G WINN El T HERAL D. TUESDAY, APRIL 7, 1885 T M. PEEPLES. EDITOR 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 m» aid England m her unfoitnnuto 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 ford to shake a lice. thbTwhiskTbill. 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 ment wbereever he goes- He Beems to be irrepressible. Bo : e jow carrying on a big revival at Knoxviile, Tenn., while an irvita- Ron fur him tony his ban lin 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. Praclamotion, GEORGIA, Gwinnett County. (Ordinary* Office) La whence ville.
