Temperance vs. Individuals.
j
•We-took occasion a short time ago
to'attack wlusky-driukingand drunk-
cun in and around Carnesville. j
We felt at the time that we would
displease certain individuals, but .
th; se individuals had already dis-
pb ased the sober and better element
it our people, and we entered the
: giit with good grace.
As soon as our editorial appeared
them was a scattering whining and
occasionally a yelp to lie heard, and
th 'ii we knew that somebody had j
been hit. Rut others who had been !
urinking too much read and weighed !
vvi.Vit we'said and decided that we j
v.ci'e right, and that they intended to !
this ruinous habit.
We were promptly threatened by j
th isc who were smarting under the
* t nth that an article would appear in j
their defense, that would make us i
:> A- p quiet hi the future, but from ;
■ >mc cause nothing has appeared, |
v ,i ept in half disguise.
The whisky-drinking and drunk-
ci-tieM in Carnesville is not near so
c nspicuoiis as it was some time back,
although the regulars continue to put
in one or two days in the week. One
aoticabfe improveuient is, that our
merchants will not sell any more
t lines, Jamaica ginger, etc. Wo
b..ve been meanly and jealously
struck at for our effort in behalf ot
temperance, but that is the size of
some people, and we shall not fret
about it.
f . Personally, we like and wish well
■*livery mail in and around Carnesville,
and we know that nearly all of them
have virtues that far outweigh their
faults, but we believe it the duty of
every man to fight evil wherever he
finds it, and on this ground we shall
continue to make war on whisky¬
drinking and drunkenness, and we
promise that no man shall sit in the
high places of confidence in Carnes-
ville or Franklin county and impose
on the people without receiving from
us the strongest honorable opposition
that- we can command.

The next House of Representa¬
tives in Congress will contain '2'2'2
straight-out Democrats, !)2 Republi¬
cans, and 17 Alliancemen. Twelve
^'of’ the seventeen Alliancemen have
been elected from Southern States,
and .will be expected to vote with the
Democrats, and the other five of the
seventeen were elected from the
West and will very likely Vote with
the Republicans. This will give the
Democrats a clear two-thirds ma¬
jority.
"* The Athens Runner says that ,he
election of General Gordon to the
Senate sounded the death knell to
the sub-treasury bill, as Gen. Gordon
made the race in opposition to
The Banner further says that Alli¬
ance members were justifiable in sup-
porting Gordon when the Alliance
leaders undertook to force a mau on
tliem that was so closely connected
with monopoly.
President Harrison has sent hi-
message to Congress. He urges the
passage of the force bill, defends the
principles of the McKinley bill,
toddies.thy currency as light as pos¬
sible, add straddles on Blaine’s reci¬
procity scheme. He failed, however,
to mention the “blocks of five” fraud
in his owm State.
Mas. W. II. Felton was chosen
tomporaty chairman to preside over
' the board of lady managers of the
"SS orld’s Fair at Chicago a few days
ago. Mrs. Felton accepted in a sensi¬
ble speech. This is a high compli¬
ment to the distinguished Georgia
woman.
Senator Hampton, of South Caro¬
lina, will probably be defeated for
the Senatorship this time, as the
Tilhnanites have control of the Legis¬
lature. All things are po6siWe*’hi
South Carolina polities.
The Athens Banner says that the
Alliance was squarely defeated in the
election of General Gordon to the
Wiirate, but adds that there vras no
man in the state that could have
done it.
Ir:iident Polk’s Message.
The National Alliance Convention
now in session at Ocala, Fltv., is the
most important and is being more
closely watched than any meeting
ever held hv that order. The con¬
vention is composed of over fourhun-
dred delegates, and the first day’s
proceedings show that there are im-
port 1 wit malt rs to 1*0 acted on b< fore
llio COllVC'DllRli < If’M'N,
The action that the body will take
in regard to politics is considered the
most important matter that will come
up. Many of the leaders in the or¬
der arc in favor of forming a third
party, and the president’s message
rather leans to the third party idea,
as lie denounces mo: t bitterly the pel-
icy of the two old parties. The pres-
ident says the order is political, hut
non-partisan, whic h conveys the
meaning that should they' form a
third party they would receive aoccs-
cessions from both of the old parties,
There are also many leaders in the
order who think the third party move
is a had one, and will oppose it to the I
end. J
There was one part of Folk’s mes-
sage that fell like a bomb-shell on the
order. Here it is:
“I respeetfnilv suggest to your
body the expediency and advisability
of requiting any officer in your body
who may be nominated or appointed
to any civil office, to tender the rosig-
nation of his office promptly upon
his acceptance of such nomination or
appointment.”
This would get many of the lead- j
ers’scalps, in fact nearly all who have
been elected on Alliance platforms
hold important offices in the order. '
Among those holding offices in the |
order that have rcccntiv been elected ;
‘ I
to civil offices are ■ \ ice-1’resident . .
Glover, of Kansas, who has been
eleeU-d to Congress; Gov. Rui bannan,
of Ti tine, see; Livingston, of Geor¬
gia, and many others not se promi¬
neat. Of course these fellows would
rather bold two fat offices than one,
and will doubtless use their influence
to keep the proposed amendment
from becoming a law,
Polk-Livingston-MoGunc trouble is
absorbing much of the convention's
time. It will be remembered that
Folk openly exposed Livingston’s
and .Met’nlie’s high-handed methods
in the Georgia Senatorial contest.
For this act Folk lias brought down
on himself the wrath <-f the two
bosses, and they arc now seeking his
official head as national president.
The proceedings will be watched
with much interest aud anxiety.
This Will Rill It.
The latest suggestion of a mode of
defeating the force bill is one that
can certain]v be made effective—if
not in preventing its passage, at least
in circumventing its operation. It
is that, in the event of the passage
of the bill, the Democratic states
.-hull choose their presidential elec¬
tors by their legislature.
The constitution of the ITiited
| States empowers each state to choose
its presidential electors “in • such , mau-
tier as its legislature , • , . mav direct. v ,,.
’• *
1 Ins is a constitutional i right i. winch i,
j l ™ •“’* ... “t eongrc,> can akc away.
i ' s 5ales have Iicieiofore ib.,seii their
electors iu that way, so that it
: precedent as well as eonstijutional
warrant to sustain it.
It cannot be pretended that con-
gress has any right to apply the j i ni¬
j vw,ons ine I' one bill, or take
> supervision in any other form, over
elections of members of the ligisla-
tnre of the states.
This suggestion, it is said, will be
made bv Democratic congressmen to
the legislatures of their states. The
apprehension that it may he
adopted will doubtless.- give the fin¬
ishing blow to this Republican scheme
of innovation and usurpation.—At¬
lanta Journal.

Kolb, who is a prominent .Yllianee-
man, and commissioner of
turc, was one of his competitors for
the seat. Kolb, it will be remem¬
bered, also ran for governor this
time and was left.
The Alliance is making a fight on
Senator Yaace in North Carolina
similar to the one made on General
I Gordon in this State. It will very
likely terminate the same way.

No man can hold jtositiuns of lion-

The man who imposes on a com¬
munity that is holding up his hands
is not worthy of confidence.
* *
If a man insists that it is none of
your business if he gets drunk, give
him to understand that it is none of
his business if you should not wish to
uphold him in it.
* *
We believe in all the liberties be-
ing extended to a man that he will j
not abuse, hut when he lues his lib-
erty in dishonoring himself and the
in which he lives, his
cit ies should he cut off.

The peace and happiness of any
individual that wants full reign for
his dissipations sinks into insigniii-
cance w hen compared with the wel-
fare of a whole community,
The man who possesses both large
eombat-iveness and jealousy finds it
hard to give justice to others who
are engaged in the same business
as he. * *
Some of the oldest men in C'arnes-
vi'le were seen tumbling down a
flight of steps not long since, the
cause being that they had oil too
much liquor. Yet the “most fasthli-
ous or purest lady would not have
been shocked” bad they rolled out
*
in . the street before . her.

What would one of the “most fas¬
tidious or purest ladies in the land”
think if she were passing the streets
of Games’,illc and see negroes tug¬
ging at white men trying to get them
out of cellars and gullies? We are
of the opinion that she would feel
somewhat “shocked.”

To Carnesville theoretical prohibi
timiists: A rcsiioiisible citizen informs
us that a distillery has been run with-
in two miles of l arnesville tor the
past twelve months. And yet Gaines¬
ville is overflowing with earnest, hon¬
est prohibitionists! To a man little up a
tree such zeal in a cause is a bit
nauseating.—Tribune.

Never Eit3 a Sapling.
Here is a good story about the sen¬
atorial campaign, says the Atlanta
Journal.
It’s a little late, but it is too good
to keep.
, On the dav before senatorial clec-
tion Mr. Lnrrv - Gantt was circulating n
; among B the members in . the liouse
representatives. Noticing his move-
^ Ho , jert WhMt . 1(1 of Bal(1 .
win county leaned over to his neigh-
: bor, Mr. Roberts, of Douglas county,
i the wag of the bouse, paid said:
“Do you know I believe Larry
Gantt has a sorter of a hankering af-
ter the senatorial seat, lie is, in my
opinion, expecting lightning to strike
him to-morrow.”
“Well, it will never do it,” said
Mr. Roberts in his inimitably way.
“Never in my life have I seen light-
ning stiike a sapj ling in the under-
growth. It always reaches out for
tall timber.”
The next day’s results proved that
Mr. Roberts was eminently correct.
OVER THE RIVER.
, .. , n . - P , ,
Messrs. Editors—Over the river
are a people who are not ashamed
of their names, aims or claims, '■>
course I shall not tell you all their
names just now, supposing they will
be found out liy-atid-by by all who
desire the acquaintance of a good
people, aud especially will they be
found out at an early day by a great
many (1 mean candidates), for I
judge by the announcements in your
paper that a great number are on
the road, or will soon be. But lot
them go it. The more the merrier.
I wish we had an office for each and
every one of them, if it did not cost
so much, but that is it- thousands of
dollars to pay and some one or more
must make those dollars. But any-
how by-and-ijywe will know who
the majority want and who the rest
of us have got, for we all cannot have
our mail every time, and I leekon it
i< right. At least 1 am willing for it
0 be tlmt w av.. “I)o as you wish to
be done hv." l’*ut I started out lo
say something about the people over
tIn- river and their aims. Well, they
aim in a short time to lie done pick-
mg this year’s cotton crop, and l he-
lieve they are about done gathering
corn, and now they aim to feed t»'«r'
hogw a little longer, and they mm to
kill their hogs so that they can feed
the candidates, for they know they
are coming—and that very soon
For the signs arc right
Aihi the moon kiiiih* « bright,
Thin jirc-ttveoW pigs’will night,
And fat soon all be dead.
lint this people claims something.
They claim that no people has any,
greater right than they do to choose
whom they shall vote for, and most
assuredly they will do the selecting,
Also they claim that their land is as
productive, they breathe ns healthy
air, drink as pure water as any peo-
pie in I'ranklin county. And in con-
nection with all these blessings they
have a great many children, and they
say these children must be educated,
and they aim to educate them. And ,
I verily believe it, for they have a
good sehdol now', anil the prospects j
are that in the near future it will
enroll a large number of students, j
among whom will Vie a great many 1
young gentlemen and ladies.
For this school sends out an im itation, j
To those who want an education,
To come and see the qualification,
And hear some explanation,
Aud see by close investigation
If you would like to hear relation
With those who occupy t his station,
In this enlightened nation.
For good news for palliation,
Claims your loud proclamation
That we practice plain education,
In every budy’e estimation,
For we have to hear the accusation
Of being the very instigation
Of people 1 1 recuivini? muon information
lo hell) . tfood .
‘ m a avocation.

it will give you mitigation
