FRIDAY, JANUARY 9, 18S
raoHismos.
r Mr. Editor*
I am In favor of Prohibition. I can
• Me no injustice it docs to any one,
Tint much good it will do all. So far as
•lurHuous liquors arc needed (if they
arc needed, at all) they can be had of
the druggists; but where they aro not
needed, Prohibition will put them
out of the way. There are many
who could, and who would be cured
of drunkenness if whiskey were not
offered them. As I stated in a form
er article, many good and hardwork
ing men are ruined by strong drink ;
their lands sold and both they and
their families brought to want and
mrirorititf, and sometimes they hare
to cry for help. TTliar m„„„, malt
m rhe unhappy marriages, the part
ings and the divorces granted by
our courts? Often at is whiskey
drinking.
What.rncans the great cry of the
blood of our fellow men now crying
juslice? Generally it is the fault of
whiskey drinking. We think ol the
ottco happy families, made miserable,
wires and children beaten, driven
from home, and otherwiso abused
by drunken husbands. Think of their
autfering, have they no sympathizers ?
Think of the Beck caso at
Gainesville, the death the grief the
broken hearts. Think of the many
•hocking murders,a ltd other lesser dif
flcul is in our own county. Think
of the court costs caused by whiskey
drinking. Think oftho Min thousands
of dollars wasted in Wilkes county
yearly by whiskey drinking. Is It
no evil ? Is there no remedy ? Surely
it is an evil, surely there is a remedy.
The help is in our hands; let us grant
no mere license for the sale of whiskey
But who is willing to use tho remedy ?
Wo ore like a physician who would
treat the effects of a disease, while
the cause is left unnoticed and un
touched. We spend hundreds of
dollars dealing with tho effects of
whisky wliilo wo take no notice of
the cause; nay, but woliconsu it. Now
lot us stop the sale of whisky, the
cause or the most of thus ovils. I>Ul
we know any evil or nuisance can
be put down by law except a grocery ?
When once licensed it is accordlng/to
w. lAcrnfptt by vtmiolvns, or <itir
offloorn. If a mill or nttnufitetnriiig
intcrogt U tliown to boa ntiUaiiQo U
can bo ami will bo atoppod, but who
can atop a grofiky ? A saw-mill man
was sued for damages because tho
mill frTghtouod a horse which dam
aged a man, but who dares to sue tor
tho damages a grocery does a com
munity ? The sale of whiskey is the
boat protected business In a coantry ;
a class of merchandise which is
authorised and sustained by a*liconse
from (he county to the fullest extent.
I think every county is responsible
for the sale of whiskey, and therefore
for tho evils consequent thereto. The
county license says tho whiskey
denier shall not be molested. She
grants him ail of his rights and pro
tects him in them. Shall wo continue
this ? I say no, a thousand times no.
If men will soil whisky and ruin men.
families, healili, fortunes and eauso
men to trample u|H>n luw, shed inno
cent blood, and do every other evil,
let thorn do it at their own Hsik. As
It now stands, every voter is largely
responsible for tho bloodshed and
oilier evils caused by strong drink,
fov they say by their lido use the busi
ness is legitimate. if the women of
our county could speak upon this
subject, w e would have a change and
that very soon. I ence had but little
sympathy for a drunkard ; but when
I looked into this matter I changed. I
feel for them as I do for other dis
eased men. While it is not true
that all are lost to seif control, it re
mains true that many are and all are
more or less so.
Let ns prepare to vote for Prohibi
tion by or before tho next session of
the Legislature.

MooreOeM, W. Vs , the Boons of s War
Similar to Dakota's.
A dispatch of th*e sth from Moere
fiehl, W. Vs., says: This city was
greatly excited last night over an at
tempt to get possession of the office
and records of the County Clerk.
Women and children were hidden in
darkened rooms and the streets were
.lull o£ excited and angry men. Fights
were numerous. The question is a
serious one and involves the scaling
of tlie Democratic Stale ticket elected
at the October election. At the elec
tion a constitutional amendment was
adopted changing the time of holding
the State election from the second
Tuesday of October to the first Tues
day of November. A number of
people, believing the election held
for Slate officers to he void, prepared
a ticket for State officers which was
voted for Nov. 4, receiving aoout
2,000 votes in the State. Oir one of
ihu.tickets William Loch, who had
been for years Clerk of this comity,
had his name printed, and he re
ceived at the November election a
number ol votes. As r.o other can
didate was voted for be declared him
self as legally elected, and announced
that ho would retain possession of
the office. His term expired yester
day,and Win Wilson,who was elected
at the October election, appeared to
claim the office. Trouble had been
anticipated, and a crowd of friends
of each from all parts of the County
were on hand. When Wilseo np
pcared at tho door of the county
Clerk’s office with his bondsmen he
was ordered off by Clerk Loch.
A HKSOItT TO VIOI.KNCK.
A fight ensued, in which the offic
furniture was smashed, a dozen were
knocked down, and the party finally
driven from the building The Mayor
issued a proclation closing ail saloons,
and an extra polio* force was put on
duty. In the meantime tho Clerk’-
office was being barricaded, and pre
parations for a siege made. In a short
time the attf e’i was renewed by (lie
Wilson men. Wilson was struck over
the head by a son of Clerk Loch, and,
it Is feared fatally wounded. Young
Loch would have been lynched had
tho crowd succeeded In getting at
him. The Sheriff organized a posse
and charged the court house, arres
ting number suit taking possession
ofthe building. Guards wero placed,
ami all night long pickets passed the
court house grounds, goon •fie;- (he
opposing force* separated, and while
portion! of them built bon tiros a round
which they discussed the ‘'war” the
larger portion adjourned to hall.*
where speeches wero delivered on
the legal aspect of the case. Clerk
Loch has taken possession of the office.
The affair simply from a legal stand
point has State Interest. If Clerk
Loch succeeds in retaining the office
it virtually neats the Prohibition
State ticket to the exclusion of the
Democratic State ticket elect.
OH. GRANT S PLANS.
Vaad.rbllt to bo Paid and (then Every
thin? to be Sold.
Gen. William T. Sherman, who It
tho gi S t or his brotl er, Senato -
Sherman, said when interviewed in
Washington City, that Gen. Grant’s
health was uot so much broken as had
boen represented.
Ho was suffering in mind on ac
count of his financial condition. His
tongue and the sides of his month
were inflamed and nicotlnized by ex
cessive smoking. His general health
too, was not good, but the General
thought that if his mind could bo re
lieved that Ids bealth would bo meas
urably restored. Tho efforts to re
lieve him, Gen. Sherman said, would
bs successful. Tho amount necessary
to pay Mr. Vanderbilt’s claim wool!
soon be in hand. “Then," said Gen.
Sherman. “Gen. Grant will sell every
thing he possesses to satisfy (so far as
the proceeds Will go) the demands ot
his other creditors.”
“What, everything? All his tro
phies and souvenhs and relics,s well
as his personal and real estate?”
“Yes,” said Gen. Shermau, "every
thing, everything.”
Will all when sold fail to satisfy his
creditors V’
“It will not meet a tenth part of
their claims, but it will show Gen.
Grant's disposition to set himself
right.”
•Having given up everything, how
♦ill he live?”
“Oil, his friends will soe to that.”
“Will you raise another fund?”
“Yes, one whoso income will keep
him comfortably. It will be more
securely invested than the other fund
was.”
-How much will It be?”
“Oh, that is not decided yet, but St
will be enough.”
There is reason to believe, although
Gen. Sherman did not say so, that
arrangements will be made by which
Gen. Grant will be able to repurchase
any of his trophies and souvenirs af
ter tho sale, at a nominal price. The
friends of Gen. Grant are still hopeful
of help from Congress,but this is now
much less probable than is has
becu.
