Atlanta's Fight Far
s Against Whisky,
Just now tlie anti-prohibition
ists of Atlanta are turning every
stone, using every means in
their power and resorting to all
kinds of stragstie mores to car
ry the day iu favor of continu
ing tlie traffic in wiiiskv, but in
some instances they have gone
too far and deserve defeat.
We think those • anti-prohibi
tion ists are having letters writ
ten from different parts of the
State to the Constitution, op
posing prohibition, on the pre
text that the countries are dead
where tho sale of whisky is de
barred, which is not true.
Qur attention js called to one
of these letters, written by Rep
resentative Raborn, of Wayne
county, in which a true state
ment of tlie condition of prohi
bition counties is sot mabe.—
lie says the property in Baxley,
Appling county, Biackshcar,
Pierce county, and Waycross,
Ware county, lias greatly depre.
mated in value during the past
years in which prohibition has
been tho law of these counties,
which we deny as far as Way-
cross is concerned, and believe
we can make tlie same denial
for Biackshcar. Tlie taxable
property of Ware county has in
creased over rwo hundred
thousand dollars during thc-
past two years, and Pierce coun
ty is in as thriving a condition !
Arc there any signs of deprecia
tion there? Mr. Raborn had no
authority for his assertion and it
falls to the ground without sup
port, while “truth crushed to
earth will rise rgain”—our as
sertion is backed by the tax di
gest of )ast year, and tlie signs
V prosperty on every hand!
From tlie reading of Mr. Ea-
boril’s letter one would suppose
hlhttion hud ruinod the
verse is true. The- letter says
tlie streets of these towns had
grown tip in weeds and gras-,
or words to that effect, and that
the mercantile business had
almost been entirely abandoned.
This is nil error; for tlie mer
chants of Waycross and Black-
sbear are noted for their liberal
ity and fair dealing, anJJhave as
much credit as they desire, but
they dont want any—they hare
tlie cash. lie goes on to say
that the financial condition of
tlie country is below zero in
every respect, and concludes his
rcdiculous misrepresentations
by. begging the people of Atlan
ta not to abaudon tho sale of
whisky, as it would ruin tlie
city and bankrupt the people.
A letter before us, from Black-
shear, says “tho merchants i f
that town indignantly deny’
that prohibition has turned tiieir
town into an old field, destroyed
tiieir trade or caused tho depre
ciation of their property.
The allegation contained in
the letter of Mr. Raborn is cal
culated to do this section an in
jury, inasmuch as poo
from abroad do not care to in
vest tiieir money in a dead
country, as Mr. Raborn would
have people to think our section
to lie.
Xo whiskey has been sold
here in two years, and within
that time five or six stores and
perhaps one hundred dwelling-
have boon built, and they are
all occupied. One of these
houses, the Grand Central Ho
tel, is liFick, with thirty or forty
rooms in tiic second and third
story while on tlie ground floor
.' would liko to have the shops » two splendid stores, rented by
and round Iiousi cf\t!ie compa- Tp-I***! Paying, and responsible
tut we do |7bt\proposo to parties. Another one is also
Stb gathq’l ■fcibout .brickA w-ith three stores, that
have been occupied by
by' dfuh^^Bfrutcs thatj^r
are sometime the fruits of anti* ' w
prohibition. We shall notdl^ny
that weeds and grass grow
where some bar-rooms were
kept years ago, still, we make
no such assertion.
Prohibition is a blessing in
any eommnnity, even if busi-
ncs should happen to be a little
dull, sometimes. The shriek of
the inebriate is seldom heard in
the community, while the wail
of the heart-broken wife and
poverty-stricken child (made so
to feed the thirst for drink) is
hushed, because many, yea.
hundreds, who spent tiieir earn
ings for rum once, now provide
for their homes and are a pleas
ure to tiieir families Prohibi
tion removes temptation.
Wc coufd say more on the
subject, but as tlie sufficiency
has already been written ire
conclude by telling the people
that if that place can only thrive
by the sale of liquor it is a very
poor place, and should be allow
ed to become a desert, while the
foundation of the houses that
constitute the capital city should
be sown in salt, and given over
to the beasts of the field.
The object of tlie Headlight
i3.not to tight tho prohibition
battles of Atlanta, but. nt the
same time we cannot allow any
person, whatever tiieir inten
tions are, to “run down” our
section, or to carry tho false re
port abroad that we live in a
country which diod for the
want of whiskey. Lot the peo
pie of Atlanta decide their own
differences without publishing
letters that are injurious to
other sections of tho State,
where prosperity’ and peace are
the conditions of the people.
Wo have no ill feeling for
Mr. Raborn, and only notice
his letter in order that it may
not injure our section.

Waresboro,
Mess. Edito:
Waresboro and^^p^^Rfter en
countering and surmounting quite
number of obstacles, have suc
ceeded in erecting an excellent
academy building, which has been
deeded to seven Trustees for the
establishment of a high school.
During the session of the Waycross
District Conference, held in Way,
cross last May, it was accepted
for the above named purpose.
Professor F. C. Bevy was elected
by the board of Trustees as Prin
cipal of the school for twelve
months. He has closed a very
successful quarter, to the entire
satisfaction of his .patrons, pupils
ay.d the community at large. Fif
ty one scholars were enrolled, and
there was an average attendance
of forty-five. He is a competent,
faithful and "experienced teacher.
He has fully demonstrated the
truth of the declaration above
since he has been in the position
that he nowyoccupics. A highly
entertainjng^and creditable school
exhibition was given on the 3oth,
of Oct. to the great satisfaction
and delight of about 275 visitors.
The scholars gave unmistakable
ovidence of thorough instruction
and training. They reflected great
credit on themselves and on their
caclier. They astonished all
present by their proficiency and
progress. The school is certain
ly worthy of an extensive patron
age. The school building is 30x
45—14ft pitch, with sixteen win
dows and three doors. It is
beautifully and conveniently loca
ted in Waresboro, which is on the
B. & W. R. R, re veil miles fre m
Waycross. The tuition is $1.50
in tho primary, $2.00 in the inter
mediate and $3.00 per month in
the highest department. Board
can be had at" $6, $8, and $10, per
month.
