AID IS NOW NEEDED
For tfee Georgia Industrial Home
at Macon, Georgia.

And Aka That Contributions Be Sent
to the Home at Onco In Order
to Meet the Current
Expenses.

PROHIBITION WON
IN PULASKI COUNTY

WAS A VERY HEATED CAMPAIGN
Bev. J. R. Qunn, general manager
of the Georgia Industrial Home, has
¥ issued a statement to the public in
which he says the home is very much
in need of aid. His statement is ns
follows:
To the Public: Again I must
nppeal to the humanity loving people
of our state In behalf of the Georgia
Industrial Home, and this appeal is
nmde because of a most urgent ne
cessity.
This is the season of the year when
our contributions usually begin to
drop off. Perhaps the reason for this
is because money is not as plentiful
as at other times, and besides, people
generally begin making preparations
for their summer vacation. This
year there has been a greater reason
than the above. The San Francisco
disaster brought upon us an addition-
si obligation. We all felt upon to
contribute towards the relief of the
suffering people of that stricken city.
For these reasons, which are good,
our contributions recently have been
very slim, and as a result we have
fallen badly behind with our current
expenses.
Therefore, I am forced to issue this
. appeal, the urgency of which calls for
an immediate and liberal response.
Remember there are 150 children
under our care who must be provided
for and remember they are dependent
upon your voluntary, free-will offer
ings. In this hour of need and great
financial struggle I appeal to our
friends throughout the state for aid
and will appreciate any amount that
may be sent us. Let no one cost this
aside, thinking there will be plenty
others to respond and your contribu
tion will not be needed. Your con
tribution is needed and will be
missed, if you do not send it. I most
earnestly urge every one who reads
this to send ua something Much or
little. It will be grutefully received.
It will certainly come at a time when
it is gseatly needed and will cheer
our heerts In this work for humanity,
\ Don’t put it off, butBend your contri
butions right along now before you
forget it.
Praying God’s richest blessings
upon every one who will aid ns in
litis worthy cause, and thanking each
and all In advance, I am,
Yours for Humanity,
J. R. Gunn,
General Manager.

CONGRESSMAN LEWIS SEEKS
RAISE FOR RURAL CARRIERS
Hon. K. B. Lewis, our immediate
representative in Congress, lias In
troduced in the House a bill provid
ing for the increased pay of the rural
mail carriers. It authorises the post
master general to pay all regularly
appointed rural mail carriers the
sum of $1,000 per annum, payable
monthly. There is however, much
opposition among members of con
gress to increasing these public ser
vants’ salaries. The subject of rural
malls and the improvement of this
service which so largely benefits the
fanners and rural population gener
ally is one in which Congressman
Lowis is always deeply interested,
and despite the ooposition of other
members of Congress, Mr. Lewis will
use his best efforts to puss tills bill
for tlie betterment of the service.—

und grnml-children were present and
a very enjoyable time was had.
Considering the accident she had
about a year ago and a spell of sick
ness early this spring, Mrs. Sims is
enjoying as good health as could l
expected of a woman of her age.
is to be hoped that her life will be
spared to celebrate many more hap
py returns of her birthday.

The Ladles Were at the Polls Working

Hawkinsviiie, Ga, May 10.—The
greatest prohibition victory ever
known to Pulaski county was won
today, which means the abolishment
of the dyspensary system. Conserv
ative estimates give the prohibition
ists a majority of nearly 400 votes.
The contest was hard fought until 4
o’clock p. in., when the whisky men
realised their utter defeat and prac
tically gave up. Three-fourths of the
white citizens of Hawkinsviiie voted
against the dyspensary. No such
election has ever been known here.
The ladios held full sway at the polls,
singing and working, and gathered in
churehes,praying, fasting and ringing
bells and doing personal work on the
streets.
The Woman’s Christian Temper
ance Utiion instituted and engineered
the campaign' throughout. The cir
culars sent here from Atlanta signed
“Whisky Dealers’ Association” al
luding in an Insulting manner to the
ladleH here and attacking the church
es, proved a vote-winner for the pro
hibitionists.
Hawkinsviiie was thrown into a
fever of excitemeut and much indig
nation on the part of both the prohi
bitionists and whisky advocates yes
terday by the distribution of circulars
mailed from Atlanta to voters here.
The circular was headed in large
type “Georgia .Whisky Dealers’ As
sociation," and was signed in the
sapie terms.
An.insulting attack was made on
the ladles here, who, as the oircular
stated, “Imd no business to stick their
noses In other people's business and
meddle In these affairs, which should
not concern them, but that they
should do less active work and stay
at home snd pray more.”
It also stated that the Protestant
churches held too much Influence
over Its members and that the
church's influence must be over
thrown"
Many of the whisky men were
highly indignant over such methods
of campaigning, and did not hesitate
to denounce it, and It is thought by
many that the association did not
send out the circulars, but that it
was done by some unscrupulous local
persons, and a reward of $500.00 was
talked of for proof us to the authors
of It.
Church bells begun ringing at 6
o’clock this morning and continued
till 5 o’clock this afternoon, and the
ladies held services of fasting and
prayer.
The ladles stormed the polls all day
and took the streets In their determ
ined fight against tlie dyspensary.
The largest vote in the history of
Pulaski was polled.
Hurry! Hurry!!
I never anticipated having such a good
trade. The people seem to appreciate my
large values. While l am pleased, they
rejoice, and that adds new customers to
my store every time.
