Atlanta has another union pas senger depot —ou paper. Commissioner Stevens estimates the cotton crop this year at 9,200,- 000 The English are getting the worst of the war in Africa Those Boers certainly know how to fight. Atlanta is in the throes of an other sensation. ‘‘Another good man gone wrong,” due no doubt to high living and speculation. An organization has been formed in Cleveland, Ohio, to fight the Standard Oil Co. Trust agaiust trust, it will be “dog eat dog.” Congressman Bartlett denies most emphatically that he ever said to Dewey that Macon was not seeking to make of him a sideshow to a state or couDty fair. The Valdosta fair is in full blast this week. The exhibits are su perb, and are said to surpass any thing ever showu in Georgia, not excepting the state fair at Atlanta. The Willingham bill is sure to pass the House, though it may bo defeated in the Senate. Repre sentative Pate is in favor of the bill and will vote for it, and it is thought that Representative Hutch ins is also favorable to it. That head-end collision at the Fair was both late and premature —late when it failed to come off on time and premature when two race horses collided. The collis ion between the two locomotives, however, came off yesterday. Rev. George E. Morrison, of Texas, waß hanged at Pan Handle City, Texas, last Friday for mur dering his wife. He was enamored of auother woman, and poisoned his wife in order to clear the way for his marriage to her. Dr. E. W. Speer, the venerable father of Judge Emory Speer, and a prominent divine of the Metho dist church, died at his home in Athens Sunday. He was a great and good man, and his death is sincerely regretted throughout Georgia. MonVsuma Record: The race for solicitor of the Bibb, Houston and Crawford circuit promises to be a lively one. Houston offers as a candidate J. P. Duncan of Perry, while Bibb county produces Bayne, Cooper, Polhill, Lane and the present solicitor, Robt. Hodges. In the Southwestern circuit it seems that Frank Hooper is not to have opposition. Hooper makes a tip-top solicitor general, and suits the Record quite well. MORE COTTON MILLS. ‘•There ought io be a cotton mill in every militia district in Elberi county,” thus spoke Col. T. M. Swift when talking to a crowd of gentlemen Tuesday. We do no l know of a man who has more mon ey invested in manufacturing cot ton into yarn or who has been more successful in running cotton mills than Col. Swift, and it is a pleas ure to hear him tell of the way to make it pay. He says that ihere is and has always been a steady and consuming demand for all the product of his mills, and that he would welcome the establishment of sufficient mills in Elbert county and in the south to use up every bale of cotton we raise. He is a public-spirited man and knows there is room enough for all who will invest in this profitable busi ness. The reason the price of cot ton has been the same in Elberton as it has been in New York is all on account of the southern cotton mills using it. By this fact the farmers have practically had the price of shipment added to the ordinary price. The cry that has been made year after year of over production turns out to be a myth. There are mil lions of people in the world who are poorly clad for the want of cotton goods. The real reason for low prices for cotton has been the influence of the money powers of the east and Liverpool. Now, since the cotton mills of the south have set the price the world of fi nance stands aghast. Let us have more c tton mills and other manufacturing estab lishments to develop our country. When we have enough mills to take up the cotton of the south then we will have prosperity in the south that will surpass our fondest ex pectations.—Elberton Star. FAVORS A DISPENSARY. Editor News-Herald : —Know- j ir,g that your columns are always opeu to all sides in discussions; i that affect the public, I venture a reply—no, not u reply, but a die -1 cussion—of the dispensary subject • from the dispensary side ot th ; question. And in so doing 1 pro * pose fairly, dispassionately and in the best of feeling to all, to give :my honest views. And I further 1 assent that I have voted several times in prohibition elections, and always voted a dry ticket. 1 am unalterably opposed to drunken ness and the ordinary manner that barrooms are run. So no one can truthfully charge me with wanting the free and unrestrained sale of liquors; but as it will always sell, I am in favor of the police powers, or the laws managing the sale. The trouble is with most of the writers on the other side, they for get to argue the merits or demerits of the dispensary, and jump on whisky, and by quotations from lugersol and other temperance writers and jackleg orators, make the improper use of whisky and other intoxicants look awful. So can I do that, and when you hear a weak brother, even in the pul pit, run out of anything to say, he pitches into the barkeeper and rum seller, as lie styles them, and on that line he can spend the bal ance of his hour in boreing a cul tured congregation. But to the subject in hand: They say the dispensary is only decent barroom, and only a cloak. This we deny, and can demonstrate to a certainty. Iu the first place a dispensary has inspectors, whose sworn duty it is to test and inspect every drop of whisky that comes into the dispensary, and see that it is pure and fit for medicinal use. What birroom does that ? The dispensary is managed by a man on a salary, who has no interest in the amount he sells, hence holds no free lunch inducements to in duce custom; neither does a dis pensary have pool or billiard or card tables to tempt or attract loafers and minors. A bottle is not allowed to be unstopped in a dispensary, no touching of the so cial glass, no one waiting for a “set up.” A first-class barroom has all the foregoing adjuncts. But oh, the “morals,” “the young boys,” “the temptations,” is the cry of the antis “Oh, tempore,” “Oh, Morkse,” the morals, what are they now ? The county is overrun with blind tigers, and will continue to be, and right here ev ery anti that I have ever road af ter or listened to gives himself away. When you say to them that “prohibition don’t prohibit” he will almost every time reply that “the law agaiust murder don’t pro Apprselates the News-Herald. It is such letters as the follow ing, from an old Gwinnett county man in Texas, that casts rays of sunshine in our editorial pathway : Snypkr, Texas, Oct., 23, 1599. W. G. McNellky, Editor News-Her ald, Lawrenceville, Ua : Your card received and noted. 1 suppose you are correct, as I do not keep dates on newspapers. I can say this as regards your excellent paper—l can’t afford to be without it, as it contains various articles and names that 1 am familiar with. While I have moved to Texas, I still have a warm place in my heart for old Georgia, my native state. 1 send you 75 cents in stamps; let the paper come on and when my time ex pires drop ine a card and I will remit.

All agree that a crippled, insulted and maimed tiger is the most danger ous of animals. 1 do not believe that there is a man iu Georgia that will pretend to hold that a man who will go so far iu violation of the law as to sell whisky in a blind 'iger will care on what day of the week he sells it or at what age his custom er is. Not only will he sell it. to your minor boys on Sunday, but. will have them vow not to tell on him; and when cauvht up as a witness, will probably swear th.it he never bought a drop, or will prevaricate until half the lime no conviction can be had. Here your boy is taught, (a) to buy liquor, (b) to violate the sabbath, (c) to perjure his poor soul as black as Apolyan himself, and (d) to vio late the laws of his country and take the first step on the road to ruin and law breaking. “We must stop tho tigers,” you say But you can’t You have already said the law would not stop murder, and could not stop the tiger. But I say that a law abiding man under oath and in broad day light cannot nor will not allow, much less allure, your boy in a dispensary. But the writer lias heard of minors—or at least very young men —riding ten miles after night to reach an il licit still, so they would sav, and remain in a crowd all night wait ing for the “dublin” to run off. Now, as I say, I never in my life as I know of saw an illicit distil lery, but I know the boys would go off, and would come back, and I could see the mark of tiger claws upon them. Mother, what kind of company were your boys in during these tramps? Speak out. My answer is that a second-class bar room or any other kind of a legit imate place of sale would furnish better company than were around that tiger during the labor of bringing into the world this fire water which we all agree is a curse and raging evil. No fancy or fa natical picture hers, but truth. Were some of our good mothers to enter our courts and listen to the exagerations and prevarica tions that come from the witness stand, they, in my opinion, would shudder for the future good and sanctity of our courts of justice, and wonder “where are we at” al ready.

E. Winn, Oct. Ist, lb 9». Riverside, Ga. can’t buy whisky at a tige; end the youth is taught by the tiger fraternity that they must put off the glorious standard of truth or they can’t con ■ in, and knowing there is pc •iciutinoLt in the pre cincts o: th tiger, the youngster puts on t. ■ tiger urmino of secrecy and goes in where there is no bounds nor bottom to thp gulf of degradation that soon follows. Now, don’t run off and sav “whisky, whiskv is damning,” for I say so t and that is the pre cise reas Mi that it ought to be con trolled by the police regulations of the county. Another point I wish to rn t that the prohis main is that “Your boy is iu danger all the time.” Well, if the parents of children would do their duty as was done by them 50 years ngo, there would be no trouble about the boys. I was near 20 years old before I ever left my home with out the consent, of my father, and until I was married I never spent a night away from home without my father knowing where I was. ; But it now seems that a great ma ny people think all they have to ido is to bring children into exist- I ante and then let the Sunday -1 schools and temperance societies j take care of them. This is not | proper, and while I deny being a I pessimist, yet I am compelled to j feel some alarm and anxiety for j the future wellfare of the country because of the neglect of parents in curbing the acts and tempers of their children. Know where your son is and he will not likely enter danger. In regard to the use of spirits, all are'compelled to admit that their use at times are necegsary — yog imperative. Well, how are we to get them ? A good man can’t afford to patronize a tiger, i' he could, for he would be helping to nourish the brute he was trying to put to death, hence impossible. But suppose he was willing to pat- I ronize the tigs, the varmint would sneak off into the lair and sav “no, you must send me a man who, if called inio ccurt, would not tell on me, or who, if he did, the courts and juries would not believe.” Doctors prescribe a “toddy” for the poor emaciated fever-wrecked patient, knowing that a good man will have to go or send to Atlanta for it, or run into a den presided over by the tiger. And strange to say, that probably that same doc tor will lift his hands in holy hor ror at the hint of a dispensary. “Oh consistency, thou arta jewel.” In my next I will discuss the fi nancial side of the question, while I am not yet clone with the moral part of it.

The marks left by pain are on the young faces of many of our daughters. Pain that leaves its mark comes from a curable • cause.
