Anti-Barroom Bill.
(Published by req -r.)
There are 977 liquor saloons in
HOMER, BANKS COUNTY, GEORGIA: MAY 1(5, 1895.
Georgia, licend by the State. “The
Antißarroom Bill'’ will close every
one of them.
There are about 45 government dis
tilleries and a number of breweries
in Georgia, ami they are destroying
50- 000 bushels of grain every year.
“The Anti-Barroom Bill” will stop all
this waste.
Unless some of the “dry” counties
repeal their prohibitory liquor laws
there cant be more than 45 places in
the State where liquor can he sold,
and that for medical and scientific
purposes, only.
There are about 100 high-iicensed
saloons in Atlanta now. When “The
Anti-Barroom Bill” becomes a law
there can be but one in Fulton coun
ty, and that one not allowed to sell
liquors for beverage purposes.
There are about 100 saloons in
Macon, about 185 in Augusta, and
about 302 in Savannah. When “The
Anti- Barroom Bid 1 becomes a law
there can be but one in Bibb county
and but one in Chatham, and that
one not a saloon —not allowed to sell
liquors for b-verage purposes.
And so if the 41 counties in which
liquors ere now sold. And it will be
for the people in each of the 45 coun
ties to sai, whether or not they will
have it sold for in vdical purposes.
In other words, it will stop all the
goveanment distilleries and br ewerics,
and nearly a thousand saloons; and
there cannot be mere than forty-five
and will not lkelv he more than
twenty-five vendors, and they forbid
den to sell liquors for beveioge pur
poses.
“Our cities are now dependent on
the state legislatin'# for the measure
of autonomy they are permitted to
enjoy.’
In licensing saloons they have so
abused their power that the people of
the state should take the matter in
hand.
“ The Anti Barroom Bill’ will take
the matter out of the hands of the
towns and citti<-s, and leave it with
the pe .p[c id the counties to say
whether or not they will have liquors
sold for medical an l itiiicluiiic.'il pur
poses.
The people of Georgia are paying
about nine million dollars a year fo r
liquor. And to this is to be added
the direct cost—lost labor, crime, and
pauperism, caused by drunkenness
which will likely ninri >unt to three
million dollars. So, allowing that the
law he very much violated, r will
save the people six or seven million
dollars tiic first year; and in a tew
years if will save the people ten mil
inn dollars unually.
The mission of the saloon is to
tempt men and boys to their mine
And not withstanding the many re
strictions it is under in Georgia, it is
likely debauching more men and boys
than all the ehurehes are saving! And
to accomplish its diabolical designs
it corrupts politics and government.
But when “The Anti-Barroom Bill”
becomes a law, the greatest corruptor
and tempter, and enemy will go from
Georgia. Then there is no calcula
ing the tears that will lie staunched,
not the heart-ache* that will be pre
rchtcil.
l'iiese are just, some of the good
tilings that will cornu to Gorgia when
this bill is enacted into law. It will
bring nothing but good to anybody.
There is nothing possible to human
instrumentality that will bring so
much good to Georgia.
The committee has carefully consul
eracl the matter and find that it would
1; possible in one way only, to ini
prove 011 tint bill ( if that would be an
rrprovement, and in that we are bar
red by the Constitution. Will not the
good people of the State demand that
it be enacted into law?
