WASHINGTON GAZETTE 3. W. CHAPMAN, Proprietor. ■_*, J . i 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. J. 11. Fortsox. Married ladies, as well as the young ladies, take lessons iu Art Craio.

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. AYER’S J Cherry Pectoiftl.
