Madison County and Prohibition.
We have no desire to interfere
with Madison county’s affairs, or to
dictate to her citizens the policy* of
her government, so long as the policy
of her government does not interfere
with Franklin county and her affairs,
and even then we hesitate before say¬
ing anything.
But under the existing prohibition
law and the great injustice Franklin
is suffering from Madison, we feel
justified in crossing the boundary and
saying a few words in self-defense.
Madison county, by continuing
anti-prohibition, is doing incalculable
injury to this section of Georgia.
Madison is bounded by seven coun¬
ties, ail of which are prohibition ex¬
cept Banks. Being surrounded as
she is by prohibition counties, the
men engaged in selling liquor—whose*
establishments milnber over twenty
in the county—will never give up
their business until the right kind of
tight has been made, and they are
compelled to do it. Wo are informed
that there are three districts in the
county that have voted out whisky,
and that there are strong prohibi¬
tionists all over the county. This
being true, there is certainly opposi¬
tion sufficient to whip the light, if
the friends of temperance will go at
it in the right way. Franklin, Hart,
Elbert, Oglethorpe, Clark and Jack-
son, we are sure, will come to her aid
to put down this evil, for they arc all
suffering in the same way on account
of her bar-rooms.
Tiik K.\tki:i*risk hopes to see the
Daniclsviile Monitor open up this
fight. The Monitor seems to he on
very friendly terms with tlu* Alliance
of that county, and if the Alliance
would procure the benefits organized
for, they must first get rid of bar¬
rooms at every cross roads in the
county.
Madison county owes it to herself,
if she would take rank among the
moral, intellectual ami progressive
counties of this section of the state,
to put down this evil.
The Twitty Bill.
Representative Twitty, of Jackson
county, introduced an important hill
in the house < f rej resent atives last
Tuesday, which was promptly passed
hv that body after a spirited discus¬
sion between the lawyers and farm-
crs. Thc hill is to abolish the 10 per
cent attorney’s fees ou collections,
unless a plea or pleas ho filed by the
defendant and are not sustained. The
hill passed the house on a striokly
alliance and lawyer vote, the lawyers
opposing and the alliance favoring.
The hill may he a good one, and it
may not. Tho hill is intended to help
tho debt maker, and in some instances
it will and others it will not. There
are many men who could not get
credit hut for the fact that the debt
could be collected hv law. These
* •
will have to give other securities
should the hill become a law, or they
will have to pay larger profits or high¬
er rates of interest. The greatest in¬
justice that the hill contains is that it
allows a man who owes a just debt
to put off the payment indefinitely or
make the creditor pay in part for tlu*
collection, which seems to us is
enough to defeat it. If the debtor
files no plea 10 per cent attorney’s
fee is too much, hut justice demands
that lie pay a sufficient per cent to
defray actual expenses in collecting.
The hill has to yet go before the sen¬
ate, and it will very likely he
amended.
There has been a general fence
law passed by both houses of the
legislature of Georgia which provides
that the boundary of a man’s land
shall be to him a fence, and that tres
passes will not be allowed.
lion. R. F. Wright, of Elherton,
has been appointed assistant-keeper
of the state penitentiary by Governor
Northern
L. G. Hardman & Bro., of Harmony
Grove, will open up one of the most
complete lines of Christmas goods in
December ever brought to this sec¬
tion of the country.
Don't Patronize Whioky Wagons,
Liquor wagons from the mountains
and elsewhero have been coming into
and near Ctirneavillc periodically for
a long time, a fact which Is genera!Jv
known both to those who driuk and
to those who do not. The fact that
they cotne into a county which a few
years ago overwhelmingly voted
down their business and is still ille¬
gal, and return unmolested, does not
speak well morally for tho people of
Franklin county. This state of af¬
fairs has been going on and been
white-washed until it has become
necessary to tear off the white sur¬
face and let the real black be seen.
Why do these wagons come here pe¬
riodically ? Bccauscd they are prom¬
ised patronage and protection. .Men
do not carry their merchandise and
produce where there is no market for
them. Men have patted ns on the
hack for what we said on the tem-
pevanoo line a few days ago, and
asked us to ‘-hit ’em agin,” whom we
knew to he patroni/.ersof these whis-
kev wagons. We can excuse much
in frail humanity, hut when it comes
to men claiming they arc ft lends to
the highest principles of right living,
and then wait for a chance to slip
their jugs to patronize a blockadcr in
a prohibition , count v, wo tcel like ... it is
*
right n to hold them tip 1 before the lnth- 1
lie and let it he seen what manner of
men they are. We know that much
of this patronage lias been by up¬
right gentlemen who voted for pro¬
hibit ion, and would do it again, and
we are certain that they would stop
it if they could realize fully the evil
it causes. Only last week some of our
hoys who are not near out of their
teens got beastly drunk at one of
these wagons close to town. We
want to ask every fair-minded man
in Franklin county: Is it not wrong
to patronize a tiling which is against
the law of your county, which law
you helped to bring about by your
vote, and which you would again sus¬
tain by your vote should it become
necessary? We care nothing for the
sayings of those who have and are
busying themselves that what we
have said on this line will injure our
town and school rather than benefit
them. There is nothing to he gained
by covering tip evil of this kind, and
we do not propose to do it. But let
it he understood that thinking and
talking alone will not bring about the
reform so much needed, but action
must come to the front, and if out¬
laws will defiantly conic in our midst,
lot us seize them and make witnesses
out of our day-time prohibitionists.
As for our town and school and the
country generally, every lick given
to intemperance is a rock pillar for
each.
The Anti-Barroom Bill.
Senator Todd, of the Thirty-fifth,
introduced a bill last Tuesday which
ought to pass, but it is very probable
that it will be defeated. 'Phis is a
verbatim copy of the Dill:
Nkction 1. Be* it enacted by the
General Assembly of Georgia, That
from and after the passage of this act
it shall not he lawful for any state,
county or municipal authorities iu
said state to grant license for the sale
of any alcoholic liquors, nor shall he
lawful for any person to sell the same
in less quantities than a quart.
Slit*. 2. Be it further enacted, That
when any state, county or municipal
authority in this state shall grant, un¬
der existing laws, licenses to sell any
alcoholic liquors of quantities of a
quart or more, it shall not be lawful
for any person selling the same to al¬
low said alcoholic liquors to be drank
on or near the premises where sold.
Skc, 3 l!e it further enacted, That
any person who shall violate any pro¬
vision of this act shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor and punished as pre¬
scribed in section 4310 of the code of
1882.
Skc. 4. Be it further enacted, That
aLl laws and parts of laws in conflict
with this act shall be and tlu* same

Our Greatest Financier.
Jav Gould, our greatest financier,
our richest man, our inodorn .Midas,
is the subject of an interesting arti¬
cle in The New York Evening
World,
A synopsis of his career will be of
intererost just at this time. Gould
started in life a poor man’s son,
without a dollar. Now he is worth
about *250,000,090. Ho could buy
a cheap suit of cloths for every man,
woman and child in the United
States, lie could buy Cuba, if he
felt like it, and have enough money
lef to run the island.
Forty years ago he was a farmer’s
hoy. lie worked hard, became a
clerk in a store, learned surveying
and peddled hooks. From the first
he wanted to he master. He did not
like to work for others. As soon as
he lie could afford it he bought a lit¬
tle price of land. Then he got into
a tanning firm and bought it out,
Later In* purchased some low-priced
shares in a railroad, and then secured
the controlling interest. He sold the
road to a big corporation and made
a pot of money. Then he went into
Ball street and had lug luck.
The writer in The Borld says
that Gould’s success is the result of
his faith in himself, his iron will, his
nerve, his determination to Ik* mas-
ter, ami his skill in managing after
he became master,
1 Ois K n ‘ a * millionarc says that no
man ought " to he a failure. “If he is,
there is something ' rotton behind him,
either a post or an ancester. , „ An-
0 (] ier paying ot his is that any hoy
can succeed if lie will.
At fifty-four Gould is the master
of Wall street. When there is a
panic men say that h,» caused it.
When we have good times his
friends give him much of the credit.
Naturally, such a man has hitter
enemies. But he is not as black as
he has been painted. lie has his
g,;od points, and they are worth stud¬
ying. His life history heats the ro¬
mance of “Monte Cristo.”—Constitu¬
tion.
Dr. l»alwin’s Bill.
Dr. J f. A. Baldwin, of Randolph
county, introduced a hill in the legis¬
lature last week to prohibit medical
doctors from practicing if they get
drunk. They are to he lined heavily
for getting drunk the first time, and
their license to be revoked the second
time. 'This also applies to prescrip¬
tion clerks. Dr. Baldwin, in speak¬
ing ot the merits of his bill, made
this statement: “Human life is
too precious to be tampered with
drunken doctors. I know of one
physician, a drinking man, who made
a fatal mistake in making out a pre¬
scription. The clerk who tilled the
prescription detected the doctor's
error, and told those who secured it
that it would kill the patient if he
took it. The medicine was carried
home, hut the sick man did not
it, and when the doctor called he was
told wliat the prescription clerk had
said. He laughed, and to show the*
medicine was harmless swallowed the
contents of the bottle. In a little
while lie was a dead man.
are many other such eases on record
ia Georgia, and it is high time to put
a stop to it.”
Why He Didn’t Move.
Th'tro lives out in Joe Cannon’s
district in Illinois an old farmer who
is a zealous republican, one of the red
hot partisan stripe. On hearing of
Cannon’s defeat lie said to liis wife,
who is one of those women who obey
their lord and master blindly:
“Sarah, pack up everything. I’m
going to move.”
“Why?” asked Sarah.
“Because Joe Cannon is beat,
and I won’t live in a democratic dis¬
trict.”
“Very well,” said Sarah, with arc-
signed sigh.
Then the old man went to town to
sell his farm. There he heard all the
election news. On his return home
he entered the house, and said:
“Sarah, you can quit packing up, 1
ain’t a going to move.”
“Why?” inquired Sarah.
“Because,” he replied sadly, “there
ain’t no place to move to.”— Wash¬
ington Mirror.
