Now is the time for all good subscribers to get together and pay their subscription to The Weekly. Dorsey and Tempernce. Hon. W. E. H. Searcy writes the following to the Griffin News as to the effect of Dorsey’s election on temperance: Editor News: As one of the trus tees of the Anti-Saloon League of this State, permit me to say that no injury to the temperance reform is expected by us from the election of Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey to the office of governor. On the 31st of August, twelve days before the election, the League had its annual meeting in Atlanta, and no declaration of any nature was made to any candidate for this office. None were com mended and none condemned. Every man stood on his own merits before the people. There is, therefore, no cause to apprehend that thej’e will be any breach between the Christain peoDle Of Georgia and Mr. Dorsey has declared his readiness to enforce it as long as it is on the statute books of the State. That the law will remain there, perhaps for all time to come, must be the opinion of every thought ful man, for the trend of the times, at home and abroad, is to shut out the great enemy of man from the homes of every land. Temperance is no longer a moral quality to be praised only by the reformer, and minister, and j Sunday school and church, it is adopted by the business world, by every drinking man and govern ments. Some of the strongest ! prohibitionists we have are men who just a little back fought ''for the liquor traffic, and tried to : drink up all the liquor they could Iset. They found the truth in their own experiece, and now are noble defenders of the right. The man who looks with love into the clear sweet eyes of his little boys, and thanks God for the innocenc* that | peers through the iris, will never bring hack to Georgia that that may wreck his brain and damn his soul. Mark our prediction, Mr. Dorsey will be no enemy to tem perence and in the next legislature the man who talks local option, or other nonsense, will find him self buried among ruins it would create. Mr. Dorsey has had a tri umphant election by the people, and it matters not on which side we fought, we should accord him the honors he has so gloriously won, without fear that he will make his rule inglorious by strik ing at this cause of God and hu manity. Flint River Baptist Association Meeting: A complete program has been circulated of the Flint River Bap tist Association meeting at Con cord next Tuesday and Wednes day, September 26 and 27. Rev. L.
