CfFICE UPSTAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLOG Another Georgia newspaper has "gone right” on the liquor ques tion, and hereafter no liquor adver tising will appear in the West I’oint News. Your hand, Trox! Shake! (inly a few more flays to registci (or the county primary. The reg istration books close April 21st. I.very white voter in the county should register and vote in the primary on April 23th. If yon view political questions from the Macon Telegraph’s stand point, you area good Democrat. If you don't, you ate a parly cue my and the Telegraph will erase your name from it> party roster. In the Putnam county primary, held last week, the successful can didates for representative, ordi nary, clerk and tax collector are gentlemen named Reid. Office holding in Putnam county seems to be a family affair. If Tom Watson had declared himself favorable to the candidacy of Clark Howell instead of the candidacy of Hoke .Smith, what would have been the attitude of Mr. Howell and his friends with reference to Mr. Watson and the Populists? The Macon Telegraph has made a startling discovery. It has found that \\ illiam .1. Bryan is conserva tive. I here are yet grounds for expecting the Telegraph to finally conclude that some of the Hoke Hmitli men in Htsirgia are not one mies of the Democratic party. \\ Wright, Ksq., of Newnan, has accepted an invitation to dc liver an address in Fayetteville on Memorial Day, April 26th. Col. Wiight is .111 eloquent and force-! I ul speaker. The people of Fay etteville have made an admirable selection of a Memorial Day orator The plan proposed by the C.rif- lin News and Sun 1 previously ap proved by several "high minded statesmen” 1 for settling the gu bernatorial candidate controversy will doubtless meet with the hearty •pproval of gang politicians. It proposes to call off the primary and allow the State Fxecutive Committee to nominate a candi date tor governor. Charlotte, North Carolina, is the first large city in the South to give prohibition a lair test, and her citi zens are delighted with the results. Charlotte is growing and develop ing tn «re rapidly than at any pre vious period of her history, despite the predictions of advocates ol open saloons who prophesied that prohibition would kill Charlotte industrially and commercially printed in his newspaper in the fu ture, although to refuse this class of advertising means a loss of *500 per annum to the News. Interesting; Criminal Stat istics. legislative candidates express them- - v ' * v >' « !v ' h< * ' gr*w> selves. In a recent conversation with Sherifl J. L. Brown. a represents live of the News gleaned some in teresting faets in regard to the criminal statistics and records of Cow eta county. Tln*se statistic' seem to indicate that crime ha* steadily increased in the county during the past quarter of a ecu tiny. The growth of crime may or may not have kept pais* with the increase of population. The News lias not attempted to risluee thi* phase of the matter to figures; Imt it will furnish the opjiortnnity for research to some citizen who desires to deal with the criminal statistic*, of < 'oweta county. The jail records of the county show that during the twelve yearn in which Col. George li. f-armieal served its sherilf, 660 persons were incarcerated in the Coweta county jail. During the eleven years Sherilf Brown has lx*en in office, 2,000 persons have lss*n jailed in this county. Forty seven murders ha\c l**en committed in the county since HherifT Hrown went into office. Fifteen of these murderer- were arrested in the county by the Sheriff and five of them w en* lo rated by him and caught in other States—thris* in Alabama, one in l/ouisiana and one in Mississippi. Eighteen murderers have Ux*n at rested by other officers of the coun ty, and nine eseajssl and are still at large. A large majority of the murder ers, as w ell as other criminals,have Im‘i*ii negroes. The proportion of negroes and whites, among the ‘J.oiMi criminals arrested in eleven years, in relation to tin* ratio of population of the two races, fur nishes another important feature lor study and for the calculations ol statisticians.

Figures given out by the dis- pensary commissioners of Terrell county show that the sales of liquor increased under the dispen sary system in that county from *36.ii“i32 in the year 1898 to ■*117,016.79 in the year 1905. In other words, four times as much liquor is sold annually m Terrell county now as was -old eight years ago. rhis is a striking illustration of the dispensary as an agent of prohibition. West I’oint is satisfied with pro hibition and the West Point News, heretofore an anti-prohibitionist from principle and by practice, has reformed. Editor W. T. Bankston announces that six months on the water wagon has convinced him that prohibition is good tor the people of a town, individually and collectively; and he further states that no liquor advertising will be l*3ditor News:— N onr clipping, marked com- miinicatcd, from tin* Atlanta .lour mil and signed F.

If he knows me and does not know that his insinuations are groundless, impossible and false, he is gising evidence of lving ready for the Sanitarium at Mil led geville.

His friends should take charge of him. lest he hurt himself, for so long as his movements are confined to his mental alienations there is not much danger of him hurting other people. (J. A.
