VOLUME THE WHISKY QUESTION. STANDING COMMITTEES I M direst Each Other Over in Dawson County. Lome Gainesville and Ellijay Uue officers had a queer eipe- [nee over in Dawson county a p days ago. A party of officers i m Gainesville, headed by Lon chardson, went to Dawson to (ke a raid. At the same time f eral officers from Pickens coun- w ent to the same place for the ne purpose. Both parties had Of the Council for 1901 Named by Mayor Mitchell. Editor Cracker ; "It seems that the whisky question is a very hard one to settle in the county of The prospect, it is said, for another committees of the council, as named by Mayor R. D. Mitchell, for the year 1901: Committee on police-—Martin, chairman; Landers and Parker. Committee on finance—Puckett, chairman; Martin and Parker.

By reference to the various court records this will be found v untrue/ Ask the wives and {children of those who could not pass the open bar, and they will testify to the truth of the assertion that there is a great abatement of the evil. The licensing of a bar or dispen sary m a town or county by the people makes the people account able, morally, for the crimes that may be committed by men when under the influence of the liquor sold at these licensed places. Where crimes are committed by men under the influence of blind tiger liquor, the guilt lies on the individual immediately nected with it. It is to be hoped the time shall never come when the people of Hall county will be willing to take on their heads the sacrificial blood of the open bar. No more do the good people of Hall county and Gainesville wish to hear the widow’s wail and or phan’s cry because of the open bar!- f; ' No more do the people desire to hear the oaths and have knowledge of the cruel treatment .accorded defenseless women and children, and, that sanctioned by their votes! No more do they want to be a party to the crimes that would blacken the name of their county and town by heinous offenses com mitted by infuriated human be ings—caused by liquor obtained at the open bar! Let those who oppoee that dread evil be up and doing.
