Mr. Editor :—I am a stranger to your readers, having never ap peared in the colums of the Her ald but with your permission I de sire to say a few things on the whiskey subject, as the minds of th people o Gwinnett, ere being some what exorcieed on that subs ject just now. RISHTTS. lu'every section where prohibit tion has become a matter for pub* lic consideration, the question of the privtale the citizen has been raised by the friend of the traffic, and used against prohi bition under the pretecss that it is an infringmenl to their rightful and lawful pursuits, Ist As to (he lawfulness of the prosit that is the ‘lie question to be settled by the Legal voters of the county on April the 10th 1885 2nd As to the rigbtfillness of the making, buying, selling or using intoxicat ing spirits we laydown the follow iug proposition that under our condition and laws guaranteing equal rights to all men, no man lms a right either legally rt r mors ally to interfere with the business of any other man, unless his busi ness is of a hurtful nature either to the temporal or spiritual inter est the community or some part of the individuals : n the communi ty in which such business is loca ted. Gut on the other hand every man not only has the right but it is a dufy lie owes to himself, to his wife and children, to his neigh bor, 10 the weak and de r enslcss ones, to his county and 10 his God, to use all honorable means, i o put down every uuflineae that carries with it tbe probable hurt of community or individuals. We think ihe whiskey dealers blind more liberty or privilege with lights. A man Las a privalege or liberty to do a great many times ir. which there can no rights ex» ic,t,. Such as murder or theft. A man has a privalige but no right to slay his fellow man only such rights as occur to him through the circumstances under which be does the slayirg. If what wo have above stated be true then the question of rights must be settled by a consideration of the business itself. Is it entirely harmless te both individuals and communities We think not tut ou the contrary it is hurlful to both. But the friend of the traffic say it w'l! not hurt you if you let it alone. To his we answer, that is what we want done. We aim to let it alone and want every one else to do the same. But will it do me any good if I don’t let it alone. Y'ou an swer me. It cannot do me any good. Thin as the whiskey itself is indifferent we caunot judg6 it by the fruit it beam. But the fruit of the business as well a 3 the use of spirits is very detnmedtal to society and to individual members of society iherefore it follow thai it is the duty of every man desir iig the general good of li 8 fellow man to do all in nis power to put i/ down. Cau any man with a heart beating for the prosperity of the laud, be idle or indifferent wuile this question is being settled by his county i You cannot dedge the responsioiliiy by staying from tne polls, whiskey is now sold in your county it requires a majority of the votes cast to stop the sale if if you arc absent from the polls on tbe temh of April yon consent to the continuation of tbe traffic. Rally to (because of good gov eminent and put down this evil. Take this temptaiion from before your young men. Save your son from druekardness end raise up a geneiatiou of young met in tbe land, under the reformed laws nnd they will call you blessed. WHISKEY A SOURCE OF REVENUE* The opponents of prohibition cluim we ought to continue the traffic because it yields to the uuder high license a con aiderable revenue and thus ligh j tens the burden of the people by , mnkinr their taxes less. Oil how the people mnsi love money that can be thus easily bought. I say that in thus doing every man who pays tux in the county ieeeive 8 p»rt of the profit of the whiskey trade. For instant a man pays taxes to the amount of \eu dollars but bv liscemng a number of bar rooms in the country,his taxes are reduced to eight. He has receiv ed ‘wo dollars profi' from the sale of whiskey thus every tax payer becomes a whisky dealer. But while the above is true aDd ought to impress itself on every voter. Yet iu another sense, whis key d w. not lighten the burden of the tax payer but increase! it by a/ least 30 per cent. The crirns nal business of the state grows either direc ly or it direct out of the use and sale of whiskey; men have to leave their business as witnesses, as Jurors etc., and the county tie.isury impoverished to keep up the courts while the courts are trying cases that had then oragin in the whisky traffic cosr OF INTOXICATING DRINK. The report of the various sections show that in 1879 there were 153.6 18 ietailed licensed saloon and 4,497 wholesale liquor bouses in the United States. There were 283 G brewries, and nearly five thousand distilleries. Making a ioial of 162.000. Now if W 6 al low three persons to be employed in each. 480,000, now it is fair that the whiskey business in one way tend# to the building of the best interest of the county, in fact they buiid up no interest at aii save the sefish interest of those owning the I us : ncs3. But it's a known fact that it has a disregard ing influence on the whi L coun try. Hence their labor is not pure ly lost but worse inters as an agent for every possible evil, now there are 480000 men and women ems ployed in waste labor, this count ed at 50 cents per day will amount to 243,000 dollars wor,h of labor wasted daily in this nation these hands, could earn as much it some other employment that would add to the prosperity of our coun try. Bui if left idle there would ba no less bread-struff made than there is, in every sense they arc non-producers. Reports show that 341.040,990 gallons of fer mented liquor. Manufactured in 1878, this sold at a cost of 10 cents per pint to consumer it will amount to $272,832790 of brandy whisky and o her distilled spirits, there were in the same year 389,023,- 080 gallons, now if the consumer pay $3 per gallon for it will some up in round number $1,168,871,* 040. Now add to the above amounts, the loss time of men attracted to the saloon, and member engaged in ilicit distillers and the ildct. dis tilled spirits made and drunk and we arrive at the startling cc Delu sion that this business is costing this country double the cost of breads: uff. Besides all this it is the source of more grief depravity and poverty than all other agen cies combined. I could continue acre these ihoughfs and figures but I rear I have already said more than you will give space to, in you*' worthy Journal. J. L* Lotd PROHIBITION AOAIN. Mb. Editob The voters of the county will soon be called upon to cast their hallo a for, or against prohibition. They wi'l be asked to decide beiween morality and imorality : education and ignor ance : religion and vice ; and be tween the way ihat leads to pro gress and improvemen t and that which will uiimately lead to de cline and fall. Reader, which will you take ? I ask you iu the name of all suffering humanity, to think well upon tnis question before casting your vote. I cauld tell you of the thous ands that die annually from the effects of strong drink. I could tell you of the countless numbers that fill our prisons, asylums and opban houses, but the questior is limi eu down to Gwinnett county and I ask you to calmly servey the scenes around you—in your community and tee if you can see any evil that strong drink is caus ing. Do you any yourself 1 \ little you say for your health ! Couldn't you do with out it ? Yes bu* its my right and I intend to drink it if I want it. The doctors OUR OWN SECTION WU LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE. GA. APRIL 7 1885. can get up something else for your would only agree to give up whis key. And besides that it coat you a considerable amount of merer. But its my right to drink and i am going to drink, if l wan’ to do so. This, my readers is the only reason a ruaffcan give for, drink# mg. Get up rdv other excuse if you can. Now whats the use for a man to exercise Lis light merely because “he has the right”—when th« ex ercise of that right always leaves him in a worse- condition than be fore he exercises that right. It takes his money ; it takes his health; destroys his mind and places him on a level with the brute creation. That looks to me just like the man who cut off bis neck to spite his face. /?u'. I suppose tba* is one wav a man has of showing of! his ined p ndence. Another argument is that if you let whiskey tdone it will let you alone What a mistaken id ea ! Read the papers and see if whiskey will let you alone. Did it let Mrs. Beck and her fair young sister uionc ? Did it let young Swafford alone? Kind reade-, does it let you alone ? Study well before you -ay yes. St does cot l«t me alone, and I do not know how any kind of in# t„x oaung I'qUui's taste. On the contrary I believe that it is the cause of my being poverty and obscurity to day. Perhaps, your neighbor drinks and spreads all his money for whiskey and ils ir rparable accomplishments. But that does not interfere with ycu any. By and by his wife and children will have to have food and they'll be apt to go their neighbor to get if, or, else they will never to be put on /he'couns try for support, but still that don’t huri yon, as you don’t have to pay any tax. You can 1 ava no good schools no goed churches and you can have no gooa meetings of any kind on account of drunkedness consequently our community must always be behind in educa cation, religion and morals, but tbit hurts nobody but the that drink—-—“So they say.” Oh, you moderate dram drinker ! have you ever thought what influ ence you have in the sprad and extern of drunkenness. Your influence iu inducing young men to take to the wine cup is greater chan that of any one else even greater t an that of the barkeeper or the regular drunks ard. Why is this ? Simply because you are a model man iu your co •uanity. The young meu will fol low you because you never get drunk,theywill not imitate tbe sot, it is not nice to get drunk, but they will take oue dram a day like you, and everybody must admit that there are a great many per sons that cannot control their ap petite for whiskey after once drink ing it, so you see where your in fluence ends. You must admit what I say about your influence, and you must admit that you have some influence, for ‘Every one, poor and humble, Has a mission to fulfil, Every hand though small and feeble, Can work some good or ill.” The Heaven forbid that any of us should ever use our influence in behalf of what injurious to all leneficialto move. A few words now to the young men. i/ave you ever thought wnat responsibilities a few years will throw upon you. Every office and position relat ing to them, now held by those in control of the government of this great Republic must soon fall into the hands of ihe young meu of America. Georgia, too, must soon fall in to the hands of her rising sons Gwinnett will be called on to do her part. Aonng men will you be prepared to take the places of your fathers ! Some may, and no doubt will be prepared, but many I fear will be rendered almost worthless by the use of stroDg drink, unless von take the right view of things and wisely vote for Prohibition. Aid, again, young men, you each, no doub', expect to carry some fair maiden to your home, to light it up with the bright smiles, as joyfel as the sunbeams of Heaven itself, you no doubt intend to qmt drinking if you drink uoav, and never common ’e it if you do no l dribk, but let mo tell yon that others who have thought the same have fallen into . the sea «f temptation, and have been hulled by its rough waves against the harriers of destruction. Your s .fest plan is to avoid temptation by removing the ternp ‘er and placing the strong shack les of prohibition around him. 1 attack no man I would not take any man's rights from him. j I only shj as the Apostle said: “Come lot us reason togethei. I will frill not count she cost of your whiskey, dear reader please count it yourself, bringing in all the coets, remembering that “small leaks sink a ship." I wil 1 not say you must save this money you spend for whiskey and spend it, for a nobler pur pose, that of educating, clothing and feeding your children, but I will ask you in as respectful man ner as I can. if you in jour sober moments, do not think it would be better spend it in that way. I do not ask you to vote to cur tail your rights as a citizen, I on ly ask you to voie for prohibition to rescue the rights of yourself ai.d family against tyrauy t j King Alchol ol Tou have denied yourself and family many blessings in order to be able to secure this “Great Ty rant. Alcohol ; now please rise with the determination to depose him. Listen for once, to tne pleading of the poverty stricken and half naked children of oui county; listen for once, to the peti tions of the good honsewifes, whose husbands has mis-treated tin m wlieu under the influence of whiskey ; listen for once to the prayers of the good mothers, as they pray fervently, for an assur anca that their sons will not be come drunkards and their daugh ters the wives of drunken hus bands ; listen for once, to these and go the polls and cast your ballots on the 10th day of April a brightei sun will shine upon old Gwinnett. And then with a con scienioueness of having done right we can almost be as happy as /hey who in the far distant past re joiced, “when the morning stars sang together and the - sons of God shouted for joy.” Wileston L. Brand, WHISK Id vs, WHISKY. Centerville, Ga., March 27tli 1885 —On April the tenth the people of Gwinnett County will have the opportunity of sayitg whether liquor shall be retailed in /he conutv or not, under the Pool bill, (as it is called) the bill is be ing discussed generally all over the county, and there set ms lo be a portion of the people /hat the bill does not suit, (we are sensible of the fact that there could be no bill pa-sed suppressing the sale of liquors that would bo approved by all Ihe people of the county.) I wish here to note some of the ob jections urged by those who op po-e the bill. Il is argued jy the extremest that the people have no right to interfere with the business, and they say that people have a right to do what they please with that | which is /heir own, and the law should be sile.it, is not /he inten tion of the law to prohibi/ what is j wrong, doeb not the law say you ; shall not carry concealed weapons, j Has not tbe law the same right to say you shall not buy and sell a thing which works harm as lo ■ say you shall not carry a thing of your own in your pocket. Does not the law say to the bar keepers you must close your bar on election days, has it not the same right to say you shall not open at aH. /t is uiged by one class tha> j prohibition does not prohibit, well l why do they oppose /he adoption of the law, and why do liquor men hi general oppose prohibition, the testimony of all place- where it has l-een tried is against them and it is o lr opinion the good peo ple of t/winneit will euforcoitif it is adopted. It will probably lie violated in some ease*, so is the law forbidding murder, theft and othei crimes, and does net any reasonable man think these 'aws ought to be rebealed because they are violated, There is some who say they had rather moke a clean sweep of 7t, and they don't like foi it to be put in the hands of three druggist. The la,v does not say there shall De three nor even on , hut says the Grand Juiy may recommend not moro,tlmii three and the law js very tigh/ on those men, and we douot whether there is a man .hat will take the responsibilty for the profit which if sold as required by the act will 1 he small All of these objections are raised simply to dodge the real issue, some people if it is a little too i. uch for them to vote straight out for whiskey and they wunt to lind some objections to the law or bill (so they can dodge the issue.) The e is a few who say they don't want to vole it out, for they can not got a diam when they want it. Well we have re-peel for those however we differ in our judge ment, because they are making a square fight. The real issue is whiskey or no whiskey, aud we have not found a sing’e man who has heretofore been straighiout for prohibition, who opposes tl is bill the thing for the voters to look’at, is will it lessen crime, wid there be less money spent for liquor, will not the boys of our land be more apt lo make sober men without the bar room than with it, will it not lessen our court expenses, will it not stop a great many other vices which are associated with the bar room and which it takes wniskey to nerve a man before lie can commit. Fathers vote for prohibition, mothers urge the men to vote for it, your sons are not safe, and may //« who rules the destinies of the people streuginen those who ,ie in the right in this cause. Frank. READ .4ND HAND TO OTHERS The rum /raffic is a moral not a politicai issue. / am astonished to find men in almost every locali ty iu our land voting to license this damnable curse of rum sell in "—meu whose names are upon the church books, thereby profess ing to be folfowers of the meek and lowly Jesus. These same profess ors go to Ihe sanctuary and say “Our Father which art iu Heaven, hallowed be thy name,” and they go to their respective voting places and vo'e hat his name may not be hallowed; for, by licensing the devils work shop, they are most as suredly hallowing the name of sa tan. The next ssDtirce they utter is “T 1 y Kingdom Come,” and then go to the polls and vote that il shall not come, thereby assist ng the devil to establish his kingdom. Oh such consistency! AgaiD, “Thy will bo done on earth as it is in HeaveD,’ and vole that hie will shall not be done; for is it God s will, instead of attract ing youns men into reading-rooms prayer meetings, social and relig ious gatherings and other places which tend to elevate humanity socially* religiously and iuiellect ualy, we shall assist in licensing these hell-traps which lure the un suspecting boys away and drag them down unt ; l they bring dis grace upon their friends, and they themselves fill drunkard’s graves. And father, does any sane per' sol harbor the thought that there are saloons aud gambling hells in Heaven/ Some say “what an ab sured question!” That’s true, but is it as absurvd as to pray Alrnigh ty God tha' His w : ll may be done on earth as it is in Heaven, and then go straight lo tbe polls and vote 'o still fur: her extend the devils kiagdoD? “Give us this day our daily bread.” Tbe above sentence is uttered by high license chris/ians wiibon/ stopping to con ider that it means all, and not JOHN T. WIKSON. ,Tn , Publisher just the peisons uttering it, for wt see t mm rise up and vote to licen se the very business ihut take food from the tuoufhs aud raiment from the backs of poor families of those addicted to rum, And last, hut not least, we hear them say, “And lead us not into temptation, but diliver us from evil,’ Who in the name of all t hat is just and holy. (Jan feelingly utter these words, and then go and vote that the most dangerous temptation on God's foot stool shall be placed in every villiage m on every hill lop in the land from die evils ot which we cannot pesotally expect to he roleived as they exist in oui midst? Oh in consistent man! How long shall these things be? Let every true citizen of G winuett County of whatever political parly rise up aud assist in our noble effort to put down this giant evil by going to the voting places of your respect tion districts on ilia l()|h day of April and vote for prohibition. We won Id ask our friend Mr Hopkins to read a little more care ful that hook that beseems to have as a guide in his opositiou to the bill that it now before die people of Gwinnett in that same Bo«k he will find it written, Woe unto the man tbut, giieth his neighbor drit k that putteih the bottle to his mouth and makcdi him drunken also. The responsibility is taken from the County Commissioncs and plaoed upor. the legal vo ers of the county and the man who by his newspaper articles his influence or his vote appears prohibition is morally us guilty as the man tlnu stands behind the bar and yores the accursed stuff into his glass for his neighbor to drink. Woe unto tLe mau lint gives his influence <o support a t -affic that he s brought so much misery, poverty and deuth upon a land us the rum uaffic- REMININISCES. Editor Herald I have two objects iu view, in the following communication. First, to endorse what Mt. W. lias said of the cold Sa urday of 1835. vlml add one oc curence that made an indelible impression upon my mind, [I was a boy of a 5 years of age,] Mr Eli/ha Betts, who was the owner and gave the name to the old Warsaw Ferry, on the Chatraho chee river, had a very faithful jld fervent Phil, who was Ferryman He accidentally fell into the river, his friends pulled him out, and carried Lira to his cabin, about two hundred feet from the banks, removed his clothing, wraped him up in blankets before a log heap tire, administered whiskey very freely. Altei a considerable lengih of time, with a great diffi cul'y the circuit! ion was restored. Many of us thought him dead. He often remarked, afterward, th it he had been dead ; that he died without a pain but when he returned to conseiousnes, was ven painful. In less than ten minutes after his clothes was re moved, they would stand a/one. Ah travel was s/opped on that, day. Second, our memories are so treacherous and nearly every cold day you hear some one re mark. isn’t this the coldest weath er y u ever saw, or the hotest or the rainiest. If you would stop and think back for one month you have seen many of lie same sort. In 1851, I was younger than lam now, my mother, though life is enjoy the present wc can not tell .what tosmorrow m*y bring, our Christian eugagemen's commenced at the going out of the year 1850 and the coming iu of 1851 and looked from six to eight weeks tbe longest contiu | nous cold I have any lecollection The earth was covered with snow sleet and ice. and continued up to about March. Ist. No farm work or work of any kind could be done. That, summer nearly every fauniy in six cr eight miles next of Chattahoochee where there was soou for forty or fifty and paid our compliment to Mr. //cury and Isaac Strickland.

At the opening of spring, it was ihougfit that the wheal crop was entirely killed out and wheu the year left fields lock as clean as a yard, scratch down an inch or two you will iind.t plenty of green sprigs and as soon ts mild w eather set in it came out and growed rapidly, and ihe fieest wheat crop that year in my reoo lection.

A Mormon bishop told a friend of the editor of a Salt Lake of this, a few days age, that lie had suffer «d with the blues all day, because of something one of hi-.daughters had said to him. When asked to explain, he sat'd : “You kpow my daughter Mary, the eldest child of my second wife ? She is about the age of Lizzie, who is the daughter of my first wife. Well this morning I was going with Mary over to Lizzie's mother's when she suddenly said : “Father, I wish I was Lizzie." “I asked her why, and reminded her that she was quite as bright and prelty as Tizzie. “It.« not that, she said; Lizzie's mother i» your first wife.” “We did not spank again all the way, and I have had she blues ever since.” This a true story all but the names. DO YOU KNOW HIM ? There was a man In our town aulhe was wonderous. for when lie marked Lis prices down h« then did advertise, And when he saw his trade in crease, wish all his might and main, he marked still lower every price advertised again. And wheu he advertised again, his rivals stamped and tore, to see folks rise wi h might and main to patronise that store. And while they sal 'u solitude, and saw him custom in that man behind the couoter stood ard raked the shekels in. And whenne raked the shekels iu and saw his fortune rising, he took a goodly lot (J “tin,’’ and kept on adverrising. Each day a genuine sum hVd seek, and demonstrate full plain, the more one pays for printers ink the greater is his'gain.—-Sara toga Eeagle. A IT AND WISDOM.
