Under this head, thecorreapon
dent of the Atlanta Constitution,
from this place, ia Saturday's is
sue has tbe Knowing to say:
In the race for representative the
prohibition issue will lie sprung ami
the opponents of that measure are ex
isting to make the campaign a lively
one. The prohibition party of Ran
dolph county has labored wtth great
energy for five years to prove to the
satisfaction of all that the general
welfare of the public had been ad
vanced materially under ita work
ings, hut us time advances a wide
spread disaffection is springing up
which threatens toengulph theprohis
and overthrow their administration.
The adjoining counties of C'lav and
Terrell are wet and it is argnrd that
the business of Cnth'iert has depre
ciated iu consequence. An active
-anvasser who has recently investi
gated the matter states to your cor
respondent that tne city of Cuthbert
will vote three to one iu favor of nnti-
probibition.”
It will "oe seen from bis first
sentence that tbe opponents ot
prohibition propose to run a iritis
key candidate for the Legislature.
We do not believe that there is a
man who lives in Randolph coun
tv that would be willing to face
ibe good |ieople of the county in
the race fur such an evil, and
hurtful cause. He says, further,
in the second sentence, "that the
prohibition party of Randolph
county has labored with great en
ergy for five years to prove t* the
satisfaction of all that the gencr
al welfare of the public had been
advanced materially under its
workings, but as time advances a
widespread disaffection is spring
ing up which threatens to cngull
the prohis and overthrow their
administration.” He makes clear
the intimation that the efforts on
the part of the prohibitionists to
show that its workings tor the
public good have proven n failure.
Is this true? Was he not chairman
of the committee appointed by the
last Grand Jury on General I*re
sentmenls, less than thirty days
ago, and did be not, in bis own

county have increased their prop
erty nearly a hundred per cent.

"that an active canvasser who has

know, nor do wc care who his in
formant was. One thing we do
know, and that is, the statement
is untrue, and we challenge him
tn furnish the Dames, and prove
the correctness of his statement.
We have done some canvassing
on this subject ourselves, and are
prepared to say, that there is not
the shadow nf truth in the reck
less statement made to said cor
respondent. So far from having
three la one, they have not a ma
jority of the voles within the en
tire city limits. This same cor
respondent, in closing his good
showing for prohibition, in the
G-and Jury Presentments, in his
own handwriting, says:
We, th* Brand Jury «f the present
term find comparatively little work tn do
—more especially in comparison to the
work of past Grand Junes, when the
comity "had intoxicating beverages in her
borders. This absence of work before
our present laxly relieves the county of
much expense, and unmistakably pro
claims that it is sober administration that
increases our industries and diminishes
crime. It will be seen that the civil
docket of our court is almost clear, and
the criminal docket greatly diminished.
It is easy to be seen that the financial

From Bainhridge, is now in Cullt

store. He is prepared to serve
the people of this section with the
best grade of work, lie is a grad

people get accustomed to potting

to get them to como tip promptly;
therefore I beg that you attend to
this matter at an early day. It is
very probable that in numbers of

We were asked a few days ago by a

electioneering, but lib couldn't vote
for him because be was not n prohi

At present there never was n finer
prospect for a big crop ot everything.
The corn and cotton crop, esj»ocifllly,
you find almost a perfect stand in ev
ery field, and it is in good condition.
I It the seasons will only continue, this
will certainly be one of the good crop
years with us.
A number of our farmers planted
wheat this year, ami we are glad to
learn that nearly all of them report
satisfactonfcre.Milts,
Young XV. II. Ferguson and sister,
Miss Xeini, went down to visit friends
in Fort Gaines Friday. Mr. Fergu
son returned .Sunday, but Miss Xena
will probably remain a couple of
weeks before returning.
Our sick spoken of in last issue, are
ail still improving. May they contin
ue to do so until they are entirely well.
| Probably the biggest thing in the
. way of a social gathering that has
transpired in our vicinity for some
time, was the picnic at Kev. C. l\
Martin’s mill last Saturday. The
weather was nice f*»r such an occa
sion, and they poured in from every
direction until quite a large crowd had
assembleJ. Of course there was no
programme nor order of the day, but
everyone was allowed . to spend the
time as they liked liest. At noon a
magn.licent dinner was spread, but it
was in such prodigious quantities that
after all had finished there was enough
left to feed as many more. The pit -
nic brought a number of young folks
from n distance: Miss Lena Ilathway
and Mr. Will Cord ray from I’> luff ton
Mfe llnttie Chaney and Mr. Charley
Weaver from Morgan, Mr. Jim Clem
ents and sister, Miss Josie, from Kich-
land, Mr. Jack Cowart from Rain-
bridge, Messrs. Jim Rolierts and John
j Wilkins from Colquitt, Mr. Sam Nance
and Prof. Paine from Arlington, and
Messrs. Charley Sealy, John and
Richard Crozier from the 7tIi District.
We spent a very interesting day in
Arlington last Friday, attending the
Sabbath school celebration of the
Baptist Sabbath school; all of which
we would like to mention, l»ut want
of time forbids. I. A. M.
condition of our county, under prohibi- ! next Saturday for the purpose of hear-
tion AiimiTiitafrittiatii hxv »nn# fur *1... U..r* \Y* I
tion adminiKtrutioti, has gone far beyond
expectation, and Iter sobriftv. industry
and economy has replenished the wants
of many home necessities, and restored
smiles and cheerfulness around many
family firesides. Therefore, we offer
thanks to our county for her wisdom in
blotting out whiskey, and hope the
youth of onr county who follow our pre
cepts and example will look back upon
ns and our conduct with pride and honor.
These facts drawn from the statistics of
our county advocate a continued prohi
bition administration. Should an at
tempt ever again be made to place ns
under the whiskey yoke ts. hope liberty
and wisdom will appear and forever blot
it out.
Now why this sudden change,
in less than thirty days, on ihc
part of this correspondent? The
figures, and statements made by
himself, clearly show that prohi
bition ia a blessing to our county,
and that under ita influence our
people are steadily increasing in
prosperity, and good morals. Wc
ask what has caused this change
to come, ao suddenly, over the
spirit of his dreams?

A pleasant little party met at Gunn
& Stanford’s mill last Saturday to eat
fish. A small trout, weichitiff just six
pounds, was booked by Mr. Lava
Stunionl, and as there bail been a run
away scrape but a few uiiuutesbefore,
he decided he had brought out the
mule.
There has been sometliisg said
about getting up a contest between
Dr. Binion and Sir. Green, as to which
can talk the longest without intermis

spirited affair.
