The Prohibitory A iuendment. On Monday last the proposition m submit tc> the people of t he several state s aconk 'd ‘onal amendment to prohibi the liquor traffic in the United States was favorably reported by Senator Blair from the com nittee on education. The proposed amend . ent reads vs r oTo :n: -Section 1. khe ma ufacture, importa tion. exportation, transportation ana aale of ah alcoholic liquors as a beverage shall be be "eby forever prohibited in Ibe 1 Tilted States in ever / place subject to their i s’s -fiction. -fee. 2. ougress shall enforce this article by ail needful legislation. Ojs Col. William Arp always rises to the exigencies of Hie emergency, so to speak, as lie did when he said of tne Northern settlers at Tallapoosa “These people ho ve come • o stay and our people are giving Hie in a warm welcome. They will help ns ; n many ways. If they he e net got the iron for the:” furnace they ca l just step over to Bartow and buy it and by and by + hey wdi be selling to Bartow their wagons and wheelbarrows and glass and all sorts of contrivances.' Yit the Colonel, after reflection, would hardly be willing to such a swap if we ca j manufacture our own iron in Bartow and ourselves sell wagons, wheelbarrow’s, glass, and what not to t e balance of the world. Mr. R. H. Coupeb, of Cartersville, was here last week securing signatures to a petition to hasten the movement of al lowing Receiver Postell to issue t'e SIOO,OOO in receivers certificates for the improvement of the East & West rail road. He met with fair success among our people who aie extremely anxious to see the road put in good shape.—Cedar town Standard. This is a movement made by shippers on the line, w’ho have experienced the annoyance of not being able to secure cars to move freights. The petition was readily sig led by all interested at ever point visaed. In Mav the g oss ea rings of se\en T tive rai oads eve aged $443 a mile as compared w fch $436 hi May, 1887, ad $4Ol n 1336.

The committee also changed the bill so as not *o corrnrut the government to the scheme of securing a channel tw’en ty-elght feet deep. The building and loan association s a nroje-*t that shou’d not be allowed o eg. It : s a thing that ah can co-operate i.i and be material y beaefltiec. Such schemes have done moreforPhffs-delphia, Brooklyn and a number of other cities in the wa of building them up than aJ , most i a other agencies. Let our people pi: sh the project, and when well on foot hey will be surprised at the ben’ficent re suLs that will be early realized. The dirt-slinging politicians will have to get in the rear rank in the present national campaign. The people have abort decided to contest the ground on principles, and not on ugly personalities, sensible people know that Cleveland and Harrison are both gentlemen, to start w th. Tb ; s is well.

Morris, Newark, Ark., says: ‘ s vYp.s down with AVcesa of Lungs, and triends and pby rictus pronounced me an Incurable Con sumptive. Began taking Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, am now on my third bottle, and r’’e to overseethe wot son my farm. 1 1. is riie finest medi cine ever made.” 5' Reducing the Surplus. The disposition of the Surplus in the U. S. Treasury engages the attention of our Statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is the i eduction of the Surplus Consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption, there has been a marked decrease in the mor tality from this dreaded disease, and it is possible to still further reduce the number of Consumptives. How? By keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King s New Discovery and using according to directions, upon the appearance of the first symptoms, such as a Cough, a Cola, a, Sore Throat, a Chest, or Side Pain. Taken thus early a cure is guaranteed. Trial bottles free at J, R.
