Temperance in Georgia.
Savannah News.
The growth of (he temperance
sentiment in the West has been
phenomenal. Opposition to the
liquor trafic has long been strong
in New England and other sec
tions of the North. Agitation
upon the subject in the West has
sought remedies in prohibitory
or high iTsense laws, and a system
of education is being applied in
Ihe public schools with the view
of acquainting the young witlr
the evil effects of liquors upon
the human system. Temperance
cause of Georgia has been quietly
conducted, but ttib results of the
work done are so striking as to
attract wide attention elsewhere.
A surprising feature of the move
ment is the fact that where the
trade has been abolished or cur
tailed, it has been effected with a
degree of spontaneity npon the
part of voters not Witnessed in
other sections.
Many of these counties where
the change has been effected
were noted for the amount of
liquor consumed and the reign of
violence to which drunkenness
gave rise. These communities
are now recognized as the most
orderly and progressive irr the
State. The testimony of citizens
of Washington, Scriven, Liberty,
Spaulding, Pierce, Wayne, and
other counties, prove the wisdom
of the change. A gentleman,who
has a large store in a town in one
of these counties, and who for
many years sold liquor, speaking
about the effect in his county
said that he was a drinking man
and had made considerable mon
ey in selling liquor, but lie had
advocated and voted for prohibi
tion in his county. Previous to
the passage law, his store was
crowded with men who spent
their money for liquor and would
quarrel and fight, and occasionly
a mafn be shot. They would go
home with nothing for their wives
and children, and were always in
debt Now there was a radical
change. Farmers came and ex
changed produce and bought
what they wanted and went
home sober. They were raising
better crops, were better clothed,
and were getting out. of debt-
This merchant is one of the
shrewdest of many who visit Sa
vannah, added that now it was a
pleasure to do business in bis
town. Before, he was anxious to
quit the place on account of the
disagreeable necessity of trading
with unreasonable drunkards.
The work has been gradual, but
the results are significant. Forty
four counties are now under pro
hibition or high license laws, and
in mauy of these the latter are
Virtually prohibitory. Noting the
movement in Georgia, the Boston
Post, anythig but a prooibition
organ,says J
“We shall watch this movement
in Georgia with much interest.
When the drinkers of a eommu
ftity band together and demand
prohibition there is some chance
hat it may bring about the de
sired reform. It is a queer phase
of the temperance movement and
altogether novel.’’
Plenty of Bieh Land.
Ali over the South, if the truth
Were known, there are tracts o(
rich land waiting for the labor of
immigrants or home farmers to
bring forth their cropping re
sources* The Aberneen (Miss.)
Examiner says; Of the 47,156
square miles comprised within
the boundries ot the State of
Mississippi but 7,648 miles are in
cultivation. In other words,
While Mississippi has an area oi
30,179,840 acres, she had under
plow in June, 1880, but 4,895,000
acres, or less than one sixth of
her area. The fact. is. that half
the area uow in cultivation in
Mississippi is of almost inex
hauslable fertility, and has never
been plowed deep enough to test
its strength, while the remainder
will average fairly with any oth
er Slate in the Union. On the
other hand, we have millions ot
as rich land as any country in the
world can boast that has never
known the touch ol plow or hoe,
and tens of thousands of other
acres that were abandoned years
ago as “worn out,” but have hau
their fertility renewed since t tie
war by those blessed emigrants
Japanese clover and Bermuda
grass—benefactors who have car
peted and adorned all the waste
places, renewing their fertility,
and making Mississippi through
out her length and breadth a
grand natural pasture land un
surpassed by any on the conti
nent.

It is probably that the 1 icons
question wil! he voted on in Mo-
Intush county before long.
The small grain crop generally
throughout the State is reported
to be in a thriving condition.
McDaniel will make the fourth
governor within six months—
Colquitt, Stephens, Boynton and
McDaniel.
At the Madison court Judge
Pottle fined a man twenty-five
dollars for coining on the witness
stand drunk.
An eccentric charge t e r ol
Towns county, named Abe - John
son, over fifty years of age, has
never worn a pair of shoes.
Charlie Diggers, a negro, while
cleaning out a well in Chattahoo
chee county, on Ihursday, was
buried alive by the caving in ol
the well.
Sumter county jail now con
tains six prisoners, all of whom
are colored, and four under sen
tence to the penitentiary, Hie
longest term being ten years.
One of the Breeches edition ol
Bibles, printed in 1608 by .Robert
Barker, of London, lias been pur
chased by Joseph M. Brown, of
Atlanta, for $25.
A Georgia lady lias made the
discovery that pulverized copper
as sprinkled in the nests of hens
or wherever chicken mites are
found will cause the little pests
to disappear.
Twelve hundred cattle were
bought up in Dougherty, Worth
and other counties by Texans for

It will take a train of forty cars to

Avery close observer has just
travelled through Thomas,
Lowndes and Brooks counties,
and sayß the potato crop looks
more promising about Camilla
than anywhere he has been.
A young man married in Oco
nee county a few days ago who

the knot tied.
Griffin News: Out of sixteen
females in one house in Griffin
'there are seven who have the un
common name of Mary. They
sped it variously, Mary, Mollie.
Marie and Mamie, bnt it all
means the same thing.
A ride through a portion of
east Dougherty, recently, by a
careful inspector, showed the oat
crop in excellent condition and
acreage larger than is generally
supposed. One large field noticed
would average eighteen inches
to two feet fn height.
News and Advertiser: The
cyclone struck some of Col. T.
Willingham’s best timbered land
in Worth county, and leveled two
thousand acres of timber for him.
Col. Willingham is not of that
stamp of men who under
misfortune, however, and the first
thing that he did after hearing
of tho misfortunes of some of his
fellow-citizens, who were left al
most destitute by the storm, was
to render material aid.
Evening Mews: A book ju.-.
published is entitled “II -w i
Make SSOO Yearly Pi util w.u
Twelve Hens.” We have not reac
the-book, but we suppose the au
thor’s recipe is to sell the corn
they would annually eat, and
ihen kill the hens.
Wrightsville Recfirder: Mr.
Daniel. L. Meeks, while riding
through Cedar creek swamp,
about two miles from this place,
last Sunday, saw a black bear.
The bear was about twenty-five
yards from him when first seen,
and judging from his appearance,
he would at least, weigh one
hundred and fifty pounds. It is
believed that this is the same
hear that was seen going through
Mr. Ezra New’s plantation in
Washington county a lew days
before.
Watering Horses.
There is a great diversity ol
opinion as to how olten huises
should be watered during a day,
whether in summer or in winter.
We have an article now before
us of a writer of some distinction
as an agr'culiurisl, who advocates
frequent watering of work horses,
as a renewer of the vigor of the
animals. We cannol agree with
him. We think both man an beast
are watered too much. Men and
horses at hard work in warm
weather prespire just in propor
tion to the quantity ot fluids
taken into the stomach. Frequent
drinking in hot weather, accord
ing to our experience, emascul
ates instead ol refreshes. Some
years ago, being at Cape May, in
driving out in one of I lie stand
coaches of the place on a very
hot day, we asked the driver how
it was that his horse prespired so
little, while the horses of private
carriages, going at a slower
speed, were covered with foam.
He replied that he watered ins
horses three times a day only,
though he sponged their liioullis
frequently, while the private
drivers watered their Ijoises
whenever they stopped. lie said,
and it seems to us very sensible,
that tlie frequent watering of
horses effected no good purpose,
while it made them very uncom
fortable and lethargic. Horses,
no matter vvhut their work was;
did not need watering oftener
than three times a day. Our own
experience with horses all out
lives is to the same effect.—Ex
change.
