The “Wet" Ticket.
In the header of hist week appears
the following announcement:
"We the citizens of Coffee county,
have decided to run Mr. E. lannei
fur representative on the wet ticket
by his consent, and promise if his
friends will elect him to fulfill the du
ties and if it is the desire of the ma
jority of the people for the sale cf
whiskey in Coffee county that he will
try to pass the act for the sale of it.”
“Many Voters.”
Well, we do not deny the legal right
of “Many Voters” to place acandidatc
before the people on t ie “wet” plat
form, and it is the prerogative of
Mr. Elijah Tanner to gobble up this
little moral offered him under the
cover of this inflated pseudonym.
In presuming to come before the
good people of Coffee county
with such a plea for position,
however, we predict that
"Many Voters” and Mr. Tanner will
have a rough road to travel
before he "draws up” at the Capitol,
and we promise, now, that we shall
make no endeavor to dear lip the
stumps in front of his hand wagon.
Mr.Tanner is an old citizen of
Coffee county, lie has lived here all
his life, has reared a large family,
been fairly successful In a material
way, enjoyed the respect of his fellow
nu n and has wielded a potent influ
ence in county affairs, having once
represented the county as a democrat
in the 1 gislature, since which he has
espoused the populist cause. Now,
he denounces both parties, repudiates
all doe 1 line and liberates his aged
wings *o fly into ofliee on the ‘•inde
pendence” and "freedom ' of the li
quor traffic.
Air-Tanner is an old man and fo
this reason we (being young) shall
be severely criticised by some for mak
ing a fight against him ; hilt he and
his friends must remember that, in
placing himself in this position, he
has left his private Staton and is sub
ject to attacks as a public man ; and
bolding the portion that we do as a
censor of public action, we transgress
no reverence for age when we indulge
in criticisms concerning his public
actions.
Mr. Tanner has been present through
nearly all the stages of development
in Codec county, lie can remember
v.hen the Indians were not yet driven
outofthis part of the country. He
was among the pioneers who fell the
forests and erected the primeval huts
which sheltered our forefathers long
years ago. When every man was
lord of all he surveyed, and win n
there was no such a thing as the liquor
traffic. Every man made his own
whiskey and kept it in his house as
free ns water to all who desired it
There was very little drunkness then
because there were no idlers. Every
man had to work, and working men
do not have time to get drunk.
Years developed a generatian. bow
eyer, which had more leasure, and
when the towns sprung up and a tax
was levied on the manufacture of
spirits, the barroom made its advent
and became the rendezvous for the
idle. Air. Tanner recollects too well
liow a large per cent of our popula
tion frequented these places, spent
their hard earnings, stripped their
homes, their wives and children of
all that had been saved up, to spend
for rum at the town liquor shop.
How they would lie on the street day
and night, beastly drunk, how they
would tight and curse and terrify all
decency into a pandemonium of
fright, our women and children
having to shut up in closets and to
hide in secret places to ward off' the
beastly iusuUs of men maddened with
liquor. We have seen all this and so
has Mr. Tanner. This is what he
would briug back to the people of
Coffee if he could.
For nearly fifteen years we have
had local option in our county, and
for that length of time we have had
almost a continuous reign of peace.
At odd times the jugs have become
too numerous and trouble ensued;
but this has hc/rv growing beautifully
less and the ante bar-room bill will
virtually eliminate that. Our people
are, prosper ,us and their credit is the
very lest. Where one man could
get credit fifteen years ago, ten can
get it to day. Our women and chil
dren are fed and clothed with plenty'
and in every sense Coffee county is a
lovely place to inhabit. This is what Mr.
Tanner would endeavor to destroy,
but lie will learn that his people think
more of t heir homes than they do of
sending him to the legislature, and so
we shall continue to enjoy our peace,
and lie, an old man, will retire to his
last years to regret his action.
Coffee is a dry county and is likely
to slay so.

There may he a man in Brunswick
who feels certain that he could fill Capl.
Turner's shoes, but he never was
more, mistaken in his life.—Tifton Ga

'The editor the Jacksonville Metrop
olis begins an editorial by saying “The
Bible tells us that ‘a good name is bet

rance of the Scriptures is hardly excus
able in an editor.

Last V 1 sday at 4 o’clock the
Fifty-fourth congress gently, quietly,
almost without incident closed its
session and passed into history, and
now we shall weep for that sprightly
journal,the Congressional Record.
To the populist party greeting: Dear
prodigals—Como back into the Dem

if you can’t do that, tl.cn just hands

toted since the war.—Tifton Gazette.
The Gazette makes the prediction
that no one living to-day will ever
seethe free and unlimited coinage ol
silver at the ratio of 111 to l become
a law in the United States. This may
be discouraging to our free silver
friends, but they may bank on its cor
rectness. —Tifton Gazette.
Representative Turner has no cause
to fonr any combination against him
in his district. He is too grand a man,
too much of a statesman and too
highly appreciated by his constituents
to be defeated by a coalition of pop
ulists ami free silverites. The peo
ple will see to it that he is sent back
to congress by a gratifying majority.—
Waycross Herald.
Judge Turner lives in and repre
sents a sound money district, one of
only two or three districts in the state
which is led by men who are patriot
ic enough to lead his constituency to
battle for true democratic principles.

Editor Greer of the Dougins Breeze
tells how remocra s who believe in
the gold standard may consistently
support the nominees without doing
violence to themselves. That, howev

using the argument of its opposition
to show that it is wrong? Brunswick
E. A. “Be true to thyself and thou
canst not be false to any man", and we
might add,to any party. Would Edit
or Wrench claim that he was uuloyal
to his favorite son in opposing that
son in a ruinous policy, using the ar
guments of his son's opponent to con
vince the boy!
