1 HE PROHIBITION BILL FOR BARTOW
' COUNTY.
We publish ill another column a bill
before the legislature for the prohibition
of the liouor traffic in Bartow county.
We do not see how such a bill, with its
strenuous provisions, can pass the gene
ral assembly or find lodgment in the leg
islative department of a free people like
those of Georgia. It is cruel in its exac
tions. It leaves the trade in the hands of
druggists, who are subjected to the most
rigid account of what they may sell on
the prescriptions of physicians. It is an
inquisitorial document that invades the
privacy of domestic rights and the integ
rity of the medical profession and the
honor of druggists. In cases of sudden
illness or sickness it places the lives of
citizens in jeopardy in instances of emer
gency.
The people ot this county do not all
live near physicians and drug stores. A
neighbor is not allowed to furnish a drop
of alcoholic spirits to another, whatever
the emergency may be. If such an emer
gency occurs, where the want of such
spirits happens, it may be the or ten
miles to the nearest physician and as far
to the nearest drug store. Before the ten
or twenty miles is reached for the physi
cian’s prescription and the filling of the
same, the patient may die; and, in such
case, the proposed prohibition bill would
be responsible for murder.
And, besides all this, we think the
people of Barlow county, among the
most peaceable and orderly in the state,
are capable of acting as their own guar
dians in this matter. We think they are
as fully capable of taking care of them
selves as those who essay to do so for
them. We think they ought to assert their
freedom and personal liberty at the bal
lot-box on this question, and we believe
they will do so if the test is to be made by
a vote of two to one whenever such an
election is forced upon them. That is the
general opinion in this county of those
who ought to know something ot the
opinions of their neighbors.
There are many who have signed the
prohibition petition to the legislature
who will vote against prohibition, and
there are hundreds of others who say
they will sign no petition, but will vote
against prohibition. They have signed
the petition, they say, to bring the ques
tion to a vote in order to settle it for all
time to come. They are tired of the agi
tation and want it squelched.
Therefore, we honestly believe the bill
before the legislature is a useless expend
iture of the time before that body and
will be a profitless expense to the county
in bringing before the people such an
election. We hope the legislature will
dispose of the matter as it ought to be
and give the people of Bartow no further
trouble and expense on the subject.
AROUND THE STATE HOUSE.
We believe that we have around the
state house, at Atlanta, an honest set of
officials from the governor down to the
lowest officer. It is the first time we
have been well pleased since the war ex
cept while Gov. Smith was the executive
of the state. We always liked Colquitt
personally and officially until that “cap
ital understanding” between him, Gen.
Gordon and now Senator Brown, since
which Colquitt and Gordon are said to
have grown rich and affluent.
But Henry D. McDaniel will make no
“capital understanding” in any office of
the state. We have known the governor
since the fall of 1852, when he was a col
lege student at Mercer University, when
that institution was located in Penfield.
We have known Dan Speer, the state
tieasnrer, ever since he graduated at the
Presbyterian Oglethorpe University at
Midway, near Milledgville, more than
twenty-five years ago. The state’s
money is all right and safe, for we have
our head staked on that, as the Hon. A.
H. Stephens used to say when he had the
utmost confidence in an official. Mr. W,
A. Wright, the comptroller general of
Georgia, got out the best comptroller’s
report ever issued. Billie told us last
week that his next would be an improve
ment on the last.
Bob Hardeman, is closely associated
with comptroller Wright and he it a
faithful officer. Mr. Wright gives a great
deal of credit to Mr. Hardeman for the
fulness and completeness of his last re
port.
As to Uncle Nathan C. Barnett, whom
every body loves, we hope he will retain
his effice of secretary of state as long as
lie is capable of service. He is well sus
tained by Uieur. Jones.a one-armed con
federate soldier. He did good service to
hi*beloved south during the late war.
The agricultural bureau is in tiie hands
of Gen. J. T. Henderson, of Newton
county, the native county of the writer of
this article. Gen. Henderson is abso
lutely absorbed, immersed and baptized
in the duties of his office. He is doing a
great deal in behalf of the agricultural in
terests of Georgia.
We didn’t see Frank L. Haralson, the
state librarian; but we know him to be a
faithful officer.
Altogether, we are well-pleased about
the officers around the state house. We
may i/ot include all in this present writ

THE GOVERNOR’* MESSAGE.
We publish in another column the
message of Gov. McDaniel to the legisla
ture now in session. It is a business do
cument and does not deal in “glittering
generalities.” He tells the legislature
what is needed for the people of Georgia
without going into political or partisan
discussion. We hope the legislature will
apply themselves to the business of the
extra session without mincing words or
shooting off their mouths with cheap elo
cution to consume time or to make
speeches for home consumption among
their constituents.
The people of Georgia, we mean the
practical,are getting devilish tired of long
sessions and repeated sessions. They
want the constitution obeyed in its pro
vision for biennial sessions of forty days.
It we have constitutional provisions the
people want them strictly obeyed.
Therefore, it is to be hoped that the
legislature will do the work in a busi
ness-like manner as indicated by the
governor’s massage and go home and at
tend to their private affairs.
THE FREE PRESS.
To-day Thb Free Press enters upon
its sixth year. Yesterday, five years
ago, it started out with a bona fide circu
lation of over nine hundred. It has
never dropped below that figure, hut has
run up to twelve hundred and fifty for
months at a time. But for non-paying
subscribers The Free Press would have
made money within the past five years.
Our subscription books will show a sad
and ruinous delinquency that will break
down any enterprise or so cripple it as to
make it worthless, in a manner, to the
proprietor.
We now have to say that we must en
force the cash system. We cannot afford
to send the paper on long credit. We
have lost too much already on that line.
Parties owing for The Pree Press must
pay up, or we will have to publish a
black list of those who won’t pay.
COTTON FACTORY IN CARTERSYILLE.
We don’t know that we ought to write
on this subject again; but we insert the
following paragraph handed to us last
week:
A Middle Georgia gautleman paid a short
visit to our town last week who was so favorably
impressed with our location as a manufacturing
place that he proposed to take SIO,OOO m stock in
a cotton factory as soon as $40,000 is made up
here.
We understand that 15 or 20 thousand
dollars of stock has already been taken.
We don’t see why Bartow count} 7 , the
eighth county in the state in point of the
aggregate value of her property may not
make up $150,000 stock company for a
cotton factory.
Will those who have even a little
money to invest look at this matter as
business men ?
LETTER FROM DR. FELTON.
He Stirs Up Politics and Politicians.
Near Cartersville, Ga., July 14.
Editors Telegraph aad Messenger: In
your paper of July 12th I find the follow
ing:
“In 1882 he was found with the Inde
pendents and Coalitionists.
“In the Constitution of May IG, ISB2,
in the published address to the Indepen
dents of Georgia the name of W. M. Bray
appears signed with Felton, Lawshe and
others.”
This was found over the signature of
your correspondent, C. A. N., and was
set forth as the principal reason why
Mr. W. M. Bray was defeated by the
Senate—after he had been nominated by
Governor McDaniel for the position of
solicitor of the City Court of Atlanta.
Had my name been omitted I should
not have noticed this remarkable proceed
ing on the part of the Senate of Georgia;
for I have net the smallest interest in
Mr. Bray, Governor McDaniel or any of
the parties concerned. As to the nomin
ation or rejection of any applicant who
can find favor with a partisan Governor,
I feel not the slightest concern, for I
have observed for a considerable number
of years that every man who is so for
tunate as to succeed in that direction has
either been, or p.omises to be, a subser
vient tool of the ring Democracy in
Georgia.
According to Governor McDaniel’s in
terview with . your own repor
ter, Mr. Bray had the “strongest indorse
ments,” and “seemed the best qualified
for the position.” This settles the ques
tion of ability and fitness, which was
originally designed by the makers and
tramers of both the State and Federal
constitutions, to he the only points with
in the discretion of the Senate in such
It never entered into the thoughts of
our lathers to prescribe a free American
cit izen because of his political antecedents
or his political affiliations. The honesty
and competency of an applicant were the
only things to be examined into by Sen
ators, who were empowered by the law
of the land to sit in judgment upon the
officials chosen by the executive, and this
modern system of rejecting or confirm
ing a man because of his usefulness to
party, was never practiced until demo
cratic and republican corruption and dis
honesty had subordinated all questions of
patriotism to official spoils and public
plunder.
Every citizen who appears as an appli
cant for office before the Senate of Geor
gia has a legal right to fair and impartial
consideration. The Senator represents
the whole state and every citizen in the
state.
Each Senator is a trustee, not ior him
self or his friends, nor against his enemi
es, but for the public good alone.
When a Senator becomes a partisan ad
vocate for one applicant or a persecutor
of another he is unworthy of this high
public trust, and in my opinion deserves
a penalty, even disqualification for any
office whatever.
A Senator who uses this office to gra
tify private friendships, or avenge pri
vate wrongs, or to promote in any way
his own personal or political interests is
as culpable, as morally guilty as if he
had received money as a consideration.
These Georgia Senators,whose names I
do not know, have proved faithless to
trust when they rejected W. M. Bray,
for political reasons alone, and their ac
tion is as much to be condemned as if they
had taken a fee from some other party to
displace him, to obtain' the office for au
other man. .
Governor McDaniel represents, as I
said before the “endorsements” of Mr.
Bray to be the “strongest.” The Gover
nor also says he is the “best fitted,” and
it is a little queer that 1 is democracy has
proved unsatisfactory to the Senate,
when it was endorsed by his Excellency
who occupies his seat solely by democra
tic votes.
The Governor is the recognized expo
nent of the democratic organization in
Georgia, and this condemnation of Mr.
Bray is a terrific rebuke to him.
It is a matter of which I shall not loud
ly complain—for the opponents of Bour
bon democracy have rarely ever seen a
stronger exhibition of malice and stupid
ity on the part of their foes than this
partisan action of the senate.
Mr. Bray advocated the cause of Mr.
Stephens only a few weeks earlier than
diu the organization. lie hurrahed in
May, and the party (so-called) screwed
itself up in July to give the commoner
its very reluctant endorsement. It took
very little persuasion to induce Mr. Bray
to declare his support and enthusiasm,
while it was a very doubtful matter
whether Mr. Stephens could ever unite
the factions of the organization and the
“irresponsible tricksters,” and I am safe
in saying Mr. Stephens was not their
choice, and it took heroic work to place
him in the governor’s chair—many thou
sands of good democrats refusing to sup
port him at the ballot-box.
Mr, .Bray was not in the Markham
House conference, so-called, nor was he
invited. From his interview in the
Constitution, I understand him to inti
mate he did not come to the front until
he saw the strengtn of the independents.
Then he signed his name. I was in that
conference, and I was associated with
gentlemen ami with Georgians. I, as a
Georgian, am still proud of its intent and
purpose—for it was solely an effort to
select an independent candidate for Gov
ernor, and to present a name which was
not defiled by the workings of organized
democracy—its impeachments its convict
leases, its state railroad leases, its Mur
phy tees, its traffic in a senatorial seat,
with all the ugly rumors couneeted there
with—its ring domination and intolerant
proscription.
I was a member of that Markham
House conference, and every person pre
sent united in requesting me to become
their candidate for Governor, t declin
ed, that I might be able to request Hon.
Alex Stephens (then a pronounced inde
pendent Democrat) to ofi'er his name for
that position, and my selection was con
firmed by the party afterwards. Con
gressman Hammond classed Mr. Ste
phens with Mr. Speer and myself as the
three Georgia independents—“Shadrach,
Meshach'. and Abednego”—and was so
emphatic in the opinion, that lie declared
it in a speech before the house of repre
sentatives.
When Mr. Bray signed his name to the
independent address, there were none
other than democrats present, and no
others signed it. He was in democratic
company. They were unanimous in their
choice, and continued in the same mind
until Mr. Stephens went over to the or
ganization, at the earnest request of cer
tain “bosses,” who pleaded with him to
save them from defeat and to become
their candidate.
If Mr. Bray had consulted with the
commercial management of Georgia poli
tics, and accepted their designs as the
policy of the party, there might have
been quite a change in the opinion of the
senate as to Mr. Bray’s fitness for the
office of solicitor, and I affirm that their
partisan action in thus rejecting him is
deserving the condemnation of every
patriot and every honest supporter of
Mr. Stephens in the state.
Perhaps if Mr. Bray had waited until
the signal was given from the “palace
car” —in its transit from Washington to
Georgia—bearing, as it did, a most pre
cious captive, in periumed chains —who
had been so lately captured by the organ
ized from the independent ranks —lie
would have been considered “truly loy
al” and qualified to prosecute the dirty
criminals of our capital city.
It is possible that Governor McDaniel
may feel the mailed hand of power very
often, as it is well known that he was the
chairman of the investigating committee
which ventilated the tactics and uncov
ered the secrets of the ratification of the
State railroad lease, in 1876, and he
greatly angered the “bosses.”
By this patriotic service lie laid the
foundation of that popularity which ele
vated him to his present position, and
while his party lias rebuked him for ap
pointing Mr. Bray, yet if he possesses
that incorruptible integrity with which
he is credited by the people of Georgia,
their petulant action will only stimulate
him in his fidelity to the interests of the
people and make him more fearless in
defending the light and in maintaining
the policy of u non-partisan administra
tion. ~
Will he stand by his manhood, or will
he succumb to the pressure? Will he
yield to the thumb-screws which the
ring-masters have applied through the
senate?
In my opinion this is the turning point
in his administration, and the state looks
on with interest to see which road he
will take. I have always wished him
well, and I do so now, for his own sake
and for the good of the state, but if lie
yields to certain influences that shall be
nameless here, then we may expect noth
ing better than has heretofore corrupted
and disgraced the state.
If he gives no sign ot sympathy with
the interests of the people, and begins to
apologize aud explain and yield and cower
and estimate the probabilities of a renom
ination through certain political influ
ences, then we shall feel that all our con
fidence and hope of reform has been mis
placed and, as heretofore, submerged un
der the pecuniary interests of the tricks
ters.
If the Senate Usefe its authority to con
trol the governor thus unfairly, we may
expect such an unwise policy to result in
subsidizing all the offices in the state—
judicial and civil—and, if not checked,
will certainly undermine the foundation
stones cf this republic. This is centrali
zation—this is the power so aptly illus
trated by Hon. Thomas Hardeman as
having “a head in Atlanta and a tail that
wiggles in every county in the state.”
This is the political system which ap- _
points judges and selects solicitors, which
siiifts Uuited States senators and picks
out governors, which elects congressmen
and manipulates delegates to presidential
conventions, and which hurrahs for de
mocracy and “still-hunts” witli radical
ism, which calls itself the champion of
the white man and is frequently caught
iu the midnight councils of the colored
man—a party without a principle, but
claiming all principles, all shades of
opinion, with but one aim and end in
their polities, viz., to make the public
offices a fruitful source of private pecun
iary gain.
If Mr. Bray had helped to nominate
General Grant at Chicago in 1868 and had
pronounced himself an advocate of negro
suffrage at that time, he might have been
confirmed by the Georgia state senate for
a solicitor of a city court (if he was too
modest to aspire to a chief justiceship).
If lie had told Hon. Nelson Tift he “was
a republican, had voted for Grant and
Colfax and worked for their success,”
then he could have sailed a call for Gov
ernor Bullock in company with all the
“black aud tan,” and yet stand high in
favor with the present democratic organ
ization.
If Mr. Bray had denounced the demo
crats of Georgia as a “heterogeneous
mass of antagonistic elements, composed
of vvhigs, democrats, know-nothings, se
cessionists, union men, white men, mes
tizoes and negroes,” then he would have
been a suitable man to represent the
democratic party in the United States
senate —no doubt of it, whatever.
If he had insulted the party of Jenkins,
Cobb, Toombs and Lawton by saying,
“In future your democratic party will
court the influence of the negro to con
trol his vote, and you are already pledged
to negro suffrage,” fhen he would have
been lord and master of every 7 Georgia
legislature since the war, so far as his
politics went, especially if aided by un
told sums of money.
It was a great critxe to sign a call for
Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens, in company
with “Felton, Lawshe and others,” when
that gentleman was so delighted with
both the call and the signers as to say, “I
thank you for it. You have managed
matters admirably—looking as I con
ceived to the best interests of the state;”
to which letter of thanks he affixed his
sign manual.
Mr. Stephens delayed his letter of
thanks until lie saw the published ac
count of the independent meeting (in
which Mr. Bray took a part), and had
also viewed tiie address in full, with the
comments of the Atlanta daily papers,
pro and con. Then he wrote me the above
mentioned letter, and no word of dissent
or contradiction reached me until after he
had received tiie endorsement of the in
dependents of Georgia.
If be was so well pleased, and if Mr.
Bray’s signature gave him no offense, it
is late in tiie day for a ring senate to re
sent it, especially when they 7 are so for
giving as to stop litigation in the State
railroad matter, and leave Georgia’s great
property defenseless and in danger, and
depreciated four millions of dollars.
But I will say no more at present, for
unless the organized democracy changes
its tactics it will become more popular to
enjoy its ill-will rather than to suffer the
odium of its good opinion. Respectfully,
W. 11. Felton.
EXPLANATORY.
At home, July 18,1553. —Mr. Willing
ham : If you should re-publish my letter
which appeared in tiie Macon Telegraph
of yesterday, as you so kindly proffered
to do, please permit me to explain one
paragraph, as I see there is an ambiguity
in it that I prefer to correct. After the
word “depreciated,” which I used in
speaking of the action of the senate in
regard to stopping legislation on tiie state
railroad lease, I omitted tiie words “as
alleged,” making the sentence read:
—“amt depreciated, as alleged, four millions
ot dollars.”
It is not my opinion that this railroad
property has depreciated to any 7 consider
able extent. I think the agitation of the
subject at the present time, and tiie great
hurrah about depreciated yalue, is only a
“feeler,” to see how the public will en
dure the transfer of Georgia’s great rail
road property to the present lessees, at a
nominal price. It is understood that
some of tiie lessees have a controlling in
terest in a rival competing railroad, and
I have no doubt but there will he an ef
fort made to give them full control when
the lease expires.
I hope the people of Georgia will un
derstand and recollect that all this al
leged depreciation of value, all this ren
tal at mere nominal value, all this pros
pective ruin and waste of Georgia’s great
property, has been the work of tiie or
ganized democracy. When you examine
the subject fr,o:n tiie time the lease was
ratified, in 1 ,J 72, and tiie miserable ex
posures that were brough; to view in
1870, and all the subsequent action up to
the present, tiie belief is overwhelming
that there has been a deliberate plot to
rob the state by crippling this immense
source of revenue.
This fastidious senate could no; confirm
Bray, but they are oblivious to the inter
ests of the tax-payers of the state. It is
the old story of “straining at a gnat and
swallowing a camel.” Yours, truly 7,
