XO PROIIIBITIOX IX BARTOW.
(>ne of the wisest and best things done
by the state senate of Georgia at the late
session in the way of local legislation,
was tlie failure to-pass the prohibition !
bill for the abolition of the sale of spir
ituous, malt and vinous liquors in Bar
low eouuty. The most fanatical provis
ion of the bill was the prohibition of the j
sale of even cider. It was draw n w ith all
i lie device and intolerance ot a wild fa
naticism. Its passage would haye invaded j
lhe sanctity ot home. Jt was worse than \
u Spanish inquisition upon the move
ments of the people of the county of Bar
tow. It gave to druggists the sole right
to sell ardent spirits, on the certificate of
doctors, in a manner and under regula
tions that no honorable man and true (
gentleman could submit to as a druggist, j
The bill would have placed every citizen
under police espionage and the strictest
and most rigorous surveillance. Ilis ;
house would have been liable, under its !
provisions,to search by officials executing
the law. It was a mean bill, eonteinpti
ble in conception and intolerant and des- j
pieable in its provisions and its nefarious
espionage upon public liberty and per
sonal rights. Even Senator McDonald,
with all of bis temperance fanaticism,
promised, after the bill was laid on the
table, that be would not interfere in Bar
tow county matters by calling for the bill
from the table.
This, a most cruel and tyrannical law,
was defeated—a law no free people
should submit to. Such laws ought to
be resisted by force of arms. They arc
iniquitous and only subservient to the
whims of the wildest fanaticism. Senator
Baker managed the bill ably and success
fdlly in its defeat, for which he is enti
tled to the thanks of the free and inde
pendent people of Bartow county, who
feel that they are not ready to be con
trolled by self-constituted guardians,
some of whom preach temperance and
guzzle as much whisky as anybody else.
Now, we don’t want any such men to
speak for our own private actions at the
ballot-box. If they do not desire to in
dulge they need not do it. There are
many who are compelled to use ardent
spirits. To be candid and honest, the
writer of this editorial is one of that
class and would be a thousand times
glad if the cause were removed. There
are more men in the same dilemma who
are not known to the public as such vic
tims, and who would not be willing to
keep the jug, demijohn or the keg in
t heir homes in the event that they would
be compelled to do in case of prohibi
tion.
The truth is, a majority of the voters
and taA-paytus Go nut want prohlDllluii
in Bartow. Many signed the prohibition
petition for no other purpose, as they
stated, than to bring the question to a
vote in order to kill it. Scores of these
men made such declarations and said
they would vote against prohibition.
The anti-prohibition petition was signed
by nearly thirteen hundred voters and
tax-payers, and not by little children
and colored street walkers. The at
tempt was made in a circular to the sen
ate by a prohibition committee to array
the wealth of the county against the
poor men on the subject. That circular
was enough to kill any sort of hill.
That sort of antagonism between classes
on account of w r ealth and poverty is in
imical to popular liberty and in favor of
an aristocracy under a republican form
of government and in violation of demo
cratic principles. What a crazy idea it
was to insert in the bill the prohibition
of the sale of cider, or even beer, in Bar
tow county. It was the height of folly
and was an attempt to trifle with the
rights of a free people. Some member
fought to have offered a bill that every
man in Bartow county in favor of pro
hibition should he forced by law to take
from one to three drinks a day. It would
be just as reasonable as to force a man
to abstain. It is a poor rule that won’t
work both ways.
Well, the defeat of the hill will keep
Bartow county quiet and peaceable on
the prohibition question for a year to
come. It would have been defeated by
at least two to one, if not by three to
one. This is the information given to us
by gentlemen who have canvassed the
county on the subject pretty thoroughly.
By the defeat of the bill a great deal of
strife and contention among neighbors
and friends have been avoided, if blood
shed has not been prevented. The ques
tion was being warmly and bitterly dis
cussed. This would have been lamenta
ble. The expenses of holding an elec
tion to the county are thus saved, and
turmoil and strife prevented. Of course,
many of the advocates of prohibition are
sincere and consistent, while others are
not, hut are acting with duplicity in
claiming to be in favor of a measure,
and, at the same time, violating its princi
ples in practice. It is just such advocates
of any measure odious to the people who
are consistent in principle and practice.
It is to he hoped now that the prohibi
tion hill for Bartow county has been de
feated, that the agitation of the subject
will cease and our people go along in
peace and harmony and every man and
woman he allowed to exercise all their
personal rights according to their own
tastes without molestation. This is the
oidy rule to live by In a free country.

We don’t know that Mr. Sam Randall
will lie elected speaker of the house of
the TTnited States representives in Decem
ber. We hardly believe that Sam Tilden
will be the next democratic candidate for
president. Samrandallism and Samtilden-
Istn have destroyed the power and influ
ence of democracy in federal politics.
We have already had enough of both.
/>/,’. FELTOX A XI) TUK FUTURE.
We find the following paragraph in
Sunday’s issue of the Rome Courier: j
“Ttic Carteraville Free Press ‘knows nothing
of Dr. Felton’s intentions for the future,’ but j
says that ‘he is closely observing and taking
noteof passing political events’—which we in- j
terpret to mean that the doctor is watching for !
an njfeninj. The Free Press also says that ‘it |
is hardly probable that the people of thin district I
will permit him to remain long out of public ser
vice.’ We think that is eulliciently suggestive
as to the situation which he is ‘closely observ
ing.’ ”
We believe there is a species of flsli
that catches at everything thrown out to
them as bate. The quotations copied from
Thk Frkk Press by the Courier, as
above, is the same kind of a grab. An
organized paper will snap at anything in
the world to make a point against inde
pendentism. The Courier thinks too
much of its own way upon a statement
of fact. There was nothing “sufficiently
suggestive” in what we wrote Dst week
to induce the Courier to even think or
imagine as to what Dr. Felton intends to
do. Its editor’s imagination is far-fetched
and untrue. We meant last week just
exactly what we said, and any attempt
to construe that article differently from
its expressed meaning,is not honest jour
nalism. Mr. John H. Martin, editor of
the Courier, lias known us iou long to
believe we would prevaricate in any
way. So has Capt. Dwinell, the proprie
tor of the Courier.
The editor of The Free Press, who
was editor of the Courier in 1874, did not
like the nomination for congress that
year for the seventh congressional dis
trict. He was then editing the Courier,
and the proprietor of that paper then
said to us that he would rather vote for
Felton than the nominee of the Calhoun
convention. It was the course of the
Courier, under our editorial charge, that
caused the recall of the district conven
tion that nominated Col. Dabney in place
of the Calhoun nominee. That course
was endorsed by the proprietor of the
Courier.
Now, what we want to repeat is that
we do not know what Dr. Felton’s views
are for the future. We haye not spoken
to him in regard to political matters in
the seventh district since the last elec
tion, nor has lie to us. When we say
this, no man must question our veracity;
and the Courier has no right to arrive at
any other suggestion from an editorial
than the exact meaning of what we said.
Mr. Martin is too old a journalist, and we
have always believed him too honest, to
attempt to divert the expressions of an
honest man to a meaning he did not in
tend.
Wo now repeat to the Rome Courier
that the editor of The Free Press
“knows nothing of Dr. Felton’s inten
j tions for the future;” hut we do repeat
I most earnestly and honestly, that we do
1 know that “he is closely observing and
1 taking note of passing political events.”
If he is looking for anything more we
don’t know it; but, we do honestly be
lieve that it is hardly probable that the
people of this district will permit him to
remain long out of public service.” If he
is expecting anything we don’t know it.
What wc have "written in tlilo aiUclo
is absolutely true. Mr. Martin, of the
Courier, has no sort of right to question
it. If he should make a statement The
Free Press would never question the
veracity of the editor or proprietor of the
Courier.
THE XEGRO.
The negro problem is giving a great
deal of scope to polemical discussion.
\Te think the best that can be done for
that mixed colored individual is to leave
him alone in the polemics of the day and
allow him quietly to learn to be indus
trious in working out his own destiny.
If he cannot do this for himself, nobody
else can for him. If he has not the brain
and the courage to make a record for
himself as an intellectual success, nobody
can effect his success in that respect. If
Nature lias done nothing for him, art and
education cannot save him from igno
rance and his natural want of intellectual
power. God lias stamped upon the brow
of the negro the mark of inferiority.
He will always remain the man he is—
the hireling of the superior race wher
ever he may live.
At the same time, we are in favor of
giving the negro every opportunity he
can make for himself at his own expense
and labor. This is just what we poor
white people have had to do. He can
fling the ballot as glibly as anybody else;
but he cannot cast it sufficiently strong
to force the white people to give him the
higher education he is so arrogantly
clamoring for. Nor can he force social
equality with the Caucasian race.
Let the negro understand now and at
once that he must work out his ow n des
tiny at the expense of his own labor,
economy and enterprise. We are getting
tired of being called upon to help him.
Nobody helped us.
A lire broke out Monday night about
half past one o’clock at the south corner
of the Georgia lunatic asylum stables,
near Milledgeville, and under a strong
wind consumed the entire stables, feed,
four wagons, etc. Loss about twenty
five hundred dollars. It originated be
tween the rounds of the night watch,
and was the work of an incendiary. Ow
ing to the efficient work of the officers
and the asylum fire brigade what might
have been one of the most awful acci
dents of the times, namely, burning of
the asylum, was prevented. Tlie live
stock was saved.
Now is the time of the year when ev
ery umn and woman should pay for their
newspaper. Now is the time when ev
ery subscriber to The Free Press should
pay for it without delay. Some of our
subscribers are very delinquent, indeed.
We hope all such will realize the import
ance of paying up and act accordingly.
One-half of the world don’t understand
tlie troubles of the other half; nor can
one-lialf of the world account for the
foibles and short-comings of the other
half. One-half of the world don’t know
how the other half lives. This is the life of
mankind, and all should he charitable to
wards their fellow-man.
THE LIFE OF A. //. STEP HEXS.
We have received a copy of the life and
public services of the Hon. A. H. Ste
phens, written b> Richard Malcolm
Johnston and William Hand Brown, the
only writers who had all the materials
from which a true history of the-“ Great
Commoner” could have resulted in com
plete success. The writer of this article
happens to know, by a close personal in
timacy with Mr. Stephens, that this state
ment is true, and that the claim of the
authors, in this respect, is not fraudu
lently set up. This volume is the only
truly authenticated history of the life of
Mr. Stephens. It has been’ faithfully
portrayed by Messrs. Johnston and
Brown from MSS. by the great an l good
man himself. All the other histories are
pimply written at random or by guess
work. This work of which we write is
“the only authentic and properly author
ized biography of the great statesman,”
the philantropist and pure patriot.
This work is sold only by subscription
through Mr. T. K. Oglesby, of Atlanta,
who lias the management of its sale, and
to whom orders for it and all applications
for agencies should be addressed. Colo
nel J. W. Pritchett is duly authorized to
receive subscriptions for the work, and
wo tiro glad to know that Via h*o boon
quite successful in canvassing for the
book.
The life of Air. Stephens should be in
every household. Every child should
read the great lessons of a useful life
therein portrayed. The great Georgian
is dead, but his lile and labors should
live in the hearts and memories of our
children and those of future generations.
In Yazoo county, on the 9th inst,, a
party of hunters killed a deer that had a
human skull impaled ana prong of his
horn, supposed to be that of a negro.
The prong had entered the cayity occu
pied in lifo by the eye, and had grown
up around the hone, showing the skull
had not been put on recently. There are
various conjectures as to how it got there
but the most prevalent opinion is that
the animal was wounded and brought to
hay by the negro, and had killed the
latter in the conflict which ensued, the
prong entering the eye and piercing the
brain. The body of the deer showed
signs of other wovnds. lie was about
ss large as a two-year-old calf.
A prominent lawyer in Lewiston, Ale.,
was greeted by a lady in his office with
the remark: “You don’t know me, I
reckon.” He said her face was familiar,
but couldn’t recall her name. “I was
divorced from my husband last term. I
want to sue him for breach of promise,”
said she. She and her husband were di
vorced, parted and met, fell in love
again, courted and she was won. The
marriage intention was published and the
day set. But the man ran away. It is
evident that if he lias any mind he doesn’t
know it.
• “The reduction of tlie single-rate post
age to 2 cents, which takes effect to-day,
is a sound and wise measure, The re
duction in rates Wtlloli has now taken
eiteet is less than the reduction of ißio
and 1851, yet a tailing off in the receipts
for a short time after such reduction was
soon followed by a large increase over
tlie highest point ever before reached.
We can not doubt that the experience of
former reduction will be repeated in the
ono that begins to-day.” —New York Sun

the system, drives out all disease.
A Lady Cured of Rheumatism.
Baltimore, Md,, May 7, 1880.
My health was niv.~k Shattered by
Rheumatism when I commenced
taking Brown’s Iroa Bitters, and I
scarcely had strength enough to at
tend to my daily household duties.
I am now using the third bottle and I
am regaining strength daily, and I
cheerfully recommend it to all.
I cannot say too much in praice
of it. Mrs. Mary E. Brasheak,

Kidney Disease Cured.
Christiansburg, Va., iTBr.
Suffering from kidney disease,
from which I could get no relief, I
tried Brown’s Iron Bitters, which
cured me completely. A child of
mine, recovering from scarlet fever,
had no appetite and did not seem to
be able to eat at all. 1 gave him Iron
Bitters with the happiest results.

After trying different physicians
and many remedies for palpitation
of the heart without receiving any
benefit, I was advised to try Brown's

tles and never fouml anything that
gave me so much relief.
Mrs. Jknnib Hess.
For the peculiar troubles to which
ladies are subjert, Brown’s Iron
BiTTERS is invaluable. Try it.
