PROHIBITION AND
VETO.
THE
WE CONGRATULATE
BILL
If the people want prohibition <nnd
it is our belief that the youngest child
limv living will not see any other law
for Georgia,) they should not vote for
any legislative candidate who is op
posed to prohibition, I hats the po
sition of this paper. But prohibition-
its cannot afford to be so unfair as to
say that even if a majority of the peo
ple oppose u«. we will yet defeat the
will of the majority.
Prohibition became possible by an
appeal to cadi individual citizen nnd
the building up of a sentiment that,
stamped out the legal sale of liquor in
Georgia. They met the enemy in the
open and defeated him in the, Legisla
ture. They fought in the spirit of
fairness and temperance, zealously,
strongly and bravely. By the same
methods of warfare they must continue
to fight if they would hold to the vic
tory won.
The moment the Prohibitionits say
to the whisky men, we defy yon, we
defy a majority of the people and even
if you defeat us at the polls, and in the
Legislature, our governor will veto
your bill nnd we will override the will
of the people, actual prohibition is
d'Joined and democratic government is
defeated, a condition far more danger
ous than bar rooms themselves, for if
a governor today lias the right to Hay
that 1 will veto such measures as 1
deem unwise, a governor tomorrow enti
point to the veto of today as a prece
dent and say I will veto your prohibi
tion bill although you may elect a leg
islature that favors prohibition.
And when the candidate who hap
pens to assume the right to set aside
legislation modifying the Prohibition
law, happeus to lie one elected on a
local option platform, opposed prohibi
tion in his inaugural address, sat in his
office when the real fight was on,
‘‘when one blast from his bugle born
were worth a thousand men” and who
later thought the bill enacted was too
sweeping and that “beer and light
wines” should bo permitted to be sold
and who began bis race for governor
while a joint owner of the most magni
ficent bar room in Georgia, there is
souie danger, at least, that before the
day comes for the issuing of the veto
message, he map flop to the other Ride.
Tnn Hkrali) believes in prohibition,
but we believe in a fair fight to hold
it.
No, Prohibitionists espouse a cause
too great to resort to unfairness and
too noble to leave it in the keeping of
the conscience of a king. They can
afford to appeal to the minds and liear’.s
of the people and in the future, as in
the past, leave the fate of their cause
to the intelligent, and God fearing men
and women of the state and they can
win a permanent victory only when
they arouse a sentiment for prohibi
tion in the minds and consciences of a
majority of the people.
Letusnotgo backward. The Chief
Executive has authority to veto legis
lation if it violates the. constitution,
but uot because he deems it unwise.
Some day, we hope Prohibition will
be guaranteed by the Constitution of
the state. Until then, the veto power
will not exist.
The Inst issue of the Herald was
printed too soon after the result 'vii6
known in Johnson county to permit
the Herald to offer congratulations to
Hon. William Faircloth on his magnif
icent race for representative.
Judge Faircloth is well known here
and has hundreds of friends who re
joice in his victory. He has presided
over our court with such dignity, abili
ty and fairness as to win the commen
dations and approval of our people and
they feel that he will make a safe,
able nnd valuable representative.
We congratulate him particularly on
two features of his platform and the
zeal with which they were pressed hy
him in the campaign, viz., his strong
stand for prohibition and for the end
ing forever in (Georgia £of the convict
lease system.
Aside from these, however we re
joice to see “Bill” successful. We like
him. Besides we want to see the next
legislature show uy more tfhiiny, level
headed, true men, independent of
county bosses and every other influence
except the question of what ib right
nhd just and see it get back to what it
was in the olden time when the best
and truest and ablest men we bad
were sent there. Particularly do we
want to see this from the "country”
counties.
We are satisfied “Bill” will make
such a legislator because we know lie
made such a judge.
Therefore, the Herald congratulates
“Bill’s” neighbors.
MR. SEELYS LETTER.
In its issue of last Wednesday, The
Atlanta Georgian publishes a signed
statement of Mr. F. L. Seely publisher,
on the Prohibition question which is
the most, sensible utterance we have
read and prohibitionists will be wise to
read it and think a little,
The publication is a letter from Mr
Seely to Judge Alvan D. Freeman, an
appointee of Governor Smith and a
pretty dangerous “leader” of the pro
hibition forces just at, this time.
The publisher of the Georgian de
clares that he is supporting neither of
the caudidnts for governor, but that
(ns every one knows) prohibition, is
very near and dear to the Georgian’s
heart.
In the course of the article, Mr.
Seely says:
"No, judge. The Georginn is not for
Mr. Smith for governor. Yon evident
ly are. The Georginn is not. for Joseph
M. Brown for governor. You evident
ly iup with u« on this proposition ; but.
tnke a word of advice : Don’t, let’s film
Ham the people into anybody’s barn
yard yet awhile with the political club
wrapped up in tbe white robe of prohi
bition. Wo may stub nur toe nnd find
ourselves unexepdctedly in possession
of a governor from wnom we would
ike prohibition protection, but in
whose face we spat before it was quite
time.
PRESS COMMENT ON
GUBERNATORIAL RACE.
A GOOD PLATFORM.
lion. Boland Ellis, of Bibb County
announces for Representative on the
following brief but very sensible plat
form :
1 believe that the present disastrous
condition of affairs which afllict a pa
tient people demands relief.
I believe in a change of policy in or
der to restore normal conditions.
I shall support such policies as will
promote more factories, more railroads
higher wages, ample industries and
more prosperity.
The money to pay the pensioners in
advance has arrived but it is not record
ed that the thing will work.
It wns said by some early in the cam
paign that Little Joe’s candidacy was a
joke, but who is the joke on?
Tiie Governor says there is an effort
to defeat, him with money, but it looks
like its too sure a thing to waste cash
on.
The “landslide” is the other way
this time remarks the Augusta Chroni
cle.
To Pensioners.
Foils of voters as published in im
partial papprs eontinne t.o show that
Little Joe is far in the iPad.
Tt now turns out, that “friend” Mose-
ly is not a friend but a disappointed
candidate for State Senator.
The administration lias become so
frightened that, some net.nally think
the date of the state primary may lie
changed.
The IIkbai.p publishes todav the
statement in full of Candidate Brown
on Prohibition. Some of ! h'S friends
ask us to direet. attention to tbe full
statement as the publication in the re
cent issue of the Progress of only a
part of may lie misleading.
‘‘Custom’’ and “precedent,
about which the Smith organs are
now whining, were smashed to
smithereens by the Macon con
vention nnd can no more be pick
ed up again than a banket of
broken eggs.—Griffin News and
Sun.
“Mr. Brown's statement to the
people stands for itself. It de
serves careful pursual. It is not
an address to be interpreted for
the average reader. It is plainly
put, shows no harshness, is can*
did. gentlemanly’, high-toned,
Also,''it is entertaining. It is in
structive on many things.
“Read it and give to it such
weight ns it merits. Compare its
tone nnd manner with the spasm
of vituperation that has been in
augurated by the Journal. Yield
to the more meritorious the ad
vantage that is earned by the
comparison.”—Macon Telegrnh.
Mr. Brown’s statement that, no
net of his, personally or officially’,
will approve of the re-establish
ment of the saloon in Georgia
leaves little room for debate as to
where lie stands on this question.
Mr. Brown refers to his record
of a life time. The Georgian has,
since the beginning of Mr.
Brown’s candidacy, watched care
fully for information bearing on
the gentleman's record. We have
failed thus far to find where it
has been inconsistent with his
present stand Should instances
of any inconsistency come to us,
we assure you we will not be slow
in printing the facts.—Atlanta
Georgian.

PROTECTION FROM FIRE.
Have
You Ever
Had “the
Blues?”
How much better it would have been
for the state had the Governor studied
more Greek and done fewer refawm
stunts.
Appointees from ull over the state
continue to send communications to
headquarters beginning “I regret to
report.”
It isn’t near so bard to find a man
opposed to Hoke Smith in this county
as it was before. The faer is, they are
getting to be “much more numerous.”
Same old thing. The Journal still
talks about “conspirators,” “hired
agents,” “corruptionists,” “ringsters,”
etc. But the people seem to be tired
of these things.
By the way, speaking of business
men, what sort of a business man lias
been at the helm in Georgia for these
past several months? Isn’t it fair to
udge by the fruits.
“THE DAUGHTERS.’
Keeping alive the Southern senti
ment, honoring the confederate living
and dead, gathering the truth of his
tory for future generations and perpet
uating the memory of their fathers in
song and story, in monuments and
love, the Daughters of the Confedaracy
are engaged in a noble work.
In the busy times in which men lind
themselves, the ladies are keeping
alive the ideals and are giving to the
young people the thought and at ten
tion they deserve.
More and more each year is the
power and influence of Woman’s Or
ganizatiotis seen and appreciated.
Due more to their heroic work than
all other influences combined are the
people of the state indebted for the
temperance sentiment that is sweep
ing everything before it.
In a few days, the Daughters will
entertain the old veterans in Sanders
ville and throughout the south. The
ablest orators have been sought to
speak ot the southern cause and where
ever the sons and daughters of Con
federates should be. they should turn
aside that day to pay a loving tribute
to the southern soldier, living and
dead.
Air. Watson says he joined with Gov
ernor Smith to disfranchise the negro
in Georgia and since that was accom
plished he feels free to go his way and
let Hoke Smith go liis.
The Atlanta Journal had a headline
recently reading “Joe Brown True to
the Whiskey King.” It is just such
misrppresentasions as this that have
reduced the influence of the Journal
with its renders. ^
Kefawn or no liefuwn, that is the
question. And everybody who lias not
helped himself to enough refawm, let
him advance and till up. taking the
place of the fellow who has gone away
to get rid of what lie has taken.
'i’fie Governor talks as if the disfran
chisement law had not already been
passed by tbe legislature and a dead
issue so far a« the governors’ race is
concerned. And we bad been giving
him credit for accomplishing that
much.
The voters of Washington county
must register for the primary election.
This registration will lie sufficient for
all elections this year. All who desire
to participate in the elections should
bear thiain mind and register at: once.
Be careful licit to register twice, as this
may cause confusion. Tax collector
W. Sam Askew lias had registration
books prepared and appointed regis
trars fur tiie twenty one militia dis
tricts of the county. These registrars,
whose names nppenr below, have the
proper books in whicli to enter tiie
names of the voters in their respective
districts, and it is the duty of every
voter who desires to have a vAt.o in tlrn
choice of officials to enter their names
in these books. Unless they do so they
will not be eligible to vote. Mr. Askew
lias given explicit, instructions to the
registrars, and if these instructions arc
follow-ed there will be no cause for
errors or omissions.
This is the year of elections ns nation
al. state and county officials are to be
chosen by (lie people, and every eligi
ble citizen should have a voice in the
nifairsjof liis county. Unless you reg
ister you cannot vote. Therefore reg
ister promptly and tell your neighbors
to do likewise.
The following is the list of registrars
selected for the various districts :

If you have the “blues,” or if
you are irritable, or if you are
bilious or constipated, the chances
are you need pills and if you do,
you ought to take pills made by
somebody in whom you have con-
iidence and who have prepared
them with care. You can’t afford
to take any old pills that you see
advertised, but you should he sure
that they are manufactured from
pure drugs hy a reliable house.

accomplished.
Little Joe’s friends will vote along
with others for the disfranchisement
amendment in October and they smile
at the effort of the Governor to get it
