MANAGER,£IO Canon bldg.,Chicago. THE NEWS-HERALD. WILLINGHAM'S POSITION ON THE PROHIBITION ISSUE. Forsyth, Ga., Feb. 12. —To the Editor of The Atlanta Journal: Several times recently, there have appeared communications in your paper that place me in an awk ward light, and do an injustice to the prohibition movement.. Know ing that the management of your paper is friendly to me personally and too high-toned to allow your columns to be used to misrepre sent auy one, I ask you to correct the impression that some of your correspondents are laboring to make, namely, that I favor the formation of a new and indepen dent party to be known as the prohibition party. I have never by word or act given any reason to believe such. On the contrary, the files of your paper will show that in my speech advocating the prohibition bill in the Legislature in 1895, intro duced by Mr. Bush, and again in 1899, introduced fey myself, I pub licly disclaimed and disapproved of any such movement, while in local campaigns in my county, beginning as far back as 1892, and continuing up to the present time, I have contended that inside the Democratic party was the place for us to make our fight; that there were other things which made the preservation of that party of paramout importance. Believing as I do that a majori ty of the white people of Georgia are prohibitionists and that they have it in their power to control the state on this question, "’ould it not be foolish on my part to ad vocate going outside the party to settle what can best be done in side ? No, I do not advocate the for mation of a new party. Nor shall any uewspaper reporter read me out of democratic ranks. But, Mr. Editor, I do think it is time COLD STEEL OR DEATH. “There is but one small chance to save your life and that is thro’ au operation,” was the awful pros pect set before Mrs. I. B. Hunt, of Lime Ridge, Wis., by her doctor after vainly trying to cure her of a frightful case of stomach troub le and yellow jundice. He didn’t count on the marvelous power of Electric Bitters to cure Stomach and liver troubles, but she heard of it, took seven bottles, was whol ly cured, avoided surgeon’s knife, now weighs more and feels better than ever. It’s positively guar anteed to cure Stomach, Liver and Kidney troubles and never disap points. Price 50c at A. M. Winn & Son’s drug store. FARMERS!

TRIP, GA. the prohibitionits were standing together and making their influ ence felt. If a majority of our white voters are prohibitionists, why should they not shape the pol icy of the party? The funda mental principles of Democracy is that the majority shall rule. So let's apply the test, and when the stats democratic committee or ders a primary this summer, let it request the voters to say on their ballots whether they favor state prohibition or bar-rooms. This will be Democratic, and our Legis lature and Governor will be com mitted on the question by the par ty and its attitude to the whisky question clearly defined. Very respectfully yours, B. S. Willingham. Hr. T. F. 'Walker Announces For The Senate. After many suggestive courtesies and cunning insinuations on my part, I now find myself under an irresistahle pressure by numerous friends to become a candidate for the State Senate. In thus con senting to sacrifice myself for my beloved constituency, I trust they will recognize that in our rotation system it is not only Gwinnett’s time, but indeed Pinkneyville’s time to furnish candidates for this distinguished honor, and as there are only four or five proba bilities at present in this district, and most of them are as yet in the dim distance, I take this timely method of modestly hurl ing myself upon the suffrages of the dear people, believing that 'hey know a good thing when they see it, and at the same time re membering that this may be the opportunity of their life to do me honor and at the same time re flect credit upon themselves. Provided, however, nevertheless and notwithstanding, that if I should find my hold on the Sen ate slipping, then in that case, it is hereby understood that I shall become a candidate for the lower house, and in the event of such condescension I shall, of course, expect no opposition, but will ex pect all the lesser lights to vanish like stars at noon-day. If elected, I promise to always be present when not absent, and in voting to strive to cast my bal lot on the popular side of every question, doing as little harm aud as much good as is compatible with the average up-to-date legis lator. Respectfully, T. F. Walker. LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, MARCH 15,1900. Kinderhook. Kindkrhook, Mich. Feb. 22,1900 Mr. N. S. Robinson. Dear Sir: —I received your kind letter of the 15th, and am truly thankful for the information it contained, and have shown it to others that are thinking of going south. There are quite a number here that want to go where they can get homos, and are good, honest, hard working men. As for myself, I have been very unfortunate and will have to rent for a year or two where I can get everything furnished until I can get a crop, as I am capable of making money if I have a chance but this country is full of renters. Land is high, and 10 reutors to one farm, then they want one half of everything, even to butter and eggs. But at that laY 1 have made as high as SI,OOO a year on a good farm. lam heir to considerable property, but can’t wait for any “old shoes,” as all I want is a chance. If I was on one of those large plantations with the tools and 6 good mules I could soon he at the top of the heap. As you wanted me to tell you if I could come soon, I will have to stay until after the March term of court as I am a witness hero. Then lam afraid I will he called to Beatrice, Neb. as a witness on a murder case. I have got some good letters from Madison N. C. There was a man here from there and he found out what I am, and wants me to come there as I cau get most any kind of a chauce I want. But I am afraid I will have to go to Beatrice first. I should think you would have a great country for stock, principal ly sheep. Get the large kind, then get the lambs to market just ahead of the Northern crop. If clover grows well, hay wou'd bo a great crop to ship, and the clover is good to plow under for wheat ground. We have to keep our ground seeded to clover here or we could not raise anything. The clover seed is a good crop, worth three to five dollars a bushel, but the one great drawback here is we have to feed so long. We don’t plow any until about the 15th of April, and then have to hustle to get our corn cribbed as soon as November before it freezes up, then commence to feed out what you have laved up. If you have clover you can raise hogs and sheep without any other feed or loßt trouble or expense and as you have lots of timber a man can make fences and keep the bogs in one field of clover. As I am out of paper I will close. Hoping to hear from you' again, I am thankful for the kindness you have shown me. Frank Walter. Lawrenceville, Ga., Feb. 22,1900 Mr. Frank Walter, Kinderhook, Mich. Dear Sir: Yours of the 22nd to hand and contents noted. I will first explain to von why your let ter was published in the Lawrence ville News-Herald —it was done to show our people here that people in the cold Northern states are in clined to come south. I find you are a subscriber to our county pa per. Glad you are. The editor wants to copy your letter to me, but as you included your indebted ness and the sickness and death of your wife I refused to allow it published. I did tell him I would let him publish a portion of it, after I had replied to it. Your let ter will be very interesting reading matter. It will tickle our farmers to think about land-lords claiming part of the butter and eggs of a renter. We always give a renter here a garden, potato patch etc. free of rent, also furnish house, fire wood etc. free. If you rent lands here, and the land lord fur nishes stock, tools etc. you then get one half. I know of three good places here either one of which would suit you to rent, hut DOES IT PAY TO BUY CHEAP? A chpap remedy for coughs and colds is all right, but you want something that will relieve and cure the more severe and danger ous results ot 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 case take the only remedy that has been introduced in 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. Try one bottle. Recommended many years by all druggists in the world. Sample bottles at Bagwell’s Drug Store, Lawrenceville; Smith and Harris, Suwanee: R. 0. Medlock, Norcross. I expect they are rented already, but if you were here I would do what I could to get one of the owners to take you as manager or overseer. This county ueeds such a man as I believe you to he to learn them something about raisiug clover, hay and sheep. Our peo ple could do well raising stock if they would only try. They think toomuchjnbout raising cotton. Fine clover cau be raised here. Our people sow some wheat and oats, plant a lot of corn, and the re mainder of the whole couutry in cotton. I would try to break you off from going to North Carolina, but I would not exchange any lands, climate, water etc. for any North Carolina lands etc. Gwin nett county, Georgia, is said by many people to he the garden spot of the world. There are places where the lands are richer, hut taking everything into considera tion this county can’t be beat. We all move along easy. Make a liv ing. Very few get rich. A great many renters here do not work over four or five months in each year. So you know they will never have anything above a living. There are a few Northern men now in this county, and they work very near all of the time, hence they make money. Well I will allow the editor here to publish your letter after I have stricken out a few points. Any information I cat. givo you will bo done ohoerful ly, Yours, etc., * N. S. Robinson.

It would he insincere to pretend that his death is matter for regret, for it is not. His continued living could not have been auy good even to himself. His existence must have been a wretched burden even to him, and it was certainly a sore perplexity to the people of the county. That he waß to some ex tent mentally unbalanced is rea sonably certain, but opinions dif fer as to whether his condition was serious enough to render him responsible for his criminal ac tions. Last January in an effort to break jail he was wounded by a pistol shot in the thigh as hereto fore reported by the Era. Since that time he has been confined to a bed of suffering from which his death was his deliverance. During his treatment diarrhoea set in and continued in such Bevere form that the resultant physical weakness ended with death. Whether he brought on the disease purposely is not certain. It is stated howev er that during its continuance he was detected drinking kerosene oil and rubbing it on his wound. It is thought that his purpose in this was to render himself physically unfit for trial at the present term of court. Last week his attorneys filed a memorial and petition in court al leging that he was on the verge of death, exposed in a cold place to insufferable weather and covered with lice and other vermine. Judge Candler ordered his removal to some more suitable quarters and that he have the best of medical attention. This was done but he nevertheless died on Tuesday mor ning at G o’clock. It is prdbable that the facts al leged in the petition wore some what exagerated, but it is certain ly true that the jail was not a suit able placo for his detention du ring his sickness, and the death em phasizes what the Era said some in all grades of this number.

It is most unfortunate that the county should be put in the light of maintaining a Cham ber of Horrors for her prisoners. Common humanity requires that when we detain the criminal or de mented of our people we should not subject them to torture.

A woodsman marking the direc tion in which quail feed can al most certainly foretell the day’s weather. If they choose stubble or cornfields, it will be mild and moist; if they go to the open woods he looks for wind and sun; if they scurry for thickets of brier and sedge, then he knows bitter cold is imminent. Unless forced to migrate by lack of food a covey always sleeps within 100 yards of the nest it was hatched in altho’ it may have fed all day several miles away. The sleeping is done in a huddled ring, tails in, heads out, all around and so closely bunched that a good sized napkin will cover it. Instinct possibly lies at the back of the ring-mak ing. Thus the shy creatures hope to escape surprise from creeping vermin; niink, weasels, foxes, which steal upon them in the night.—Dahlonega Signal.
