We 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. prohiaiuonhad ru^od the! rmuntr^mtdv-vrhoUt^^TattUe cir eus. So was Mrs. m Higgins.

From *| 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. ~ A.
