For the reason t hat my brief
journalistic career has been so
pleasant, with the people of this
county and neighboring opes, I re¬
luctantly sever my connection with
The Irwin County News. In this
my valedictory, I desire to thank
the people for their liberal patron¬
age and thousands of other kind-
hessos'ehewn me during my con*
neclicn with The News, and
pledge you, that my successor and
former partner, Mr. M. L. Tinley,
Will appreciate a continuance of
the same; and I do not hesitate in
pommirnding him to you, as a
'straightforward business gent-le¬
mon. They that have been my
friends and have done so much in
the interest of the paper, have my
heartfelt appreciations, and I ac
cord to them that marked d*g re<-
of public spiritedness wiwiout
which no public institution can
survive. This dissolution does

REV. J. M. GLENN, ANSWERS
Mr. H. T. Fletcher’s
Article of 19, nil.
o
Fditor News :—I note in your
issue of June 19, an article from
IJon. H, T'l Fletcher in which he
seeks to defend bitnself against an
attack of “Prohibitionist.” He of¬
fers this as his first excuse for not
supporting the bill: “I did not
want to injure them (women and
childred) by bringing whiskey
back into thj county, which
i till would
i. *■*?%:
m help bring r.-
HPTthe Dispensary
aw W0 Now, as to the
first ri given, Mr. Fletcher
being an^bid citizen may know
something of the people ' of Irwin
county which I do not, that would
warrant the assertion ; it is certain
however, that there is nothing in
the bill to warrant the assertion,
that had it passed would have
brought whiskey back in the coun-.
ty. It is a display of profound ig*
noranqe on the part of the honora¬
ble gentleinan to charge the biil
with any such results. Its very
first section guards this point and
says : “Nothing in this act respect¬
ing the manufacture of liquor shall
effect any county in which the
same is prohibited by any existing
law. and nothing herein respecting
the sale or keeping'for sale of in¬
apply toxicating those liquors counties shall in effect which or
to
by local law or otherwise the sale
of such liquors are nrohit ited.”
But the gentleman would indulge
in the violent presumption that
the passage of the bill would pre¬
cipitate an election in our county
in which prohibition would be de¬
feated. The very same possibility
exist under the present law. By the
oited above, it will be clearly seen
that the bill, had it became a law
could have in no way effected our
county on the liquor question un¬
til the law by which we are now a
dry county had been repealed.
The only result possible then would
be, in case a majority of the free-
holders of the county favored
whiskey in their midst, the law
would eay, You can have it for me¬
dicinal and scientific purposes on¬
ly, and that must bo in one house,
only in the county, called a public
liquor store run by a man appoint¬
ed by the grand jury. This man is
a snl'ery and nc profits are
■^anffBO whiskey can be drank
■ second reason assigned
the bill, tliehun-
■entleman sacrifices his rep
an ioteligent citizen to
say nothing of his reputation as a
legislator. In the South Carolina
Dispensary law, public money do»
rived from taxation is used l'or the
purchase ot liquor, io Georgia, that
would he unconstitutional. Un¬
der (be South. Carolina law, intox*
ieating liquors are sold in dispens-
aria^eGtablished/by appointed the state and by
state constables,ape
th$ Governor i><v aid in enforcing
the’law; by ihiSfbili the enforce
meat of law is'left in the hands of
local county ,officials. By the South
Carolina law, liquors arc sold at a
profit and for; the sake of profit; by
the proposed measures no profits
are charged. Under the dispensa*
ry law, whiskey may be sold for
any purpose;'by the provisions of
the Anti-barroom bill it can be
sold for no other purpose than tne-
dicinal or scientific. In fact, this
is but another trick of the whiskey
people to defeat the measures,
whichof all others, if enacted, would
bless our state. It would close the
977 saloons in the state, stop the 45
government distileries, shut down
all the breweries, turn the tune mill¬
ion dollars wasted (yes mere than
wasted) annually in Georgia for in¬
toxicating liquors into legitimate
chanels of trade, bring sunshine in¬
to thousands of darkened homes,
and break the fetters which bind
thousands of our noble hearted men
stronger than death.
In favor of the bill stands the
Christian ministry of the state, its
churches, its temperence organize*
tions of every kind, its good women,
its greatest educators, and its pur*
est Statesmen. On the other side
stand, saloon keepers, liquor deal¬
ers of every kind, gamblers, thieves
and deluded or corrupted politi¬
cians. The very fact that whiskey
men of ali classes oppose the bill,
shows that they have seen enough
to know what it will do.
May the Lord deliver me from
falling into the hands of friendsf?)
who can not see that, they ore di¬
rectly in line with the enemy.

A VOTER REPLIES TO DR.
Wi L. Story's Letter of
Last Weak.
Editor Nk?ws:— This writer
wishes, through your columns, to
make some reference to an article
which appeared in the lest issue of
The News, signed by Dr. W. L,
Story.
The doctor urges Hon. Thos. R.
Yqung to make the race for Rep¬
resentative from this county to the
next General Assembly, From
reading the article, one would in-
ferjthat the doctor is thoroughly
conversant with the political situ¬
ation in this district. His conclu¬
sion seems to be, that the people
are naturally inclined towards Mr.
Young, and look to him as being
v. j .ry particularly qualified to fill
that position ; and that the people
would bo almost unanimous in
their support of Mr. Y rung. But
aflfor seeing and talking with many
of the voters of this uistrict, I say
that I know of no one, except Dr.
Sh|ry, who favors the candidacy of
Mr Y ol jng. But on the contrary,
I have heard many voters express
themselves as being in favor of
Hon. J. A. J. Henderson becoming
a candidate for the office above
mentioned, and I, therefore, be¬
lieve that Mr. Henderson would
prove far more acceptable to the
people than Mr. Young. If Mr.
Henderson should become a can¬
didate, he would, in mv opinion, be
elected ; and should he be elected,
I feel satisfied that he would fill
the office with honor to hi dim If,
and credit to his county ; and*to
Dr. Story and all others, who may
differ from me, I simply cite them
to his past record as a legislator.
Respectfully, ■ “Voter.”
