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. —Journal. ATHENS* COTTON RECEIPTS.
