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.

Any amounts sent in to me will be forwarded to the jyroper parties. R. W. Freeman, Chairman. 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 10 Gent STORE. 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. Turin. If,-. Editor:— Your reporter was with ROCK BOTTOM PRICES!

Arnall had the misfortune to have one of his hands caught in the belting of his gin last week. The ends of two lingers were right badly hurt. Hon. William Whatley contemplates Cense fee at a figure that made the traf- moving to the vicinity of Fayetteville. 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. The Starr’s Mill people regret the Judge’s removal from their midst, he has been with t. em so long. 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 tives in this community and returned to their home near Senoia on Sabbath last. Mrs. Lorena Camp, of Moreland, vis ited relatives here a few days since. Mr. Jackson Lee, of Concord, was with us a few days last week. Mr. T. E. Shell raised fifty-six bush els of corn to the acre this year. 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. Remember the entertainment at the church Friday evening and the barbe cue that goes with it. R. A. T. Oct. 24th. 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 Heu? dbpertisements.
