A Full sml Detailed Report of the Week’s
Eztrdses.
The thirty-fifth annual commence
ment of College Temple began last
(Sunday morning, and the exercises
were not finally concluded until Wed
nesday afternoon. The sermon was
preached by Rev. W. R. Footeai 11 A.
M., (Sunday, to one of the largest au
diences ever assembled here on any
similar occasion, and was a most ap
propriate and admirable production.
The congregation, and especially the
class, will long remember tbe beaut!
ful lessons drawn from Ruth’s devo
tion to Naomi, as well as other whole-
spnie truths presented. Bro. Koote
always preaches good sermons, but
he fairly excelled himself on this oc
casion.
No commencement in the history’of
tbe institution has presented so many
attractions, or features of such varied
Interest, while the attendance of vis
itors was confessedly the largest ever
known in Newnan. This is due in
some measure to the lateness of tbe
' season and con-conflict with other
commencement occasions ia tbe
Neighboring towns, tbe exercises at
College Temple being fully two weeks
later than usual. The town is literal
ly overrun with visitors, and theNeW-
nan people (who are never so happy
as when dispensing their hospitality
to strangers,} are entertaining them
most royally. They are cordially wel
come and it is hoped will not limit
their stay to the brief duration of a
commencement season.
MONDAY MORNING.
A spirited inarch brought forward
the Preparatory, Freshipan aDtl Soph
omore Classes. At a signal, they wel
comed the historic “Fourth” by a rous
ing, patriotic chorus—KThe Fourth of
July is here," which was composed
for the occasion. 1

sou. A very sprightly girl, with three
pretty dolls in her arms, laments her
arrival at the age of 13, for necessa-
ily dolls must he things of the past.
But love triumphs; she resigns her
loSg dresses, pretty braided jacket,
etd., clasps her dolls aud bids defiance
to years.
“My Earrings”—Sallie Gibson. A
pretty 1 ,tkle of Moorish lovers. »
A bright girl goes forward with the

Music.
days of the week. They marched
with sword and shield against the
n Grim Sultana,” Incited by lovely
"Fairy Hopeful.” The “Saltana” and
her court were gorgeous in Turkish
costumes. “Pasha Won't,” “Pasha
Don’t,” “Caliph Out-of-Sorts," and
the “Grand Vizier” were all well rep
resented. Led on by "Fairy Hopeful”
and her herald, tbe children conquer
ed and beheaded “Sultana” and the
“Grand Vizer,” which by cunning
manipulation appeared real. Receiv
ing promises they would trouble the
children no more, “Fairy Hopeful”
restores them to liberty and a trium
phant chorus closes the brilliant play.
It is impossible to convey by pen
the marvelous beauty of the play—the
glittering costumes, banners, floral
decorations, etc.
Miss Anderson, who designed and
carried it into effect, is certainly gifted
with a vivid imagination, a fertile
brain aud rare powers of manage
ment.
“The Royal Cavalcade” was anoth
er juvenile triumph. Four fairy-like
carriages bore each a still more fairy
like ohild. They were moved slowly
through superb arches at each end of
the stage by glittering attendants,
while a fine recitation, well delivered,
explained each character. The chil
dren represented March, April, May
and Summer.
The "Fairy Coronation” opened with
a perfectly rendered, spirited song,
being a call on ti^ fairies to "Come!*-
come!” Beautiful creatures flitted in,
bearing gifts; others full of mischief
audsport. A match-making fairy, cun
ning as Cupid’s self, threw gilt arrows
out into the audience, calling the
names of prominent but incorrigible
bachelors, much to the amusement of
all present.
This delightful entertainment closed
with the “Rings,” by the juvenile
class. Thanks to the skillful musi
cian, the poetry of motion seemed but
the uatnral outflow of her strains.
Thus closed one of the most highly
enjoyable and successful entertain
ments of tbe week.
highly wrought clirnzx, -mid
cannonade of words and fusilade of
gestures, swayed tbe audience. The
yonng enthusiast ceased amid a rain
of flowers and applause.
Music,
Tbe intense interest of the occasion
culminated as Prof. Kellogg, in bis
usual happy style, introduced Col. P.
8. Whatley, who captured the audi
ence at once by his patriotic theme,
"Our Southern Homes." He insisted
that the grandeur of ante-bellum days
could still be ours; we had but to be
tme to ourselves. His encomiums on
noted Georgians were received with
rounds of applause. A synopsis could
never do justice to tbe rhetorical beau
ty, the unflinching patriotism, and
numberless striking points in this
long-to-be-remembered effort of oar
distinguished townsman. If applause,
floral favors and individual congratu
lations may be accepted as true expon
ents of delight, tbe event will be a red-
letter day in tbe calendar of both
speaker and listeners.
TUESDAY MORNING.
JUNIOR DAY.
Prayer.
Chorus by the class. The young
ladier, and the fine selection of music,
each rendered the other more charm
ing.
“Battle of Ivry”—Brenda Gibson.
We were never more impressed by the
nobility of character exhibited by the
knightly, peerless Henry of Navarre,
“Seniors and Juniors” (composition)
—Maude Arnold. The time-honored
feud between Seniors and Juniors was
most humorously treated. It was al-j
so well read aud deserves to be pub
lished.
Music.
“Unchanging Love”—Pauline Fa
vor. A satire on unchanging affec
tion, a la Byron. Gestures, elocution;
and intonation were very fine, indeed;
and won floral tributes from many de
lighted friends.
The Last Hymn”—Nela Lou Wal-*
ton. Beautiful and pathetic as the
young speaker, with hereby, sensitive
face.
"Mabel”—FannieLou Arnold. Her
elocution is rare in one so young, and
her grace unsurpassed.
Fisherman’s Wife"—Dora Beck
man. A popular recitative, admirably
rendered. The climax was inspiring—
Then roll,ye waves,with your deafening roar.
My heurt like a feather it floating the air;
My fisherman's httt le lowly no more—
Love makes It a palace surpassingly fair.
The gay world may triumph, but never can
know
Tbe deep Joy and peace that now are my
own,
For love gilds these walls with .Its magical
f low,
my fisherman smiles like a king on his
throne.”
“Nan's Soliloquy”—Mattie Arnold.
This sportive, madcap recitative was
perfectly rendered. The san souci
air was native to the fair speaker, and
we agree with her that “fine lady airs
are purgatory.”
“Ham’s Letter”—Lillian Dent. Was
ever anything more amusing,or better
delineated? The lisp was perfect; there
was humor in every feature of her face,
and the audience was fairly convulsed
with laughter.
We failed to learn the names of the
different pieces of music rendered at
different times; but no lover of har
mony could have been otherwise than
delighted.
“The Vagabonds”—Weir Lyndon.
A professional would have been pleas
ed with the rare ease of posture—the
natural talk with “Roger,”—the re
morseful reminiscences of the p«8t—
the tender, almost human attachment
of the dog and the vagabond’s jubi
lant climax:
•• ‘Friendless,’ He loves me;—ah, how my
- heart sings!
“ ‘ Roger, ye vagabonds are really two
TUESDAY NIGHT.
ANNUAL CONCERT.
The grand opening assured us of tbe
fine musical treat in store for the
crowded house. Presence of mind,
skill, sweetness of touch and fine mod
ulatioD of voice characterized the per
formers.
“Forget me not”—(a gong)—pulsed
like heart-throbs over the hail.
“Annie Laurie”—(variations)
brought sweetly to mind “I’ll lay me
down and dee.” The most thought
less oue present would have been ben
efited by hearkening the melody and
noting tbe skill of the fair soloist.
The “Waltz Song” waltzed us clear
away from our usual staid behavior,
and we found ourselves, in imagina
tion, “tripping the light fantastic
toe.”
“Lauterbach Waltz” was an exquis
ite piece, rendered by two exquisite
young ladies.
Pantomimes. •
The curtain rose on the Senior Class,
in classic eream-colored drapery
Miss McGuire announced that “Ex
pectation” would be sung by Miss
Laura Daniel; pantomime to follow,
by class.
Miss Daniel’s full, fine voice rang
out like a peal of symphony, holding
all breathless.
The lovely pantomime which fol
lowed defies description.
Miss Jennie Burpee sang “Douglas,”
in her clear, hird-Uke tones.
MissesNorth and SwintsaDg“Raise
me, Jesus,” the entire class joining in
the chorus.
"Moonlight in the Forest,” by Miss
Weir Lyndon, could scarcely be as
lovely in reality as the nimble-finger
ed young Orpheus painted it in music.
Her proficiency is as marked as unus
ual.
“Welcome to Spring” was worthy
of the name, of the skillful teacher,
and of the excellent performers.
Twelve hands made the echoes ring
with the glad tones of the jubilant
New Year.
“Moonlight on the Rhine!” Off we
sailed, in imagination, on the wings
of Bweet song; saw the huge cliffs,
overhanging vines, haunted castles
and witching scenery.
"Oberon.” The performer seemed a
veritable Titania in grace and loveli
ness. We almost expected the fairy
chariot and trains.
“Toccoa”—Miss Ruby Ray. A
handsome, graceful brunette, dressed
in the most striking, gorgeous Indian
costume. She seemed herself the In
dian maid; the devoted daughter; the
undaunted heroine. A more striking
picture one rarely enjoys. The lithe
figure, liquid eye and poetic concep
tion of the beautiful in nature were
true characteristics of the child of the
forest.
"Drift my Bark!” Ah, how wil
lingly would we drift away to such in
viting strains! The very echoes gave
up the tones reluctantly.
“Naughty Men” triumphed, as the
lords of creation generally do. When
people prefer tyrants there is nothing
to do but resign them to tyranny.
“La Rosiere” was a pretty little
French comedy, abounding in wit,
pathos and poesy, and with a dramat
is persona: as charming as the play
was entertaining. The scenic effects
were admirably designed, and could
not have been displayed more artisti-
cally-or to better advantage.
A waltz floats dreamily out. Twen
ty-four gypsy tambourine girls min
gle in the dance which follows, going
through all the graceful evolutions
with the ease and precision of a drill
corps. Finally the ranks open and
down tbe centre of tbe gay line tripe
the levely gypsy bride—brilliant with
tinsel, colors, etc. She sings a happy
forest roundelay, her attendants join
ing in the chorus and dancing to the
music of tambourine and Castanet.

In their insurrection, she rises equal

princess and meet the infuriated mob.
Flowers and applause.

WEDNESDAY MORNING.
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
The exercises oh preceding days
were full of interest and enthusiasm,
bat when Wednesday dawned upon
the commencement the hearts of pa
rents and pupils, friends and visitors,
were in a flutter of expectation and
delight, for on this day was centered
the greatest interest of tbe occasion.
The spacious hall was packed to over
flowing, and many were unable to ob
tain standing room in the audience.
President Kellogg introduced Rev.
V. A. Ham, of Shsrpsbnrg, who
opened the exercises with an appro
priate prayer.
This was tbe hour appointed for the
reading of essays by the graduating
class, and the audience was keenly
alert when the order of exercises was
announced.
Miss Mamie Swint, of Newnan, was
the first on the list, who came forward
promptly in response to her name.
Her subject was “Oracles,” and she
handled the theme admirably, invest
ing her thoughts with language as
beautiful as it was appropriate. She
retired amid a perfect shower of flow
ers, which testified most gratifyingly
tbe appreciation of her audience.
MJm MoUle Arnold, of Newnan,
ter occupation on such occasions, and
the fair reader was listened to with an
intentness that showed clearly the in
terest and sympathy of her andience.
Miss Nellie Kate Smith, of Palmet
to, referred in glowing terms to “Oor
Foremothers.” She wreathedaround
their names and memories a chaplet
of unfading glory and in glowing
terms portrayed their matchless
worth.
Miss Ella McGnire, of Newnan, led
her audience out into the “El Dorado'
of intellectual riches and painted that
wonderful realm in letters of gold
and pictures cf silver.
Miss Cora Keller, of Newnan, s«
lected as her subject “The Gates Ajar.
Her theme was one of the happiest se
lections on the list, and tbe essay
which followed was received by the
audience with the liveliest evidences
of delight.
Miss Minnie North, of Newnan, in
a sweet, captivating style read “The
Chalice of Life," and from tbe golden
elixire of love and dnty she distilled
a draught that sparkled to the brim
with beautiful gems of thought.
Miss Laura Daniel, of Newnan, in
tbe subject of “Rings” feund a ready
topic, and right cleverly did she talk
upon this unique theme—from the
cunning that characterizes tbe rings
of tbe partisan public down to the
glowing circlets that emblemize the
purest affections of the human heart.
Miss Mell Arnold, ef Newnan, han
dled the subject of “Dowers” with the
skill of a trained essayist. Her well
modulated voice fitted the roundings
of her periods and pleased her listeners
amazingly.
Mias Nellie Potts, of Newnan, chase
the (ime-worn subject "Dixie,” but
she wove around it a newness of beau
ty that was refreshing. This land of
precious memories she entwined with
the chaplets of its glorious past and
the garlands of a yet grander future,
and over it all threw a halo of charms
that doubly idealized the land we love
—our own dear “Dixie.”
Mise Anna Vara, of Bartow, Flo.,
wrote of “Money.” She delineated
the wonders to be accomplished by
wealth and the good that would come
from gold when directed in useful
channels. She treated her subject in
a lucid, dispassionate manner, and
showed in her own conclusive way
that money might be always a bles
sing, and never a curse, to humanity.
Miss Jimmie Harris, of Turin, Ga.,
with an artistic grace peculiarly her
own, carried the immense crowd be
fore her through "Georgia’s Portrait
Gallery” and pointed out the portraits
that hung upon the walls and adorned
the illustrious past of the “Empire
State.” Her glowing eulogies upon
our great men were happily conceived
and elicited tbe applause she so well
deserved.
Miss Annie Belie Clarke, of New-
nan, expressed her sentiments upon
that apposite quotation—
The young lady, in a patriotic vein,
portrayed the excellencies of those
who by patience and perseverance in
the rank and tile, rose to distinction
and renown and built up by their ef
forts natioual reputations.
Miss Ella Gena' Beckcom, of Bul
lard’s Station, Ga., dwelt upon “Hu
man Ivies,” and enchained her sub
ject with a rare gift of elegaot lan
guage that terminated in a most hap
py conception of those golden affec
tions that cling round the shrines of
human love.
Miss ConDie Hartsfield, of Newnan,
followed with the choice selection—
“The fault is in ourselves, not in our
stars, that we are underlings.” In a
most pleasing way tbe sweet modula
tions of her voice mingled with the
delightful thoughts that veined them
selves through the composition and
made of her essay a veritable literary
treat.
The last on the list was Miss Jennie
Burpee, of Newnan. In her responses
to the predictions of the “Oracles"
she portrayed the glories of “Tri
umphs,” and with urgent appeal bade
her fair companions falter not until
their efforts in life were set with the
crowns of success. Her parting words
to the class were tender and touching,
and spoke the volumes of affection in
which were written the love of their
school-girl life.
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
At 5 p. u. the crowd again assem
bled, this time to witness the conclud
ing exercises of the season. The prin
cipal attraction was tbe oration of Col.
T. C. Nolan, of McDonough, Ga., who
had been selected to deliver the An
nual Address, and despite the inclem
ent weather there was a large attend
ance of people, both residents and vis
itors. Col. Nolan’s fame as an orator
bad preceded him, and so extrava
gantly had it been sounded by his
friends that public expectation was
raised almost to the pitch of fastidious
ness. The people expected a good
speech, and we are gratified to state
that this anticipation was folly and
most pleasingly realized. His theme
was “Education of Thought,” and his
easy elaboration of what would as
suredly have proven a complex sub
ject in less erudite hands, impelled
the heartiest applause and admiration
from his delighted audience. It was
the consummation of eloquence, and
a triumph in oratory such as is rarely
achieved, even on sophomoric occa
sions. We cannot better convey this
idea, or the degree of appreciation
with which it was received, than by
quoting the language of an enthusias
tic auditor, who affirmed that “its
rare beauty reminded one of an exotic
where—
“ ‘One much the more, one ray the less.
Had half impaired the nameless grace.
“If perfection dwells in fitting lan
guage; this ia the excelsior. Though
replete with rhetorical beauty, it was
beaming with tenderness, lovely
chastity and faultless moral elevation.
He made life’s privileges so grand,
its objective aim so angelic!” He
spoke about thirty minutes and held
bis audience almost spelt-bogJBfl by
Upon the conclusion of Col. NclSn’s
address the Seniors were arranged *iu
a line facing President Kellogg, who
proceeded to confer the degrees to
which they were respectively entitled,
to-wit:

First Degree in English—Laura
Daniel, Newnan, Ga.; Mell Arnold,
NewLan, Ga.; Nellie Potts, Newnan,
Ga.; Anna Varn, Bartow, Fla.
President Kellogg pronounced
touching and affectionate benediction
upon the retiring class, aud a more
fitting conclusion to the week’s exer
cises would be difficult to conceive.
It was an affecting scene, and as im
pressive as affecting. The warm
attachment existing between teach
er and pupil was pleasing to see,
and that this bond of affection will
strengthen and intensify as the j ears the music department.

ANNUAL REUNION.
The annual reunion took place iD
Arcade Hall Wednesday evening at 8
o’clock, and was a most enjoyable
gathering. Beside the pupils and
their city friends, a large number of
visitors contributed to the pleasure of
the occasion by their presence. The
merry hours slipped by almost un
perceived, and all were surprised when
the time for adjournment arrived.
COMMENCEMENT NOTES.
Such a profusion of rare flowers it
was never our privilege to witness be
fore. They were ranged in semi-cir
cles around each happy recipient.
Several were composed entirely of
Marechal Neil buds.
The class or '87 may well be styled
“the fair fifteen.”
Some learned critic called attention
to the following quotation from
Shakespeare, “Our love’s more richer
than our tongue.” They will find it
in King Lear—a speech of Cordelia’s.
It is in keeping with “most unkindest
cat.” Double comparatives, double
superlatives, and various other privi
leges are admissible in celebrities.
When “Dixie” was read, one bright
little girl walked upon the stage with
a bouquet of cotton blooms, sayiDg to
the audience, “These are Dixie’s flow
ers,”—then gracefuiy presented them
to our young heroine.
All agree that the graDd old Tem
ple is still ahead, and prophesy maoy
brilliant years of future usefulness and
prosperity
The fall session will probably open
August 29th
The concert receipts on Monday
night amounted to $89.15, and on Tues
day night to $80.65,
President Kellogg and his estimable
lady entertained a number of friends
at dinner on Wednesday;—indeed,
they kept open house all the time, but
Wednesday's dinner was rather an
extra occasion. Fact is, if we must
tell it, they were expecting the author
of these lines and a few other distin
guished guests, all of whom were pres
ent and did full and ample justice to
the feast.
Some additional notes intended for
this issue will have to be deferred until

The examination of classes on Mon
day and Tuesday were entirely satis
factory to the patrons and friends of
the institution, showing that the prin
cipal and his assistants possess fully
those qualifications so necessary to
equip one to successfully meet the
great responsibilities of an educator.
The literary address of Prof. C. L.
Moses was pronounced one of the
most practical efforts of tbe kind that
has ever been delivered here, and pa
rents and guardians would do well to
reduce maoy of his suggestions to
practice.
The entertainments on Monday and
Tuesday nights were well attended,
and are spoken of as very interesting
and pieasaDt occasions.
There was oue event which cast a
doom over the latter part of the exer
cises, and that was wbenProf. Pollock
tendered his resignation. It was only
then that his patrons, pupils and
friends realized the hold that be bad
upon their hearts aud affections. Ir
repressible tears were only some of
the visible evidences of this fact; but
we are gratified to know that the board
of trustees, realizing the great loss they
were about to sustain, have gone to

Freeman’s plan. We say wipe the
vile stuff out; and would go further
and say, so amend the law as to pro
hibit its shipment into the county.
Lay an embargo upon every means by
which the law and the wishes of the
people are now so wantonly abused
There is a town 19 miles from here—
formerly known as Griffin, but now
as tbe “Jug City”—whose whiskey
rings are daily shipping by express
jugs of poisonous liquor into this and
other prohibition counties, knowing
that it is against the will and wishes
of the good, law-abiding citizens of
these communities. Prohibit this vile
practice by law, and then make these
parties respect the law.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
A Brilliant Social Event.
Mr. Editor:—One of the most bril
liant social events of tbe season was
the Japanese party at Mrs. Wiley’s on
Friday evening last, given by the Mo
zart Society. The committee of invi
tation was composed of Miss Cora Bal
lard, Miss Alice Askew and Col. R.
M. Holley. About seventy-five invi
tations were issued, your co-respond
ent being favored with a place on the
list.
The verandah and grounds were
beautifully lit up with Japanese lam
terns and ornamented with other Jap
anese decorations. A short but enter
taining programme had been prepared
for the delectation and amusement of
tbe invited guests.
The initial performance was “Pal
metto March,” by Master Will Dean.
This is not only a beautiful piece of
music, but has the additional merit of
being original with Will.
Next was a recitation, “Cupid’s Ar
rows,” by MissBeatrice Cochran. This
amusing piece was happily rendered.
That grand piece of mnsic. “Nearer
My God to Thee,” (variations,) was
skillfully executed by Miss FJorrie
Bullard, who is one of tbe most ac
complished musicians in Palmetto.
Miss Rhemer HoIIeman’s rendition
of “The Station Agent’s Story” wa9
much admired.
Miss Cora Ballard followed with one
of Mendelssohn’s choicest composi
tions. Miss Cora is an excellent per
former. She has a fine ear, an exquis
ite tonob, and her music gave great
pleasure.
A recitation, “Morua’s Waters,” by
Miss Maude Ballard, rendered in her
□sual graceful style, concluded the pro
gramme.
Soon supper was announced, and the
party repaired to the dining-room,
where a bounteous repast awaited
them. There was cake, ice cream,
fruits (both native aDd tropical,) and
many other things that would have
delighted an epicure. The centre
>iece of the table wasa miniature lake,
□ which the young gentlemen fished
for the names' of the ladies. Mach
merriment grew ont of this.
The small hoars were approaching
before the party finally dispersed, all
haviDgspent a most delightful evening.
Nothing adds more to tbe pleasure
and improvement of young people
than these musical aud literary socie
ties. Palmetto can boast of two, both
of which have fall memberships and
are well attended;—both have decided
musical, elocutionary and dramatic
talent, and both give most enjoyable
entertainments. Since their organi
zation, less than a year ago, our yonng
people have steadily improved in elo
cution aDd mnsic, and have gleaned
quantities of fun and pleasure from
frequent meetings.
Success to tbe Mozarts and tbe Mi
kados! May they live long and pros
per! Nemo.

moved to tears. The table was one of
the longest and broadest ever set in

it was th9 best. Tbe ladies around
Liberty know exactly how to prepare
a spread of this sort. Please see Mr.
Pearce Tomlin, Mr. Hammett, and

_ w _ , and especially
the poof, so much at ; art. as he says,
whv does he not give us tho moral influ
ence of his name?” If he is in hearty
svmpathv with the prohibition cause,
why does'he make such a vigorous attack
upon his brother prohibitionist, who,
hitherto, has been right, but now has a
little spell of “fanaticism” on him? They
sav “Spectator” writes in letter one way
bu t his spirit points theother. Why did
he withhold his name! Was he ashamed
or was he afraid? Was heafraid that his
motives would have been questioned?
tv as he afraid lest it might appear that
he was related to some one of the kind-
hearted and genial gentlemen who have
the sole right to sell all the sickly people
of our very sickly county? If lie is rela
ted to any of the men who have this priv
ilege in Coweta, (and will he deny it?)
then he well knows his communication
would have fallen still-born, and that all
would have said to him, “Are you certain
that you write so vigorously and so sar
castically, and if not bitterly, certainly
with smile spite, because your soul has
been stirred lest a great outrage be per
petrated on the poor sick people of Cow
eta by this ‘saint run mad?’ Are you
certain that vou are an honest seeker af
ter truth, and that vou are bearing upon
your great and good heart the interest of
the people who may suffer for the want
of this indispensable medicine? Tho
heart is very deceitful, and we suggest
to you that you examine yours ana see
if you are not more interested in keeping
vour kinsman in a very profitable ousi-
ness than you are in the welfare of the
people? The veiy spirit of your article
suggests these questions to our minds,
and hence we ask you to examine your
heart. We do not say we are right, nor
do we make any charges, but only ask
these questions' as suggestions.”
Withholding his name was doubtless
the wisest thiug “Spectator” could have
done.
But let us give attention to some of the
points he makes. Ho says I take issue
with the law. Is this the first time a
man lias joined issue with the law?
Every time the Legislature changes,
amends, or repeals a law, they join issue
witli it. A few years ago any man by
paying the license, could sell it anywhere
in Coweta county, but the people oi tho
county joined issue with that old law
and changed it. Aftor seeing the work
ings of this last law, a goodly number of
Cowt.ta’s citizens feel that there is some-
thjng still better ahead of them, and they
(pun issue with the present law; and if
Jfhey can they will nave it changed. My
dear sir, every innovation upon old laws
and customs is a joining issue with them
—yes, a trampling them UDder foot and
putting something else in place of them.
Yes, and the cry you make now of “fa
naticism” is the same cry that has ever
been made by those who oppose innova
tions. When Paul preached Christ, the
Savior of sinners, at Ephesus, Demetrius,
a silversmith, who made’ silver shrines
for Diana, called his fellow-craftsmen to
gether and said to them: “Sirs,ye know
that by this craft we have our wealth.
Moreover, ye see and hear that not alone
at Ephesus, but almost throughout all
Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and
turned away much people, saying that
thev be no gods which are made wiih
hands; so that not only this our craft is
in danger to be set at'naught, but also
th»t the temple of the great goddess Di
ana should be despised and her magni
ficence destroyed.” They were opposed
to the reforms that followed the preach
ing of the Gospel; they were afraid lest
Christ be enthroned and Diana do-
tliroued; and last but not least, they were
afraid that the business by which they
had their wealth would be rendered use
less:—and therefore they stirred Ephe
sus with this cry of “fanaticism.” And
later down, the enemies of Luther and
Knox said they w ere fanatics. Why, sir,
this aamecry of “fanaticism” afew years
ago was raised when the people of Cow
eta undertook to letdown tho Hood gates
through which the liquor traffic was
flowing in upon thorn so much mis
ery and woe, ruin and death. Who
raised this cry then? Was it done
by those who had the good of tho people
at heart? Was it by those who sympa
thized with the fond mothers whose sods
had been enticed almost to their ruin?
Was it by the fathers who trembled at
the appalling dangers ahead of their no
ble boys? Was it raised by those who
felt for the poor widows and orphans
who,in sore poverty and distress,brought
upon them by this traffic, were treading
in loneliness and sorrow life’s thorny
way? Who raised it? Doyounotknow
who did it? Do you not know it was not
raised by any of the aforementioned per
sons? Sir, they not only cried out “Fa
naticism!” they not only said none but
fanatics undertake to legislate morals in
to a people, but they cried as you do
now, that the law favored the rich; lhey
said tho poor would be the sufferers, for
if it is sold only as isdesigned by the law
proposed, the rich could get it but the
poor and unirliuential could not. And
right here I digress to say that if the rich
can go and get it when the poor cannot,
it is so much the worse for the rich and
so much the better for tbe poor. The
rich can ill afford to curse himself with
its use, the poor cannot at all afford to
suffer by its use. But was that cry true?
Think you those who raised this cry
cared as much for the poor as they did
for what the poor would pay for it? Can
the poor get it now in Coweta without
the money ? Now, do you not know that
in our county no medicine is in reach of
the rich that the poor cannot get. _ Point
out a poor person who ever suffered for
want of medicine. But the point is the
merest claptrap, and raised to arouse
prejudice. Before “Spectator” can pose
as the guardian of the interests ol tbe
joor, he should give his name to the pub
ic and let the public decide where his
interests lie.
were not troubled. If the law was not
violated, and if the violation was not
gross, think you that the last grand iurv
would have recommended a chanira?
Now this body had the books before
them, and after examining them thev
say there should bo a change. Have von
read their presentments on this subiept?
Got and read them. Some dav last week
one of the best citizensof Coweta county
said that nine-tenths of the whiskv
bought was used as a beverage and rmt
as a medicine. The same thing was said
by another to me this week. If this is
true, or if it is only one-tenth true, then
has not some one sworn falsely? If vou
do not know that it is the common talk
among the people that the law is viola
ted, where do you stay or with whom do
you associate? I was bold enough to
Dublish what is the common talk, and
you seek to make capital out of it. Mv
dear sir; the people wero glad some ono
dared to call attention to this matter
publicly. I could have done like you—
said these things under cover; but I Dro-
fer an open fight.
Now, lest my-sileBcc be misconstrued,
a personal reference must be made, and
for it I ask the indulgence of tho public
“Spectator” was so hard pressed that he
did not hesitate to allude to the past and
present sickness in. mv family. He
seems to feel happy over the fact that
prohibitionists have been forced to buy
strong drink. He seems to be more than
happy over our recent afflictions, because
thereby I havo been forced,-against my
convictions, by act, if not by word, to
admit that this body and soul 'destroyer
is a necessity as a medicine. It is true I
have bought it because physicians have
advised it. But does that prove it a ne
cessity? It was only the opinion of the
physicians. Upon this point physicians
differ. During the prohibition campaign
in Fulton county a large number, if not
a majority of tiie physicians in Atlanta,
and some of them are .quite eminent,
gave it as their opinion that alcohol is
not a necessity, either as a medicine or
as an element in compounding, for a
substitute could be found for it. And
besides, it has been discarded by my
wife as a medicine, and she sayBshe has
not suffered because of it—but on the
contrary does just as well without it.
After seeing the ravages of alcohol, does
it not behoove us to seek the substitute?
Does it not behoove all to make at least
one honest and faithful effort to do with
out it?
Let us take a broader and higher view
of this question. Let us riso above self
and stand upon the plane of real self-de
nial. It is written, “Wherefore, if meat
make my brother to offend I will eat no
flesh while tho world standetb, lest I
make niv brother to offend.” Here is an
exalted sentiment - none other than that
inspired by our blessed Savior. Will
not a sickly person, who feels that it will
be a groat sacrifice for him to vote it out
of his reach, challenge tho admiration of
the true and tho good everywhere, and
receive tho a proval of God, should he
say, “1 not only consent for it tp go, but
I vote for it to be driven away, because
il it remains in my reach as a medicine
it will remain in the reach of my neigh
bor as a curse. I part with it as a med
icine if by so doing I save my neighbor
from its blighting touch.” Would Psul
have stickled and been guilty of Bpecial
pleading along bore, and said “I need it
as a medicine and will not coDBent for it
togo?” Would he have said, “I admit
it is a great and dreadful curse, and lam
so sorry for it: but I must look out for
tho infirmities of my body though it
causes the ruin of both sou) and body of
my neighbor?” No, no! He would have
occupied the very highest and most ex
alted position of Christian self-denial,
and he would have said, “I will use it no
more while tbe world standetb, lest I
make my brother to offend.”
Now I appeal to every weak, delicate,
and sickly inhabitant to immolate self
and stand upon this exalted piano of
Christian self-denial, and seek one of
tiiose petitions and sign it. Ana let
those who have the petitions hold on to
them and get as many names as possible.
They will not be needed tor a few weeka
yet; so do not return them as long as
there is hope of adding another name,
unless they are called for.

Any county now vwting on the question

law into operation. Floyd county will
vote on it Saturday, anditis thoughtthe
law will be earned there. Were the
members of the Legislature who passed
this law, and tbe Governor who approved
it, and the noble women who fought and
prayed for it, fanatics? Were the good
people all over the State who urged and
demanded this law of their representa

of Christians of every name and order,
who put their shoulders to the wheel and
carried this law into effect in Fulton
county, defeating and driving the whis-

“Spectator” show any difference between
this law and onrs as it will be when
amended as proposed ? If Fulton county
and the city of Atlanta with her fifty
thousand inhabitants can do well enough
under the law, why can we net? The
cry yon raise as to the poor, and spirits
