CARNESVILLE, GA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 17, 1888.
OVER-ZEALOUS PROHI’S
WHO AltE INJURING TIIK
CAUSE OF PROIIIBIFION
IN THIS AND OTHER
COUNTIES.
Under ordinary circumstances we
think it is a mischievous practice
for country papers to take sides for
or against county candidates of the
same political faith. For the reason
that it mignt bavo seemed that we
vvese paitisan in the Senatorial cams
paign which closed on yesterday, wo
refrained irom referring to the po¬
litical aspect recently developed by a
few prohibitionists in this county.
The senior editor of this paper was
an active prohibitionist long ago
when, it was unpopular to be one,
and when most of our over zealous
friends were dumb as oysters, and
some of them were on the other side,
and wt hope to enjoy immunity
from the cant phrazo “not a prohi¬
bitionist at heart,” which has grown
into common use recently.
We would be glad to see the man¬
ufacture and sale of liquors, as a
beverago, swept from the earth, but
wc will oppose to the utmost, all
effort at further general legislation
upon the temperanoe movement at
present. The sensible, conservative
prohibition element in this State, to
which wo owe our victories, oppose
it. We look upon a state prohibi¬
tion law, as a sort of a wild cat ex
perinient, doubtful and dangerous.
In #ur opinion, it is a movement led
by fanatics,and by politicians who are
scekiogtheir own political prefer¬
ment.!!-."
We expect to discuss the subject
at some length in the future, but can
only say now, that there aye men in
this county, who understand the
subject aud the people, much better
than those at the helm of State pro¬
hibition, who arc equally honest, and
who see in State prohibition nothing
but disaster to temperance cause.
With the best of feelings for those
With whom we disagree, and with
no object in view but the advance¬
ment of the cause of tcmpeianee,
we assure our over-zealous friends,
that they are giving prohibition the
most fatal stabs it has ever received
in this county; r They + ? rnip : (hyiding 'if
■ weak
the supporters of , prohibition,
oning the temperance. .cause- and
without intending it. tg*y ar^

primary ELECTION
The primary election on yester¬
day was well attended, the vote
reached the number usually polled
at the fall elections. The day
passed off quietly here and the ut
most good humor prevailed.
will be seen by the returns publiahs
ed elsewhere, W. R. little was ses
lected as the choice of the county
for senator by a large majority.
J. C, McConnell, candidate for
Sheriff, carried the county by v
much smaller majority, $is oppo¬
nent is a very popular man, but it
js practioably impossible to defeat
a man who has filled the office as
acceptably as McConnell has, and
who has held it only a short time.
In another column will be found
the full vote of each Malitia district
of the county.
The campaign, and the election
was unusually fair bo far as we are
informed, and as matter of course
the entire people of the county and
district will give Mr Little their
hearty support, and Mr. McConnell
will be endorsed,by the solid vote of
the. county in January. We are
glad it is over, os it will save both
and the people and the candidates
much wory.
DEATH OF JACOB KING.
Jacob King, an old and respected
citizen 1 died on Tuesday nignt.' He
was recovering from a long and
severe attack or typhoid, or typho
malarial fever, and relapsed, it is
supposed, from injudicious dieting.
Mr. King had liyed in the county
on’-y a few years, but he had made
many friends and was held iu high
esteem by all his acquaintances.
In chronicling the death of citizens
who have fallen by the way, wo
have'often said U A nun is
gone” but have never written it
with a fuller consciousness of its
truth, than when we say of Jacob
King, A good man is gone.
