The Globe Warehouse had a
narrow escape from destruction by
fire last Saturday night. The waste
cotton in the west corner of the

ignited, and the flames rapidly
spread. J. L. Powell, who was in

the alarm and quickly the people
responded. In a short space of
time the flaming cotton was car
ried into the street and soon the
fire was extinguished, without se
rious loss. The cottou was fully
iusured.

A Correction.
The communication in last
j week’s News-Herald signed “Tax
Payer,” and the comments thereon
were founded upon misinforma
! tion, and, appearing us it did,
might be calculated to do an in
justice to some of our couuty of-
I ficials.
We have taken the trouble to
(investigate the matter fully, and
herewith submit the fignr«s ns
taken from Treasurer Jacobs’
books, showing the condition of
the county treasury at each term
of the Superior court for the past
four years, and herewith submit
the same to our readers.
1896.
Cash on hand at March term 98J57.00
Caata on hand at Sept, term *,874.40
The Treasurer received $2,886,96
after the March term, which was
expended, in addition to the dif
ference between the March and
September reports of that year,
making the amount, paid out on
proper vouchers between the two
terms, $5,618.
1897.
Cash on hand at March term 19,856.98
Cash on hand at Sept, term .. 4,820.40
Showing expenditures between
the two terms of $5,585.58.
1898.
Cash on hand at Marce term ....$8,418214
Cash on hand at Sept. term 8,511.00
Showing expenditures between
the twe terms of $4,907.84.
1899.
C’aah on hand at March term 58,701..*16
Cash on hand at Sept, term 2,074.82
Showing expenditures between
the two terms of $6,117.04,
These are the figures, and are
absolutely correct.
There uever has been such a
large surplus in the treasury as
people imagined, though the re
ports to the grend jury for the
March terms might have indicated
it at a casual glance. However,
after the expenses of the current
terms were paid the amount left
would not be a sum sufficient to
be termed a surplus, but only
enbugh to render cash on demand
for legitimate expenses.
We are satisfied that there has
been no unnecessary or extrava
gant expenditures on the part of
the proper authorities, and though
the expenses have been unusually
heavy between the last two terms
of court, it must be remembered
that the expenses of the courts
have been greater for the past six
months than usual.

Against Blind Tigers and Dispensaries.
While blind tigers are a great
curse to our cuuntry, and are car
rying wreck and ruin into thous
ands of our homes, yet they are an
unnecessary evil. The reason why
they are doing so much harm can
be readily seen by evsn a casual
observer. I shall not attempt to
give all the causes, but shall call
attention to one or two of the
most important. One of the prin
cipal causes is this : Men whom
we believe to be honest, upright,
Christian gentlemen, men who de
mand the respect of their fellow
men, men who help to run the af
fairs of the country, and men who
declare themselves opposed to
blind tigers, will give the money
and the jug, or the bottle, as the
case muy be, to some low-down,
good-for-nothing fellow, who has
no respect for law and order, and
get him to bring them the whisky-
Everyone who buys whisky, wheth
er directly or indirectly, from a
blind tiger helps to run it, and
ought to be classed as one of the
gang. Another cause is, a great
many men think more of their
neighbors’ feelings than they do
of the lives of their children or
the destiny of their government.
They will let a man sell whisky
right at their doors, and yet not
prosecute him, though they know
the traffic will wreck and ruin the
lives of their boys and girls, and
undermine the foundation of their
government. Lot every home
loving and law-abiding citizen of
old Gwinnett determine that he
will not only not patronize a blind
t'ger, but that he will not allow
one to be run in the community
in which he lives. Then, and not
until then, will this curse be driven
from the county. Some claim
that a dispensary will stop the il
legal sale of whisky, and at the
same time benefit the whole peo
ple by reducing the tax rate. If
time and space would permit, I
would show that this theory is er
roneous from beginning to end,
that it is founded on a selfish
greed for money, and not upon
the idea that it will benefit all.
Whisky is damnable in its effects,
whether suld legally or illegally,
and no kind of sale of it has ever
made a gentleman of anybody, nor
it never will. Every intelligent
man knows that it is harder to
stop a legal procedure than an il
legal one. Then would not the
sale of whisky be harder to stop
with a dispensary than without
one ? Hundreds of men are mur
dered every year, but for this
should the law not provide for the
punishment of a murderer ? Thou
sands of people make their living
by stealing, but is that a sufficient
reason to repeal the law that for
bids stealing ? Thousands of gal
lons of whisky are sold every year,
but does that prove that the law
should not prohibit its sale ? You
had as well legislate against the
sale of whisky as against stealing,
or any other vice, for of all the
evils that are abroad in our land,
whisky is by far the worst. Citi
zens, friends and representatives
of Gwinnett county, can you af
ford to establish a dispensary when
you know that whisky is the great
est curse that exists in our coun
try ? “It cuts down youth in its
vigor, manhood in its strength, and
age in its weakness. It breaks the
father’s heart, bereaves the doting
mother, extinguishes natural affec
tion, erases congenial love, blots
out filial attachments, blights per
ennial hope, and brings down
mourning age in sorrow to the
grave. It produces weakness, not
strength; sickness, not health;
death, not life. it makes wives ,
widows, children orphans, fathers
fiends, and all of them paupers and
beggars. It covers the land with ,
idleness, misery and crime. It
fills our jails, supplies our alms
houses and demands o«r asylums.
It engenders controversies, fosters
quarrels and cherishes riots. It
crowds our peuiteutiaries and fur
nishes victims for our scaffolds.
It is the life-blood of the gambler,
the element of the burglar, the
prop of the highwayman and the
support of the midnight incendia
ry. It countenances the liar, re
spects the thief and esteems the
blasphemer. It violates obliga
tion, reverences fraud and honors
infamy. It defames benevolence,
hates love, scorns virtue and slan
ders innocence. It incites the
father to butchor his helpless chil
dren, helps the husband to massa
cre his wife and the child to mur
der his parents. It burns up men,
consumes women, detests life,
curses God and despises Heaven.
It suborns witnesses, nurses perju
ry, defiles the jury box and staius
the judicial ermine. It degrades
| the citizen, debases the legislator,
I dishonors statesmen and disarms
the patriot. It silences the preach
er in his pulpit and muzzles the
editor at his desk. It brings ter
ror, not safety; shame, not honor;
despair, not hope; misery, not hap
piness, and with the malevolence
of a fiend it calmly surveys its
frightful desolation, and unsatis
! fied with its havoc it poisons felic
ity, kills peace, ruins morals, slays
! reputation, blights confidence and
wipes out national honors, then
curses the world and laughs at its
folly.” Knowing that whisky does
all these things, and more, can
any man, who wishes to be • f real
service to his country, favor the
sale of it ? l'hink of this candid
' ly, aud let your answer come from
i the heart. W. T. Brooks.
