The Newnan News Issued Every Friday. J. T. FAIN, Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION RATE, $1.00 PER YEAR. OFFICIAL PAPER OF COWETA COUNTY. ’Phono No, 20. OFFICE UP STAIRS IN THE WILCOXON BLOG NEWNAN BRANCH 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. Hides Wanted—Will pay best price for greon hides for next tow weeks. G. O. Garniiehnol, Newnnn, Ga. Lemons as Medicine Their Wonderful Effect on the Liver, Stomach, ± Bowels, Kidneys and Blood.
