Atlanta, Oct. C.- [Special']—Mr.
Hull's lull for a permanent penitunlian
ami supply farm was lecoinmitted to day
This htiiics it.
Mr. Hull'said iu his final spt ech that
lie had said nothing ho wished to tak«
hack. If he had it to say aeain he would
sav it a hundred times stronger. When
1 made the proposition to put the ques
tion tu the people 1 could see young
men craw ing under their desks. They
are afraid of Joe Brown and his gang. I
call the present system an infamous
question, and I mean every woid 1 say
These young men who were in their
swnddting clothes when this infamous,
swindling system was put on the St»t*-,
are here to-day bowing their heads t«*
Joe Brown and his nefarious gang of
money changers Some of them want to
he solicitors and the others want to go
to congress. I hope that they will get
left, and 1 be'ieve that they will. ,
Mr. West, of Habersham, said that he
had voted against the bill and did it from
honest motives. He objected to the lan
guage used.
Mr. Hull’said that no gentleman can
feel hurt if the cap does not fit him. He
said that some men denied that Joe
Brown influenced them, when it was
1 .own that they wer» skirmishing around
with free tickets in their pockets, riding
on Joe Brow n*s champagne excursions.
Some of the gentlemen don’t understand
me. He had spent his time and his won-
• y getting up evidence, and if the legis
lature would not let him he heard in the
house, they would hear from him on the
outside, lie asked them to allow the hill
to go tO'the peo.de anti they refused him.
Are they afraid of the people? It looked
as though they were. He desired them
to submit the question to the people.

Clark Howell’s Bill to Restrict live
Sale of Liquor In Atlanta la Defeat
ed in the Houee —A flood Speech By
Its Author.
Atlanta, Oct. 7.—[Special.]—The
pecial order of the day was then tal en
up, which was the hill to amend the
charter of the city of Atlanta, so that
in the event that al the next election
Fulton county goes weL the sale of li
quor shall he restricted to within an area
of one half mile from the artesiarf well
on the business streets, and fixing the li
cense to sell spirituous liquors at. $1,500
a year. The bill provided that the pro
visions of the measure were not to go
into effect until voted on and ratified by
the people, at an election to be held in
December.
M r. Bray, of Fullon, said that both the
prohibitionists and anti-prohibitionists
were against the proposed measure.
They wanted to sUy'.d by the local option
law. High license meant high dives and
low license meant low dives. It was
monopoly. He charged that it was class
legislation. He said lhat he was in favor
of the people voting on the qnestion, but
thought that they could do so when the
issue came up, under ♦ be local option
act, on the 26th of Nove,. 'r.
Mr. Weil said the whoK question of
prohibiting the sale.of liquoi was class
legislation. At the last ele* ion it was
held that the ot -♦»***• } filing liquor
was that it was soiu .« *ti localities, and
not restricted to any section of the city.
The prohibitionists opposed the bill be
cause they thought the passage of the
hill would give the cause they advocat
ed a black eye. He said that Atlanta

I cannot say enough in pra'sa of
Vour blood purifier. Twenty-five
dollars per bottle would be a small
price lor it compired with the good
it did me and in so short a time. 1
was covered with sores all over my
hody and limbs, and I took slacks of
so-called blood purifiers and none
did me any good—in fact I was
daily growing worse. I bought a
bottle of B. B. B. and before I had
used the first bott'e I knew I had
got hold of the right medicine, and
after taking four or five bottles I
was a well man. R. B.

Mr. Howell concluded the debate. He
staled that the hill was introduced in the
council l.y a prohibitionist and passed by
prohibition votes. before proceeding
further he desired to say in reference to
a remark made in his first speech that
the quotatian was'nnt to be literally taken,
hut was drawn from an inference, lie
had stated thata minister of Atlanta who
had figured so conspicuously in the pro
hibition cause said before the corpora
tion committee lhat he would rather see
Ailanta deluged with whisky than to
vote for the restriction bill. The minis
ter referred to hail stated in so many
words lhat he had rather have unr.-
stiicted whisky, as it was before, than to
vote for such a bill. This meant a del
uge of whisky, and those prohibitionists
who so vigorously oppose the effort to
settle tliis vexed <|Uestion showed that
their cause was a frau I and a delusion
and the truth was not in it. It was the
hot-bed of hypoeracy. He was tired of
this everlasting strife, and with the
good, conservative people of Atlanta he
wanted it forever -titled. He was tired
of the infamous system of shadawingev-
ry doorway by paid detectives and hurl
ing innocent parties to the station house

of

to cure it, but never found any re

She, a girl of 16 years, was taken with a
very sore leg below the knee. I called
on the very best doctors that the coun
try could afford, and they tended on her
for four years to no purpose. Her leg
got worse every year. 1 used about 30
bottles of other medicine to no purpose.
The doctors said the only remedy left
was amputation. That we all were op

CHEERY WORDS.
For the Citizens of Tyler and Smith Coun
ties, as uttered by John H. Adams, of
the Firm of McKay ft Adame, Druggists.
I have been a practical druggist in Ty
ler for a number of years, and in that
time have had occasion to examine, try
and notice the effect of nearly all the high
ly recommended preparations of patent
medicines on the market, and as I have
suffered untold misery myself tho past
number of years from a severe lorm of
inflammatory rheumatism and could find
nothing to cure or relieve mo, I had al
most drawn a conclusion that all patent
medicines were more or less frauds until
about one year ago I was induced by a
friend now living in Tyler
to try a preparation known as
3 B or Botanic Blood Balm, and
after^a long persuasion on his part I fi-
nally made up my wind to make one
more effort to rid mvself of terrible af
fliction, and it now affords mo the great
est pleasure of my life to state to tho cit
izens of Smith county that I am entirely
U j * race ® of the disease left,
and all effected by the magic healing
properties of B B B, which I consider the
grandest, purest and most powerful
blood remedy known toman. I have
been subject tj inflammatory attacks
since ten years of age, and ud to the
present time have had four, the last
spell came over me in November, 1885
over a year ago, al which time I was
confined to my bed for eight weeks,
passing the nights in misery, with no
sleep except when produced by narcot-
ICS and various opiates. The week pre-
viousto us-ng B B B, »p to that time I
had only eaten six meals and
could hardly sit up without
support; but after using three hot-
ties 1 was able to relish my meals and to
walk up town, and after six bottles had
been used, thank heaven! I was entirely
cured and not the slightestpain felt since
that time. When I returned to business
in r ebruary, my weight was 145 pounds,
until my regular weight was again at
tuned, 210 pounds. The noticeable fact
in what I have' so cheerfully stated is
that this remarkable and unparalleled
discovery, B B B cured me in midwinter
at the very time my sufferings and mis
ery were the greatest I take it on my
self as a practical druggist to heartily,
cheerfully and conscientiously, recom-
mend this glorious blood remedy to all
suffers of rheumatism or blood troubles,
and not only myself, but the firm of Mc
Kay <fc Adams, who handle it, will cheer
fully indorse its saporior merits.

prescribe penalities and forfeitures for
the violation of the.*.ct, and to repeal ex
isting laws for the inspection of fertili
zers, and to provide for the appointment
of the state chemist to aid in carrying
out the bill. The bill came before the
House with a favorably report from the
committee on agriculture. The bill does
away with the inspectors of fertilizers,
and makes the manufacture, agent ordea-
ler pay a license of $100 each on every
brand of fertilizers manufactured or sold
also requires the State chemist to anal
yze samples sent to him either by the
manufacturer, agent, seller or consumer.
In short, the bill contains the features
embodied in the Alabama law with ref

mercial fertilizers.
Mr. Glenn, of Whitfield, moved that
the committee report the bill back to the
house, with the recommendation that it
do pass. The bill was so reported, and

fully one hundred thousand bales this

FINE LAND FOR SALE.
I)c»irablc Lots and Film Tracts »ar tVIn-
tervillc—A Good Place Xrp Athens—How
the land. XJe—Full
The sale of the Nabers property, in
Clarke county, comes off next month, and
as attention has been called to the no
tice, as published in the Banneb-Watcb-
max, we have looked at a plat of the
land and found it to contain some fine
farm tracts, as well as some excellent
building lots.
The place is situated about five' miles
from Athens and one mile from Winter-
vtlle. It contains 435 acres, and is cut
up in lots containing from- 2 to 07 acres.
In the first place, there are eleven choice
building lots in Winterville, lying within
3U0 yards of the depot The value of
these lots will be realized when we say
that Wintervi.le is one of the most thriv
ing little towns in Georgia. It is beauti
fully built up, extending np and down
the Georgia ltailroad for nearly a mile.
There are a number of pretty residences;
two fine new churches nearly completed,
and the town commands a business of
largeaiid growing proportions. On these
lots there are 30 or 40 cords of wood
now growing, the wood itaelf bringing
when the land is cleared a dollar a cord.
Back of these are larger tracts, with na
tive forest, well watered, some 1 • <hem
holding fine springs and others having
geod, available bottom lands, now in the
course of cultivation.
On Big Shoal Creek there are some
fine fields, which have growing crops on
them, On one of these lots, (No. 7)
there is a good dwelling and out-build
ings. No. 1, the home place, hasagdod
house and outbuildings with 97 acres of
land. This ls-p- miles from Athens and
has CO acres in cultivation. There is
some excellent bottom land here, besides
a fine mill site. Five of these lots, in
facL are good farm tracts, avenging
about 50 acres each: all of the land lies
well, and there is an abundance of tim
ber, consisting of pine, white - oak and
hickory.
This land offers aa inviting field for
investmenL Whether in building lots in
a growing town and fine community, or
whether in farm tracts of good, well wa
tered land, any one of these pieces bought
would be money well spenL
Mr. J. A. Nabers, of Athens, is the
executor and has the plat of the lands.
He is prepared to give any information
about them.
