Legislature Will Be Pe‘titioned{
to Pass Stach a Bill at
Next Session.
Tifton, Ga., Jan. 23.—A mass
meeting was held yesterday in
the. court room to discuss the
prohibition question « in Tift
county, in response to a callis
sued by the Citizen’s Committee
appointed at a meeting held in
December.
Rev. A. M. Bennett, of Nor
man Park, who was in town, was
introduced by Rey. J. W. Domin
gos and made an earnest prohi
bition talk. He was followed by
Rev. J. W. Domingos, Col. C. W..
Fulwood, Rev. G. B. Feltz, W.
B. Parks and others.
‘lt was demonstrated that the
county is now prohibition under
the. operation of the local prhi
bition laws of the counties from
which the territory to form Tift
county was created, also under
the three-mile limit limit law, ex
cept in the town of Chula. It
appeared certain that the charter
of this place would be repealed
at the next session of the legis
lature, and that it was almost
certain the present charter was
illegally obtained. ‘Therefore,
Tift connty being already a pro
hibition county, an election was
unnpecessary.
It was the unanimdéus opinion
that, should an election be held,
the county would go for prohi
bition by a three-fourths vote.
It was decided thata petition
be circulated asking the repre
sentatives of the three counties
from which the territory (o cre

a bill in the next legisiature, fix-

FIYVZGERALD, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1606,
A Cotton Thief I
Last week Flagg & Co. missed
two bales of cotton from the
Standard Warehouse platform,
where quite 2 number of bales
had been statioped several days.
They phoned Ocilla and other'
places to look out for the cotton
and were informed by an Ocilla
warehouseman that a suspicious
bale had beea brought in. Mr.
H. H. James went to Ocilla and
identified one bale of the cotton
and yesterday the other bale was
found id a car shipped to the
compress from the same ware-‘
house at Ocilla. |
The negro who had stolen the
cotton was an ex-truckman at
one of the city warehouses and is
now in jail. He will be tried at
the next term of the Superior‘
Court and will probably get
something like twenty years in
the state penitentary for the
privilege of handling other peo
ples cotton at night. _
Stealing cotton in,this countryl
is as greata crime 2s horse steal
on the western plains, where the
penalty is usually extreme.
There is so much cotton ex
poted.
ing the license for the sale of
intoxicating liquors in Tift
county at not less than $25,000
per annum,
Mr. H. H. Tift snggested that
it would not be well to adjourn
without taking further action to
prevent any misconception as {o
the cause of postponing the call- i
ing of an election, and suggested |
the appointment of a committee
of five as a Campaign Committee,
to see to the circulation of the
petition mentioned, as well as to
}take any action necessary fori
\the prohibition cause. Oan put
'ling his suggestion.as a mot}ion,!
it was upnanimously carried, l

Ghildren Will Be Rescued.
In the course of a single day
last week, Manager J. R. Gunn,
ofithe Georgia Industrial Home,
was personally summoned to the
rescue of two children who were
standing at the very brink of the
bottomless pit. One of these
was being reared in a resort of
the most debased character to
‘whichour civilization has given
rise. The other was growing
up stunted morally and physi
cally in a family upen which
years of destitution have stamped
the mark of degeneracy. These
children were taken to the In
dustrial Home and placed on
exactly an identical footing with
the 150 other children—the maj
ority of whom indeed have been
snatched from conditions equally
appalling and who now, for joy
ousness, health, and the capacity
for growth and- application, will
stand comparison with the most
favored children of the land.
Thus a new outlet has been
found for that deadly stream of
pauperism and crimicality which,
fed largely by the successive
generations of the samre families,
has always eaten away at the
foundations of human society
Thousands of children are
thrown into that stream at birth,
and they grow up, ruined lives,
to further swell the stream, aad
the world has watched the pro
cess as hopelessly as it would
watch the working of a natural
law.
Yet each of these doomed
children has carried the untold
wealth of his race inheritance
loomed up in his body and brain,
and now the Industrial Home
has showed that mcest of them
can be lifted into the full glory
of sunshine and health and
bright days, if only they are
reached before they have actu
ally drunk of the contamination
of the lost stream.
The Stock Food Swindle. 1
The Raleigh Progressive Far-{
mer sounds a note of waraing to
the farmers of the South about
what iscalled thestock food swin
dle. Itsays that one of the most
outrageous frauds now being
perpretated upon the American
farmer is that of prepared stock
foodg—common meal, bran, etc.
with a little cheap sulphur, salf,
Epsom salts, pepper, saltpeter,
etc., added to change the taste,
and the mixture (hardly more
valuable than ordinary ship
stuff) put up in flaming pack
agey, advertised in big iilustrated
ads in farm papers, and sold to
gullible farmers at from 250 to
2,500 a ton.” The Progressive
Farmer says further, that some
time ago, the chief Southern con
tributor of one of the farm pap
ers most largely circulated in
North Carolina and adjoining
States, wrote an exposure of the
whele miserable fraud and sent
it to his paper. ‘‘The -reply
came back: The Blank Stock
Fcod Company pays us 3,000 a
year. for advertilsing, and we
would lose it if we were to print
your letter. Pleasedon’t insist.”
Itis quite proper that while the
patent medicine nostrums are
getting a drubbing, the stock
food humbugs should be ex
posed, and this The Progressive
Farmer proposes to do. If the
frauds are ¢f the naturc com
plained of, we hope the exposuge
will be of a nature as to protect
the fadmers agaiost them.—
Charlotte Chronicle.

will find that there is a life of
