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a constitu¬ tional amendment; and give notice that they will attempt a statutary law; which like statutes may be repealed or amended by any suc¬ ceeding legislature.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 . Siiiiniuiiig it the people in ad as all other measure* are sub* \ a.ivc, lied m el-cting ihe men to make ihvir ifavis. Yet some, either beeau# they kuow no better, or iu- i ntc »ding to miarejaroscnt, tell the the people that the prohibitionists are trying to pass a law ovor their keads; whffi il “ bein « submitted t0 the itt elMtln S their log* la We defy any man to establish one unjust thing, in the way of logisla tion, attempted by prohibitionists W the interest of prohibition} Liquor ■* tr*: *?r '**•*■ 1 * M - kition.sts, never t!

Now as to tho fore the »..««<«. bo. people first, and they pass upon it in electing their repiosenta tires, and in ease a majority of the men elected are committed against the bill, it will not likely be so much ns introduced.

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 in ceil failed to become « to Nothing le» than direct k* Motion .an repeal tho law. wo no» have. 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! ' liq„ore. Tb» meagre propored H like notning ever a e I“ p prohibition this .. or any interest of m other state. It was a codstitutional amendment that was defeated m Texas ard Tennessee. This meas ure is not open to the liabilities of effort at constitutional amendment. Carrying it before thi lftscpie ot each separate county, in electing their representatives. 'Die bring liquor power bear fiom without cannot to such influence for its defeat. There will lie no great expense in the can vass and defeat in a county, or even in the State would he no great aster. ! But prohibitionists generally think that, it was hotter to have had. for the odncational effect, the agitiation, the vote and defeat than not to have had them.
