VOL XXIII
'■'lie Anti-Barroum mil.
The first thing necessary to secure
unity is to assure the temperance
people of the various counties which
had secured prohibition that the hill
did not involve arty risk of their los
ing what they had gained. So essen
tial, so fundamental, so vital was this
point regarded that the framers of
the hill embodied in its very first sec
tion a provision guarding this point,
namely:
“Nothing In this Act respecting the manu
facture of liquor shall affect any county in
which the same is prohibited by any existing
law; and nothing herein respecting the sale or
keeping for sale of intoxicating liquors shall
affect or apply to those counties in which by
local law, or otherwise, the sale of such liquors
is prohibited.”
“Hut should such prohibitions of the manu
facture or sale or both of liquors be repealed
>r otherwise removed,in any of said counties,
then the same shall become subject to the pro
visions of tliis Act.”
The bill in its next section provides
to abolish barrooms throughout the
state. This is its subject and object,
its cause and effect, its aim and its
hit, its beginning, middle and end.
The bill rightly takes its name from
its great controlling purpose. It is
the Anti-Barroom Bill. To deny the
name of the capitol to our great state
house, to insist upon calling it by the
exclusive designation of its humblest
department, would not be more fool
ish than to call this bill by any name
that did not describe its principal
object.
Now civilization (to say nothing of
religion) lias entered up its final judg
ment of condemnation against bar
rooms. We have reached the point
in temperance reform where noi one
need waste time to argue the de
basing and accursed evils of barrooms.
A bill that abolishes- them forever
from Georgia’s soil will be an un
mixed blessing. And the people of
Georgia have uttered t heir voice for
the measure. Already an overwhelm
ing majority of the State’s population
have shown their choice for prohibi
tion by local endorsement and adop
tion of the measure. Georgia is a
State and a majority of the people
have the right to embody their views
upon a public question in a State pol
icy and a Stare law.
Now, while this bill proposes to
prohibit both the manufacture and
sale of intoxicants for that use, it,
like all other prohibitory laws, pro
vides a mode of manufacture and sale
for all other uses, (medical, scientific,
etc.). And it is believed that the
sale for these excepted purposes is
provided for better in this bill than in
any other measure. Other bills have
provided for such sales in drug stores
or by physicians. By these systems
there are as many places of sale as
there are drug stores of doctors.
These numerous places of sale are diffi
cult to regulate and supervise. But
under the Anti-Barroom Bill there is
only one place of a sale called a “pub
lic liquor store,” kept by a vendor
appointed by the grand jury. The
business is separate from every other
business, and no liquor can be drunk
on the premises. The business is
under the supervision of the county
authorities.
The friends of the bill desire it to
be judged by the bill itself. They
have published it far and wide. It
has been printed in the Chsistian
Index, the Wesleyan Advocate, the
Temperance News, the Crusader, and
all other papers are asked to print it.
t'epies can be ordered from A. A. De
a
Loach, Atlanta, or Rev. A. J. Hughes,
Lexington.
The agitation for the bill has struck
t rror to the hearts of the liquor
and alers of Georgia. They have ap
p alecl to the liquor dealers of the
nation for a corruption fund with
winch to defeat the bill. They did
this in a circular which they never
dreamed we would see, but which we
promise them shall have the biggest
circulation we can give it. The cir
cular contains the astounding state
ment that they spent “considerable
money” to defeat the bilk at the last
i session. Will the General Assembly
lof Georgia allow this indignity to pass
Ijinehallenged and uninvestigated.

RKLIGIOUS DEPARTMENT,
Uod) ’ flother and lier Prodigal
Son.
I can give you a little experience of
roy own family. Before I was fourteen
years old the first thing I remember was
the death of my father. He had been
unfortunate in business, and failed.
Soon after liis death the creditors came
in and took everything. My mother was
left with a large family of children. One
calamity after another swept over the
entire household. Twins were added to
the family, and my mother was taken
sick. The eldest boy was fifteen years
of age, and to him my mother looked as
a stay in her calamity, but all at once
that boy became a wanderer. He bad
been reading some of the trashy novels,
and tho belief bad seized him that he
had only to go away to make a fortune.
Away he went. I can remember how
eagerly she used to look for tidings of
that boy; liow she used to send to the
post office to see if there was a letter
from him, and recollect how we usyd to
come back with the sad tidings: “No
letter.” I remember bow in the even
ings we used to sit beside her in that
New England home, and we would talk
about our father; but tlie moment the
name of that boy was mentioned she
would hush into silence. Some nights
when the wind was very high, and the
house, which was upon a hill, would
tremble at every gust, the voice of my
mother was raised in prayer for that
wanderer who had treated her so un
kindly. I used to think she loved him
more tliau all the rest of us put together,
and I believe she did. On Thanksgiving
Bay—you know that is a family day in
New England—she used to set a chair
for him, thinking he would return home.
Her family grew up and her boys left
home. When I got so I could write, I
sent letters all over the country, but
could find no trace of him. One day
while in Boston the news reached me
that, lie had returned. While in that city
I remember bow I used to look for him
in every store—be bad a mark on his
face—but I never got any trace. One
day while my mother was sitting at the
door, a stranger was seen coming toward
the house, and when he came to the
door he stopped. My mother didn’t
.know her boy. lie stood there with
folded aims and great beard flowing
down his breast, his tears trickling down
bis face. When my mother saw those
tears she cried, “0, it is my lost son!”
and entreated him to come in. But he
stood still, mother,” he said; “I
will not come in, till I hear first you
have forgiyen me.” Do you believe she
was not willing to forgive him? Do you
thiuk she was likely to keep him long
standing there? She rushed to the
threshold, and threw her arms arouud
him, and breathed forgiveness. God
will forgive you.—D. L. Moody.
Tlie Burden Bearer.
Who does not, at times, feel weary
under the burdens he is bearing ? No
one. All of us have cares which heavily
press us, anxieties which t rment us,
disappointments which grieve us, labors
which tire us, and yet these tliiugs may
be, iu a large measure, sweetly alleviated
by our casting them ou our great,
Christly buiden bearer. Not that we
shall be entirely exempt from the weight
of such things, for we must somewhat
share the responsibility of our situa
tions; cares we must have; some degree
of anxiety we must have for the right
doing of our work; we will become tired
iu our duties, and yet we are not alone,
thank God! There is One who is more
than willing to help us bear all needed
burdens. Dr. McDonald says: “Who
does not sometimes tire ? Even tl>e
strongest saints are liable to faint and
grow weary; atleast they grow weary in,
if not weary of, their Masters service.
But however much they may sometimes
tire, they never altogether sink. And
what lightens their burden and dispels
the rising mists of despondency and fear?
It is the presence of the Lord, the sus
taining hand of him who is the Son of
man aud the Sou of God. Dear believer,
your burden maybe heavy; but,however
heavy the burden, or weak the bearer of
it, courage up your heart, for when you
tire, he will bear both you aud your
burden, and he alone. None but Jesus
can give the heavy laden rest.” It is
written: “He giveth power to the
faint; and to them that have no might
he increaseth streugth.” O, youug
Christian, tired under singular burdens
though you may be, jet there is infinite
power treasured up for you in the Lord
of your love, which he waits to dispense
to you at the beckoning of your faith!
Let no weariness of baud and no burden
of spirit keep you from steadily, patient
ly pursuing a course of sacrificing obed
ience to him whose heart yearns over
you aud whose power is vouchsafed to
sustain you all the way through.
What's the use of getting hurt and lying in
bed suffering, when McDonald <fc Kinard can
fit you up in accident insurance, and you get
from J'2s to 450 a week while you are sick.

lu Memory of Little Willie Stewart.
Our baby is gone to that sweet rest,
Where peace will be his lot forever more;
While our sufferings are yet to test,
His sufferings on earth are forever o’er.
He is In that beautiful land.
Though it were hard to give him up,
And seems more than we could hear;
We know he is in that heaven of rest;
We hope some day to meet him there —
In that sweet beautiful land.
No more on earth can mother’s breast
His wants supply or with baby play ;
God gave him for a short while to test
Our faith. I wonder and wonder why he was
taken away.
But he is in that beautiful land.
God knows best of all what to do,
And with wisdom His laws are complete;
Some day he will call for me and for you,
When we can meet Willie at Jesus’ feet,
In that beautiful land.
Sometimes I feel I will not shed
Another tear, for God called him away,
From the sufferings on his little bed;
It Is better than for him to stay.
For he is in that beautiful land.
But the days are so desolate and long,
A shadow is hovering over my home;
I try to keep from weeping, it is wrong.
Because my little Willie surely is gone
To that beautiful land.
He left his little wagon and another toy,
To remind us of our sweet Willie;
But on earth we will never see our boy,
’Though in heaven we with him shall he,
For he is in that beautiful land.
Little Willie was—is our darling child,
In heaven he will be our hoy ' T
Lord let us with gladness go wild,
To meet our heavenly son, our earthly joy,
When we reach that beautiful land.

Editors Argus :
Leaving San Luis Potosi for Mexi
co City about 300 miles, the country
for quite a distance is a valley be
tween high mountains. The lauds
are fertile. Herds of cattle, sheep
and goats graze upon (he pastures.
The farmer with his oxen ploughs
the fields ; but, as we have said, the
Mexicans do almost everything differ
ent to the States. The oxeA drags the
ugly plow with the yoke in front of
his hoi ns. They raise corn, rows
eighteen inches each way, two to six
stalks to the hill. Of course, they
raise a bad ai tide It resembles our
early roasting ear. The barlej is
very good; so is the wheat. Do not
understand me to say their corn is
like Georgia, or their wheat, oats,
rye and barley like Tennessee. The
great agricultural product of the
country is the Maguey plant. It re
sembles somewhat the palmetto, ex
cept that its stem is shorter, and its
leaves broader and longer. I can’t
more fully describe it, but look in
Dr. Byron’s front yard and you can
see a perfect lii tie image. These
plants are set out very much as we
set out orchards owing to the rich
ness of soil, from four to six feet.
These plant* stand seven years, they
are mature; a hole is made in the
head, the sap flows f.oiii the roots
into this box; the owner or his ser
vant comes along with his little suc
tion pump and his hog-skin bag. He
sticks the juice into the bag and it, is
then ready for market, and it is the
national drink of Mexico, as beer is of
Germany. This juice is not intoxi
cating ; it is called pulque, but they
lake the roots of the small plains and
the old ones and distill them into
Mescal and Teqirlla. These are in
toxica.ing.
Now, I mils; pause here, Argus,
just a moment to moralize, and make
an explanation. I promised myself
that when I got in Mexico l would
try to keep my five senses, that is I
would see, hear, taste, smell and
touch ever} tiling that is in Mexico
which was not in Georgia. Now,
Argus, when it comes to tabling Mes
cal and Trequilla, my sense of smell
said not, tny sense of taste said yes,
and my sense of taste is disgusted.
I will moralize—lf the Prohibitionists
north of tiie llio Grande will furnish
each inebriate with half a gill of
Mescal or Trequilla, and he does not
reform, I promise to go hack to Mex
ico. These are their national drinks,
but they use the p'anl (after four
years’ draining) for matting, etc.
The reason I speak of this plant so
fully is because it is of such commer
cial \ alue in Mexico.
We are ascending the moutains and
the railroad iooks like the crfiwl of a
viper. You travel several miles
around gorges and you are after a fif
teen minutes’ run within a stone’s
throw of where you passed. If is a
narrow gauge road. Weave nearing
the Uity of Mexico ; the valleys and
mountain sides are gardens, the
mountain sides traced with the Ma
guey plant. The city comes into
view, it is not possible to describe it.
Imagine a garden on the top ot a
mountain and you have some idea,
but you are looking at one of, if not
the oldest cities in the world. Its
history is hundreds of years before
the time of our Savior. When Cortez,
with his Christian hand, landed in
1520 he found a city with Montezuma
and his idol worshipers, his slaves,
his concubines, his leasts and revelry
to his idol god, his sacrifices of chil
dren.
We go into the city ; the streets are
swept as clean as a floor every mom.
ing. The hotels are Europeau. I
stopped at the Ilurbide, sa : d to be
the best in the city. As an Ameri
can you are not greeted so cheerfully,
unless you say you are not from
Texas. Now, Argus, there is au an
tipathy between the Texan aud Mex
icans almost irascible. The Rio
Grande seems t© be the taw line. A
Texan south is au invader, a Mexi
can north is the same. I will make
this remark here, that while I aud
Ex-Gov. Eagles were together a
Mexican said : “If you wil* excuse
Texas we can whip the United Slates
Government.” We could only mod
estly reply: “You don’t know what
is behind Texas.”
But I can’t stop, we arc in the city.
The Catholic- cathedral stands in
the center of the city,' where for hun
dreds of years the-Catholics have been
contributing their inite, and where
they have said we will plant the
Christian banner defying Romanism.
These people certainly deserve the
sympathy of:he Christian world for
having redeemed in part a race of
heathens, for having made a republic
ot a wilderness of heathens.
We visited all the departments of
State. They are almost a copy ot our
government. They have a president
(Diaz,) they have a senate, house f
represen’ativee, secretary of war,
secretary of state, aud treasurer. In
short, they have a copy of the United
States government, aud it is in form,
not in spirit.
I can’t take your time. Let us ap
proach through the beautiful drive,
Chepaultepec. Asccud its heights
after stopping at the foot of the
mountain to examine the springs and
the engines, resembling the springs at
Macon. We travel up steep inclines,
and eventually reach the lop of the
mountain. We look in amazement,
the city is before us; in the rear and
a little to the right, but miles distant,
is the gorge through which our loved
R. E Lee led Scott's army to victory.
Here were McGonder, Brag, Walker,
Jackson, ready in thought, quick in
action. They enter through, or
rather over the mountain, they cap
ture Chepaultepec. The city is held
by Scott. The States are triumphant.
The south has the most active and
skilled soldiers.
Argus, I can’t detail, but will say
to you that I visited the cemetery.
They have 400,000 ueople buried, and
they never bury one under ground,
that is in a cemetery. The cemetery
is made of high walls, in these walls
are vaults the size of a coffin. These
vaults are (when the corpse is depos
ited) hermetically sealed. You can
see where it lakes space for us to
bury one ill the ground. They can
bury any number they want to, tlie
question only being the height of the
wall. I have been asked about col
ors. beauty ot women, etc. I did not
promise you 1 would explain ail this,
but since the question about the ne
gro lias been asked so often, I will
sav this:
I met every race, I think, that God
in His wisdom, could have made.
I met four thoroughbred negroes in
Mexico. Two of them went with me
on the Mexican Central railroad as
porters on the sleeping car. Two of
them came back on the Mexican Cen
tral sleeping cars as porters. This is
the amount of negroes I saw in Mex
ico. But I met a judge who lived in
the state which the negroes were
shipped to from Alabama anil Missis
sippi. lie said those- who could had
gone back, and those who could not
get back are subjected to the most
cruel slavery under a Mexican fore
man. The south is the home ot the
nogro, and his best friends live in the
south. lie ifTthe best laborer in the
south, when directed by the white
man or by intelligence. Since he is
our best laborer, and is paid more for
his labor here in the south lie should
appreciate his southern friends who
are ready at all times to protect him
when in the right. Argus, the
United States is paying more for
labor than any other country on
earth. Why should we not love our
government and despise the mean
spirit of those who are seeking to
disturb our laboring classes. We
need more laborers auct less political
demagogues and lazy loungers. I
will stop with this article and write
no more. My friends asked, me to
give a sketch of my trip. May the
Argus still live to represent the true
democracy of our county.

St. Vitus’ Dance Checked—A Loving
Daughter Saved.
(From the Kansas City, Mo., Journal.)
The following possesses an interest to the
Journal and ithreaders, because the case
is of great value from a medical point of view,
and further because it is sworn to and its
truth absolutely proven. The case described
is that of the daughter of L. L. Barbor of
Edgerton, Kan., who being duly sworn on
oa h deposes and says:
During the spring of the current year,
1893, my daughter Bertie, aged 13 years, be
came afflicted with a nervous disease which
grew upon her to such an extent that it se
riously interfered with her studies, and
aroused the gravest fears that it would de
velop into St. Vitus’ dance. My daughter
became so nervous that she woufd drop her
knife and fork while eating, and would at
times be seized with nervous twitchings
which excited the alarm of myself and wife.
About this time my wife read in a news
paper of a wonderful cure of the same disease
effected by Dr. Williams’ .ink Pills for Pale
People. So strongly was I impressed with
the facts set forth in the testimonial that 1
wrote to ascertain the authenticity of the case.
Receiving a reply which completely satisfied
me, I sent for a box of the pills.
From the very first dose a marked im
jrovement in my daughter’s condition was
noticed. She had become thin and exces
sively pale, as is common to sufferers from
nervous diseases, and her weight had de
creased to an alarming extent. After a
careful and thorough trial of the pills, she not
only began to grow less nervous but also be
gan to gain flesh.
It is needless to say that I was both sur
prised and delighted with the wonderful
cha ige brought about by the first box of the
pill i. She is anew girl, and all the symp
tom i of her disease have disappeared. Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills have certainly wrought
a w mderful and complete cure, and lean
■;ay nothing too good in their favor. But
now she is away on a visit, something she
w >uld not have thought of being able to do
three months ago. From being shrinking,
m >rb:d and timid she has become a strong,
hevlthy girl with no appearance of ever
having been afflicted with any nervous trou
,b!‘S. The pills have done wonders, and I
tak > great in recommending them
to all who are afflicted with a similar
di ;ease. (Signed) L. L. Barbor.
