IjOOK to your ballot.
In nearly all of onr local elec
tions there are numbers of tickets
thrown out because they do not
conform to the law. Those who
are against the liquir traffic will
vole, No Whiskey. Tuose who
favor it, For Whiskey.
HE WANTS TO DIE.
Gen. Grant is stiff lingering at
the threshold of death. His
family and physicians are con
stantly at his bed side, not knows
ing at what minute the supreme
hour may come. He meets his
end calmly and has uotified his
family that he desires to be hurried
at H r asbing;on. Extensive pre
parations are being made <jui»tly
for a grand funeral.
SHAKING A FILE.
England has two wars on hand
and a prospect fa* a third one.
Fiatce Lab her hai its full in
China. The Central America Re
publics are grapliug each others
throats, while Turkey is preparing

Egyptian troubles.
Blood is upon the -Moon and as
the United Sta'ca is not anxioas
to tackle any of the great pjwers,
she sends her war ships down to
Panama to have a little tusse)
with the half breeds that lounge
around Aspinwall. While the big
dogs are lighting the U. S. -ran af

Upon an examination of a -er
tified copy of the law sent the Or
dinary from the office of the secre
tary of State, in reference to the 1
prohibition of the sale of liquors
in Gwinnett, we find that it does
not prevent the manufacture of
liquor. The caption of the act, r
sets forth /hat it wt s intended 1
to prohibit beth the manufacture
and sale, bui iu the enacting
clause /he word manufacture is
stricken.
In the copy furnished us and
which we published in January.
This was intended but as stated
above the certified copy forward*
ed the Ordinary it is corrected
by striking the word manufacture.
We take it for granted that his
copy is correct, and if it is. the
law will not affect distilling.
We make this correction now,
in order that the people may un
derstand what they are voting on.
The majority for prohibition in
the recent election in LeKalb
coun/y was 315.
The Sena/e has adjourned and
Senators Colqui/t and Brown
have returned home.
Remember at the election next
Friday that every voter must vote
at his own precinct. A ballot cast
ouJeideof the district in which the
voter lives will be illegal.
Judge McKay Las returned to
Atlanta aud is restore! mentally
and phisicly. He will enter upon
the discharge of his office this fall
We are glad that die Judge has
regained his health.
The defeat of the French troops
in China has caused immense ex
citement in France aud especially
in Paris. The Ministry has re
signed, and the loss of 1200 troop?
is charged to the neglect and bad
management of the Government.
Rev. Sam Jones stirs up excite

jow carrying on a big revival at

Nashville, met with fuiious op.'
positions from leading minis'(r s
who do not like Sams way-
Congress should pass an act
giving the President the right and
power to veto special items appro
priation bill- Many joos are put
upon the country now by sticking
them into the appropiation bills.
With this special power granted
the Presidant could kill off all such
jobs. This however would inter
fere materially with the class of
Congressmen who favor such
jODS.
Wt- give up nearly all our space
this week to the discussion of the
prohibition quest ion. As the elec
tion will be held next Friday, we
could not give everybody a chance
to have their say before the vote
is cast, But we have been com
pelled for want of bpace to omit
three communications intended
for this issue. And i 1 will be too
late next week We have done
the best we could, for when a
newspaper in full, it is chock full.
TffE ELECTION NEXT FRI
DAY
WHISKEY OR NO WHISKEY.
On next Friday, the 10/h inst,,
the people of Gwinnett Cout ty will
settle at the b blot box. whether
whisky shall be sold in the Coun
ty
This is an important question
affecting every community and
neighborhood and we ought say
every family in t.e county. And
believing that a full and fair dis
cussion would result iu an inteli
gent conclusion, we Lave opened
our columns to both sides to pre
sent their views. The time for
notion has now come and the peo
ple ,*t»e to align themselves either
for or against tnis traffic.
As a public journalist we pro
pose to take our -tarul in favor of
what we beleive to be .he best iD
te est of society and tbe people
among whom we live.
There are some featuies of the
law, ui der which this election is
bold, we do not approve and would
not have ineoporated them in the
bill bad we drafted it, but dieso
can be amended by future legisla
tor, if the people determin that
Uie law shall become operative If
the liquor traffic is voted out such
changes, as experience shows may
be necessary, can be made in the
laav.
We propose to give some of the
reasons which control the Herald
in cas/ing its influence against the
| traffic. We have no war to moke
upon the men engaged in the bus
iness, some of these are our warm
friends, nod good citizens but en
gage in : is traffic because it is a
lawful business and one that is
very pi litable, The immense
profit of the traffic i# shown bv
the heavy Jiceose it pays and yet
prospers. The retail business in
our town pays a tax /his year of
£975,00. We know of no other
business that could s'and so heavy
a tax and yet d profitable. They
h ive paid the license and are en
titled to he protected in their bus
iuoss until that licanse expires.
Rut it is the rght of the people to
say whether other license shall be
granted to them or other persons
to continue the traffic. And that
is what the people are to pass on
at the election.
Since the recent eieciou in De
Kalb all of the adjoining counties
except Walton are prohibition
Counties. Iu Newton it is only
sold in Covington. Now if Gwin
nett, or that fart of it where whis
key can be sold, is to furnish the
still houses and drinking estab
listiai nts for our neighboring
couuties, iu will bring them crime
and rowdyism here and our crimi
jnal docket and jaii will be full
while the people pay the expenle
by heavy taxatiou.
Asa citizen who has been idem
tified with /he county for thirty
years and who expects to make
this bis future home, we do not de
sire to see such a state of society
as it will produce.
We beleive in the largest persou
al liberty of the citizen consistent
witfc die good order and peace of
society, but society sometimes has
claims, which override private
rights and p rsonal convenience.
This law dot;-, not oblige a man's
right to drink if he wants to, but
it does say that the barsrocm s
must go—that these placeb ol nub
l'c resort where men assemble to
drink and carouse sballnot exist in
this count y.
Now let us look at this traffic
calmny and dispasionately. Who
does it benefit and who does it in
jure ? If all men cou/d drink ii
temporally there would be nc ne
cessity for any law regulating it,
but it i- a habit when once cono
tracted is the most difficult of all
habits so cut loose from, and it
gre ws upon men so rapidly that
n-me out of ten who drink at all
will sometimes driuk too much,
while some loose all self contro’l
and make beasts of themselves.
According to the recent report
of the Grand Jury there are seven
licensed groceries in this county.
The proprietors of none of these
will claim that they are the ob
jects of public charity. If theie
is a disabled soldier or uripple en- i
gaged in the business, we do not i
know i*. All of them have some
capit a I and are able to make a
living in other occupaoous.
There »ae only seven men can be
injured and tliey may continue
business until their license expire
ai whicn time they have no more
right than three thousand othe
citizens of the county.
Who does this traffic injure ?
It would require the pen of an
Angel truthfully topovtiay the pain
and suffering, misery and di., teas
that fol win tb6 train of this traf
tic.
We have lived in a town fu- tliir
ty years where Lquor was freely
sold and know from oL .ervation
and experience some of the evils at
I tending it. Asa lawyer we have
seen it* victims sent down to toe
gallows, the penetet tiary and chain
gang, whin our henr/s Died for
them. It makes brutes of
dethrones lcflfov, raps the vita
energies of Mio strong man and
sends hundreds down to untimely
graves. It beggars innocent wo
men and children, breaks the
hearts of mothers, who see their
sons go down iu dissipation and
brings the gray hairs of the fat he r
ir. sorrow to the grave; it ruins
the happiness of families and
blasts tlie fairest prospects of our
brightest young men.
If there w„s no other reason for
desiring to see the traffic stopped
a sufficient one would be that i/ is
corrupting the yonng men and
, boys of the country, who ore con
tracting a habit that will stick to
them like the shirt of Nes-us.
We have seen an hundred of
! them start out with high hopes
1 and bright prospects, who strand
■edin a bar-room, made a wreck
i cf oil their bright hopes an d either
fi'led an untimely grave or are
wandering vagabonds to day. Do
they never reform ? Yes, but it
is easier to guard ten boys from
contracting the habit than reform
one.
I
It is said that men who want
whiskey will have it. This is prob
ably true but when yon remote
the temp/ation for their daily path
way, even those accustomed to its
use, will soon forget it, but as long
as it stands in their way, appetite
will some times gat the better I
judgement and tbe man whose 1
re-olutions were as as a rock i
yesterday is but a rope of sand to
day.
But wo are told “it will injure
the business of the town.’’ This
is not /he experience elsewhere. •
We can furnish a dozen instances j
in this state where the traffic has
beet stopped ard /lie business 1
improved. And /here is good
reason for it. These men who
were accustomed to wast their
time and mocoy laying around
town, go to work and instead of
guzzeling their err vug down their
throats and gob -> home drunk to
abuse their fan I ■-**>, jhey tookeviry !
dollar and lei 1 it out iu ne •« a a ies
f-r their wiv<-a and children. Thus
they were blessed and their fami
lies elevated in the soci il scale as
well as provided with food and
clothing. Men who could not
get credit fora plug of tobtcco
before were trusted for a dollars
worth of Coffee and paid fur it.
This is the experience at other
places and will be hero no doubt.
But ever if it did injure business,
he is a very poor citizen .vho is
willing to see his neignbors and
bis neighbors children go down to
misery and want in erder that he
may make a dollar or two.
11ns county has been knowii as
a whisky making, whisky loving
and whisky drinking county for
half a century. We have seen tbe
evil effects of its manufacture and
sale. vVe have seen hundreds of
men dragged’to -Hlanta and lodg
ed in jail and whole neigbbir
hoods ruined by ono illicit still
Let us try the other line awhilt-
Let's try prohibition for two years
' and then if the people are not
j satisfied, it will be an easy mallei
to send men to /lie Legislature
j who will ask a repeal of the law
or that another vote be hud upon
j the question. If after abandon
ing the tiaffic for two years, Gw in
ne't returns to it, she will do more
i than auy county in Georgia has
j ever done before.
WHERE IS HULLO RE ?
We published i n iute view some
time since with Henry //oleome
who had just returned from Flori
da and while H eriry colored some
things up in rather graphic style,
there was more truth than poetry
in it. 2’he interview was copied
by a lmge number of papets in
the state and seems to have fal
len iuto the hands of the Orange
County Reporter. The editor
Mr. Gore seems disposed to gore
f/enry a little as will be seen
from the following extract. Now
let Henry come forward aud we
will give him a chance to gore Mr.
Gore some There are several
poiuts about which Henry has not
hud a chance yei to be heard from
fully.
“Some one sends us a clippiig
from the Atlanta Constitution,
which gives part of an interview
with HenryC Holcome. The por
tion sent cuts the rtport of Mr.
Holcome short off just wheis it
becomes intensely interesting. It
is useless to attempt to Jo justice
to the statement of this gentle
man. He dwarfs all former at
eir.pts upon Florida, and cooly
wulks off with all the doughnuts
in the pan. Joe Muthittan has
gone out of business aud hired
himselt to a scissors grinder. Eli
Perkins has cut his hair, aud hired
a little on. -horse skating rink
Poor old Auanias, the father of
1 them all, has gathered his eento
'ered ashes together and turned
green because he lived several
geuera/ion- two soon, and died
before the use of steam was intro
duced into Lis business. Tom
Ochiltree was good for a single
dash. Mulhatton has made some
i startling spurts, at d Eli Perkins
j has exhibited wonderiul staying
qualities But for style bottom
j and loyal‘get there’ Holcome is
: the winner. He should be girded
about the loins with a saddle
blanket, and have a wreath of
crab grass placed upon his brow."
PREHID INTIAL APPOINT
MENTS.
The following appointments
nave been made the Piesidont and
j confirmed by the Senate.
Cen.J. S. Johnson Commission
er of Railroads. Gop. . Henry R.
Jackson,of Gt. Minister to Mexico.
Gen. Waller, of Conn., consul to
London. Is me V. Be 1, of Rbo la
Island Minister to Netherlands
E. P. C. Lewis, of A’ew Jersey
to Portugal. R. B, Anderson, o’
Wisconsin to Denmark. T. J.
Jarvis, of North Carolina, to Brazil.
A. M. Keely, of Virginia to Italy
(len. A. R. Lawton of Georgia*
was nominated as Minister to
Russia, but the Senate committee
reported against i*, on the ground
that the general's disabilities bad
tot been teinoved. The Pieeiden/
theu withdrew the nomination
It appears tb it President John
son granted Gtn. Lawton a full
pardon but his disabilities l ave
not been removed by an act of
Congress. As tho pardon was
granted before the law was passed
i squiring such removals, it is the
opinion of leading lawyers chat he
has no disabilties to remove and
that he is elligible to that or any
other office under the government.
The appointment was one of
which the people of Georgia were
proud and there is a general re
giot that any trouble arose over
his eligibility
Capt. E. P. Howell of the At
lanta Cons/itution, was appointed
Consul at Manchester England.
This is a first class consula/e and
it is a distinguished honor worth
ily bestowed. We hope he will
accept the position although we
dislike to lose him from the Con
s/itntion.
The republican press before
Preside® ial elec/ions since the war
made it a rule to clamor about
turning over tho government, to
hungry democrats. They are now
startled wbeu they set at Wash
ington during the Democratic ad
ministr ition fewer hungry demo
crats, than they saw, hungry re
publicans during the fir-t mouth of
either Grant’s, Hayes or Garfields
administrsti ns.
Interesting memorial services
were held lust week in Hall Sn s
pei'ior Court in memory of Col.
E. M. Johnson the Nestor of that
bar.
Eugene Beck, who brnta/ly
inurd red nis wife and sister-in
law in Rabun county last year,
while on adrunken spree coni it. ued
his case over at 'he Court a/ the
receni term of the court. The
prejudice is very strong against
him.
