House of Representatives,
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 30,1902.
lo The Voters or Houston Count*:
As your representatives, Mr. Rich
ardson and I have been petitioned
some of the voters of the ninth
(9th) district to introduce a bill in
the General Assembly looking to the
establishment of a dispensary in our
county. We have likewise received
from other voters of the same dis
trict a petition urging us to oppose
any such legislation. It is evident
from these petitions that there is a
strong following on either side of
this question.
The dispensary problem is one
which greatly concerns and affeots
every citizen of our county, and as
there has been, up to this time, no
general demand for a change from
our present system, and not even
the expression of an opinion from
any other part of the county except
in the ninth district, I do not feel
called upon to introduce such a bill.
If both of the petitions sent into
us had been circulated throughout
the entire county, and bore propor
tionately the same strength, I still
would not feel called upon to intro
duce such a bill, for I am frank to
say, judging from the petitions
alone, I have grave doubts in my
own mind as to whether the voters
in the ninth district desire a dis
pensary established in their midst.
If there waB an o>erwhelming
sentiment on the part of the people
of my county demanding the estab
lishment of a dispensary, or any
other measure for that matter, I
would feel it my duty as their rep
resentative to regard their wishes,
but in this particular case, I know
of no such general clamor on the
part of my constituents, and 1
therefore feel free to act in this
matter in accordance with what J
deem to be for the best interests oi
our county.
After carefully considering this
question in all of its phases, I am
personally satisfied our county will;
be far better off without a dispen
sary. Honestly believing our pres
ent system to be for the best inter-*
ests of our. citizens, I shall therefore
feel it my duty to oppose vigorous-;
ly any legislation looking to the es
tablishment of a dispensary in ourl
county. Respectfully yours, *'

The T. fit. Club Meeting.
The Thursday Afternoon Club
met last with Mrs. Henry Norwood.
Our president called the meeting to
order very early, as much business
was to be transacted,
j At the previous meeting a com
mittee had been appointed to make
the final decision concerning the re
ception to be given by the club at
the Christmas-tide.
At the last meeting the final ar
rangements were made. Each mem
ber Assessed a oertian sum, the menu
decided upon, and the number of
guests to be allowed each member
was fixed.
Votes were taken on many points
and our dear little president was
kept busy ringing her bell and quell-
ling the tumult, (a pleasan one, how
ever),as no twenty-odd ladieB can be
in one room, in a merry, congenial
party, without a deal of talking go
ing on.
After the business was concluded,
Mrs. Norwood’s charming daughters
treated us to a most lovely salad
course.
Both Mrs, Norwood and her
daughters did all they could to make
the occasion pleasant, and we thank
them.
The next meeting will be Thurs
day, December 4th, at the home of
Mrs. R. L. Cater. G. E.

Conoerning one feature of Repub
lican disagreement, Jos. Ohl writes
to|the Constitution from Washington
City as follows: “While there can
not be said to be anything like a
clash between Senator Hanna and
President Roosevelt—for nothing of
the sort has developed as yet—it
can be asserted with perfect accura
cy that upon this question of the
tariff they represent the two views
held by the republicans. President
Roosevelt is in favor of agitation.,
Senator Hanna is in favor of letting
things stand as they are. As I have
said, the majority of the senate
leaders stand unquestionably with
Senator Hanna’s side of the contro
versy. They deprecate any tariff
agitation as tending to disrupt the
republican party to play into the
hands of the democratic enemy,
and to unsettle the present prosper
ity which they contend is due to
the existing tariff,”
