All of which, if not called for in 30 days, will be sent to the dead letter office, at Washington, IX C. W. C. Cole, P. M. 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.

I. Hood .4 Co., Lowell, Mass. 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.
