The ginnery at that, place is doing a fine business and keeps five gins constantly engaged. A large amount of cotton will change hands at this place, as the merchants are liberal bidders, while the farmers are anxious to build up t heir home town. This is right. The value of real estate is thus enhanced, and every other in terest is benefited. Leaving Puckett’s, Lutherville was the next point reached on the route. This nice village wants a railroad. The good people look forward to the. “long- talked-of extension” with interest and paralysis, and lived but a short time after the attack. 1 have not had op portunity to get the particulars.

Because we want the revenue derived front the sale of spirits to go into the county instead of tlie city treasury. 4. Because the present permit system is slavish, despotic, and degrading to American manhood. If 1 am elected I will have the Acts ot 1882- 83, and the amendments of 1886-87. known as the prohibition Acts for Coweta county, re pealed: and also secure the passage of a bill allowing any man to sell by the quart on giv ing tlie required bond and paying the license in terms of the law. This would put the bus iness on an equal footing, without increasing the sales. While I am opposed 1o intemperance of ev ery kind and natur*. yet I believe, and hold it to bean inalienable right, t! at each indi vidual should have the privilege of spending ills money as he sees proper. All restrictive legislation strikes at the very foundation o ' our free institutions. Our forefathers went to war with England for just such prohibitory measures. By resisting they won their inde pendence and freedom. Let us emulate tlvir patriotic example and beas t-rue to those prin ciples transmitted to us as they were true to themselves and their God. Nothing more could they have asked, and nothing less will we do. Ii I tun elected the people ol Coweta shall have no cause P > ri gret their choice: for I am too proud to do wrong and too independ ent to be servile. These are tny views, and, if they are in accord with your own, go to the polls in October and vote for me. L. P. BARNES. Newnan, Ga., Sept. 13. 1SH8. FOB TREASURER.
