passage of a local option law, the sub-'
stance of which is found in the ac
companying petition.
Our ‘’Union,’’ embracing in its
membership Christian women ot all
denominations, through the under
signed committee beg you to give
them the benefit of your influence and
personal efforts, to aid them in get
ting the enclosed petitions signed by
as many residents of Georgia as may
desire to do so. By the term ‘citizen’
is meant all persons born or natural
ized in the United States and residing
in Georgia.
If your duties are such as to
preclude your personal efforts in cir
culating the enclosed, they ask
thal you place it in the hands of some
one who can and will thoroughly can
vass the community in getting the
petition signed; and when signed, re
turn it by mail to The Woman’s
Christian Union, Atlanta, Ga.
A* will be seen by the petition,
this general local option law only
affects localities which have no local
laws on the subject.
This method of legislation has also
many advantages over others, and we
mention a few of Iherc : .
1. It avoids the expense and Iron
ble ot a special local bill and a special
election, necessary under existing
law.
2. It requires the question to be
nreseuied as a principle, and not as a
parly measure. The ballot _ may be
cast for any candidate, but if it has
on it, “For Prohibitionor “Against
Prohibition,’’ it is counted ou that
issue.
3. The prohibition will not be ens
forced until a majority of the qualified
voters who choose to vote on the
question, say by their ballots that they
wish it; thus leaving to the fathers of
the boys who are liable to be led as
tray, the privilege ot deciding for
themselves if they will allow tempta
tion to drunkenness to be placed in
the way of their children.

Milledgeville Recorder: There

The Marietta and North Georgia
railroad authorities are pushing the
road right on toward completion.
Work will be begun, laying of ties
and building trestles on the extension
next Tuesday, it is said. Messrs
Kinsay and Eagier, the two gentle
men who are striving to push the
road through, are in Pickens county
trying to get up the desired amount
to be raised in that county, 810,000.
The west bound freight and accom*
modation train on the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway broke
through the trestle over Back swamp
in Liberty county, three miles east of
the Altamaha river, on the 30th,
killing one of the train hands, a col
ored man, and badly injuring the en
gineer and fireman. Eight freight
boxes were thrown in the wreck,
leaving one box car ann the passen
ger coach with several passengers on
the track.
At Macon on the 2d the main pipe
conveying the steam front the boiler
to the engine at the cotton factory ex
ploded, scalding to death the fttlorcd
fireman, Frank Dorsey. The explo
sion caused the walls of the engine
house -to crack, but did little other
damage. No other persons 'were
near at the time, the engineer not
having come to work. He teas terri
bly burned about the face and
shoulders and was found doubled np
under the fly wheel.. His death was
almost instantaneous, the concussion
being very great.
The verdict gained by Hoke Smith,
E-q., (or Henry C. Tanner against
the Air-Line railroad, 814,400, is the
largest ever given in Fulton county
for damages. The Constitution says
the highest verdict ever obtained for
damages from a railroad in the state
was given to Col. Jas. D. Wdidell, ot
Cobb county, and was about 830,000.
This was compromised by Col. Wad
dell taking about halt of the-sum
awarded. Dr. Boring got, it is said,
in a suit in which his leg wa9 not lost,
but merely injured, a 810,000 verdict,
Augusta News: ‘‘He is a ‘planter.’
He lives about sixteen miles from An

mules and a wagon lie hauled a File
ot inferior cotton into town and sold
it tor 830 With the proceedb and
with the aid of the aforesaid mules
and wagon, he hauled back to hi
plantation the following items: One
hundred pounds of sides, cut well up
in the shoulder, 812.50 , ten bushels
of corn, 87; one hale of hay, 84; one
bariel of corn meal, 83"; one barrel of
potatoes, 82.90; total cost of items,
829.40, ieaving the sum ot sixty cents
to be extended in wet groceries. This
planter believes in planting every acre
