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^ addend, opmfprt the f V. i Gun caps atG. S. PhiUips’ ^ ^ a g # Phillips' 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.
