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.

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.

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.
