Cartersrille, Thursday Morning. May. 17, 1883.
TIIK QDESTLOX OF P BOH IBITIOX.
Thk Free Prhss i8 again made the
medium of the discussion of this subject.
As we nave said, we will give a limited
space to both sides if each will be short,
explicit and courteous. We publish on
our first page a telling arraignment of
prohibition from the Cincinnati Gazette.
Its previses and conclusions are well laid
and arrived at. They are to tbe point
and seem irrefutable. In fact, it is a
very strong presentation of arguments in
favor of those opposed to prohibition.
We doubt if it can be successfully met.
We think tbe Gazette takes tbe right
view of the subject from the standpoint
of that true statesmanship that would
preserve and perpetuate the great prin
ciples of government intended by our
fathers In the eistablisment of our free
institutions. There Is a good of specious
reasoning on the part of the friends of
prohibition that captivates many well
intended people who J > not stop to think
or to understand the difference between
the great principles of free government
and the evernasoent chimera of a passing
b u-.-ze of excitement >,i am g veil sub
ject of minor consideration compared
with the great quest ion of civu liberty
and popular rights.
We know that'.he idvooaie- >t prohi
bition mean well, > bile then proposi
tion, when put in the siiape of law, is
unwise and subversion of the rights of
others. There are habits of thought and
practice in the indulgences of Hie Anglo-
Saxon race that are ihe growth of cen
turies that have found expression and
promotion in their laws and tiiiiir con
stitutions which never he surrendered
even under the inmost surveillance and
police espionage, it wotild require the
most rigid enforcement of the most op
pressive laws to deprive the free people
of this country of th right of free agen
cy in the conduct or their private affairs.
An attempts of the kind may have par
tial success for brief periods, but popular
sentiment will eventually revolt and
throw off the yoke of such despotism in
a free country like, where neither reli
gion or morality can he either iuculcited
or regulated by law. Such legislation
is obnoxious to the intelligent public
sentiment of this country where rightly
understood and weighed in the balance of
public liberty.
We fully agree that intemperance is
an evil greatly to be deplored by every
good citizen, but sumptuary legislation
is not the remedy for it. It is an evil
that has existed from time immemorial.
It is an evil that the patriarchs were not
free from. Even the chosen men of God
were not free from it. We say this with
reverence and not in extenuation of that
evil. It is an evil that can be no more
eradicated than gluttony or other over
indulgences. It is an evil that may be
circumscribed in its results In such legis
lation as will protect society and pre
serve to those who indulge in the use of
intoxicants temperately the rigtit to that
privilege which they believe not to be
wrong and revolt at the idea of any re
straint or restriction in their private af
fairs.
Such if the meaning in substance of
the Cincinnati Gazette. Such is the feel
ing ot eyery man who would preserve
the principles of civil liberty and per
sonal rights.

It seems as if the year 1883 will he a re
markable one. for a vast amount of crime
and scandal. The press is tilled daily
with the details of the most horrid mur
ders, wife-murder being a prominent
phase of the criminal history of the coun
try. Social and domestic scandal seems
to he on the increase in the higher circles
of life. Last week a United States sena
tor’s wife obtained a divorce on the
ground of marital infidelity A con
gressman from Kentucky is now on trial
for his life for kil ing the destroyer of
his home. These ire bu specimens of
the laxily Of domes icimmor lity in high
life. There are numerous other and sim
ilar cases throughout the courn y
These lead us to ask if the. world is
growing worse in sin an I corruption?
It looks as if life was not -afe in this
country. No one o m feel absolutely safe
with his life. Arn in may bn shot down
at any time, or the sacred precincts of his
lionip may be invaded by the fiend of hist
when lie least suspects the infidelity of
the object of his fondest affection. The
daily details of these domestic scandals
through the press, in our own opinion,
can only result in the growth of this
great and damning evil. These details
make men and women too familiar with
these crimes and cause them to be less
cautious and careful to preserve the pur
ity of the domestic hearth. This is cer
tainly a growing calamity to human
happiness throughout our lau l.
What is the remedy? Can any one
tell? Is there less regard for the mental
obligations than formerly? Are the peo
ple growing, in this respect, to be obliv
ious to all that is sacred in the ties of
husband and wife and the relations of
parents and children that these should be
sundered and homes thus become despoil
ed of all that is worth living for ?
'the truth is, murder, rapine and social
scandals are fearfully on the increase.
Has the corruption of the times, in poli
tics and official position, t!i effect of
bringing these social scandals into exist
ence? To a great extent, it has, and it
is time that the strong arm of the law j
should step in to prevent death mid so
cial ruin.

The truest democracy is that v hich al
lows every vote to cast his ballot for the
best men for office, regardless of rings
and cliques that assume to be democrat
ic for nothing more than to use the term
for ulterior purposes, for “the spoils oi
public plunder.” Webster’s dictionary
tells us that the meaning of democracy
is, “Government by the people; a form
of government, in which the supreme
power is lodged in the hands of the peo
ple collectively, or in which the people
exercise the powers of legislation.”
Under our system of government the
people themselves are the sovereigns
who control this government. They
have Ihe inalienable right to cast their
ballots for men who will best subserve
the purposes of good government, and
no ring or clique has the right to dictate
how those ballots are to he cast or to say
that, a man is not a democrat who may
disagree with the dictum of convention
held by a few men to attend office either
for themselves or friends.
Under this idea of democracy we can
alone he true democrats when wc exer
cise the right of franchise indenendeutlv
and free]v. When we give up this right
we cease to be democratic. We are not
free We become simply the slaves of
narMsanism. Therefore, independent
ism in democracy is the true spirit of that
term, and the man who resigns that
right aeknowedges that he is incapable of
self-government and is unfit ri> east a
ballot, and ought not to he allowed to
vote at all.
Wo have heard so-called democrats sav
nnblielv that thev would vote for a “v.ai
ler” dog were he the nominee of “the
nnrtv ” Such derpoerahy is simple in
famous. It is the weakness o’’ political
serfdom that every free American should
scorn with indignation. We hold that
no vote should he cast except for good
government, the interest pf th a country
and the happiness and welfare of the peo
ple.
DOES A D YERTISIXG PA Yf
Tt is sometimes questioned by mer
chants whether advertising pays. The
question will hardly bear discussion in
the following facts, rates of transient ad
[ vertising being figured :
The Chicago Tribune, if is said for a
column a year, receives $26 000. The
New York Herald receives for its lowest
price column $38,723, and for its highest,
$348,000. The New York Tribune , for
the lowest, $20,764, and f or its highest,
$85,648, and these papers are never at a
loss for advertising to fill their columns.
Th“ir patronage conies not from any de
sire to assist the respective papers, but
from business men who find it profitable
to advertise. The sensible bnsiness man
does not consider whether he likes the
paper he advertises in or. not. It does
not take long to find out by experience
where it pays him the best to advertise.
That it does pay he has no doubt, and
raises no questions. Long experience
with almost every business man has prov
ed that beyond question.
There is no investment a merchant can
make in his business than the money he
pays out for intelligent and judicious ad
vertising. We have seen evidences of
this fact in numerous instances. We
have yet to see its good results fail where
properly practiced by thorough business
men. Of course, advertising will not
bring good returns unless the business
advertised is well conducted on business
principles. The New York business
men understand this fact and act accord
ingly.
We would be glad if we could impress
these facts upon our merchants, not fi>r
our own advantage alone, but for their
interests and the general prosperity of
the town in which we live. We honestly
believe that a liberal and judicious sys
tem of advertising by merchants would
greatly aid the prosperity of Oarters-
Tille.
GOT. MO DA SI EL'S IXA UGVItAL.
We take pleasure in laying before our
readers this week the admirable inaugur
al address of Gov. McDaniel. It is short
and to the point, and contains that was
necessary to have been said on the occa
sion. Its shows that his excellency, un
like many of our public men, knew
what he was going to say and quit when
he hid finished tiis speech. Hence, our
.columns in the publication of the address
it not encumbered with lofty flights of
meaningless oratory and foolish rhetori
cal flourishes in the spread-eagle and so
phomonieal elocution. The force ot the
address lies in its good sense and solid
patriotism.
Gov. McDaniel should feel grpat satis
faction in the outset of his administra
tion from the fact that his induction into
the gubernatorial chair of Georgia has
been attended with such universal ex
pressions of confidence on the. part of the
press and people. We believe that not
a single paper has gone so far as to give
his excellency any gratuitous advice in
the conduct of official duties. Even the
Constitution seems content with the belief
that no such advice is needed in this in
stance. We are confident that Gov. Mc-
Daniel will conform to the line of his in
augural address.
Tiie Pree Press will only he too glad
to aid to the extent of its ability in hold
ing up the hand of the governor in the
execution of the laws and in promoting
fall measures or the public good.
Ainasa Stone, a New York millionaire,

er number of sufferers from it than is
generally supposed.

JVIr. W. F. Corbin Writes Another Letter
on the Subjeot.
To the Editor of the Free Press:
I thiifk it very important that neigh
bors reason together upon all matters of
difference, especially so when the matter
in question is of such great importance as.
the one now being agitated in our county,
i believe that most all persons admit the
fact that the sale and use ot whisky has
proven to be a curse to our people; but,
when we come to the question as to what
is the best remedy for the evil, many of
us differ very widely. There are some
who think that, to abolish the sale pf
whisky entirely, would he a sacrifice, to
some extent, of our liberties. It is to this
class of persons that t now ifesire to
speak. I wish only to suggest a few
thoughts for their consideration. I ask
the question, could we be considered a
free people had we not the right to
change or repeal, at any time, any part
of our laws that should prove to work
injurious to our people? Is it not from
the tact that we enjoy this right and
privilege that we feel and claim to be a
tree people, or could we be considered a
free people had we not tiie right?
Then, let us go a little further and sec
what is the common tenor of the laws of
Georgia in regard to the protection of
personal rights. Suppose I wish to put
up a mill or some other machinery on
some water course, where I will be re
quired to build a dam to get a sufficient
head of water to run this machinery. If
I own the land and stream where I wish
to build, no one has the right to say thaf
I shall not do so; hut, if.l should build
this dam and back the .water on the land
of some one else, they can recover dam
ages or have me to cut down the dam un
til the water has its natural flow on their
lands. Then, this is not all. Should this
and im,, by ponding up the water, cause
sickness, the law requires me to tear the
whole thing away. Does this deprive me
of my liberties that I ought to enjoy ? No
one will say that it does.
If not, then do not think that the law
should allow me the privilege to sell
whisky when it causes sickness, death,
imprisonment, hunger, nakedness, insan
ity, and, in fact, every kind of trouble
and distress that could be'thought of. I
ain fully confident that, when the matter
is duly considered by our people, a very
large majority of tile legal voters of Bar
tow county will esteem it as a very high
privilege to have the right and liberty to
go to the polls and cast their vote to abol
ish the sale of this horrible stuff'.
Very repectfully,
W. F. Corbin.
THE I.IFE OF Mil. STEPHENS.
Atlanta, April 30 • —Editors Constitu
tion; In answer to many enquiries from
various sections of the country concern
ing tiie forthcoming edition of tiie life ot
Mr. Stephens, writen by Colonel Rich
ard M. Johnson and Dr. Willim Hand
Browne, allow me to state through your
columns that the booit will be published
in a few weeks, aud will be sold by sub
scription. The management of its sale
will be in many hands, and persons de
siring copies or wishing to canvass for it
should at once write to me at Atlanta.
The character and value of this work are
such as to require that none hut persons
of intelligenc, industry and reliability in
everyway should act as.agents for it.
All applications for agencies must, there
fore, be accompanied with satisfactory
indorsements as to these qualities,in order
to insure attention. The desire for cor
rect biography ot Georgia’s most illustri
ous son is now confined to his native
State. It is general throghout the south
and extends indeed to the remotest bor
ders of the union, and I wish to supply
demand tliorugh active, reliable agents
in every quarter. Of the book itself I
cannot now say more than to retreat and
indorse the statementin a recent editorial
fnihe Constitution that “no biography
of Mr. Stephens Ins been or may be
written can compare with, ranch less
supplant, the life of the great commoner
written by Colonel Johnston and Dr.
William Hand Browne.”

The Quitman free Press suggests to
some talented legislator to introduce a

expected to, and do consolidate the pre
ciutson the day following l'hey are
almost always kept up until midnight
counting tiie votes and keeping the tally
sheets,at tiie county sites, and in fact
have nil the drudgery to do, and they
should be compensated. It is a hard mat

willing to do all this work for nothing,

getting the polls open at the proper time
on account of a lack of help. The sugges

the present half dollar, hut the reverse
side was substituted seven bars and seven
stars, surmounted by a pole with a cap of
liberty. A stalk of sugar cane and of cot
ton are shown, around which are the
words, “The Confederate States of Amer

sued. Mr. Taylor purchased it from a

TRUTHS
The blood is the foundation of
life, it circulates through every part
of the body, and unless it is pure
and rich, good health is impossible.
If disease has entered the system
the only sure and quick way to drive
it out is to purify mid enrich the
blood.
These simple facts are well
known, and the highest medical
authorities agree that nothing but
iron will restore the blood to its
natural condition ; and also that
all the iron preparations hitherto
made blacken the fecth, cause head
ache, and aro otherwise, injurious.
• Brown’s Iron Bitters will thor
oughly and quickly assimilate with
the blood, purifying and strengthen
ing it, and thus drive disease from
any part of the system, and it will
not blacken the teeth, cause head
acne or constipation, and is posi
tively not injurious.
Saved his Child!
17 N. Eutaw St., Baltimore, Md.
Feb. 13, 1880.
Gents: —Upon the recommenda
tion of a friend I tried Brown's
Iron Bitters as a tonic and re
storative for my daughter, whom
I was thoroughly convinced was
wasting away with Consumption.
Having lost three daughters by the
m terrible disease, under thS care of
eminent physicians, I was loth to
believe that anything could arrest
the progress of the disease, but, to
my great surprise, before my daugh
ter had taken one bottle of Brown's
Ikon Bitters, she began to mend
and now is quite restored to former
health. A fifth daughter began to
show signs of Consumption, and
when the physician was consulted
he quickly said “Tonics were re
quired;” and when informed that
the elder sister was taking Brown’s
Iron Bitters, responded “that is
a good tonic, take it.’'
Adoram Phelps.
Brown’s Iron Bitters effectual,
ly cures Dyspepsia, Indigestion and
Weakness, anti renders the greatest
relief and benefit to persons suffering
from such wasting diseases as Con
sumption, Kidney Complaints, etc.
