By the Dispensary Route.
The Atlanta correspondent of the
Macon Telegraph, who keeps up wit.,
the drift of the Mate Capitol, says thui
Hon. Seaborn Wright, of Flnvd, th«*
.eading prohibitionist in the house, i.-
apparently making an effort to uispeii-
sarLe Georgia. Mr. Wright believes
in total prohibition, and his anti-bar*
room bill has been set tor next Fiid »y.
but ins friends do not think he has
much hope of passing it.
The object Mr. Wright has in dispea-
sarizing the state—and it look* like he
s fathering that movement—is to
break down the nower»of the whiskey
dealers' association in Georgia.
Considerable surprise has been creat
ed at the number of dispensary bills
introduced in > he house, and most of
these uispentarie* are for dry counties
too, and the temperance committee of
which Mr. Wright lacha'rraar, has not
reported a single one adversely.

Elitors Waycross Herald:
I want to enter my gentle but posi
tive protest against the ungenerous
und unjust criticisms of Judge Joseph
W. Rennet that is being iterated and
reiterated tnroughout this und other
countie* of the Brunswick judicial cir
cuit specially, and el sew Hero gener
ally. The evasion of < oft c superior
court, recent!v ..enl t y Judge John S.
Candler At:un’.a. is used • a found
ation for tin-* ci il.uia'u. Tiie impres
sion sougdt to be created is thu*. In
is unlit for thu pjsition he occupies
because he i* lacking in moral stamina

such a tiling ns going to extremes; I
believe Judge liuuuet la capable of
finding a happy golden mean und fol
lowing it—tempering justice with
mercy. Bknj. T. Allen.
