FOR CONGRESS—FOURTII DISTRICT.
THOMAS W. GRIMES,
OF MUSCOGEE.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has sustained the decision of the
Iowa Courts which declared illegal and
a nuisance a distillery in that State
which manufactured spirits for sale out
side of the State. This is the famous
, case of the State of Iowa vs. Kidd,
‘ which has excited so much interest
throughout the country, and espec ally
in prohibition communities. Iowa has
a State law which forbids the sale, and
this action was brought to test the le
gality of the question as to whether the
manufacture of liquor could not be
prohibited also, even though the dis
tiller was licensed to manufacture by
l. . ' the general government and shipped
notice to Distrcit Democratic Exec-; the products of his distillery beyond
utive Committeemen. j t*:e confines of the State for sale.

Restriction vs. Prohibition.
The town of Barnesville has been
worrying for five or six years over the
question of local prohibition. There
are two factions in the county, and the
differences growing out of a too frequent,
.agitation of the question have been so
bitter and uncompromising as to seri
ously affect the harmony of the Demo
cratic party. It. is a recognized issue in
all political contests, both county and
municipal, and a prolific source of dis
cord under whatever circumstances pre
sented. About five years ago prohibi
tion was voted upon as a separate issue,
under a special act of the Legislature
submitting the question to the people,
and was adopted. Two years ago the
antis captured the legislative members,
who pledged their efforts to secure a re
peal of the special act passed for Pike
county, and thus, by the provisions of
the general local option law, allow the
people to vote on the question every
two years. They were successful in

The West Point Terminal Company,
the great Southern railroad octopus, by
a brilliant coup de grace this week has
scooped the Central road and now con
trols that entire system. By this last
deal the West Point. Terminal secures
absolute control of eight thousand
miles of railway in the South, compris
ing the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia, the Richmond and Danville,
the Central, and all branches and leased
lines of which these immense and com
plex systems are composed.
Col. R. W. Freeman, Chairman of
the County Democratic Executive Com
mittee, has forwarded $45 to the Na
tional Democratic Campaign Committee
—this being the amount of Newnan’3
contribution. None of the other dis
tricts have yet been heard from.

fie practically prohibitive so far as the
town was concerned. A strong pres
sure has been brought to bear upon the
city authorities recently, though, and
the plan is now being conside red of es
tablishing a liquor dispensary, to be
under the exclusive control of the May
or and Council and maintained as a sep
arate municipal function. A city dis
penser will be appointed, only such per
cent, being charged on liquors sold as
will afford an income sufficient to de
fray the expenses of the office.
It is decidedly a new experiment in
Georgia and will be watched with in
terest. The Gazette is inclined to fa
vor the plan, as a choice between two
evils, and says:
The question of taking in charge and
regulating the sale of ardent spirits, by
the City Council, has been treated very
lightly by some. It is said that this is
something new and untried. By no
means is this true. Sweden as a nation
in a similar way controls entirely the
sale of ardent spirits within her bor
ders. The government in the outset
distils the liquors and thereby guaran
tees a pure article. The dispenser is ap
pointed by the government and is paid
a salary. 'He is not allowed to receive
anything but the stipulated salary. He
is thus placed where the sale of a great
quantity is no incentive to make money.
But, on the contrary, it is best for his
comfort and ease that he sell just as lit
tle as possible. The sale is made as the
law prescribes and all legitimate de
mands are met.
In addition to the sale of liquors as
prescribed by law, the dispenser is al
lowed to keep for sale milk and coffee,
and on this he is allowed to make all
the profit he can. Here, then, is an in
centive to the dispenser to sell as little
liquor as possible and all the coffee and
milk possible. The result in Sweden is
admirable and no one sees the opera
tions of the dispensary under govern
ment direction but is convinced that it
is not only proper for the government
to control the sale of liquor, but that it
is decidedly the best.

It was with sadness that we were call
ed upon to attend the funeral of Dr. W.
B. Couch on Sunday last at Senoia.
Dr. Couch was a good man and highly
esteemed by all who knew him. The
worth of such men is not always appre
ciated until they have passed away. As
your Senoia reporter will doubtless give
a more extended account of the life
and death of deceased, I will not at
tempt to do so in this article. To the
sorrowing family the writer extends his
warmest sympathies.
'‘Gathered home from the ills of life,
G itliered home from its weary s'rife;
Gathered home to a land most fair,
Gathered eternally there.”
“Gathered home from the vale of tears.
Gathered home from the t ide of years;
Gathered home to a brighter shore,
Never to sorrow more.”
Dr. A. T. Sears and lady visited rela

their home near Senoia on Sabbath

Some of our wheat raisers are sow
ing Tennessee wheat, thinking that the
wheat raised here is unfit for seed. As
the speculators have gotten up a cor
ner m wheat it would be well for the
farmers to resume the cultivation of
this crop on a more extensive scale, and
thus save themselves from the clutches
of the speculators.

The Fair at Opelika, Ala.
The second annual fair of the Hair
Association of East Alabama will open
on Monday next, 29th inst., aud contin
ue one week, closing November 3d.
From all the information we can get
this will be one of the most successful
and attractive fairs ever held in East
Alabama, if not the best in the State.
The exhibits will be extensive and va
ried. The live stock show last year at
this place was said to be the best in the
State, and will be better this year. The
running, trotting and pacing races
f which are admitted to be the most at
tractive features) will be excellent.
Many of the finest racers in the coun
try have been entered, and there will
he fine racing each day.
The railroads have given such cheap
rates that thousands of people will be
induced to attend. The passage from
Newnan to Opelika and return, includ
ing the price of admission to fair;
grounds, is only $2.4S, and this low rate ;
will no doubt induce many people from j

We want to give you a few pointers
in regard to prices, goods, etc., at the
TEN CENT STORE, which, when you
look over and consider, you will find
to not only be of interest to you,
but more interesting to your pocket-
book, in saving a snug little bit of from
25 to 100 per cent, on all goods bought of
us. You will please give us a trial, and
if we don't sustain our statement we
will tiing up the business to some one
who can ; for our goocis are bought so
they can be sold at least 33 per cent,
cheaper than the regular dealer can
sell them.
For instance, a good heavy shirt for
50c; really worth 75c., and sold every
where for 75c and $1.00. This is no
catch. When you buy one of them
you will buy another. Now is your
chance to buy, as no more can be had
after the present lot has been sold.
Again, we sell more matches than
anybody else in town. Why? Because
no one else will sell you 3,600 matches
for 28c. Don’t go to other dealers for
them, as they don’t sell them that
way, but come right to the Ten Cent
Store and get your matches.
Two spools of thread for 5c.
We still sell the big cake of flue
Toilet Soap for 5c.; sold everywhere
for 10c.
A good saw-file, a pocket level, a
monkey-wrench, a good slioe-brusli, a
first rate hair-brush, a six-quart milk
pan, heavy tube cake pan, thermome
ter, good zinc oilers for machines and
machinery, a pair of fast black ladies’
hose, 4 papers pins, box swan down
whiting, tape line five feet long, seven-
hat rack, large wire sieve, large
scissors, ladies’ belt, box of note
paper and envelopes, one quire good
foolscap paper, one dozen good cedar
pencils, a fine tooth-brush, pair of spec
tacles, different kinds of pocket-knives,
a pair of good spring ballances, one or
two dozen safety pins, 24 lamp wicks,
and hundreds of other goods for TEN
CENTS.
We can save you money on a lOe
towel. Try us.
We keep a large stock of glassware-
always on hand, consisting of butter
dishes, sugars, creams, pickles, syrups,
jelly dishes, open and covered pitchers,
cake-stands, mugs, wine glasses, pepper
and salt boxes, tumblers, goblets, lamp
chimneys, lamps, water sets, and hun
dreds of other articles in glass nappies
that we haven’t room to mention. A
big lot of white crock English goods,
which are sold as cheap as the cheap
yellow ware known as C C.
We also have the biggest, best, pur
est plug of tobacco for 10c in the State.
Want you to try this.
Call and see us and you will find that
the only mistake that we have made is
in not advertising half what we have.
