[Speech of Senator McGhee, continued from last week.] Talk about destruction of prop erty. They sav you must not pass this bill because you will destroy SBOO,OOO worth of property. That is the cry. Now I say to some of these gentlemen who stand upon the liquor side of this question, I think I can remove their objection to this bill iu so far as the de struction of property is concerned, and if 1 succeed iu this I am satis fied they will come iu and help us pass the bill,because to them it is “purely a legal question.’’ When a man of great intellect runs up agaiDst a great constitutional question he must be satisfied, but when the objection is removed, he as an honest man, will be ready to stanS with us on this bill. Let’s see what the supreme court of Georgia says about destroying property of this kind. The case went up from the city of Atlanta, county of Fulton. Seventy-seven Georgia, page 668, the supreme court says: “It follows that the incidental effects upon the value of property, such as a brewery and its fixtures, resulting from the in ability cf the owners to adjust their old business to a new law, is not takingordamaging their prop erty for the use of the public, but only prevents them from taking or damaging the public for their use.” Now, I charge that the liquor traffic is a sponge; it is soaking up the life-blood of our industrial life, and giving out nothing. I charge that the money invested in liquor gives less people employ ment, according to the capital in vested, than any other business in the world. I charge that the li quor traffic pays their laborers less, according to the capital in vested, than any other institution in the country, and you talk about throwing people out of employ ment! The ceusus of 1890 gives the combined capital invested in breweries, etc., for the year. Ac cording to the capital invested, the liquor dealers employed one person for every SB,OOO capital it - vested, and paid $448 wages. Boot and shoe factories employ 8 6-lOths persons for every $3,000 invested, eight times as much labor fur nished, aud pays the laborers $2,- 387, aud the whole combined brew eries in the United States, accord ing to this census, ouly employ 3,300 and pay them a small pit tance. If the liquor traffic was abolished in Georgia and that money put into just and legiti mate trade, the result would be, like Henry Grady Baid, that the money sunk in barrooms aud sa loons would go into the grocery stores and shoe factories, and things of that kind, that pay la borers five times as well as the li quor men pay them and employ five times as many. Ought a trust with combined capital, employing only 3,300 people, dictate to the whole union in which we live, to the legislatures of the country and have the rights of all of our own people set aside ? But now I strike it, now I strike it! Personal liberty! Persoual liberty ! That is the cry from one end of the country to the other. Personal liberty 1 Isay that the fundamental principle of govern ment is that no man has persoual liberty to the extent that he has a right to damage his neighbor. You own a piece of land next to mine, two building lots You have no right to erect a nuisance for yourself, one that will endan ger the health of my family and home. Your persoual liberty stops whenever it interferes with my life, safoty or health, and you know it. There is a limit to per sonal liberty, there are some things a man has no right to do— he has no right in this country to beat his wife, he has no right to carry weapons only in a certain way. Talk about personal liberty 1 The fair city of Atlanta has ; gone so far as to dictate when and j where a woman shall wear her hat, LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 11.1900. and where a countryman shall ! spit. Talk about persoual liberty! | Now, let me ask you, in all fair ness and candor, if 117 counties have no right to their personal lib erty. Thejr personal liberty says, “We don’t want liquor.” These fellows in the city say, “We have personal liberty, and you must not come over our line and inter fere with us.” We say that 22 counties ought to be willing to let 117 have their liberty. You say “No, we will exorcise our personal liberty, but you shall not have it. Your little minority of 177 coun ties must yield to the majority of 22. We will do as we please. We will set aside your personal liber ty and deluge your counties with liquor ail over the state of Geor gia. If you will just let us set aside your persoual liberty, let us make ten milliou dollars out of you by selling our liquor to you, we will give you one thousand dol lars for your schools, aud that ought to satisfy you country mem bers.” I submit this question to the senators on this floor: If lo cal option had run liquor out of every county iu this state butone, and that one was Fulton, aud ev ery barroom keeper in the state were to go to Atlanta and set up there, and every other county in the state were dry, would you say it was democratic for one county to dominate aud control the state? Would it be democratic for one county to set aside the will of 136 sovereign counties in the state ? Would it not be preposterous ? What would that mean ? It would mean continuing the barroom and the liquor traffic until the crack of doom, and you know it. If that would not be right, on the same principle is it right for two or three counties to do it ? Is it right for four counties to exercise that privilege ? Is it right for 20 counties to do it 7 Now, senators, I tell you one thing the Willingham bill has done. The Willingham bill has accomplished a thing that the whole state, the democracy and everything else has been unable to do—it has brought the Constitu tion and the Atlanta Journal to gether. The lamb aud the lion are actually lying down together on the Willingham bill, aud when I behold the scene I am constrain ed to exclaim, “Behold, mercy and truth have met together,righteous ness and peace have met together.” Now, a strange thing to me about this local option business is thus, whenever we have a local option election the daily papers of the state are for state prohibition, but when it comes to state prohibition, they are for the grand old princi ple of local option. Put your fin ger on a daily paper in the state of Georgia that has ever used its col umns for the grand old democrat ic principles of local option when the contest has been on. How was it in -Macon, or Columbus, or Rome, or any of the cities ? I ask in all candor, if there be any truth in the position of these papers,why were they not for local option when they had a chance ? In Ma con they cried: “Give us state prohibition and we will stand by it. You take liquor out of Macon and Atlanta will grow rich on us, aud we cannot afford it, but give us a state bill and we will stand for it and support it.” Where does Macon stand when the state prohibition bill is offered ? I ask men to deal fairly with this argu ment. I ask you to deal with it in sincerity and say that you are not for local option or state prohibition, but you are soul and body for whisky and the liquor traffic. It reminds me of a pro fessor iu a leading northern col 1-ge. He was what you call a pro feffsor of “bugology,” and the stu dents thought they would play a trick on him, and they went out and got the body of a bug, put a h-g of one kind on the body, a DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP? A cheap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and danger ous results of throat and lung troubles. What shall you do? Go to a warmer and more regular cli mate? Yes, if possible If not possible for you, then in either ease take the only remedy that has been introduced iu all civilized countries with success in severe throat and lung troubles, “Bos chee’s German Syrup.” It not only heals and stimulates the tis sues to destroy the germ disease, but allays inflamation, causes easy expectoration, gives a good night’s rest, and cures the patient.

Medlock, N u'cross. wing of another kind, eyes of an-1 [other kind and head of another! kind, and carried it to the profea-i sor and said: “What kind of bug is this ?” The professor looked over his glasses and said : “Young men, I am too old to be fooled —I am certain that is a humbug,” Senators, when you see a temper ance paper or man with a local op tion body, a state prohibition Ipg, a personal liberty eye, a high li cense wing and revenue feet, you need not he.-itate in classing the thing as a “prohibition humbug.” I was speakiug of the two great daily newspapers of Georgia, of this city, aud of this great move ment that is stirring the hearts aud conscience of our state, and I thought, Mr. President, if the great powers wielded by these immense papers were turned in the chan nels of rignt, were directed iu the interest, of sobriety, were given to uplifting our people and our coun try by the abolition of the liquor traffic, I have thought what a uni versal blessing they would be to the state. I hold in my hand a clipping from the Atlanta Consti tution of December first, which I endorse in the highest terms, and which I adopt as my own state ment. In making a plea for the boys of Georgia, the Atlanta Con stitution says: “There is more iu the man than there is in the laud. There is more in a man thou there is in a railroad, than there is in a cotton factory, than there is in any industrial development. t Gen tlemen of the Legislature, we give unto your consideration the poor boys of Georgia,” I endorse that sentiment aud say there is more in a man than there is in a cot’tou factory. I say there is more in a mao than there is in a railroad, more than there is in any indus trial enterprise; and, senators, men are made from boys and the character of our boys determines the character of our men, and I ask this great paper why, in speak ing of education for boys, does it put the hovs above the cottou fac tory, put them above the industri al enterprises, and yet, when this great movement, if for the salva tion and uplifting of our boys, why don’t they stand to it arid come to our rescue ? They say they are worth more than facto ries and industrial enterprises. When we seek to uplift and save our sons, this same paper con fronts us w-ith the argument that the liquor traffic pays $350,000 to educate your boys. Isay that our sods are worth more than cotton factories and industrial enterprise, that $350,000 per annum is a small price at which to sell out our boys and our children and our homes. Here i6|inother clipping I endorse; this is from the Atlanta Journal: “The world, with all its sorrows aud sadness, holds no more pathetic spectacle than a child who has nev er known what childhood is, whose face, instead of wearing the smiles and roses which are the joy aud beauty of childhood, is pale and sickly and pinched ; the face upon which battle and care have set their mark, aud plowed their fur rows where dimples should be seen. If an army of such children, and it could be easily made up from Geor gia factories, could be marched be fore the Georgia legislature we do not believe there is a man in that body who would vote agaiust the pending bill. It is the duty of the state to protect her children who are not protected by those who have the natural control of them, but in an unnatural way.” Here is a pa per making a plea for the childhood of the state and saying to the legis lature that personal liberty has no place in it, and that the legislature ought to go so far in the protection of childhood as to assume the place of the parent, and where the parent will not protect they say the legis lature ought to do it. Where is the argument of persona! liberty ? Senators, if it will not apply when children are being overworked in factories, pray tell me how it is pertinent when we seek to save our sous and daughters from the influence of the open bar, which is fifty times worse than working in a cottou factory. I listened to the eloquence of the senator who represents this district as he plead for the poor children who work in the factories, and appealed to us for their health and for their hap piness, and I say today that l ap peal to him on the same high ground because the saloon is doing more to hurt and ruin our chil dren than every cotton factory in the state.

I say that this is a great moral question that rise* as high above politics as the eagle soars above the mountains in this state. I say to you, this question lives iu a higher and holier and a purer at mosphere than politics, and that victory may be delayed, but it is sure. The people of Georgia have sounded the note, one hun dred and seventeen counties are dry, a Democratic house has pas sed it by a majority and it stands before us io the senate. I tell you it is coming. There is no ques tion of politics in it. But if this bill fails to pass tins' senate, the grand old Democratic party of Georgia will see to it that in the coming electiou men take a po sition on this great question. It is a Democratic principle, purs aud simple. I want to say that the first state prophibition law ever passed in the United States was passed by a Democratic legis lature and was signed by a Dem ocratic governor. The name of the honored and lamented govern or of this state has been mention ed in opposition to the measure, but I say that in the city of Sa vannah, when the question was asked the sainted governor when he was a candidate: “If the Geor gia legislature passes a state pro hibitipn bill will you veto the measure ?” His answer in that city by the sea was this: “If the people, through their representa tives, pass a state prohibition measure, I would not veto it be cause I would take that to mean that the Democratic party, thro’ their representatives, have aban doned local option and have taken state prohibition ” He seemed to recognize the principles that if one hundred and seventeen coun ties in Georgia, representing three fourths of the democracy of the stute, should take an advanced step towards state prohibition, that it would be Democratic, Do you ask for the proof that was said ? I answer that it is a prin ciple of law that when papers come from the proper custody they come with the idea of genu- ineness upon them. That state ment came fresh and burning from the lips of a man who presides to day over the most honored state institution in our midst, a man whose veracity will not, be ques tioned and whose accuracy is pro verbial. Now, senators, I ask you this question iu all candor aud all fairness: if prohibition by local enactment is right—mark it—if it is right in itself by local enact ment, why is not the same prin ciple right by a general law ? Does the fact of a general law or a local law change the fact of the eternal right or the eternal wrong of the subject legislated upon ? What is the object of local enact ment ? The object of local en actment is prohibition. That is what it is. Another thing, is the three-mile law democratic, passed by a demecratic legislature ? Sen ators, if the three-mile law is democratic, why is not a six mile law democratic, and if a six mile law is democratic, why is not a hundred mile law democratic, and if a hundred mile law is demo cratic, why is not a three hundred mile law democratic ? In prin ciple and in right, is it a fact that democracy can extend its wings over a three mile radius and pro tect every country church and schoolhouse and not ii\ feather of her brilliant plumage cau cross the incorporated limits of a town or city ? How does the corporate limits of a city change the eternal principle of democracy, or the eternal principles of right or wrong ? But you tell us that cities have police regulations; that we ought not to have liquor in the country, but it is right to have it in the city because of po lice regulations. Senators, no man ean be arrested uutil he has violated the law; no man can be arrested uutil he has committed a crime. Let your boy pass down the street and let a bullet, belch ing hot from a pistol of a drunken mau, be sent through his heart. Carry him back to your boarding house and sit there by his side and see his cheek turn pale and watch tho hlood as it flows out in its crimson tide. There in your sadness and in your sorrow, let the authorities come in and mingle their tears with yours and say to you, “You need not trouble —we have police regulations here—that man who shot your son is arrested ! and is now in jail.” Then, and nut till then, will you recognize the impotouoy and the wrong of police regulations. Undemocratic because it de stroys property! Senators, are i our children and our homes and j our firesides of as much value as the trees of the forest ? Aro they of as much valus as tho cattle that graze upon (he hills of Geor gia ? Let the dreaded San Jose scale find its way to one magnifi cent peach orchard of Georgia, and your democratic agricultural department will go there immedi ately and cut down every tree and burn every 1 las and every shrub. Destruction of property! Why? Because that one destroyed is threatening the life of all other orchards Let a dread disease get among our cattle. Your dem ocratic department will rush to the scene and will kill the affected cattle in order to save the others Senators, if it is democratic to destroy an orchard to save others, if it is democratic to destroy some cattle in order to protect others, in the name of God, I ask you if it is not democratic to destroy the liquor traffic, although some prop erty may be destroyed, in order to protect our sous and our daughters of our state? I take the position that those who vote against this bill vote against the democracy of Georgia. I say the bill is dem ocratic. I say it is democratic, senators, because one hundred and seventeen counties, representing three-fourths of the population of Georgia, 90 per cent of the area of Georgia, have said by their votes that they were in favor of prohibition ; they have saidit ,5" electing tu this legislature a house that has passed this bill, and that is the voice of the democracy of Georgia. I say that democracy is the rule of the majority of the people. I say that one hundred and seventeen counties represented in that house have voted for this bill, and it is trying to be set aside by a minority of twenty-two counties. Another thing: I make the statement here that it is worse than that. Now, mark what I say. I say that even in those cities that have local option, in those twenty-two counties, that a majority of the white people and a majority of the best white peo ple are in favor of prohibition. I don’t say all the good people; I say a majority of the white peo ple, a majority of the best white people are in favor of this bill. Now, let’s see. In the city of Macon a majority of the white voters voted for prohibition; two hundred and two majority. In the city of Columbus, one hundred and twenty-five majoiity of white people of that city voted for pro hibition. What is the fact ? It is that the minority of the whites of a few cities in Georgia, enforced by the colored vote, are putting their feet and their heels upon the democracy of this state, and are trying to control. It is well known that when those elections were held things occurred that would shock any man in the state of Georgia. In that election in Bibb county it was a question of black heels upon white necks. In that city, and that is the way it is in every local option election in the cities of Georgia, the good wo men of that city went out to the polls in order to keep down trouble and difficulty. The best mothers and women of the city of Macon, under the gaze of the city authori ties, wore insulted, Negro women were allowed to march before those women and sing songs that would shock their modesty, bring the blush of shame to their cheeks, songs that would justify auy white GLORIOUS • NEWS Comes from Dr. B.

That is the way that prohibi tion is carried in local option elections in the cities of Georgia, aud I say, senators, that a majori ty of the best white people of these cities are in favor of prohi bition; aud the situation is that a minority of the whites, enforced by the colored votes of these cities, are holding this state in the grasp of the iiquor power. How long are we to submit ? llow long is the democratic slate to submit ? How many counties mußt we get before it becomes democratic ? If we come up here with 180, will the gentlemen still say it is undemo cratic ? How much majority;sen ators, do you demnnd that we have before you say it is demo cratic ? In closing this talk, I call to mind the magnificent ship at sea, and think of tho terror that was struck to the hearts of its passen gers and to its captain, and to its noble crew, when the captain dis covered that there was a leak in the vessel. The water poured through and he started the pumps, but he found that the water filled faster than he could throw it out. After making a calculation, he called the crew and the passengers together and Baid: “I tell you that iu two hours we will go down unless some one will sacrifice him self and stop that leak.” He said: “1 have searched and find no ma terial that I can put in it to stop it. The leak in the vessel is about the size of a man’s leg, and unless I can get some noble man to go down beneath the water and put his leg in that leak for the sake of the rest of us, this crew will go down and we are lost.” As the cap tain spoke the words a deathly si leucegat.hered on tho scene,and you could almost hear the hearts heat ing. In silence the captain walk ed away. He started the pumps again, but the water contiued to rise, and finally he walked back and said: “Men of iny crew unless there is a man among you that will go beneath the waters and will stop that leak with his limb, we will go down iu twenty minutes.” In the midst of the silence a brave young boy stepped out, seventeen years of age. He said: “I volun teer,” and as the captain turned he 811 wit was his only son. The boy disrobed aud after telling them g< odby, went beneath the waves, and in a few minutes a bubble arose to the surface, the water stopped.risiug, the crew were saved, the boy was dead. Senators of Georgia, hear me. We are the crew on the ship of state, we are here, we are manning this vessel, its care is in our protection and uuder our direction, there is a leak in it, a leak that threatens our homes and threatens our firesides, bringing sadness and sorrow to our women and blighting the character of our youth. I call upon you today and ask you, are there enough men here willing to make a sacrifice and stop this leak The leak is the liquor traffic of Georgia. We can stop it. It does not take vour limb, but the leak is just about the size of your bal lot, and in the name of God and in the name of humanity, in the name of truth and virtue, and in the name of righteousness and children yet unborn, I call to you today and say for God’s sake put your ballot in the leak.
