Atlanta, December 3.—In at least three
southern states the great issue underlying
all other questions- is that of prohibition
In Alabama loiial contests are in progress
all over the state. EJ yen Mobile, popularly
supposed to be in the pockets of the saloou-
ists, the liquor men have taken alarm, and
are trying to ward off the prohibition issue
by an. appeal to the legislature to impose a
license ot #1000 on every drinking place
This Would protect the gilded resorts and
prohibit the dives. Tne temperance peo
ple, however, propose to force the local
option question there, and have oskod Dr
J. B. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, who is look
ed upon as the apostle of the cause, to visit
them, and open up the eaiupaign. In the
days of his worldly life Hawthorne lived
in Mobile, and took great interest iu ward
politics--hence. there is a double reason
lor wanting him there, as it is believed
that be Can touch the toughs as well as en
thuse the righteous. Several bills are be
fore the Alabama legislature having pro
hibition in view, and they are backed by a
strong prohibition lobby.
IN SOUTH CABOLINA
there is some virulence in the contest.
About three years ago quite a number of
counties and districts adopted prohibition.
A reign of order and brotherly love was
promised, but this promise has not materi
alized. Murders have run rampant, just as
in the days when whisky was sold under
warrant of law. The difliculty of enforcing
the law soon became evident. It was seen
that in a county .where the federal revenue
la ws were dolled a state prohibition law
could have no terrors. In fact the Illicit
distiller welcomed prohibition, for that
amounted to a protective tariff to him.
Nine months ago the bottom dropped out
-of prohibition entirely, und by common
consent in many places the law wus held
iu abeyance. This ularaied the extreme
leaders, and they have begun a new move
ment. In their first contest, just decided
in Spartanburg, the antis won handsome
ly, while another contest is now in pro
gress in Anderson, where foreign speakers
have been called in.
IN OEOBOIA.
In Georgia a man can scarcely be elected
leader in a country school debate until his
position on the dry law is made clear.
From hustings and from pulpits equally
bar-keepers have been denounced, and in
the language of a prominent leader, “the
-doggeries have to go.” Well, the dogger
ies have gone from three-fourths of the
state, and tne Judges and sheriffs draw
their salaries just as usual. W hen Atlanta,
against the votes of her own people,which
were outnumbered by votes from the
country, went dry, it was held that the
danger-line had been passed.
The terrible tragedy in which the Hill
brothers lost their lives bore evidence that
it did not require the opening of the li
censed bar rooms to get liquor. In the
room where the ill-fated men lay dead
-across each other, there was
found a .champaign bottle full of
whisky, and a white bottle one-third full
ratchit ot'thin tropbal c.tltuncs,, nbiut th® hour

burst upon the nir .Ik® tho btum of a powder

Tho Innocent cause of the noise and tho con
sequent dismay was nothing more than an ex
plosion, resulting from the ignited fumes of s
turpentine barrel I3ut just how the barrel was
caused to explode and the amusing Incidents
Business In the Sonth.
Boston Herald,

gether exceptional extent, the advantages
which may urise soon from a groat revival

place in tho south. There has been a
great deal of railroad building, by
which facilities for transportation have
been afforded to large extents of territory
which had previously been but poorly
supplied. The iron, coal and steel indus
tries have undergone au enormous ex
pansion, and in a number of the cities and
towns manufacturing industries of a variety
of kinds have sprung up. The condition of
affairs in the Bouth is gradually assimila-
ting to those in the north, and, as a revival
in business here has almost an intoxicating
effect, so It is not unlikely that the sober
and conservative south will soon find itself
subjected to the exhilarating influence of
limitless speculation.

•of alcohol, diluted with a red liquid aud
flavored. While these men were lying
thus dead in their room, their former slave,
Scott Hill, was being taken to the city
prison, where he died during the day from
the effect of liquor. As a commentary
-upon the “blockade” stuff sold in Atlanta,
it was stated. that Scott Hill had only
drank ouetglass of “domestic" wine! The
next day Mr. Charlie Collins, one of the
inost^proininent iuen iu, Atlanta, went out
driving with a basketful of wine bottles in
the phaton. He was thrown out of the
phuton, but sustained only a slight bruise
on the elbow, yet he died in three hours.
“I do not know what caused his death,”
said his physician, “unless it was the wine
ho drank, which must have been heavily
drugged.” Four dead men in two days is
a rather bad record.
The fact is that liquor may be 1 ad in At
lanta for the asking. There are In the city
forty wine rooms. The wine Bold is gener
ally the vilest kind of compound. It is
noticeable that it doeB not begin to affect j
its victim until about twenty-four hours
after taking, and then it doubles him up in
quick order. There is a drink sold called
agaric, aud great is the exciting power
thereof. A well-known prohibitionist was
induced to driuk a glass of it the other day,
and when asked what it was replied:
“When I used to drink, they called it rye
THE WAV IT IS DONE.
Owing to the great attention drawn to
the jug trains the liquor dealers have re
sorted to various devices. A quart bottle,
for instance, is nicely packed in a box
marked “shoes,” etc. Gentlemen get
-credit for being thought mindful of their
families when seen with one of these de
ceptive boxes under their arm. It is said,
however, that 200 plain jugs were delivered
from the freight offices one day recently.
To offset this the prohibitionists now favor
the closing up of all places which sell any
kind of liquid for beverage, which is in
their power to dp, and to stop the importa
tion of jugH, which will be more difficult
of accomplishment.
THE REMAINDER OF THE STATE.
While 107 counties in Georgia aredry, and
twelve partially so with liquor sold under
license from the state in only seventeen,
there have been issued by the federal re
venue collector 2288 retail liquor licenses.
These licenses relieve the holders from all
fear of the United States, authorities. Al- ,
though 243 illicit distilleries have been |
seized, there are to-day not less than S00 in j
operation, or one illicit still for every 100
voters in the state. Jamaica ginger, and j
numerous medicines,elixirs, bitters, tonics, j
etc., composed for thennost part of distilled :
spirits, are sold as beverages in the dry j
counties. Collector Crenshaw lias lately
instructed hia deputies to collect the spe- ,
cial revenue tax from druggists who sell j
these decoctions, but he finds it difficult to |
draw the line between medicines und
beverages. A curious ease has been re
ported from Brooks county, where Mr.
W. H. Wheeler was charged with retail
ing liquors without a lieeusc. His plea
v/as that his wife had picked a. feiv quarts
of blackberries, mushed the juice out oi
them and made a little blackberry wine,
which he sold to the neighbors and for
church purposes. Now he is in jail tor it.
Is tho President Snperstltlonsl
Now York Sun.
The conclusion can hardly be resisted
that the president is superstitious. Atten
tion has been culled to this from the fact
that he has never yet entered or left the
Baltimore and Potomac depot at the gen - ,
eral entrance through which General Gar- j
field passed on the day he was assassina
ted, nor has he permitted Mrs. Cleveland i
to do so. Just Inside that entrance is a
well worn spot on the floor marked by a |
brass star to indicate the place where Gar
field fell, aud in the wall just above it is a
memorial tablet upon which is inscribed.
“James Abram Garfield, President of the
United States, July 2,1881. Oyer this stai
ned beneath this tablet President Olet e-
laud does not pass. On recent occa
sions he has had the white house
carriage driven to the train yard at
the south end of the depot, where no pru
dent person would permit a spirited horse
to be driven, and by the side of hall a
dozen tracks aud in the midst of switching
engines, has alighted and walked back the
great length of the long depot building to
take the train. Twice recently has Albert,
the White house ooaohman, had great
certain brand of lcor-'ienooll, of which he had
tho exclusive sale, und which he claimed was
non-explosive. Among other means which ho
used to draw attention to the extraordinary qua i-
tics ol his oil, he had caused to bo brought from
his cellar a stout, strong. Iron-bound barrel which
he hod sot on the sidewalk near the front of his
store. On the up-turned end of the barrel ho
poured ills non-explosive oil, and into the oil he
would occasionally dip a lighted paper match,
and in that way was demonstrating to the on
looker the non-explosive quality of his oil. After
repeated experiment* of this nature, however,
the oil, Horn the combined effects of the sun's
rays and the touch of the lighted match, became
sufficiently warmed up to take fire. The experi
menter wai not dismayed at that, however, but
deemed it beat to roll the burning barrel off llie
sidewalk, which he did, knowing that the small
ed men. After walking dotyn the road for
half a mile in silence, one of them ven
tured to relieve his feelings:
“Dot vos a pad man, Isaac.”
“Yes, Moses, dot vos a verry pad man.”
Another half mile and another long
silence: then:
“God vill punish dot man, Isaac.”
“Yes, Moses, God vill punish dot man.”
They trudged on fully a mile further be
fore either spoke again, and then Moses
broke the silence by exclaiming with quiet
emphasis, as he drew a handful of silver
spoons from his bosom:
“Isaac, God has punished dot man.”
A capital story is told regarding two

Pact* from Nances.
Enquirku-Sun: Willis Lee and Osborne
Walker, colored, were arrested last Friday under
a warrant sued out by William Amos, charging
them with the burning of his corn crib on the
35th of November. The warrant was issued by
O. P. Poe, N. P. and ex-officio J. P., and tried by
Justices Poe and T. O. Rees. The evidence was
not sufficient to bind the parties over to the
superior court.
Saturday being the regular court at Nances,
the following cases were disposed of!
P. J. Biggers vs. Jack Bryant; Jake Linsou gar
nishee. Judgment for plaintiff against gar
nishee for $5.
Biggers vs. Jack Bryant. Judgment for plain
tiff of $28 and cost of suit.

During the years that I have been afflicted
I have tried almost everything claimed to

finding something that would afford per
manent relief. I hud abont. made up my

jurist whom I ltnew, and concluded to try
its effects in niy case. I have used bm
two bottles, and ant satinAcd that I hm
struck the right thing at last. I felt It*
beneficial effects almost immediately.
Unlike nil other preparations of a similar
