The Stat^road must either be sold or
leased. It would become a very dan

Upon such a vital question as main
taining the Railroa-l Commission there
is no divisiou in Georgia. As to what

With regard to the charge of “slan

Atlanta Constitution.
The local optiou law, or the prohibi
tion law, as it is more generally called,
prohibits the sale of all intoxicating
liquors except two. The exceptions
are pure alcohol for medical and scien
tific purposes, and domestic wines.
The latter cannot be sold in bar-rooms
by the drink. It will thus be seen that
after the 1st of July in Atlanta, it will
Ims impossible to purchase legally any
liquor that will intoxicate, except
domestic Avine. Domestic wine is not
popular beverage, and it is not prob
able that -it will become so even while
the prohibition law is in force.
Those who have been in the habit of
patronizing the bar-rooms are not
pleaded with the dry prospect which
confronts them. Some are already con
sidering schemes for evading the pro
hibition law, and stoutly maintain that
they will be able to do so*witli ease.
Tiie schemes discussed are numerous,
and some tof them are ingenious. A
noticablc feature connectea with these
schemes is that they arfe all new. No
body has yet suggested the old dodge
of payiug fifteen cents for a lump ot
sugar and having thrown in a drink of
whiskey. Neither has anybody sug
gested the soda water fountain dodge.
“Blind tigers” have been spoken of,
but it is conceded that they will be
short lived. The better class of bar
keepers declare that they will make ho
attempt to evade the law’, and that they
have no sympathy with those w’hotalk
of running “blind tigers.”
ONE OF THE SCHEMES.
A well-known barkeeper said yes
terday : “1 don’t think that there are
a dozen barkeepers imAtlauta that will
attempt to evade the law. There will
be such attempt, but they will be made
by men who are noteugaged in selling
liquor. For instance, a man told me
to-day that he had a scheme which lie
intended to work, and that it was one
which the law could not break tip.
He said he was going to open an um
brella store. *1 am not going to sell
umbrellas,* h& explained, ‘I’m going
to rent ’em. I’m going to have ’em
made with big hollow handles of diff
erent sizes. Some of the handles will
hold a pint and some a quart of whis
ky, aud they’ll be made so they can be
unscrewed from the stick. I’ll rent a
pint for 75 cents and a quart size for
$2. What’s the law got to do with
what I put in the handle of umbrellas
I rent‘c” I asked the man how long he
would allow an umbrella to be retain
ed by the renter. ‘Oh,* he said, ‘I’ll
rent my umbrellas by the hour. Peo
ple that want ’em can rerent ’em every
hour, if they want to do so. I’ve gota
fortune in the business" and don?t you
forget it.” 1
A Constitution reporter, who heard
the description of tiie umbrella scheme,
mentioned it to a prominent judge of
the superior court who frequently visits
Atlanta.
A CHAIN GANG CASE.
“The scheme is a shrewd one,” he
said, “but it will not work long. It is
a plain violation of the law, because
the intent is to sell whisky, and that is
in reality, what is done. If the man
who proposes to run the scheme should
have to stand a trial before me, 1
would dispose of him thus: If the
evidence showed that any person had
rented an umbrella from him knowing
that the handle contained whisky, 1
would instruct the jury that their ver
dict should be guilty. It would be
strictly a righteous verdict, and when
the schemer was pronounced guilty, I
would sentence him to undergo the ex
treme penalty of the law. I would so
sentence him not simply because he
bad-violated the prohibition law, butf
upon general principles. Any man
who resorts,.to a trick to violate any
law should be 'punished as severely as
possible. 1 would send such a man
to the chaiu gang, and, if the law al
lowed, make him, pav a fiue besides.”
The reporter outlined another
scheme to the judge.
“Certain parties,” he said, “propose
to send liquor to Atlanta from Chatta
nooga by express, C. O. D. Can the
law interfere in such a case.”
“Certainly,” the judge replied. “If
the agent of tiie express company de
livers the liquor and collects the
charges, he becomes the agent of the
man who shipped it, anti as such he
violates the law; and can properly be
punished. A similar case occurred in
Putnam county, and the express agent
was held accountable.”
ANOTHER SCHEME. ,
While eugaged^in making inquiries
concerning schemes to evade the law,
the reporter met a man at the Kimball
House who claimed that he.; had one
that woiiId work like a charm.
* $1 have iii my employ,” he said, “a
negro man who is very smart. When
the prohibition law goes into effect, I
propose to form clubs of uieu who wish
to be supplied daily with a moderate
quantity of liquor. I will collect the
money from the members of the clubs,
give it to the negro, scud him to Chat
tanooga and have him to purchase the
liquor aud then return the same day
and deliver it.”
Unfortunately for, this scheme, it
will not work. Some time ago, the
Constitution contained an account of
the trial of a man in the United States
court at Maconr wiio had tried
sciieme exactly similar. He Ihred at
Cuthbert, aud furnished customers
just as described by tiie man met by
•he reporter a; tiie Kimball House. He
was found guilty of a violation of tiie
internal revenue laws, and was puu-
islied by fine and imprisonment.
One of the best lawyers in Atlanta
holds that there is no scheme by W’hicb
tiie prohibition law* can be successfully
evaded. He saiu to tiie reporter yester
day: ,
“It is useless to kick against the
law. No scheme to evade it will be
What la Said Abontlt la Savannah

ent Directors.
The Newts and Advertiser pqbr
lished yesterday a startling rumor that
seems to^ have started in Augusta to
the effect that the Standard Oil Com
pany was about to gobble up a con
trolling interest In the Central Rail
road and ran in a new President and
board of directors. The same rumor
reached-Savannah, the headquarters
and strong-hold of the Central system,
and the Savannah News, after investi
gating it, publishes the following:
The rumor that the Standard Oil
Company is trying to get control of the
Central railroad caused some stir in
commercial circles yesterday. The
general belief is that there is nothing
iu the report. It was telegraphed to
the Morning News from Augusta,
where it created considerable excite
ment. The officials of the road dis
claim all knowledge of any such move.
A News reporter talked with half a
dozen brokers abont the matter. Maj.
A. L. Hartridge said that he did not
believe that there was any truth at all
in the reiiort. In the first place, said
I,. t# .Ikn 4 VII
SOME “COLD FACTS,”
buy a controlling
Central they would not let it be
known. The scheme would be di
vulged to some broker in whom the
syndicate had confidence and the pur
chase would be transacted through
him. The Standard Oil Company is
an extremely wealthy corporation and
has money enough to £uy the Central
if the stack was on the market, hut it
is not probable that the Oil Company
wants to invest its. money in Central
stock.
The Central is only a 4 percent,
stock, added Major Hartridge by way
of explanation, and if the present man
agers, who are shrewd' aud able rail
road men, cannot make it pay more, it
is not likely that a set of new owners
and new managers could do better.
Before the stockholders can receive a
cent In dividends, the Central and the
Ocean Steamship Company have to pay
over $1,750,000 fixed charges. At 70
Central is not a poor investment, but
if it becomes known that the Staudard
Oil Company was buying up the Cen
tral tiie stock would instantly have a
boom.
A controlling influence is 37,500
shares. Mrs. Green, of New' York,
owns the biggest single block of stock,
something over 6,000 shares. The pres
ent board of directors own and control
more than half of the stock, and if
there was any movement on foot to
oust them they would see that at “cast
one-ha .f the stock w as tied up so that
the speculators could not accomplish
their purpose.
Mitj-ir Hartridge attached more Im
portance to the rumor that the Stand
ard Company is putting up money to
build the 'Savannah, Dublin and
Western Short Line road.
Captain Henry Bluu declared that
the report is absurd, manifestly so on
its faee. Nothing could be more ridic
ulous. If the Standard Oil Company
really coveted the Central, tiie public,
would not find it out until the Stand
ard had gobbled up all it could get.
-The s ateinent that the Standard wants
the Central is undoubtedly pure fiction.
Captain Biun did not think that the
Standard people are yeamiug for a
4 per cent, stock even to boom and sell
out.

News and Advertiser:
Following the advice given to the
correspondents on each side in tiie
present gubernatorial campaign I have
decided to give you some “cold Diets”
concerning the Congressional nomina
tion now pending. Outin this part of
the county we are almost a unit for
keeping Capt. Turner in Ms seat, for
the following reasons: He has ex
pressed a desire to stay; we need an
experienced man; he Has the confi
dence of his colleagues without regard
to party lines; the administration
needs his services, and lastly, without
disparaging the talent of any one of
the gentlemen opposing him, he is the
best man In the district for the posi
tion, by reason of his experience, and
because be is the peer in ability of any
of his opponents. Your correspondent
from Baker wants a man who will
cure more appropriations for Fliut
river, but if he will examine closely be
will find that the largest, appropria
tions are generally secured by men
who have served longest. I cm aw are
that Judge Jones, of the county court,
aspired to represent the district, and
were Turner to retire he would secure
the entire vote of this part of the coun
ty, for we are proud of him, both as a
man, and in his judicial capacity, and
are willing to accord him every honor
we can give, except Capt. Turner’s
seat. Why not let Judge Jones wait
awhile and present as Dougherty’s
choice to the Gubernatorial convention
Capt. J. A. Davis. He is equal in
ability to either ol the candidates now
in the race, and could do what neither
of them can—unite the party.
Yours, . West Dougherty.

All exchange in Southwest Georgia
has become alarmed at the tone aud
tactics of Gen. Gordon’s campaign for
Governor, and declares that his
speeches are more like a call to arms
than an appeal to the ballot box.
This conviction has been growing
iu the minds of the people wherever
they have stopped for one moment In
tiie heat of the campaign to consider
the drift in political matters in the
State. It is au alarming symptom and
unless such methods are rebuked by
the people at the primary elections or
in their massjmeetfngs, the Democratic
party in this State will be in serious
danger. There will be no party, for
Democracy means the rfile of the peo
ple, and when the rule of the people Is
threatened and thwarted there can he
no healthy Democracy. The right of
the people quietly to assemble for their
common good and make selection of
men and methods in their own untram
melled -way is sacred to tiie existence
of the party or to the maintenance of
popular liberty v He who violates.this
right is a common enemy andhew'ho
submits to this wrong is a public slave.
The candidate who rides into a county
w’here the people are assembling in
meeting to declare theii will is no bet
ter ami no worse than the Governor
who sulks iuto a Legislative hall with
a view of enforcing the passage of a
bill or stop the making of a law. The
charter of such infractions by the per
mission of their use will be followed
up by other and graver wrongs. When
once tiie people are lax iu public dis
cipline and decu rum they jeopardize
public order and public liberty? Who
knows where this thing will stop? The
State to-day sees public men lose sight
of cardinal proprieties in their fight
for public office. This Is bad enoi „
but worse than this is to behold the
public conscience so dulled or public
courage so dead that the people should
submit to such proceedings. How long
would our fathers have permitted these
things to continue? How many dele
gates would that candidate have car
ried who rushed into the counties on
the day of election and made appeals
to the people almost In sovereign
sion? Whatever may have been the
record of the candidate, this would
have raised a scandal which the State
would have been swift to punish.
When people close their eyes to such
improprieties they will soon have to
steal their souls to deeper Inflictions.
Once the bright sensitiveness of the
State Is lost the character of the State
is in danger of defilement.
Gen. Gordou^s record has fitted him
for au aggressive campaign. He is
bold and courageous; he is magnetic
and impulsive—but has Gen. Gordon
himself, have his friends, have the
people stopped to consider bow far be
has gone in this campaign? He has
g aimed sorties upon the counties of
i ‘ ~~
aralson, Screven," McDnffiie and
Ware as be planned his charge In bat
tle. He has actually rushed upon the
people In Buchanan and In Way cross
as he would ride into hostile camps,
stunning them into acquiescence, on
the very day ot their mass meetings.
With bis “headquarters in the saddle,”
he has brought the tactics of war into
the foruin of a peaceful people, con
cealing from them and from himself,
perhaps, the tme nature of those meth
ods by the plausibility of his appeals.
We cannot belive that General Gorgon
has considered, or that the people have
considered all that these tactics imply
—all that their Imitation may effect.
This Napoleonic campaign is not
Republican in its nature in edifying in
its conduct. The presence of troops at
the polls was not more menacing-to
civil liberty, than the use of such
standards in a Democratic cam]
for one is openly and w _
outrage; the other is ingenious,
be even popular in its employment, ti
he distraction
is the entering wedge to the t
of voters, the disruption of Democracy
and may lead in other times to the
enslavement of the people.

upon Gen. Gordon to stop this sort of
campaigning; we call upon the people

We cannot cure baldness, as a bald
bead is beyond help, but if those who
have hair and desire to retain it will
follow onr advice they need never
show a clearing on top of their heads.
The cause of baldness is the habit men
have of pulling shirts and night shirts
over their heads. There are some who
will laugh at this idea, but it is not in
tended that they should, as this is not
a fanny article. This is business.
The palling of a shirt over the head
causes a friction of the scalp, which in
time sears the roots of the hair and
leaves a barren plain,a Sahara forever
after. Suppose the shirt comes to a
man’s feet, there is from five to six feet
of tail to be drawn over the tender
hair, which, kept up for a series of
years, would wear out any head of
b$ir. Add to this the friction from
taking off the shirt, and the natural
scratching of the head for ideas, etc.,
and tiie hair has no rest, and the won
der is that there is a man left who has
a spear of hair on his head. Now the
preventive is for men to walk ont of
their nightshirts the front, way,
Women are never bald, and some sneer
ing men account for the fact by claim
ing that women do not have brains
enough to become bald. That is a
campaign lie. Women have more
brains and a better quality than any
bald-headed man on earth. But they
do not wear their hair off by pulling
their garments over the head. They
open the storm door of their garments,
and walk out Into the light of day, and
not disturb a hair. This we state upon
information and belief, and if we are
wrong we can easily be corrected. It
is alleged that they get ont of their dry
goods different from men, and thereby
make a great saving in hair. Taking
all the tacts,-there is ooly one sensible
way for men who desire to retain their
hair, and that is to break off the des
tructive £abit of pulling their.garments
off over their heads. They may have
to be instructed in the best manner of
getting out of a nightshirt without
the head for a pivot, but that
can be arranged. Let societies be
formed—classes, If yon please—and se
cure a teacher to IHustrate how to take
off the night shirt the front way. If
our discovery is acted upon baldhead
ed men will be ankuown in the next
generation.
That Resignation,
Dr. C. H. Colding, of Savannah, a
former resident of Hawkinsville, has
written a letter to the Hawkinsville
Dispatch, from which we take the fol

1 remember well the first time I met
young Bacon. It was in Hawkinsville
in 1863 or 1864. He had be^h, by the
advice of the surgeon who had charge
of him in Virginia, told to .come fur
ther South, if it were possible, as bis
life depended upon the move. He

As no successor to Mr. Pulitzer, of
New York has yet been elected, the
House Is at present composed* of 324
voting members. With the 297 cast,
and the twenty-six members who were
paired ,thirteeu for and thirteen against
the motion, every available vote was
thus brought into action with the soli
tary exception of Mr. Frederick’s.
Mr. Fredrick is an Iowa Democrat, and
was not present yesterday. Five Re
publicans voted with Mr. Morrison and
thirty-five Democrats voted against
him. The five Republicans were
White, Strait, Wakefield, Nelson,
of Minnesota, and James, of New
York.
“The Democratic party is pledged to
reform,” said Mr. Morrisou to a Post
reporter yesterday, when asked why
he had pressed his motion when be
knew he would be defeated. ‘‘It is
the main plank of the Chicago plat
form of 18S4. The Democratic major
ity iu the House will violate the pledges
of the party platform if tiie. do not
attempt to reform the tarift. It is my
duty to put a measure before tbe
House ai d give the party a change to
redeem its pledges. A bill to reform
the tariff aud reduce taxation is the one
bill above all others that toe Chicago
platform calls for. The fact is the bill
would have been called up in the
House months ago only that we were
waiting for the chances of its passage
to improve. We have held it back with
this in view as long as we could hold
it. We were hound to give the House
au opportunity to legislate on the
subject, and we have done it, lose or
win, other opportunities will be given
to the House; the motion will be re
peated again and again. Let others do
as they please; for my own part 1 pro
pose to do my duty to the Democratic
party.”
In some quarters it is thought to be
possible that the attitude of some.of the
thirty-five recalcitrant Democrats May
be changed by tiie pressure of consti
tuents, DUt generally it is believed
Chat the members having now com
mitted themselves they will choose to
stand by the record they have made.
RELIGIOUS STATESMEN.
Legislators Who Figaro Exten
sively In Church Matters.
A Washington letter to the Philadel
phia Times says: “As far as appear
ances go the most religious men in
either branch of Congress are the two
Senators from Georgia. Mr. Colquitt
figures in every temperance meeting
that is held hereabouts, adresses church
conventions much oftener than his
fellow Senators, aud is one of the pil
lars of the Youpg Men’s Christian As
sociation. Within the las%month he
lias spoken before the Young Men's
Christian Association in Twenty-third
street and in Bowery, New York; at
Philadelphia, Atlanta, Baltimore and
Richmoud. He is a regular attendant
at the Foundry ' Church in this city.
Every Sunday morning and evening
bis tail figure can be seen in the front
seat, with his handsome wife beside
him, leading the singing and uttering
tbe most fervent aniens. At his home
in Atlanta he is a deacon, and often
speaks lrom tiie church platform. Of
late he has been frequently dropping
Into the little missions scattered over
Washington. A few nights ago he led
tbe prayer meeting at the “Central
Mission,” in the. lower part of the
avenue, and gave his “Gesthnonv” with
the humblest present. He, is often
seen, too, at the missions in South
Washington, where the most hard
ened sinners are supposed to congre
gate.
His colleague, while not so much of
a missionary, exhibits a great deal of
piety on occasions. He is a regular
delegate to all the Baptist conven
tions, and does a considerable amount
of lay preaching. Most of the Baptist
papers in the United States have printed
contributions of his over the initals
J. E. B.” In tbe Baptist Conven
tion held some time ago in this city be
proved bis piety to be of a substantial
order by strongly advocating tbe
establishment of a fund for the purpose
of raising all . ministers’ salaries to
$1,000 a year, aiid by offering to start
the fond with a $1,000 check. The
Senator makes a far better ‘appearance
talking to a religions body than when
addressing the Senate. He is a ven
erable old man with a long Santa Claus
beard, and recalls the portraits of
in the days of John Wesley.
He can pray as few., men can. His
fervency is illustrated by a frequent
raising of .tbe eyes to heaven, extended
always in the fight or on the inarch
led his men, and when in camp never
torgot even their slightest wants, and
to whom they are even this day most
ardently attached for his gentleness,
bis thougbtiui regard for them and liis
and lofty courage, that
man says: “Itfills my soul with hot
indignation when I hear tbe vile, slan
derous assertions of the friends of Gen.
Gordon that Gus Bacon showed the
white-feather during the war; and 1
feel a loathing pity for the poor
wretch who would seek to elevate his
preference by a foul lie upon a brave
and ttrue man. The armies of the
SoUtM* had., uot a braver, a. truer, a
gamer soldier than the stripling who
held the adjutancy of our gallant old
Ninth Georgia; and it is a shame, a
pitiable shame, that because our boy
comrade did not w ear stars or did not
answer to the address of General, that
he should now be branded as a coward.
Company A has not forgot its beard
less adjutant, and it Is a cruel false
hood to publish as even a supposition
that the old Ninth docs not love Gus
Bacon and will not vote for him. His
release from the regiment was as hon
orable as the truest bravery could have
asked. He was sent home to die, aud
the very fact that he accepted and
worked iu the department at home is
indisputable prtiof of his loyalty to the
South. If he had desired, or if he had
not sought the place he held, nor have
done a thing, under tbe circumstances
he could have stayed at home, for he
was physically unable to perform any
service, aud the brave soldiers of the
Ninth fully approve and indorse every
thing that their adjutant did. I say,
and the men ot my company say,
that Adjutant 'Bacon ought to have re
signed, aud they have not a word of
censure for him. I have seen Gus
Bacon when danger was in every
breeze and death stalked everywhere,
ami there is not a drop of coward blood
in his veins. He served the Ninth
Georgia just as he has filled every po
sition of trust aud honor to which he
has been called. He’is, and has been
as true a man as has ever lived, and
never bUuiyed, deserted or prosti
tuted the positions he filled. I am
without reservation . for my old adju
tant, and -o are the soldiers who an
swered tiie roll call of Company A,
Ninth Georgia Volunteers, Army of
Northern Virginia.” * •
What a'contrast there is in the testi
mony of this noble old Confederate*
Captain—a man who led to the war
Wilkes county’s first company, com
posing the flower of .her manhood,
and in that of the man who in tfafe last
of the war was Lee’s “right arm. 7 ’
Every one who has read Gen. Gordon’s
Valdosta speech is amazed.at the per
version of facts in regard to Bacon’s
war record. Npthing better is‘ ex
pected of the Atlanta papers, but who
would have thought Gen. Gordon
would so mislead a large audience?
Gen. Gordon .in his Valdosta speech
OYER THE STATE.
“I want to ask you a question.
Which would you take for exemplars
for your sons as a man of grand char
acter, the old Ninth Georgia man, who
didn’t resign, the. sore-foot hungry,
lame man who stayed there and let. his
bdnes bleucMon the battlefields of Ms
country rather thaiT'desert his banner

is the graiid^t man, theNith Georgia,
who left his leg or arm and his blood
upon tbe battlefield Qf Virginia, or tbe
adjutant of the Ninth regiment who
retired at tiie first fire ? [ Laughter.]
Which is the grander man?”
Gen. Gordon Is well acquainted with
ail the facts touching Bacon’s ill
health which required his transfer to
other duty. And yet—and yet—!

Mr. Bob Harris, of this county, who
on many a hard fought battle-field
proved his devotion to the cause of the
South, was a member of the famous
Irvin Artillery from. this place, and
was noted as one of the mpst accurate
shots with a cannon in the array of
Northern Virginia. Among the or
dnance of this company was a splendid
new Whitworth gim which had done
a little service'with its muzzle pointing

McClellan’s troops or the ex: ra prowess
of Lee’s army, this gun had “about

Irvin Artillery.
At the time McClellan was so close
ly pressei^and so nearly hemmed in by
l^ee, he was contemplating escaping in
a balloon in the event his army was
captured. Then there was consider
able experimenting with balloons
in the Yankee lines, and the best

Washington Critic.
It is probably not generally known
that a very interesting-relic of the war
times is owned in this place. It is the
camp chest, of President Jefferson
Davis, which lie used while visiting
the armies of the South. It is solid
maghogauy, and as welt made as
skilled w orkmanship could make it. Is
three feet long, two feet deep and one
foot wide, by actual measurement; a
leaf hangs down each side, and when
raised makes a table three feet square,
the lid forming the centre leaf. The
interior of the chest is in two com
partments, one large and open, the
other filled wi.h cases of different
depths that slide down and rest on each
othqr« Some of these were made for
holding writing materials, while others
were made lor holding salt, pepper
and other condiments for cable use.
The lamented Mr. Root. Toombs
recognized this chest a few* years ago,
and remarked that he had ealeu
from it in the camps near Rich
mond.
At the evacnation of the Confederate
capitol, Mr. Davis found he could
not carry tiie chest with him, aud so
requested Col. J. Taylor Wood to pre
sent it to 31ajor John B. Weems. The
latter now deceased, was the father of
Mrs* Belle Virgiu. of this place, who
now owus this very interesting relic.
Mrs. Virgiu lived iu Macou uutil a
few years ago, when she moved to this
place. While living there she was
first offered a thousand dollars for tiie
chest by a Northern mau, who finally
ran his bid up as high as three thous
and dollars, when this lady, whose
heart has always burned with that deep
sense ol patriotism for which ournoble
Southern women w ere so noted, frank
ly told him that she w'ould uot sell
this relic at any price to a man who
had been an enemy to the South.
The chest was brought ou to \\ asb-
ingtou at the close or the war at the
same time Davis came through an-i

alter ward carried it to Macon when
she moved from here there. It has
been in her father’s and her posses

him.
