’ Thompson, of Alabama, having
made a very careful study of the
temperance situation in that state,
r< ports that the lack ot enforcement
of prohibitory law is due to officeis
being influenced by politics or to

enforcing ot the law. It is recom

It is absurd to plead that the

wtorcement is thoroughly attributed
to the reasons given above. Mr.

rears, eight collectors in Alabama
have destroyed between 70o and

“Wii, You Tell Me’* Once
More?
Editor Democrat:
T he Post has again gotten off
nearly two columns of explanation
as to how men may become intoxit
ca’.ed in a dry section without get
ting liquor trom blind tigers; and
while I am not “backed” by a super-
abuud nee ot “that element known
as common sense,” yet I can unders
stund that such a thing is possible;
but is it probable that tney are
getting it trom Anaiachicola when
seen drunk in Bniubridge? Is it
probable that drunken negro wo-
" en in oa<nbndge are ordering
liquor iroru Apalachicola? Does
ii 't “common sense” suggest that
uch is n.,t the case, and is it not
■oifficiem ground upon which to
wan ant a thorough investigation?
1 iie ;Post asks if Enqnirer does
uot know that there is no city law
against the ’pale of intoxicants?
Gram that this is the case. Whose
fanlt is it? Does the Post not know
that the “Reform” council could
have enaoteu, and in thirty days
have put in forae such .* law, and
thus have been in position to handle
violators of the law? To neglect
the enactment of such a law, and
then plead a lack of jurisdiction,
amounts to a dodge. I don’t be
lieve they would offe r such an ex
cuse for failure to sunpress the sale
of liquor within the city limits.
The Post also charges Enqnirer
with being ashamed to sign his name
to his communications calling at
tention to these matters. It does
not seem to have ever occurred to
the Post that a writer might have
other reasons for withholding his
name from the public than that of
shame for having manisfested an
interest iu toe moral welfare of the
city. If it will call into play its
“common sense” backing, wind un
the machine and put it in operation,
it might suggest the thought that i t
is not best tor one who is endeavor,
ing to detect and point out viola
tions of law, the name of the one
who is thus engaged; especially is
this the case when “every officer is
known to the violators ot law ”
The Post says that a good citi
zen’s duty is to swear out a warrant
fbr the guilty party if he knows
him to be gnilty of violating the
law. It also admits that there are
bawdt houses within the city limits.
Has the Post sworn out any war
rants tor that violation of law, both
state and municipal? If not, why
as a good citizen, has it not doue
so? Does it feel that it .s its duty
to do so? Does it not think ih it to
call attention of the au hoiities to
the fact of the existence within the
city limits of such houses, consti
tutes a discharge ot its dnty, leav
ing the enforcement ot the law
against maintaining them to the
constituted authorities?
The Post’s “common sense” ma
chine mnst be badly out of order, or
it never would have questioned the
innate purity ot onr girls by saying
in effect that the rqasoa they are
pare is because they have not been
solicited to resort to a life that is
impure There is no misunder
standing as to its meaning, for it
saya “the virtue of hundreds of onr
virtnoos girls is on* to t«* fact
ti»mt “last songht the lowest chan*
nets,” and “in many oases had theae
channels been oloeed last would
have aimed higher." The only in
ference is that had it sought the
higher channels it would have re
sulted in the loes of virtue to these
pure girls. Had such an argument
emanated from seme ot the habitues
of the dives complained of no one
would have been surprised, as such
unfortunates are doubtless inclined
jo measure others by their own
standard; but for a reputable news
paper, backed by “common sense,”
to offer such an argument in de
fense of their toleration, is simply
appalling! It that the estimate the
Post puts upon the punty ot our
girls? Great Soottl Condoning
lewdness on the ground that it pre
rents more lewdness! Aooounling
for womanly parity on the ground
that it hat not had au opportunity
to become impure! Saying nr Mr-
fuct that soother n womanhood is
only sbfmikglt, and not innately
pure! Such an argument is an in
sult to the pure womanhood of the
land! Surely the Post did not stop
m its effort to “smoke out some
thing” to think plow ;ar reaching
its statement was. Has the writer
a daughter, and does he believe that
the reason she is “virtuous” is be •
c iuse some lecherous scoundrel has
found gratification for his last in a
bawdy Louse? Does this question
“get on his nerves,” and beget a
feeling of resentment in him? If so,
why? if he believes what he has
attributed to others? We are all
flesh and blood, but such a charge is
too sweeping. To say that the vir
tue of our girls is only seeming
virtue, and needs only the approach
of a designing \ illian to prove it, is
going too far. Brother, get out
your “common sense” machine and
overhaul it and get it in good work,
ing order, and I think you will re
vise that statement, and feel as I
do—that you ean’t afford to “stand
by” it, whether you ‘ smoke out”
anything or not!
I would still like to have an ans
wer to my questions, and to kuow
it what I have mentioned as to ex
isting evils is not true!
Will you tell me?

Jail Delivery.
For the severaltb time since the
construction of Decatur’s fine jail we
hp.ve had a jail delivery—the last
being on Friday night last, and the
escapes being four white men, com
fined nnder various charges—the
first being John Franklin, charged
with assault to murder a Bailiff of
Attapulgus District; Tom Bur
roughs, escaped convict from Flori.
da; Mack McCoy, from Grady
County, for safe keeping, cheating
and swindling; and John Harper of
Grady county, ehaiged with wife
beating.
The four men were confined in
the woman’s cell, which is of iron,
and the bars of this they sawed out
and escaped through windows, niak -
mg a rope ctf blankets, with whicli
they let themselves from the second
story to the ground, and then tak
ing a dog kennel, from which they
recently poisoned the catch dog,
and one mounting on the shoulders
of another climbed to the t<>p ef
the brick wall, surrounding the jail,
tied their blanket rope to the
branches of a near by tree, and so
climbe ■ to liberty.
They’ve gone toward Alabama,
having been tracked to he Chatta
hoochee river, and are doubtless out
of the country by this tune -
The reason why the men were in
the woman’s cell was because the
steel burglar proof cell was tilled
with 27 negro prisoners—11 oyer
its capacity of 16—and sheriff Pats
terson always keeps the races sepa
rate, as he should, and the woman’s
cell isn’t burglar proof, whereas
there bas never vet been an escape
ironi the steel cell.

Crude Turpentine Market
Bainbridge now has a market for Crude Turpentine that
will be interesting to every one making the product for mar
ket. Seeing that a market for this enterprise was necessary
in South Georgia, I have opened a Crude market at Bainbridge;
Ga., by reason of its many advantages as a shipping point. I
propose to buy crude turpentine anywhere on the G F & A.
or the Coast Line railways, within 50 miles of Bainbridge
Besides, it can be shipped here from either one of the rivers *
small cost. I intend that teis market shall be second to noL
or Crude Turpentine. Wilmington. N. C.. has had the repi
ation of being the best Crude Market in the world. It is tl
ldest but no betterthan Bainbridge. I quote virgin gum tc
ay at $5.00; old dip, $4.50, for 280 pounds. For furtht
nformation write me at Bainbridge.
