FOR INEBRIATES-
A Movement to EitalUlh an asylum.
Georgia will have an inebriate asylum.
Many things have occurred lately to
convince almost every one of the neces
sity for such an institution.
INDIAN STRINGS THE SITE
With this tract of land and these
springs of healing water the State of
Georgia has the finest possible op-'
porlunity to establish an inebriate asylum
That one is needed cannot be doubted,
when it is remembered that forty-eight
inbriates were sent to the lunatic aBylum
at Milledgeville during last year.
The state can easily establish the asy
lum. The only question is, can it be
kept up? It can, just as easily as it can
be established.
The institution may be made self sup
porting. The Kings county inebriate asy
lum, at Brooklyn, charges $5 to $17 a
week for patients.
“This brings m about $70,000 a year,
which generally pays all expenses.
"With our inebriate asylum the same
plan could be adopted. The pay pat
ients would furnish a large fund, prob
ably sufficient to support the institution.

ATHENS* COTTON RECEIPTS.
They Will Beach 78,000 Bales at the Bad
ot the Season.
A B.-W. reporter met a prominent
cotton man on the street yesterday, and
in speaking of Athens cotton receipts
this year he said.
“I think the receipts up to date will
be about 50,000 bales. This time last
year it was about 70,000. The receipts
for the last season were 90,000 bales,
aiid I believe if we had a good season;
that oar receipts would have easily
gone up to 100,000.
Athens is naturally a fine market, and
as a general thing does a mammoth
business. The receipts at the end of the
cotton season, will be about soventy-five
thousand bales. If this year is a profi
table one to farmers, next fall will
see Athens’ receipts written in high fig
ures. ' • —
