Atlaxtk. Post-Appeal: Between two
and three o’clock Friday afternoon, the
inward bound passenger. No. 48) and the
outward bound freight, No. 19, collided
about ten miles from Atlanta on ibe At
lanta and Charlotte Air Line railroad.
The collision occurred as the freight
train was rounding a ourve on the other
side of Peachtree creek. The mail car
following the tender on the paseenger
train was telescoped by the tender. Mr.
Peter Keyes, the engineer, and Jim Col
lins, the fireman on the passenger train,
were both killed In the collision. Keyes
was terribly mutilated. Collins was badly
crushed but llred some hours. Keyes
leaves a wife and daughter. He was a
good and faithful engineer.
Athens Banner: Buss Brezlel killed
Jack Daniel, about a mile and a half

left Lawrenceville partially intoxicated,
and carrying a bottle of liquor with them.
They quarreled and fought and Braziel
crushed Daniel’s head with a fence rail.
More of whisky’s work. Braziel escaped.
At.tiavy News and AdtertUer: The
three days races on the track of the
fair association, under the auspices of the
Albany Jockey Club, closed yesterday
afternoon the 24th. The attendance was
very small, as on the two days previous,
and we are sorry to say that the gate
money did not amount to enough to pay
more than one-fourth of the purses
awarded on the races. All the purses
were promptly paid, however, and the
gentlemen who “backed” the Jockey
Club are the losers.
The Cuthbert Appeal is fourteen years

The Savannah News of Monday morn
ing is brimful of Christmas performances.
It was a busy day with the police, and a
number of casualties are reported. The
News closes its long account with the fol
lowing: The seance of the police court to
day will be the most successful of the
season, there being some fifty candidates
who will be presented for honors. A
number of parties who were arrested were
released on bond, but others not so fortu
nate were placed in confinement, and last
night there were over thirty of this class
incarcerated in the cells.

Gainesville Eagle: Ex-Gov. James
M. Smith has for some time past been

Stricken With Paralysis.—Coffee
Countp Gazette: Since the report in our
issue of last week of a young lady
being stricken with paralysis, we
have Iia<l another case, and that of a young
woman. Mrs. Jessie Carver, living a few
miles from town, white drinking water
one day last week was stricken, and in
stantly fell to the lloor. She is in a criti
cal condition, with but little hope of her
recovery. Mrs. Carver is twenty years
of age, and was in good health up to the
time she was attacked. This is the third
case of paralysis of youog women iu our
county within lha past lour months.
Atlanta Constitution: Somebody
suggests Mr. Wadley, of tho Ceutral rail?
aoad, as secretary of the interior in the
new cabinet. This would never do in tlie
world. The appearance of Mr. Wadley
in this capacity would indicate the sudden
and swift disappearance of the knaves
who swindle the Indians, and justice to
tlie.Indians is not a part of the Itepublican
policy.
We learn from the Brunswick Adter
tUer that two colored men had an alter
cation on Bay street, in that city, iast
Saturday night, which resulted in the
shooting of one of the parties by the other.
The marshal and policeman had a lively
time overtaking the man who did the
shooting. Being a sailor he naturally
took to the water, and came near getting
away in the marsh on the opposite side of
the river, but his pursuers were so close
on him that he tripped as he jumped
from bis boat and rolledover inthe marsb-
grass. He tried to conceal himself lu the
water with nothing but his nose out, but
one of the oarsmen in the marshal’s boat
tombed him with his oar and discovered
his whereabouts.
The Athens Blade, published by Pled
ger, the colored chairman of the Republi
can Executive Committee lor Georgia, has
this ol Senator Bruce: “This time another
yearwiilthe Kepublican party through
its president elect Lave accorded the negro
wing of the party a part of what is due it
by placing Senator Bruce in the cabinet?
The negro race does not want any other
mau—it wants Bruce. He is the best
qualified because of ills past experience as
a public man, and because he stands to
day free from any stain upon his charac
ter. Justice ought to be done the negro if
be is expected to come up to the rack eve
ry time called upon. We see the leading
Republicans and the leading Republican
organs of the north speculating upon the
complexion of the next cabinet. They
conjecture the German, the Irishman, the
Frenchman and other classes of our citi
zens will be represented, but we have not
heard a single one hint that the negro will
be represented. We know this much, if
Senator Bruce or some other colored man
is not put in the cabinet there will be a
great many disappointed colored voters.
It will do the party no harm to consider
the claims of these million voters.
Says the Brunswick Advertiser: “The
Savaunah, Florida and Western railway
began several months ago to give low-
priced round trip tickets to Savannah irom
way station No. 1}—parties to return the
same day. It worked like a charm. Re
ceipts over that part of the road increased
materially. The experiment was
extended to No. 2, with simi
lar results. Then to No. 3, and
so on to Jcsup. Round trip tickets over
this road from Jcsup to Savannah and re
turn on same day, now sell for the sum of
$1, and the cars are crowded. This helps
the road, helps Savannah, and helps the
people who buy, and does no injury to the
road. To cheapen transportation and in
crease facilities for the same is to increase
travel, just as the lowering of postage In
creases i lie sendiug of letters. If tho roads
leading into our city could adopt a similar
plan, might it not work good to our town
as well as to tho roads themselves? We
throw out the suggestion.”

Larry Gantt, of tho Oglethorpe Echo,

Savannah News says: Mr. John Nu-

any warning, Iks was called to order by
Colonel A. B. Hazzaru, of the composing
force, in me name of all the printers, and
lu au exceedingly appropriate and happy
address, w as presented with a handsome
massive gold-headed cane.
Mr. Nugent, though taken completely
unawares, feelingly ~ acknowledged the
compliment, thanking the printers for this
evidence of their good will, and trusting
the kindly feeling which now prevailed
would c-mtimie for all time. He con-
el u do by wishing all present a merry
Christmas aud a happy New Year. His

The following sensible conclusions
arccllpj' a d from tho Albany News and
AdtertUer. There was never a greater
mistake made than that our agricultural
fair authorities make in giving such prom
inence to horso racing. By this mistaken
policy they have discouraged tho farmers
and hence the meagre agricultural dis
play a:
I-inc- she organization of our fair asso
ciation. the popular idea of those liaviug
control of such matters has been that
there must be racing atevery fair to draw
acro vd. This idea may be a correct one,
but tho:e who have figured in the races
here this week are doubtless convinced by
this time that there must be also be some
sort of a fair to “draw a crowd” to the
races.
Warrenton Clipper: We must say
that we favor education a little nearer
home. We have taken the pains to ex
amine the catalogue of some of the great
agricultural colleges the State is planting
about, and we find, out of the great num
ber of pupils attending, very few are from
any of the counties outside of the one
where the colleges are located. What ad
vantage can this unequal manner of edu
cation be to the masses? We must beg
pardon for calling it the wild term of “a
fraud.” We need the aid of the State in
every county so that every parent can ed
ucate his orlicr child nearer home free of
cost iu tuition. It is certain that very few
parents arc able to send to schools in oth
er counties where they must psy board
even if tuition is free. The fact is they
loie by it in many ways, and they are too
sensible to undertake It. Soniooftbe
special towers of Babel will have to come
down and let the general benefits be scat
tered around more promiscuously.
The Atiscta Post-Appeal on the “toy
pistol:’’ A man yesterday esme Into Dr.
Willis Westmoreland’s office with a hand
preitybadly shot with a toy pistol. Char
ley Rowell, on Decatur stree*, was cele
brating with a toy pistol, when R was dis
ebarg-d, severely burning his hand. The

witii a toy pistol In the heel of the lTaod.
The ball lore a big hole and burned him
badly. A machinist, who works iu the
foundry, let off a toy pistol in ciose prox

pistol since last Friday night.

Early County News: Mr. John Best,

Darien Gazelle: For some weeks psst
the following absurd newtpoperparagraph
has been going tbe rounds: “A movement
is on foot among the Republicans iu
Washingtou and Georgia to remove Gen
eral MeLaws from the Savannah post-
office, and place in bis stead John T. Col
lins, tho defeated Radical candidate for
Congress in the first district.” Now, for
one aud all, wc will state that there is not
a word of truth in that paragraph; neither
is there any truth in the report that he was
interviewed in Washington about contest
ing Congressman Black’s seat. Of late
there has been a lot of stuff telegraphed
from Washington about Colonel Collins,
all of which he pronounces falsehoods.
Colonel Collins is a Republican, bul that
will never prevent us from doing him Jus
tice. Iu regard to his contesting tbe Beat
of Colonel Blaek we will state what we
said last week: we have no idea Colonel
Collius intends to contest.

A special dispatch to the Post-Appeal
says
Washington, December 28.—In reply
to to your inquiiy you can state upon the
best authority that the report of Special
Agent Newcomb has been carefully ana
lyzed and that President Hayes liss fully
informed Limsel! on tbe subject of the
Georgia marshalship. He fully under
stands the fight made on Fitzsimmons,
and has decided that there are not suffi
cient reasons given for his removal from
office. Au excellent authority says tbe
President believes tlie efforts to secure the
decapitation of Fitzsimmons are part of a
scheme to impress Gaiiicld with the fact
that the appo.ntment of a Democrat to of
fice iu the South has proven a failure or
the Hayes administration. He has inti
mated Ids purpose to keep Fitzsimmons
in office until March 4lb, at all events. I
learn Hon. A. H. Stephens received this
promise from the President a week ago,
and tiiat telegrams to tlie same effect hare
gone from Dcveus aud Raum to Anurew
Clark, Cr’.lector at Atlanta. This is the
end of the matter uutil after the Garfield
inauguration. B.

Savannah News: An unfortunate ac

house with his gun in hand, looking for
something to shoot at. Just as be leveled
his weapon snd polled tlie trigger a col

Xtw* savs: At tlie Convent Chapel on

evening by those who were so fortunate
as to attend, a beautiful and impressive
ceremony, that of the reception of a young

mony was performed by the Right Rev.
Bishop, assisted by Rev. Father Cafferty,
V. G., and Father Oswald, G. S. B. Af
ter the entrance of the reverend clergy
intofhesanctuary tho procession marched
into tho chapel in the following order:
Miss Lizzie Carson, cross bearer. Four

Hie community in twos, bearing lighted
caudles, and then tho postulaut, Miss
Minnie Moneghan, of Newnan, Ga., at
tired as a bride, wreathed with orange
blossoms, habiliments which she now
temporarily wore #s an index of the prom
ise tiiat she would be Hie spouse of Christ,
garments which she would soon cast aside
to be clothed in those of poverty. As the
procession advanced the choir sang
the hymn “O, Ulorlssa Virginum.” Reach
ing the sanctuary, the twos separated,
leaving the postulant iu the centre, im
mediately in front of the Bishop, who, af
ter giving her a blessed candle,-made a
ew very eloquent remarks, showing how
different were the judgments of the world
and the judgments of God, depicting tbe
apparent poverty and helplessness of the
Babe at Bethlehem, aud yet the power
that remained with Him at God.
At tbe cloio of the Bishop’s remarks,
the following question* were asked by
him:
Celebrant—“My child, what do you de

Postulant—“The' Mercy of God and

FREEZING HIM OUT.
THE OLD YEAR’S DRAY HAIRS
DANCING IK THE WIKD.
A Remarkable Day for Macon.
Probably Maconites have never beeu
more astonished than upon yeaterday
morning, when daylight showed them a
white mantle of suow spread over the
earth’s surface. With the majority sur
prise was soon merged Into delight, for
snow with us is rare enough to be hailed,
when it does appear, with symptoms, so
to speak, of pleasure. The city consid
ered the occasion a holiday affair, aud
proceeded so to make it. The business
portion of the city soon presented a lively
appearance; every street comer had its
crowd, and unfortunate was he whom
relentless business forced to pass
them by. If the wayfarer was wise,
he simply ducked his head into his over
coat collar and, to use tho handiest ex
pression, “scooted,” taking the blows he
received good naturedly. If he was fool
ish be stopped and asked, “Who threw
that snow ?” or gathered up material to
reciprocate. This class suffered. No one
was spared - doctors, ministers, elderly
gentlemen, business men and boys.- The
darky was an universal target. One of
them, a preacher, stopped when struck
aud exclaimed angrily, “Ef you does dst
agin, I’ll have you read out dc church.”
He was furnished with enough reading
matter to last him six months.
-But snowballing was only a small por
tion of the fun; that enterprising firm Col
lins & Winn, at once went to work rig-
ging up buggies into sleighs and soon the
merry bells gave evidence of the progress
of the new amusement in Macon. Other
parties followed suit, and sleighs of every
description sped through the streets, din
ner bells iu some instances serving
jinglers. .. . ,
During the day a piercing northwest
wind sprung up, and the thermometer
started down. At five o’cleck it marked
fifteen degrees above zero; at six and a
half o’clock,fourteen, and at eight o'clock,
thirteen, being the lowest, wa learn ever
observed iu Macon. The sidewalks are as
slippery as glass, and the prospects at this
writing, are that to-day will furnish
fine opportunity for the use of sleighs and
fires. . ' l
The view, as obtained from tbe dome
of the Court House yesterday was both
novel and beautiful. A soft, silent white
ness crowned every object and surface
within tbe eye’s resell.
The pines upon the far-away hills lifted
their white arms full of snow into tbe
blue skies, and the roads leading out from
the city shone like the spotless paths down
which tbe artists lore to picture the an
gels descending.
Taken all In all, tho old year goes out
with considerable eclat, hls gray hairs
dancing in the wind. Let us hope that
the New will make bis appearance with a
few sun-kissed locks. Thoy are warmer
to look upon, and we could put up with as
deep a Uut as red now.

AMD WESTERN KAIL*
ROAD.
Farth*M4 kjr C*Imm1 Wadlejr u4
On last Saturday Colonel W. M. Wad
ley, president of the Central railroad,
purchased the Columbus aud Western—
formerly the Memphis and Savannah
railroad. Tbe price paid is something
over $700,000. Ail will be glad to learn
that it has fallen into such management,
for si aougli Columbus was interested to
tha amount of $100,000, comparatively
small benefit have we derived. The road
extends from Opelika to Goodwater, Ala.,
through one of tbe richest counties in
Alabama. It Is one of tha best located
roads in Alabama.
Some time ago It was sold to the bond
holders, wh n tbe name was changed to
that which forms the caption of thu arti
cle. The purchasers (the bondholders)
have been negotiating with Col. Wadley
and associates for some time past, but
not until last Saturday was a trade ef
fected.
Yesterday morning Col.’ Wadley passed
through our city en route for Opeilka.
His mission Is to go over tbe road in
order to see that everything is as repre
sented in the bill rendered. This will re
quire several days, when If everything is
correct the bargain will be closed. The
new company will take control about
January 1st, 1881.
They propose making Columbus tbe
eastern terminus and naming trains
from this point to Goodwater. We con
gratulate our city on such a prosperous
turn of affaire.

Macon, August 6, 1668.
Hon. James Fitzpatrick: Drab Sir—
Yours of tho 4th instant duly received.
Personally I am opposed to enlarging tbe
city because it will take-ta \ inovlUe and
thereby increase my taxes about fifty dol
lars, which is an item these hard times;
but believing it would secure the election
of Republican officers for several years to
come,I would be willing, for tbe sake of the
party to pay this extra tax. Jeff told me
several weeks ago that a bill had been
prepared for this purpose, and supposed it
had been presented before this time. I
should think you might have tbe bill
drawn up there. It’s not necessary to go.
into anything very elaborate. A petition
asking that the limits of tbe city do ex
tended half a mile all around, and that
the new acquisition be brought under the
laws and regulations of the city, is all
that is necessary. I have made inquiries
respecting the eligibility of the county
officers elect and am satisfied that none of
them held office before the war. I wouii
like to have you speak a good word
for Colonel Bailey to Governor Bullock;
he is a firstrate lawyer and done more for
the Republican cause than all tbe other
lawyers put together. In fact, he is tbe
only one iu the profession that voted the
Republican ticket iu Macon. I am fairly
started now iu my new office. There is
hut very little doing. Occasionally issue
a marriage license. So you see tbe people
will get married, notwithstanding tbe hard
times. I don’t bear any more about tbe
old court house. It probably will not be
given up except by an order from the Gov
ernor. 1 would like to nave you keep
me posted in matters that you think
would interest me, and I will do the same
•by you. I read your letter to Jeff. You
will probably hear from him soon.
V ery respectfully, C. T. WARD.
Macon, Dec. 18tb, 1878.
C. T. Ward, Esq.: Dear Sir—In com
mon with a very large portion of tho
Democratic party and citizens generally,
I ask your consent to allow the use
of your name as a candidate for sheriff in
this county. If you will come forward
your election can almost be assured.
Respectfully, A Democrat.
Macon, Dec. 19, 1878.
To a Democrat—Dear Sir: Your kind
favor is before me, and has been duly and
carefully considered. In reply, I have to
say tiiat I am a Democrat, and, when vot
ing at all, usually cas. in my voice with
that party. Thus, I voted for Col. Harde
man, Mr. Blount and other Democrats,
and feel identified with tlie interests and
fortunes of Macon and her citizens. I
should not have occupied the position ot
an independent candidate for ordinary in
tbe last election, if tbe opinion had not
been general that the short notice given
at the time for holding the primary elec
tion had prevented a fair expression of the
people’s sentiments as to who should rep
resent them. Fully half of the Democ
racy, in consequence of tiiat feeling, took
no part in the primary election. It is very
different in tlie present instance, however,
where due and sufficient notice wss given,
and a full vote polled. I beg leave re
spectfully to decline your invitation to run
independent for sheriff, and shall abide
and support the nomination of tbe Demo
cratic party.
[Signed] C. T. Ward.
OURCOUXTY ROADS.
Tbe Business si Hseoa Requires That
They Be Attended Tn.
The long rainy weeks have had a most
damaging efiect upon the roads leading
into Macon and our previously beautiful
thoroughfares have been reduced to a la
mentable condition. Probably the wont,
though the moat Important, road leading
into Macon is that which approaches from
Jones and Twiggs county, by way of
Cross Keys. It was last worked early last
spring, and has been subjected to a strain
for three months such as no thoroughfare
under the sun could have stood.
Incessant hauling and rain bavo made
it almost impassable. Tbe latter is true
also of all the roads leading into Macon
Tbe effect of this state of affaire has been
apd is being felt dally by tho citizens of
Macon. Cotton is blocked out of tbe
market aud wood is selling at $4 per cord.
In other words, the merchants are losing
the country trade, and the people are pay
ing fancy prices for fuel.
At their recent meeting the. road com
missioners re-elected Mr. Willis Wood,
superintendent, and Mr. Walter G. Smith
as clerk, and discussed plans suggested to
relieve the pressure caused by bad roads.
The most feasible one, iu the absence of
funds, was to borrow the chain-gang
from the city authorities for a couple of
months aud to place thorn at work im
mediately. We understand the com
mtssioners have laid before the city
council a petition to the end specified
Certain it is, that the emergency calls for
immediate action, and we trust our city
fathers may be made to realize it.
“UXDBR THR PALKR.”
A very appreciative audience filled Ma
sonic Hall to its utmost capacity to hear
tbe Christmas cantata, “Under tbe Palma,’’
as rendered by the children of the Pres
byterian church, assisted by several well
known vocalists ot the city. Tbe scenic
arrangement waa very fine and illustrated
the good taste of tbe managers. The sing
ing wss exceptionally good, all of the nu
merous choruses beiug - well put forth by
the children. The audieuce were
especially delighted with the voices of
Mrs. J. E. Wells, Jr., aud Mrs. Tbeo.
Wells, who never appeared to better ad
vantage. Mr. JulianPrice, without whom
no musical entertainment in Macon is
complete, again pleased his hearers with
his deep, rich tones. Mr. J. C. Powell
appeared for the first time since his return
and leut hls well cultivated voice to make
tbe evening enjoyable. The quartette by
tbe above-named ladies and gentlemen
was perhaps tbe gem of the entertain
ment.
The cantata as a whole was most excel
lent, and will long be remembered as au
entirely successful amateur performance.
The Velocipede Rase.
Christmas and the holiday eeasoa has
crowded out of our columns any mention
of the velocipede race further than the
first announcement made. The afislr has
not languished, however, and the boys
have been putting in some lively practic
ing. Santa Claus, iu view of the pro
posed nee, has been very thoughtful, and
has mounted many youngsters upon new
and improved machines, so tbst on Friday
next quue a brilliant array of riders
may be looked for. At 2:30 o’clock on
the afternoon of the day mentioned all
boys wishing to take part in the races
will assemble at the corner of Second and
Mulberry streets near the monument,
where a line will bo formed. The proces
sion will then move up Second to Cherry
street, returning to the monument. At
this point all the racers will remain
while not actually engaged in the contests.
Tbe races will take place over the stretch
of ground lying between Cherry and Mul
berry streets, the starting point being at
the first named. Four prizes have been
furnished, and tbe boys will be divided
into as many classes, viz:
First class, boys under fifteen years
or age, (gold) . . . . $10 00
Second, class, boys under eleven
years of age, (gold) . .
Third class, boys under eight years
of age, (gold) ....
Fourth class, boys under six years
of age, (gold) ....

At the residence of Professor W. D.
Williams, principal of tho Academy for
tho Blind, ou last night occurred a social
event of no little moment, alike o the
high contracting parties and the families
with which they stand connected. Tbe
peculiar surroundings added much to the
solemnities of the occasion. Miss Toclile
Williams, the only daughter of Professor
Williams, wss joined iu wedlock to Rev.
R. W. Macdonell, so well known in this
city. The groom Is under appointment
missionary of the M. E. Church, South,
to the city of Mexico, and this young
couple will leave for their distant home
early in January. ’
Tbe ceremony was performed by Rev.
A. M. Williams, brother of the bride,
assisted by Rev. G. G. N. Macdonuel, the
father of the groom. None but the fami
lies of the parties were present.
Tbe bride and groom left last night for
Savannah, where they will spend a week
iu visiting friends, and return to Macon
before they reave for Mexico.
We extend the most hearty congratula
tions to the happy pair, and bestow upon
them our editorial benediction.

We learn that on Saturday last an af
fray occurred in Jasper between two
cousins named Kelly, resulting iu the
death of one. Eight yean ago the:e was
a fight between the Kellys and another
party, in which two of tbe family lost their
lives. In this last difficulty the son of one
of the dead men killed a son of tbe only
survivor of the affair ot 1873.

named later. By the shove arrangement,
as will be seen, a boy under six years of
age may compete for ail the prizes; one
under eight for three of them, and one
under eleven for two. Each class of
racers will be started together, and some
lively fun may be expected. Tbe street
will be kept free of vehicles while the
races are going on, and spectators kept

The Hurricane Strikes New England.
We have received letters from different
parts of New England asking for informa
tion about a young girl named Eva Brit
ton, who is traveling tlic-re as the repre
sentative of the Charleston Hurricane,
and treasurer of the Southeastern Press
Association.
The young girl in question undoubtedly
came from Charleston, and her mother re
sides here. We do hot know of any such
newspaper or publication as the Hurricane,
bat Mrs. Britton informed a reporter on
Friday that such a paper was published in
the summer, and that another number will
be issued in January. The “Southeastern
Press Association” which is mentioned is
the “Southeastern Amateur Press Asso
ciation,” of Washington, D. C., which
published the fourth number of its letter-
paper size oigan this month. It Is organ
ized for “Hie promotion of amateur
journalism,” and the dues of members
are only fifty cents a year.
We have said enough, wo expect, to
satisfy the good people of New England
tha. the greatest kindness they can do the
representative of The Hurricane is to ship
her to Charleston, carriage paid.—

Law, Liquor, Rtmdajr aa4 Concealed
Weapons.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger:
It is often said that it Is impossible to pre
vent the sale of liquors outlie Sabbath and
on days of election, and also to prevent
the carrying of concealed weapons. The
writer of this article contends that the
fault Is uot with tho law, but with the of
ficers who are employed to enforce the
law.
The Legislature has granted sufficient
authority on this subject. Section 4310 of
the code of the State plainly attaches a
line uot to exceed one tbousaud dollars,
imprisonment not to exceed six months,
to work in a chain-gang on the public
works not to exceed twelve months, and
any one or more of these punishments
may be ordered, in the discretion of the
judge.
Now let tbe judges charge that, from
and after this date, all violators of these
laws shall be fined the full extent of the
law, and let them apply it with full force
against every offender, and my word for
it, it will stop.
The writer takes this occasion further
to say, that the selling of liquors on Sun
days and on days of electiou is not done
by bar-keepers, who do business ia a le
gitimate manner. The drunkenness that
occurs on these days is caused by the liq
uor sold by tbe drugstore,giocery store
and wholesale liquor store.
Ou tl>e days of municipal or other elec
tions, orders are published in the papers
requiring all of the bar-rooms closed.
Now, why not close up all other bouses
that sell liquor? Tbe law plainly says on
those days you shall not sell, furnish or
;ive liquor. The bar-rooms are all ttrlct-
y watched by the police, vet the grocery
itores give drinks and sell by tbaplnt aud j
half-pint bottles on Sunday and days of
election.
Why Is it that the bar-tender, who doe*
business in a legitimate way by paying
for his license, is watched and restricted
and heavily fined if brought before the
courts, while tbe doubis-violaters ot the
law go unmolested and unpunished f
As we have a new ana popular may
or, we hope he will do hls whole dntv, and
investigate tbe retailing of liquor without
license and apply the double penalty. Let
there be no discrimination, bat all be
placed on an equal footing. X I
