd will arrest
the twenty, and each will be tried,
convicted, and executed for the
whole murder, and not one-twentieth
of the crime.
“I have been a drunkard by law.
If it had not been for the legalized
saloons of my town I never would
have become a drunkard; my wife
would not have been murdered; I
would not be here now, ready to be
hurled into eternity. Hid it not
been for the hurnm traps, set out
with the consent of the government,
I would have been a sober man, an
industrious workman, a tender father>
and a loving husband. But to-day
my home is destroyed, my wife mur
dered, my little children—God bless
and care for them—oast on the mercy
of a cold, cruel world, while I am to
be murdered by the strong arm of the
State.
“God knows I tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in I
my pathway, rny weak, diseased will .
power was no match against the I
fearful, consuming, agonizing, appe i
tite for liquor. At last, I sought the
protection, care, and sympathy of
the Church of Jesus Christ; but at
the communion table I received from
the hand of the pastor who sits there,
and who has testified against me in
this case, the enp that contained the
very same alcoholic serpent that is
found in every barroom in the land [
It proved too much for my weak
humanity, and out of that holy place
I rushed to the last debauch that j
ended with the murder of my wife.
“For one year our town was with- ;
out a saloon. For one year I was a
sober man. For one year my wife
and children were supremely happy,
and our little home a perfect para
dise.
“I was one of those who signed
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER. ATLANTA. GA., SEPTEMBER 18. 1896.
remonstrance against reopening the
saloons in our town. The names of
one-half of this jury can be found to
day on the petition certifying to the
good moral character (?) of the rum
sellers, and falsely saying that the
sale of liquor was ‘necessary’ in our
town. The prosecuting attorney in
this case was the one who eloquently
pleaded with this court for the licen
ses, and the judge who sits on this
bench, and who asked me if I had
anything to say before sentence of
death was passed upon me, granted
the license.”
The impassioned words of the
prisoner fell like coals of fire upon
the hearts of those present, and
many of the spectators and some of |
the lawyers were moved to tears.
The judge made amotion asif'to stop
any further speech on the part of
the prisoner, when the speaker hasti
ly said:
“No! no! your honor, do not close
my lips; I am nearly through, and
they are the last words I shall ever
utter on earth,
“I began my downward career at
a saloon bar—legalized and protecte 1
by the voters of this common wealth,
which has received annually a part
of the blood money from the poor,
deluded victims. After the State
has made me a drunkard and a mur
derer, lam taken before another
bar—the bar of justice (?) —by the
same power of law that legalized the
first bar, and now that lav/ power
will conduct mo to the place of exe
cution and hasten my soul into etern
ity. I shall appear before another
bar—the judgment bar of God, and
there you who have legalized the
traffic will have to appear with me.
Ttink you that the Great Judge will
hold me—the the poor, weak, help
less, viotem of your traffio—alone re
sponsible for the murder of my wi e?
Nay; I in my drunken, frenzied, irre
sponsible, condition have murdered
one, but you have deliberatly and
willfully murdered your thousands,
and the murder-mills are in full op.
eration to-day with your consent.
“All of you know in your hearts
that these words of mine are not the
raving of an unsound mind, but God
Almighty’s truth. The liquor traffio
of thia nation is responsible for
nearly all the murders, bloodshed,
riots, poverty, misery, wretchedness, I
and woe. It breaks up thousands ‘
cf happy homes every year, sands
the husband and father to prison or
to the gallows, and drives countless
mothers and little children into the
world to suffer and die. It furnishes
nearly all the criminal business of
this and every other court, and blasts
every community it touches.
“You legal zed the saloons that
made ine a drunkard and a mur- i
derer, and you are guilty with m® !
before God and man for the murder
of my wife.
“Your honor, I am done. I am
now ready to receive my sentence, i
and be led forth to the place of exe- '
cution, and murdered according to |
the laws of this State. You will ;
close by asking the Lord to have I
mercy on my soul. I will close by ■
solemnly asking God to open your I
blind eyes to the truth, to your in- |
dividual responsiblity so that yon
will cease to give your support to
this hell-born traffic —Selected.

There are times when we are all
on the verge of succumbing to the
delusive, but wrong, arguments of
silver tongued “argufiers,” who are
designing upon the pocket books of
the unsuspecting and honest farmers.
The Georgia Buggy Co., located in
Atlanta, Ga., at 39 South Broad Sr.,
has never resorted to the despicable
practice of misrepresenting any thing
they offer, and trying to force it upon
any one. Special attention is called
to the “Owensboro Farm Wagons”
and “Georgia Buggies” the very best
made. They are higher priced than
what eompftitors will say are “just
as good.” You know a good article
costs more than a cheap one, and
your judgment tells which is the best
in the long run. This firm always
“totes” fair with every one, you can
rely on their representations, and
that goes a long way. When you
want a vehicle or wagon call on them
they will make bottom prices and
give you square goods.

THE GEORGIA POPULISTS PLATFORM.
Unanimously Adopted by the i People’s Partv State Convention
of Georgia, August 7, 1896.
1. We endorse tko St. Louis platform.
2. Civilization, to say nothing of religion, has entered up judgment
of condemnation against barrooms. The public conscience revolts at the
license system, which festers the saloon and generates its manifold evils, in
consideration of revenue that pays less than a tithe of the public burdens it
entails. It is non-American, monopolistic and essentially immoral. We
therefore declare for an anti-barroom law which shall make secure the
local prohibition already obtained, abolish the beverage sale of intoxicating
liquors, and provide for the sale for other purposes under public control.
3. The abolition of the present convict lease system which prostitutes
to the greed of private avarice the state’s sovereign rights to punish her
citizens for violation of law. We believe that the state herself should keep
possession of her prisoners and should employ them upon the public roads
and not allow them brought in comp: itiou with free labor, and that
reformatories be established for juvenile criminals.
4. We declare in favor cf improving and extending the public school
system to the end that all our people can receive a good common school
education. We favor the furnishing of primary becks by the state to avoid
the burdens put upon cur people by the frequent changes of text books.
We alsofaver the payment of teachers monttdy.
5. We emphatically condemn the practice, of late becoming so prev
alent, of public officers accepting free passes from railroad corporationsand
franks from telegraph and express companies. We intend this condemna
tion to apply to the executive, legislative and judicial branches of our
national and state government.
6. We condemn lynching and demand of our public servants the
rigid enforcement of our laws against this barbarous practice.
7. Wo demand that all public officers be elected by the people. We
denounce the present system of electing judges and solicitor generals by
the legislature. It fosters and cliques and enables corrupt politicians,
not only to trade and barter political office, but drags the sacred ermine of
the judiciary in the mini and filth of partisan politics. The price of office
in Georgia under Democratic rule in obedience to party masters.
8. We denounce the present fee system and demand that all public
officials where practicable, be placed upon salaries.
9. We declare for a free ballot and a fair count and pledge our
selves to ths enactment of laws securing this to every legal voter.
10. We favor the continuance of pensions to needy and deserving
Confederate soldiers and to the widows of Confederate soldiers.
