W. C. T. 1. COLUMN.
Take special care that thou <le-
lighteth not in wine, for there was
never any man who came to honor
or preferment who loved it.—Sir
Walter Raleigh,
Governments should not for
revenue, mortgage the morals and
health of the people.—Lord Ches
terfield.
I cannot consent, as your ruler,
to take revenue from that which
destroys the bodies and souls of
my subjects,--Queen of Madagas
car,
Ciivc me a sober nation and I
will take care of the revenue.—
Gladstone.
How many young men I knew
in my school-days who went down
because of their fondness for in
toxicating drink!—John IT. Rocke
feller.
Let Us Be Free From the Rum
Curse.
One fond mother’s son is worth
more than all the gold coined in
all the saloons in tho world. Vet
men insist that for blood money
these infernal liquor nulls shall
grind up our precious children,and
break hearts and wreck our homes.
Now, the country cannot be
saved by the saloon or dispensaries,
any more than can a home nr an
individual. And he who would
lor gold or political preferment,
set up, or give his influence to
ward, the establishment of a dram
shop, is a menace to public good,
and a wrecker of human happiness.
Now, the Anti-Saloon League
stands for home, and so for the
State. There is nothing on earth
that can bring such shame and
sorrow and degradation to a jeo
pie, as the legalized liquor traffic.
Almost every murder springs
from the saloon, litre, indeed, it
gets its hot blood and its poison.
The gambler, the highway robber,
the house breaker, the bom b throw
er and all the world’s vile criminals
are all better equipped for their
infernal business on account of
the accursed dram shop.
We cannot dodge the issue; we
cannot compromise; we cannot
avoid the fight. The battle is on,
the war has begun, and, gentle
men, we must take sides. What
will the ministry do? Can we
confidently rely upon you men of
God? I pray you give us your
cordial grasp of the hand, put your
great hearts down by the side of
ours, and let us feel the warm,
sympathetic trob of a brother’s
love.
Let God’s foes oppose. 11 is
friends cannot afford to stand in
the way of the kingdom. Let the
ministers of Christ give out no un
certain sounds. They ought to
cry aloud and spare not. They
ought to unsheathe the sword and
strike for God, and home and na
tive land.
The women of Georgia arc on
their knees crying for help. Will
we disappoint them? Will we vote
for the hearthstone or the rum
throne, the boy or the bar? Let us
answer the calls ot these broken,
pleading, helpless womon.
Let us take the boys and girls
on our hearts and march to the
polls and vote "NO.” There is
much fine gubernatorial timber in
Georgia, and doubtless the six can
didates aspiring to the high and
honorable place of governor, are
all clean and capable, but before
high Heaven, today there is no
plank in the gentlemen’s platforms
so strong, so absolutely needed in
the moral uplift of this great com
monwealth of ours as the plank
which declares uncompromising,
unqualified, and eternal warfare to
the liquor curse in Georgia.
Is there not such a man before
the people? Is he not in the State?
Then for the sake of a clean,
economical government—for civic
righteousness and peace, let us
elect that man, and cover the State
with glory.
How about a dry legislature?
The churches can solve that prob
lem. And until Christian men
rise up and take a hand in the
political affairs of this republic, we
may expect to witness bloody
crimes, see the tears and rags of
orphans, hear the sobs and wails
of women, and live under an out
raged and debauched government.
We want to press the fight in
every county. We want to or
ganize from the mountains to the
seaboard. It is our hope and dream
now to send "dry” men to the leg
islature, but to enter into this hap
py realization the churches of
Georgia must authorize us, make
it possible for us to go before the
people.
One of our greatest needs just
now is men and money. Give us
these and with the smiles of our
loving Heavenly Father, we will
wrest this government from the
hands of the liquor dealer,—J. C.
Solomon, Supt. Ga. Anti-Saloon
League, in Atlanta Journal.
There is Only One Newnan.
"Queer mistakes are often run
across in the newspapers,” remark
ed Furlow Long, in a chat at the
Aragon. "For instance, outside
of Georgia nearly every newspa
per that prints an item dated from
Newnan, down here in Coweta
county, invariably prints it New
man, The news editors just jump
at the conclusion that the tele
graph operator has written an *m’
instead of the second 'n.’ They
have never heard of a Newnan, for
no other town in America is so
named, I understand.”—Atlanta
News.
