THE HAMILTON JOURNAL.
THE OFFICIAL OF COUNTY.
VOL. XIII.
TWICE A WEEK.
As soon as the The Journal is
comfortably fixed in its new office in
building the ,
the on nor 1 eas o
of the square south of the court house
recently fitted up for us, it will be
issued twice a week. The pressure
upon our columns by advertisers is
so great that we cannot find 100m to
1 publish all the home news, so that
we have decided to publish twice a
week. No advance will be made in
the subscription price, as the double
issue may be only temporary, but we
have a hope that our friends
will show their appreciation of the
enterprise by paying up their sub¬
scriptions and renewing for another
year. And if any who have done
this would help us still farther, they
can say a good word for us that will
induce their friends and neighbors to
subscribe to The Journal.
The semi-weekly edition will be
the same size of the weekly.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The question of the hour—will
Felton or Smith lead the anti-railroad
party ?
The legislature will adjourn about
Saturday, and unless the week is full
of good work, will go into history
noted more for what it _ didn’t, than
for what it did.
The Macon Telegraph reached us
on the first of October in a cora
olete new dress. It presents now
the handsomest appearance of any
daily in the state, and in the inter¬
est and value of its contents it is at
the head. The Telegraph sacrifices
none of its purity to maintain the
interest in its columns, but may be
introduced into the family circle
without fear of contamination.
Several communications are upon pub
our table awaiting their turn for
lication. The policy of The ]our
nal is to give precedence current to news top¬
items and comment on
ics, publishing matter of a literary or
phylosophical turn only after room is
found for these others. The crowd¬
ed state of our columns forbids the
publication ot these essays as prompt¬
ly as we wish, but we do the best we
can.
THE REVENUE SERVICE.
Last week in the train we met up
with Mr. R. M. Moss, Deputy Col¬
lector of Internal Revenue for this
district and had with him a long talk
on the duties of his office. He show¬
ed us a list of the distilleries in this
district, the most of which are locat¬
ed in Upson county. Two are locat¬
ed in this county. One in the Low¬
er 19th run by Messrs McLeroy &
Gordon, which has distilled the past
season 11 gallons of peach brandy.
The other is located in Milner’s dis¬
trict and has run 30 gallons of bran¬
dy this year. It is owned by Mr. R.
E Carter. There are several stills
in Upson that have made upwards of
300 gallons each of peach brandy.

HAMILTON, GAOCTOBER 6,1885.
! PROHIBITION AT WHITES
VILLE.
A leading citizen of \Y hitesville
district was in town last week and
being solicited to move to Hamilton
replied that he would if we would
vote whiskey out of town. A by
stander remarked that it is claimed
that voting whiskey out of Whitesville
killed that pla :e.
“It has not done anything of the
kind, answered the gentleman, ror
two years before the town went dry
there was only one little shop in the
' place with a barrel of whiskey behind
the counter. It was the resort night
ly of rowdy men and on Sundays
they congregated here and disturbed
public worship with their boisterous
conduct. It was impossible for us
to get even a spool of thread nearer
than Hamilton or West Point. Now
we have a prosperous firm of mer
chants, who keep a first class stock
of goods, two new churches have
been built and two newly painted,
while the district is one of the most
quiet, orderly and prosperous in the
county, it is practically solid for
prohibition and black and white will
unite heartily to vote whiskey out of
the county in November.”
