“Prisouer at the bar, have you any
thing to say why sentence of death
shall not be passed upon you ?”
A solemn hush fell over the crowded
courtroom, and every person waited in
almost breathless expectation for an
answer to the judge’s question.
Will the prisoner answer?
Is there nothing that will make him
show some sign of emotion ?
Will he maintain the cold, indiffer
ent attitude that he has shown through
the long trial, even to the place of exe
cution ?-
Such were the questions that passed
through the minds of those who had
followed the case from day to day.
The judge still waited in diguified
silence.
Not a whisper was heard anywhere,
and the situation bad become painfully
oppressive, when the prisoner was seen
to move, his head was raised, his hands
were clinched, and the blood had rushed
into bis pale, care worn face, his teeth
were firmly set, aud into his haggard
eyes came a flash of light
Suddeuly he arose to his feet, and in
a low, firm but distinct voice, said:
“I have! Your honor, you have
asked me a question, and 1 now ask,
as the last favor on earth, that you
will not interrupt my answer until I am
through.
“I stand before this bar, convicted
of the willful murder of my wife.
Truthful witnesses have testified to the
fact that 1 was a loafer, a drunkard
and a wretch ; that I returned from one
of my long debauches and fired the
fatal shot that killed the wife I had
sworn to love, cherish and protect.
While I have no remembrance of com
mitting the fearful, cowardly and in
humau deed, I have uo right to com
plaiu or coudemu the verdict of the
twelve good men who have acted as
jurors in this case, for their verdict is
in accordance with the evidence.
“But, may it please the court, I wish
to show that I am not. alone responsi
ble for the murder of my wife !”
This startling statement created a
tremendous sensation. The judge
leaned over the desk, the lawyers
wheeled arouud and faced the prisouer ;
the jurors looked at each other in
amazement, while the spectators could
hardly suppress their intense excite
ment. The prisoner paused a few sec
onds, and then continued in the same
firm, distiuct voice:
“I repeat, your honor, I am not the
only one guilty of the murder of my
wife. The judge on this bench, the
jury in the box, the lawyers within this
bar, aud most of the witnesses, includ
ing the pastor of the old church, are
also guilty before Almighty God, aud
will have to appear with me before his
Judgment Throne, where we all shall
be righteously judged.
“If twenty men conspire together
for the murder of one person, the law
I power of this laud will arrest the twen
ty, and each will be tried, convicted
and executed for a whole murder, and
; not one-twentieth of the crime.
“I have been made a drunkard by
law. If it had not been for the legal
; ized saloons of my town, I uever would
: have become a drunkard; my wife
would not have been murdered ; I would
not be here now, ready to be hurled
into eternity. Had it not been for the
human traps set out with the consent
of the government, I would have been
a sober man, an industrious workman,
I a tender fathet aud a loving husband.
I But to day my home is destroyed, my

wife murdered, ray little children —
(iod bless and care for them—cast on
the mercy of a cold and cruel world,
while 1 am to be murdered by the
strong arm of the State.
“God kuows, I tried to reform, but
as long as the open saloon was in my
pathway, my weak, diseased will-power
was no match against the fearful, con
suming, agonizing appetite for liquor.
At last, I sought the protection, care
and sympathy of the church of .lesus
Christ, but at the communion table I
received front the hand of the pastor
who sits there anti who has testified
against me in this case, the cup that
contained the very same alcoholic ser
pent that is found in every bar-room iu
the land. It proved too much for my
weak humanity, and out of that holy
place I rushed to the last debauch that
ended with the murder of my wife.
“For one year our towu was without
a saloon. For oue year I was a sober
matt. For oue year tny wife and chil
Iren were supremely happy, and our
little home a perfect paradise.
“I was one of those who signed re
monstrance against re opening the sa
loons iu our towu. The names of oue
half of this jury can be fouud to-day on
the petition certifying to the good mor
al character(?) of the rumsellers, aud
falsely saying that the sale of liquor
was ‘uecessary’ in ottr town. The pros
ecuting attorney on this case was the
one that so eloquently pleaded with this
court for the licenses, and the judge
who sits on this bench, and who asked
me if I had anything to say before sen
tence of death was passed on me, gran
ted the license.”
The impassioued words of the priso
ner fell like coals of fire upon the hearts
of those present, and many of the spec
tators and some of the lawyers were
moved to tears. The judge made a
motion as if to stop any fuither speech
on the part of the prisoner, when the
speaker hastily said :
“No ! no! your honor, do not close
my lips: I am nearly through, aud they
are the last words I shall ever utter on
earth.
“I began my downward career at a
saloon-bar—legalized aud protected by
the voters of this commonwealth, which
has received annually a part of the
blood money from the poor, deluded
victims. After the State had made me
a drunkard aud a murderer, I am taken
before another bar—the bar of jus-
by the same power of law that
legalized the first bar, and now the
law-power will conduct me to the place
of execution and hasten my soul into
eternity. I shall appear before anoth
er bar—the judgment bar of God, and
there you, who have legalized the traf
fic, will have to appear with me.
Think you that the Great Judge will
hold me—the poor, weak, helpless vic
tim of your traffic—alone responsible
for the murder of my wife? Nay, I,
in my drunken, frienzied, irresponsible
condition, have murdered but one, but
you have deliberately and willfully
murdered your thousands, and the
murder mills are iu full operation to
day with your consent.
“All of you know in your hearts
that these words of mine are not the
ravings of an unsound mind, but God
Almighty’s truth. The liquor traffic
of this nation is responsible for nearly
all the murders bloodshed, riots, pover
ty, misery, wretchedness and woe. It
breaks up thousands of happy homes
every year; sends the husband and
father to prison or to the gallows, and
drives countless mothers aud little chil
dren into the world to suffer and die.
It furnishes nearly all the criminal
business of this and every other court,
and blasts every community it touches.
‘•You legalized the saloons that made
me a drunkard aud a murderer, aud
you are guilty with me before God and
man for the murder of my wife.
“Your honor, I am done. I am
now ready to receive my sentence aud
be led forth to the place of execution, I
and murdered according to the laws of!
this State. You will ch.se by asking
the Lord to have mercy on my soul.
I will close by solemnly asking God to
open your blind eyes to the truth, to
your individual responsibility, so that
i you will cease to give your support to
this hell-bom traffic.”—Tallie Mufgan,

INDIAN SPRINGS
The Place Tor the Congressional Con
vention.
The executive committee of the
Sixth congressional district having met

following delegates answered the roll
call :

Pike—J. P. Thurman t.ud W. A

Spalding—W. B. Hudson, Loyd
Cleveland and Frank Flynt.
Upson—B, F. McKinney.
The time for holding the convention
was lixed for the 28th day of August,
1894, and the place ludian Springs
Frank Fi.ynt, Ch’n.
T. J. Brown, Sec’y.
Such are the official proceedings of
the convention, and the GrifHn News
gives the following report of the meet
ing iu detail:
The meeting of the committee was
held in Judge Boynton’s office and
lasted an hour and a quarter.
The first business being the selection
jf a time for the convention, Mr. Ilud
son moved that it be held on the sth
of September.
Mr, Thurman moved as a substitute
that it be held on the 14th of August.
Mr. Spurliu moved as an amendment
to the substitute that it be held on the
28th of August. This last date, after
some discussion, was accepted by all
without objection.
Mr. Thurman then iuvited the con
vention to meet at Baruesville, offering
Gordon Institute chapel and hotel and
boarding house rates of $l.OO per day.
Mr. Cleveland extended the same
invitation for Griffin, with ample ho
tel accommodations, superior railroad
facilities, and a number of adequate
halls, including court house, opera
bouse aud high school chapel. Mayor
Boyd also pressed the in vitation, prom
ising ample accommodations aud as lib
eral reduced rates as any other point
iu the district.
Mr. Johnsou spoke for Indian
Springs and thought that place equally
as accessible and without local pres
sure in favor of auy candidate.
George Collier, of the Wigwam, of
fered a reduction of rates from $3.00
to $2.00 a day and said that all other
places would be reduced iu proportion.
Mr. Spurliu wanted to know what
inducements any of the places would
offer to the members of the executive
committee to vote for it, and called for
a secret ballot, which was carried.
The first vote stood ten for Bameß
ville, six for Griffin and four for Jn
diau Springs. The second ballot stood
seven for Barnesville. two for Griffin
aud eleven for Indian Springs, which
settled it for the last named place.
A resolution was offered by Mr.
Blalock that justice demands that an
equal opportunity be given each candi
date to present his claims before the
people aud that it is therefore the sense
of this committee thai primaries be held
in the counties that have not yet fixed
a date at as late a day as possible be
fore the convention assembles.
Mr. Johnson said be thought this
resolution right in principle and that
all primaries should be held on the
same day, but as half the counties had
already set a day it was uot only too
late to do any good but might be con
strued as a reflection on these counties.
Mr. Blalock and Mr. Flynt spoke iu
favor of the resolution, and Mr. Ttiur
- man against it, and on motion of the
: latter it was tabled by a vote of seven
to thirteen.
The meeting then adjourned.
A Good Appetite
Always accompanies good health, and
an absence of appetite is an indication
of something wrong. The universal
testimony given by those who have
used Hood’s Sarsaparilla, as to its mer
its iu restoring the appetite, and as a
purifier of the blood, constitutes the
strongest recommendation that can he
urged for any medicine.

What One Woman Hus Done.
There is a brave, loyal little womau
down the West Point road that de
| serves the praise of every true mau iu
i i lie State. All through the present
; coutest for the Democratic nomination
for Governor she has labored in her
own sweet, devoted way for tho suc
cesses of the pride of her ambition aud
the king of her devotiou.
Through good and eyil report, iu the
hour of lowering doubt and in inomeuts
of exultaut confidence, agaiust what
seemed to be overwhelming odds and in
the season of conquering determination,
she has been faithful, unerring, resolute
and brave.
Now that her heart's best wish has
been gratified and her ambition's most
cherished hope has materialized into
splendid success, the hands of sturdy
Democrats pay manly, chivalrous trib
ute to the wife of lion. W. Y. Atkin
son, whose untiring and brilliant work
for the idol of her heart has been re
warded by the most phenomenal suc
cess ever achieved iu a political contest
I in Georgia.
While Mr. Atkinson has astouished
his friends and dismayed opponents
with the thoroughness of his organiza
tion and the brilliancy of his tactics,*
we hazard nothing in saying that to the
soulful work of his industrious wife,
who has, from the retiiement of her
home, answered the numberless letters
of his sympathizers, and directed, in
j great measure, his campaign through
out the State, is due largely the mag
nificent scope of his victory.
Having noue of the asset tiveuess of
the woman who clamorß for political
recognition, she lias, nevertheless, with
a gentleness that is characteristic of her
sex, and a skill that is possessed by
very few trained politicians, given a
direction to the contest that is superbly
bewildering to many who assume po
litical leadership.
It is not often that the sweet impress
of a woman is seen iu a cold light for
political advantage,—but Mr. Atkiu
soti, being without means necessary to
employ the machinery of a well-organ
ized campaign committee, there was no
one to whom he could look for such aid
as the womau of his heart who had
served him so loyally iu the battle of
life.
In this he was peculiarly blessed—
for, without blunder, she has discharged
the duties that fall to such committees,
and demonstrated to the world what
oue womau can do when the test is put
upon her.
The Democracy of Georgia will bless
the gentle hand that has been seen in
this contest by the overwhelming elec
tion of the brainy young statesman and
devoted Democrat who hits fought his
way to power through an army of fixed
bayonets, so to speak.—Atlanta Com
mercial.
That is a well-deserved compliment
which Editor Blackburn of the Atlan
ta Commercial pays to Mrs. W. Y. At
kinson. It is almost incredible that
the keen, accurate knowledge of public
men and the intuitive solution of puz
zling political prob'emg which have
marked Mr. Atkinsou's campaign
should have been the work of a woman,
but it is true. Every admirer of pret
ty political fighting should doff his hat
to the little woman of Newuan who
showed her ability to beat some of the
shrewdest politicians iu the State at
their own game.— Macon Telegraph.
“Sweet Charity.”

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Glorious Old 4th, at Mt. Carmel.
Where ever else it may have beeu a
grand day, i*. certainly was at Mt.
Carmel. It made me think of that
noted event of which we read when
Elijth called the children of Isreal to
Mt. Carmel that a test might be made
—if tlie Lord he God serve him, but if
Bael then serve him. You remember
that Elijah commanded that a bullock
be provid' d for the prophet Bael and
one for himself. It is said that Bari’s
prophet made a signal failure in pro
curing fire to barbecue his bullock,
while Elijah had fire enough to burn
up his bullock until not a piece was
to be found. But not so at our dear
old Mount Carmel. The feast of good
things that were brought there were
provided before band aud vast as the
muliitude were, the most capacious re
ceptacal was filled to the brim.
Everybody felt elated and greatly
encouraged, after hearing that sublime
address male by Bro. Culpepper. It
was certainly the grandest talk on that
line that I ever heard. And yet for
all that the deep seated prejudice that
existed in the minds aud hearts of
some of the old men who heard that
grand instructive talk were impervious
to fairness, truth and justice. My
motto is “Let the truth prevail, though
the heavens full.” I shall leave the
singing to the putt of Bro. McVicker
or some one else to furnish Tun
Weekly's readers an account of the
success of that department. I only
heard a part in the afternoon. There
were several songs sung unaccompani
ed by the exhileratiug tone of woman’s
enraptured voice, and it was easy to
discover that the music was sadly de
ficient. But every man did
he could, and I have no fault to find
with them. In my humble scribbling
for The Weekly I seek to express my
honest conviction, and those who see
from a different standpoint are not re
quried to endorsed my idea of things.

What lit Beauty? “Questiou of a
Blind Man.”
Replied Aristotle. But Mrs. Sher
wood says that it is ‘■dynamite" in her
article that opens the interesting pages
of the July Cosmopolitan. Beauty is
always a fascinating subject, and Mrs.
Sherwood’s discussion is an especially
intesting one. That the July Cosmo
politan is a midsummer number is
shown in mauy directions. Three short
stories, iucludiug one of sport aud ad
veuture, two tiavel articles and other
light matter, make up 128 pages of
charming summer reading.
The July Cosmopolitan marks the
close of the first year since the revolu
tionary announcement was made that
the price of that magazine, already low,
had been cut to one-half of three dol
lars a year. All soits of predictions
have come to be unfulfilled during the
year—it would be impossible to main
tain the rate—the quality would be
lowered—the size would be decreased.
Hut even severe critics admit that with
each succeeding number there has been
a betterment in the quality of articles
aud illustrations, and the size has re
mained the same, except the always
growiug advertising pages. The mag-
printed, for the six months em
braced in Volume xvi, one million four
hundred aud nineteen thousand copies,
an entirely uuapproached record, and
has doubled its already large plant of
presses and binding machinery. The
