i“toxl«atm g liquors, except tor me
dionial and mechanical purposes,
The liquor husiuevs is fraught with
such tremendous evils that all lovyrs
of humanity a^apt any restrictions
till they can get absolute prohjbi
tion. They deem it ear better to
close one doggery if they can do
nothing move, fa prohibitionists
accept high license where they oan
not get prohibition; and local option
where they cinnot get a general
law; and statutary laws where they
cannot get a constitutional amend.
meat,
Quite a number of tho counties in
Georgia have special laws by which
which they have partial prohibition;
that is, the sale of liquors to be q^ed
as a beverage is forbidden. And
abou^fpur years ago the legislature
passed a general local option law.
So in one way and another more
than two'lhivds of tho counties m
Georgia have some form of prohibi¬ the
tion, anti mo vast majority of
good citizens in the counties that
have it not, are prohibitionists, Pro¬
hibitionists rejoice in what has been
accomplished, but of course desire
togo forward and rid the entire
gtate and country of the evil.
And there might be an advance
movement, tho temperance people
met in convention, the present year,
in Atlanta, and gave notice that
they would try to get the next legis¬
lature to make £ law prohibiting the
raanufactuie and sale of liquor
throughout the Stale,
And that they wore not a set of
wild “oyer-zcalous fanatics,” is evi¬
dent when it is known that the con¬
vention was composed of such men
as Judge Hillyer, Walter B. Hill,
Rev. Mr. Jamerson, of Toccoa, and
Col. J. S. Dortch and A N. King
ot Carncsvillc. And the wisdom
and extreme fairness ot the legis¬
lation proposed is appaient to every
unprejudiced mind. They do not
think it best to attempt a constitu¬
tional amendment; and give notice
that they will attempt a statutary
law; which like statutes may be
repealed or amended by any suc¬
ceeding legislature. And this notice
is lour months in advance of
time of electing the
prohibitionists might where they
could, elect men who would make
the law, *’-d the liquor men bad
due notice, and they took it, and as
was expected an electing men,
wliere they can to defeat it.
See the fairness, Notice given
given four months in advance; be¬
fore most of the candidates had de¬
clared themselves, that both parties
might do what they could for their
respec'ire measures.
Hence the duty of every voter,
and especially every prohibitionist
is lo demand of lliose asking to rep
resent us, how h# will vote on the
proposed bil .

people first, and they pass
upon it in electing their repiosenta

men elected are committed against

But it i® objected that proposed

ground that general laws must oper

-ni Tbnl , It eboiild . I, operate , alike tbroiijh. .
eat the State is just what la tairod
and proposed, and should tl m>«
operate it will not be the fault

But it is objected again, tlmt..
we anempt this we lose all we
gained for prohibition. It Is to be
supposed that poople who have sense
enough to get together in
tions, have sense enough not to jeop
erdizc everything, when there is no
earthly reason why they should risk
anything. For there to be anything
in this objection .. . there roust , be are
pcalingof all prohibition laws
ever the people attempt any further
legislation on prohibition. We have
not had, nor are >ve likely to have,
a legislature capable of such sui,vome
non-sense.
But the bill proposed is to be so
framed as not to effect any existing

If the bill proposed should be in¬
troduced and tail, it would bo just
like any other bill that fails
the legislature. So nothing is ^<> st
if nothing is gained. And the meas
ure proposed is so lraportent, wise
and just, that it is better for the
educational effeef, to have the agita¬
tion and the people vote on it in the
manner proposed, even if it
be deleated. Bnt, it is objected
again that the State has no right to
make such laws. It is sufficient to
remind such objectors that the Su
preme Court of the United States,
in an ajipeal case from Kansas, and;
another from Iowa, decided that the
States have a right to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of into -Icating! '
