Anticipating this condition of affairs,
we have laid deep and broad foundations for the
'xy autumn trade and are now prepared, perhaps, bet
ter than ever before to meet the requirements of custo
mers. Our buyei who recently visited the northern mar
kets has been most fortunate in Lis selections, and we
invite inspection of our superb stock, confident that it
is not surpassed, if indeed equaled in this town. Our
new goods are arriving daily. Before buying your fall
dress goods, shoes, hats, millinery, etc., call and see us.

COM n IT NICATED.
Messrs. Editors—l trust that I am
conservative and in no way disposed to
abridge the rights and privileges of
others—certainly I do not care to enter
into a newspaper quarrel with any one—
but 1 cannot allow the communication
in your last issue favoring the sale of
whisky in Butts county to pass without
entering my solemn and most decided
protest.
The author says ho was censured for
expressing his views in a former paper
upon this subject. I wish to say that I
am glad that he was, and I do not think
that ho could have been eeusured too se
verely, and I predict that l.e will con
tinue to be censured by the best people
iu this oouuty as long as he occupies
such a position. How can he, or any
man, expect to escape censure who
openly sets himself up as the advocate
of the sale of whisky? How can any
man with a family keep from censuring
himself when he occupies such a posi
tion? Nay, how can any good citizen
do it?
The author seems nervous because
the grand jury recommended the em
ployment of detectives to look after the
violators of the law. What must we in
fer from this? Why, evidently there are
some people who are afraid of an in
vestigation. Every law abidiug citizeu
is willing to have all the investigations
made that are necessary. Iu my opin
ion the jury box does uot ueed to in
vestigate the dispensary law, but to in
vestigate the whisky crooks and dis
pensers in this county. If it requires
the employment of detectives, let them
be employed.
He says the people have not decided
that they can dispense entirely with the
use of whisky. A sad commentary upon
the people, if by this he means that they
must use it as a beverage. I will grant
that it is needful for medicinal pur
poses, but our physicians are the best
judges as to how or when it should be
used. The man who must keep and
drink whisky as a beverage is a poor
specimen of manhood. Numbers who
thought it indispensable, liaye seen their
folly, and abaudoued its use, and that
number is growing daily.
He deplores the fact that the present
law tends to stealthy, secret habits, fc.,e
aud does not prohibit. The answer to
this fallacy is that the law agaiust steal-
SIGHS OF GREAT BUSINESS REVIVAL ARE PLAINLY TO BE SEEN,
ing tends to stealthy, sneaking habits,
and it does not preveuG men from steal
ing, therefore it should be abolished.
There are rogues right here in Jackson.
We cannot hinder them by the law we
have from stealing, therefore let us
abolish the law. The legislature is
soou to meet, and we ought to advise
our representative to have Butts exempt
from this pernicious(?) law. Give the
rogues the full right of way, lest we in
jure them and fail to preevnt them
from stealing i\pyvvay. Thoughtful peo
ple do not reason this way.
He is disturbed about the whisky the
farmers have on hand, made from the
recent fruit. They want to sell it. I
am sorry they had so little conscience
as to make their fruit crop into brandy
for sale, and I would be sorrier for those
of us who believe whisky making and
whisky drinking to be the curse of ouv
land to encourage a business so deadly
by sacrificing principle and the law of
God in establishing a ready market for
the vile stuff. The word of God says,
“Woe unto him that givetli his neighbor
drink, that putteth the bottle to him.”
No, sir, we are not going to fill a dis
pensary with bottles to be put to the
mouths of our neighbors.
Finally he brings out the money feat
ure iu the business by telling us bow
much money the state of South Caro
lina has made by entering into this ne
farious traffic. Here is the secret of it
all! It is the money that is iu it. But
who wauts the money of blood? Who
wants to build the bridges of the coun
ty, and work the roads of Butts with
the blood and brains of young men?
Who wants to rob the homes of our
people; break the hearts of wives aud
mothers as they see their loved ones
fill drunkards graye? The money made
by the South Carolina dispensary is a
curse to the state. The people asked
for prohibition, but the godless, money
| loving law maker’s failed to keep their
pledges, and led by their love of pelf,
put the state into the whisky business.
The dispensary may be better than open
bar rooms, but that does not make it
right.
Take the money out of the whisky
business aud there is not a decent man
I wlio would disgrace himself by selling
■it either secretly or by law, or who
! would even advocate its sale. God’s
word says, “Woe unto him that buildeth

a town with blood and establish a city
by iniquity.” That is just what a city,
town, county or state does when it leg
alizes the sale of whisky for revenue.
Some day this woe will come upon those
who do this wicked work; for the hail
storm of God’s wrath shall sweep away
the refuge of lies.
I have expressed myself vigorously
but I hope kindly, and at the same time
very decidedly. I believe this letter
will receive the endorsement of our best
people, and I am not without hope that
the dispensary advocate may see that
he is in error.
If whisky is sold in Jackson, let it be
sold under the ban of law, and let the
men who sell it feel that they are
criminals now and forever. Christian
people cannot countenance it, nor can
human laws make legal that which
God’s law condems. Butts county is
fortunate in having a prohibitory law,
and the day is coming when it will be
enforced. Public sentiment is growing
everywhere against the liquor traffic,

One View of the Exposition.
Speakiug ot ourexposition The New
York Mail and Express says :
It is gratifying to know that the
Empire State will make a creditable
display at the Atlanta exposition, and
that the state building just completed
there is the equal of any on the
grounds. There is much to intensify
national pride and uuity in this expo
sition in the' state through which
Sherman marched to the sea, for it
marks the upbuilding of a uew South
whose thought is centered on the fu
ture rather than the past.
This view also strikes a southern
contemporary, the Florida Times-
Uniou, which has the following com
ment :
Certainly an exposition in Atlanta
will show a newer south in the mate
rial sense of that term than one held
anywhere else. Atlanta was absolute
ly wiped off" the face of the earth in
1864, and the sectiou of Georgia
through which Sherman marched
was more completely devastated by
war thau any other section ever was
in any conflict with a civilized coun
try.
But the Mail and Express intimates,
neither Atlanta, nor Georgia, nor the
south is thinking much about that
now. Iu spite ot the northern idea
that southern people are indolent, they
attend pretty well to the business
they have on baud. Farming was
their business prior to 1860, aud there
were more wealthy planters in the
south than anywhere in the world.
Fglitiug was the business of the
southern people duriiig the war, aud
they did it to the queen’s taste.
Farming, manufacturing, railroad
building, mining, commerce aud gen
eral development have been their
business during the last thirty years,
aud the results speak for themselves,
while views on past questions are un
changed, our people arc engaged more
with the present and tutu re than with
the past.
In the main these two newspapers,
representing two sections, have de-

scribed the situation accurately.
Possibly the Florida paper’s statement
that our views on past questions are
unchanged may be misunderstood.
Of course it does not mean that our
people would revive the old theory of
secession or re-establish slavery.
They may think that both were right
under the conditions of a generation
ago, but they would not like to see
either as a factor .of our political or
social system of today.
As the Times-Union says, our peo
ple are engaged more with the pres
ent and future than with the past, al
though they are not apologizing to
anybody for the most heroic epoch in

Two hundred Chinese men and women
arrived in Atlanta last Saturday just
from the Orient. They have come to

Dozens of conventions will be held in
Atlanta during the progress of the expo

sorts of oi’ders aud brotherhoods.
The colleges throughout the state are
opening up with large enrollment. The
educational interests and advantages of
Georgia are hardly surpassed by any
state in the Union.

“GEORGIA, HER RESOURCES ASH
POSSIBILITIES.
This is the name of a recent book
that Commissioner Nesbitt has gotten
out. The volume is replete with the
advantages of our state, setting forth
the mineral resources in a very in
teresting manner. The book is illus
trated with designs showing the agri
cultural life in Georgia. There are
designs also of manufacturing estab
lishments, turpentine stills, fruit
farms, etc.
Withall it is a very valuable com
pilation of Georgia’s many and multi
fold resources. It advertises the
state, taking each county separately
and giving an accurate account of the
possibilities of each. No doubt this
book will be used to advertise Georgia
"and coming from the state depart
ment as it does will carry some weight
with it. Commissioner Nesbitt and
his department are to be congratu
lated on getting out such an instruc
tive volume.
