INTOXICATING DRINKS. Written For The Home Journal. I see and hear that people are trying to vote whiskey out of Georgia. What a blessing that would be to those who live there- It is now circulated that Du- Written For The Borne Journal. m pont G-uerry will be the next Gov ernor of Georgia, because he is a prohibitionist. How many who reflect back to the trouble this one thing has caused from the beginning of its use, to the present time, could go and cast your vote in a way not to dispense wtih it? May God influ ence the voting people to cast their votes in a way that they can have a clear conscience toward God that they did not aid the suf fering .of humanity. If we could look in all the homes that this Demon has entered, how our hearts would feel torn and bleeding for them. Who? not so much for the one than is drinking, no, but for his family, his mother and sisters, or his wife and chil dren, they are the ones that are suffering. Probably suffering for" bread to sustain life, they are de prived of the love and devotion of a husband or father. I guess you all read of the wo man that went in a store in Atlan ta, to buy her eleven; year old daughter a pair of shoes,and when asked what number'she. wore, re plied, “I do not know, she never had a pair before.” Why was it she never had any before? because her father was a slave to whiskey, and what he made was spent in satisfying his thirst for that which destroys the happiness of so many homes. Oh! the misery it causes. What will this country be in a few years if there is not a _stop put to the excessive drinking of intoxicating Liquors. The young man of to-day* can’t spend a few hours of enjoyment at a social entertainment without a bottle hid in his buggy to drink at intervals. Whiskey is a good thing in its place, a-bad thing out of its place, and it stays out of its place so much. If it was voted out of Georgia, it then would not be out of reach, but it would be harder to get, and probably it would eventually die out. Sam Jones gives the much need ed advice, for he was once a slave to drinking, and knows the sor row it will bring. He says,“Young men, beware of the wine glass, for you know not what it contains.” When that Demon once enters a home it is ruined, it is deprived of happiness and the luxuries it once posessed. I hope there will be a change in the near future for the benefit of the rising generation. Old Coox, Tharp’s Mill To The Public. Allow me to say a few words in praise of Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy.

Europe are recognizing and admitting more fully every year that they may learn much of this nation. “Time’s last offspring and its best.” The Journal referred recently to the visit of a number of rail road magnates who were traveling in the United States with the avowed purpose of studying our railroad systems and their man agement, and who declared they had learned already much that would be profitable to them. , A still more striking concession to the progressive spirit of this country comes from the French government, which is planning to establish in the United States a college in which young men from France may study American bus iness methods. The originator and the most enthusiastic advocate of this enter prise is M. Bouquet, technical head of technical instruction in the French misistry of commerce. He says: “America now leads the van in industrial progress. She is far ahead of England, Ger many and ourselves in organiza tion and methods of work. Hith erto we have been sending, num bers of engineering students to Germany, England and Bel gium.” . M. Bouquet has become con vinced that the United States now offers a better field for the ’ tech nical instruction of French youth than England or Belgium,because here they “will be able to study, under competent guidance, that audacity, inventive genius and the marvelous organization which have lifted the industrial world of America above all its European rivals,” and thus our country is becoming more and mo re the center of the world’s practical thought and industry. North Carolina may go into the China matting manufacturing business before]a great while. It is stated that the Matting reed — the reed out of which floor mat ting is made—has been found growing in large quanities in the marshes of the Neuse and Trent rivers about New Berne. The reed is identical with that of China, the stalks being from one-six teenth to one-eight of an inch in diameter and three to seven feet long. It is said to bo a hardy plant and a rapid grower. The importation of matting from Chi na has been as high as 800,000,- 000 pounds in a year. The Balti more News says the manufacture of matting is simple and compar atively inexpensive, very little skilled labor being necessary.
