5HALL PROHIBITION STAND?
Whatever side issue may be
pushed into the primary election
Ju ne 4, the real question is shall
the prohibition law stand? The
liquor power is thoroughly or
ganized, bas pleuty of money and
many, hirelings busy talking
about hard times, and folds out
of employment and the decrease
in business. Christian people,
and good citizens who do not
want to see the saloon in charge
of the legislature of Georgia can
not be too activo in seeing that
inert favorable to prohibition arc
nominated.
seek to disguise the issue as
they may, the one supreme ques
tion in the elections in Georgia
in 1908 is, shall the saloon be re
stored to power and cofitrol in
our Bt.ite. Any man for any of
fice depending upon the liquor
pywer for his election will be un
der tl e control of this power if
elected. Pray and vote against
that man.—Wesleyan Christian
Advocate.
MARKETING COTTON, f
The farmer has learned a val
uable lesson in that he has learn
ed to talk fertilizers in the fall
for the spring use, and to talk the,
marketing of cotton in the spring
that, he maf be prepared for his
fall crop, and this is indeed an
advance step. In past yqars the
farmer has not considered tlm
question of fertilizers until the
spring opened, and he was’ready
to begin hauling, and he did not
notice the question of marketing
cotton until his first bale was'
ready to haul to market. This
has robbed the. southern farmer
of millions of dollars, but in the
future things will be changed;
The farmers are discussing now
the fiueetiou of selling this ^ sea
son’s cotton crop. They are pre
paring for it. and the farmer who
does not diversify hie crop will
be considered bv his fellow far
mers as a traitor, a vagabond, a
knave, and not worthy of the re
spect of his neighbors, or even
his wife and children. This may
sound hard, some may think that

TIMELY WARNING
From Mrs. Mary Harris Armor,
State President W. C. T. U.
Eastman, Ga., April 8, 1908.
Dear Comrades:
I am at home once more, feel
ing much.refreshed in body and
soul; better prepared in every
rt’ay to do my work than 1 was
before.
While away 1 visited not only
Philadelphia and Pittsburg, but
numerous other plaoes in Penn
sylvania, also spoke in several
towns in New Jersey a^yl in
Washington. D. 0. Found pro-
hibitipn sentiment very strong
everywhere. I was greeted with
the greatest enthusiasm, and I
fell beautifully and permanently
in love with all.
Found our senators and con
gressmen all right. Mrs. Ellis
said : “You need not worry your
men; Georgia is all right.”
You cannot lmgaine how Geor
gia’s victory has fired the whole
nation with wonder and enthusi
asm and a determination “to go
and do likewise.”
In nearly all mv meetings they
sung the new song “Marching thro
Georgia” with the greatest zest:
‘Ilurrali! Hurrah! We’ve gain
ed the jubilee 1
Hurrah! Hurrah! Columbia
shall be free!
Shout the Dixie chorus from the
mountain to the sea!
America is proud to follow
Georgia!”
The liquor men realize that if
Georgia preserves and enforces
her prohibition law that the doom
of the traffic is sealed. There
fore Georgia will be a storm cen
ter for some time to come. They
have raised a million dollars to
destroy our law, and they find
some men who are for sale. But
thank God the majority of Geor
gians are not on the market. But
we must look alive and watch out
for the Benedict Arnolds and Ju
das Iscariots that stilll lurk in
our midst.
While in Washington I had an
interview with Senator Clay.
He said : “I am alarmed about
Georgia’s prohibition 4aw; the
liquor men are determined to
elect the next legislature, and
the prohibitionists are over-con
fident. We are in great danger;
for Georgia to lose her prohibi
tion law would be the greatest
moral calamity that could befall
the United States.”
We must, see that no man gets
to the next legislature who is
not pledged to stand by the pro
hibition law.
The same God who gave us the
hiw to keep it and us, let us be
willing and ready to be used by
him. “Eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty.” Let every one
of us do our best with voice and
work and orayer to defeat every
man who is not pledged to stand
by the prohibition bill. Continue
to create prohibition sentiment
in every possible way. Hold
public meetings and medal con
tests and push your literature
and press work as if you felt the
whole thing depended on you
Educnte and agitate till the liquor
gang is forever silenced and put.
to shame before the world.
Yours for abiding victory,
Mary Harris Armor.
$i00 Reward, 100.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
Politics and the Legislature.
As in last week’s issne of the
New Era I wish to contribute
something to the general knowl
edge of the clmraoter of our can
didates for this high and respon
sible office.
First. The fitness of a candi
date for this responsible position
should be measured as stated be
fore by hiB integrity more than
by his abilily. We should be
sure not to elect U man who is
impeachable or purchasable. Af
ter you know your candidate is
an honest man we should have
him define his position on the
principal issues before that body,
some of which in this instance,
is prohibition, just election laws,
equalization of the tax law, pro
gressive legislation on the school
laws, liberal, and yet conserva
tive pension laws, the equaliza
tion of all the burdens of the
state and the just distribution of
the public funds, so that every
section of the state shall have its
rights and no more.
The legislator of any section
voted for by the people will re
flect to a great extent the char
acter of the voter; for if you are
willing to vote for a drunkard to
represent you in the legislature
naturally the public will say that
you are not opposed to drunken
ness; if you vote for a man wlm
is compromising in his habits vou
may expect to have your inter
ests compromised; if you vote for
a man who is a failure in his own
affairs you need not expect any
more from him as your represen
tative in the legislature; if you
vote for a mail who speaks evil
of others to you he will aho
tpeakevilof you to others; if
you vote for a man who promises
you some new legislation which,
if enacted, will lighten your bur
dens at the expense of others you
may depend upon it he is trying
to deceive you, for all people
must bear their own burdens.
This is not only according to our
own honest conviction of right
but it is scriptural. Weaie not
cowardly enough in this great,
growing honest people of ours to
want others to bear our burdens
any way, and yet there are some
among us who are not willing to
bear their burdens and are con
stantly trying to shift their bur
dens to the shtulders of others,
and frequently this class of peo
ple ask for office.
Don’t vote for them. They
are not honest. If a candidate
tells you a pointblank lie, above
all things don’t vote for him.
Ask yourself if what they tell
you Is reasonable, and investi
gate and see if what they tell
you is true and measure their fit
ness by what they tell you. If
it is all true they are at least
honest and if sober they are
worthy. On the other hand if
they are drunken and given to
prevarication don’t vote at all
rather than cast your pearls be
fore swine. Voter.
A Common Mistake.

Is Love at First Sight Possible?
Love at first sight makes it
self felt by implanting in each
of two people an intense inter
est for the other—an interest
only at first, occasioned by
some action or manner that
pleases the senses. This in
terest is, of cousse, a form of
love, but not representative of
the passion as it is known gen
erally. There follows in each
a yearning for the society of
the other, and if this is grati
fied love speedily begins to
increase at an alarming pace.
So intense is the interest, and
so quick the growth of love,
that each is ready to say, “1
loved you from the first mo
ment I saw you.”
Yet should circumstances
have torn apart the two whose
first glance so interested each
other the love would have
died ere it was born.
“Is love at first sight possi
ble?” is usually the subject
that interests the maid of ten
der years. Of course it is
possible. But what strikes
one as love at the moment is
more likely to be mere infatu
ation. When the heart is
awakening, young girls are
apt to magnify the merest tri
fles. A tender glance is be
stowed upon them, which
starts a palpitation that dis
turbs the rest, and the maid
asks herself fearfully, “Is it
loye?”
Almost all tilings that are
stated of love are possible,
for, being the greatest thing
in ttye world, its influence is
boundless. It is possible for
one to love at fifteen, and an
other never to feel the same
passion until forty. So much
depends on one having some
one to love, for until the some
one comes whose heart-chords
strike in unison with ours, our
love lies hidden, even from
ourselves.
Love at first sight is rare
and not to be coveted. For
one real case there are a hun
dred false ones, and these
usually result in unfortunate,
hasty marriages. There is
nothing so profitable as real
love, and nothing so expen
sive and disastrous in ks ef
fect as the false.
It is worth our while to
wait years and to suffer, so
that in the end we obtain the
real thing. But rather than
accept that of doubtful quality
it \\tere better to decline and
live in hope.
The next best thing to wis
dom in love affairs is patience.
Love suffers by haste. Lovers
are usually hasty, and it is to
their undoing unless wisdom
comes to them in some shape
or form. Thousands of love
affairs that open in golden
fashion luckily fall to pieces,
failing to stand the test of
time. Time kills them, and
were it not so it would mean
lives spoiled by hasty unions.
Almost every girl has in
her mind a picture of her ideal
man. It may be vague, aud
if she were asked to describe
such a person, probably she
would draw a picture of a
handsome creature loaded
with virtues.
It would be impossible at
first sight to prove that any
man filled an ideal picture, for
half the number of his virtues
could only be found out by
companionship.—Ex.

medium because it is difficult to
circulate without it.
