Has Washington County less of intelli

less of virtue, of patriotism, tbnn is to be
found in these neighboring counties ? Vo
ters of Washington oonnty, they have lead
you in the race, will you not follow, and by
grand viotory at ths polls on Wednesdny
next, assert your manhood, yea, yeur ohtval-
ry, your lovs for your women, for your al
tars and for your God. Washington wet and
her border oounties dry, would be a blight
on her fair name, a depredation of her intel
ligence and moral status, Indeed she would
be a stenoh in the nostrils of the 111 ooun-
tlee that have dared to vote away barrooms.
Never have we seen a band of truer, more
earnest ohristian men work more faithfully
and more harmoniously than have the pro
hibitionists of Washington in this oampaign.
Without the hope of roward other than
that of serving their country and their God
they have given heart and brains, bund and
purse to labor for those that would pull
down and destroy. We feel it a privilege
to have been associated as a oo-laborer with
band so true and tried.

Matt vii. 18.
The above startling words vis tho text ol
an able and most timely sermon delivered
by Dr. A. J. Battle, tbe pastor, in the Bap-
list ohurob here on last Sunday. The learn-
•d divine announced that ever sinco ho had
known of tbe pendenoy of tbe great isBue
that ia now agitating the good people oi this
oonnty he had determined during the prog
reae of tbe oampaign to lift up hie voioe and
oaat his influenoe in behalf of prohibition
Offeneea are stumbling blocks, the world ie
cursed by stumbling blocks, tsmptations to
■in, and among tba greatest and most for
midable of these stumbling blooks is the vioe
of drunkenness. Interesting statistics were
then related of orimv and insanity irom emi
neat physicians and superintendents of asy
lums, esoribing fifty par cent, or more of tho
number of inmates of various asylums owe
their misfortune to strong driDk.
The question of responsibility for so ruin
ous a tradio, was then strongly presented,
"Wo unto that man by whom the offence
oometh." The barkeeper who deals out this
liquid fire is responsible, against him a fear
ful wo ie pronotinoed. But fearful os ie their
reeponsibibiliiy, are they alone to be held re
sponsible ? Is there no responsibility to be
lodged against tbe legislature that invests the
bar-keeper with the license to make drunk
ards and to fill asylums ? Does no respon
■ibility rest upon the people, that allows the
peddling out of euoh licensee for snob nefa
rious purposes.

A railroad director in St. Louis when ask-

tion. But soon be was expecting on a cer
tain day the return of hie wife and daugb
tan by one of the trains osntering in that oity J
when a telegram was received, that a terri
ble disaster hadocourred to one of tho trains
His fears were at once greatly aroused, he
wantad to know, what train is it? but soon
he was informed it was the train npon which
his family were to come. He offered even

arriving, ke iouud bis wife and one daughter
killed and another daughter with her ribB
broken and her life rapidly passing away
Then when too late, he must have felt that
be was interested in having only sober men,
to whose care the oversight of so many lives
•re constantly entrusted.
Tbe duty of personal responsibility on the
part of tbe ohurob for the continuance of tbe
oars* of barrooms was strongly en
joined. If, with the spirit of Cain, you ask:
"am I my brother’s keeper ?” beware lest tbe

Address of Hon. J. K. Hines,
Before the Ladies, and Young Men's
Prohibition Club on Tuesday Night.
Let me say to you, in the outset, that you
cannot work in any better oause. Good men
and good women everywhere will applaud
your labor, and God will smile upon your ef
forts. Patriotism oommends, and ohristian
duty oommends, seal in this war of temper-
ance against intern peranos.
On tbe one aide is the army of the anti-pro
bibitionists: tbe advooates of Intemperanoe
and the promoters of drunkenneas.
For what are they fighting? For the good
of men and the pnblio welfare? For the ale-
ration and advancement of the raoe?
tbeir fight patriotic and unselfish? Or are
they fighting for gain?
In this army of the anti-prohibitionists
are the dealers in the liquor trafflo; the men
who sell it; the men who flourish most,
when men drink most, and thrive and fatten
upon the folly, the intemperanoe and the
miseries of their fellow men. The sellers
are for tbe sale; with the sellers are the men
who want to drink it; the men who oan't ro
slut the thirst for whisky and yet oan’t make
up their minds to vote it out; the men who
want it at hand as a medicine, bat never in
ther lives took one drop of it as a medicine
the men who will put that within them which
will rob them of their brains, undermine
health, and destroy their souls; the men
who are afraid that taxes will be roised
liquor is abolished; the men who found li
quor here and who are anxionB to leave
here, when they go henoe forever; the men
who say prohibition will do for rural dis
tricts and small towns, but not for large oit-
ioB like Atlanta and Sandersville, the men
who believe in high license, tbe men who
fear that a reign of temperance will hurt
trade; the men who say it is uuoonstitution
al, and know no more about what they are
talking than the man in the moon; then
there is the oolorsd contingent on whom they
mainly rely lor votes and viotory. These are
they that testify and work against this great
movement in favor of temporance.
This is tbe army of the anti-prohibition
ists. I see no preaoher in it. I find no in
struotor among them. I see bnt a minority
of tbe inlelligsuoe and waalth of the land
in this army. I behold no woman in its
ranks. I see no Baintly mother urging

As Wmi Expected.
False reports have been oireulatsd design
ed to damage tbe canso of prohibition, n few
of wbioh we will note:
A prominent prohibitionist is accused of
saying whisky must go. How oonld any
one say this in a defiant, wnr-like spirit?
No one lias mado suoh remark, nor does any
one believe it.
Another is charged with saying that capi
tal controls tho jury box, that registration
controls tho ballot box, and that capital con
trols labor. Tho gentleman charged made
no such statement. What then is tho charge
worth ?
Another true prohibition young man is
ohargod with being wot, while his father iR
one of the "old guard” temperance band.

true "like father, like son,” und Washing

tbe ranks of the enemies oi temperance.
This is one army. Its colors are fit em
blems of the warfare it wages against men,
They are emblematic of violenoe and
bloodshed; of misery and murder; of deoay
and death; of destruction and damnation,
There is the other army of the prohibi
tionists. In its ranks I see tbe wealth and
intelligence of tbe oountry. I do not say
all of the wealth and intelligence. There
are good men in the other army.
Two thirds of the white men of Washing
ton, two-thirds, ii not more, oi Us wealth and
intelligence, and all white women are in
this grand army. They are not in it for gain.
Not one dollar will go iato their pockets if
prohibition triumphs. It matters not how
it goes, they will lose financially. It takes
money to run a campaign like this ; and the
prohibitionists have no Liquor Dealers Asso
ciations and wholesale liquor housas to fur
nish an sleotion fund.
In the ranks of the Probibikition army are
tbe men nnd women who do not live for self
alone. I thank God there aro such men and
women in the world. How dark and cheer-
lesM would bt the woild without them. In
it are the men who do not object to paying a
little more tax to support free common
schools for Sandersville, it they can drive
away liquor and close up tin barrooms,
wbioh are the nurseries iu which drunkards
are ere&ted.
In tho army of temperance are the men
und women who do not want to leave liquor
here bimply because they found it here. On
t ie contrary they would like to prohibit the
manufacture and sale of whisky, that tk
young men, who are to come otter them,
might escape the perditioD iulo which drun
kenness plunged them. They would like to
leave the world brighter and better, than it
was when they came into it.
In this grand army of tbe republic are the
philanthropists and patriots of the land, who
aro zvalouBly working for the welfare and el
evation of mankind.
Tho day is drawing very near—the day
set apart for ws voters of WaBhiagtou conn

tarts or syrnp padding. You think those
kind of people wouldn't livo longer if their
liberties wore sorter obeokwated ? No, sir,
this thing of Liberties is too promiscuous in
this oountry.
I saw a fanny sight tbe other day, and still
it made me feel sad. There wero two mem
bers of a oertain ohurob on the streets, on
of them a resident of one of our largest cit
ies. This gentleman was about taking his
exit for borne. Thpy went walking
down the streot. They conolnded as they
were going to separate, they would "take
smile,” so they stepped into one pf the
bars. Tbeir pastor, ono ol tbo eminent
preaohers of tbe State, came walking up
the Btreet and saw them, but they did not
see him, so he walked past the bar and half

Meeting oOllniMcri and Oliurcli
Officers.
The meeting of ministers and ohuroh offi
cers met this day aocording to adjournment.
Called for d’istriot representatives, when sev
eral districts of the oonnty reported names
of delegates. Rev. Wm. Park offered tin-
following resolutions wbioh wero dismissed
and unanimously adopted.
Resolved, It is the sense of this body ol
ministers, nnd official members of tbe va
rious churches of Washington county, that
Temperance is one of tbe cardinal graces
plainly taught in the word of God, nnd that
it is also auihoritstively enjoined upon nil
the followers of Christ to aid in its propaga
tion and practice everywhere. We also bold
that intemperance and drunkenness are by
the same word condemned, and all Chris
tians are enjoined to disoourago these vices
and labor for their suppression.
Resolved, 2d, That bolding these truths
as emanating from the great Head of tin
Church, we pledge ourselves to use every ef-
fort coDHisteDt with Christian propriety, to
close tho barrooms and thus remove an evil
so damaging to tbe cause of Ohrist. Ar
Christian lgen we can do nothing less, nnd
we fe<l it imperatively demanded of us to
take a decided stand id behalf of prohibition,
and that no one should take a position and
refuse to labor for a cause, that we believe

A Trick to Mlsltuil the People
Mr. Editob:—
Please let the people know that Mr. Snell
and Noah Johnson have been iu our district
saying that their side wants to do away with
barrooms and sell by the quart.
If thoy want to do away with barrooms,
let them come over to our side and vote
“against the sale."
If wo can only buy it by tho quart or gal
lon we can send for it and not have to pay-
two prices iu order to keep np the public
schools in Sandersville.
If we aro going to stop tho evil let us stop
it. So say we all.
Many Counthy Votehs.
Let no voter bo mislead by such bosh.
Who has the right to change the issue? Tbe
question is For tbe sale and* Against the
sale: if the majority is "for tho sole" the bar
rooms with nil their dark nnd direful train of
abominations will be fastened upon this
uoble old coanty for two years more. Who
that loves his oountry, who that loves hiH
family, who flint fours God, willl vote fur
barrooms?
