It is saia that the Fulton delegotiou will bp unanimous in opposition to the measure, as both mobtyfcleniat* and antbprohibitiooiet of (he city fiavq.expressed a.willingnes s to abide by the local option law as adopted last Novem ber, ami gjve prohibition, as then adopted, fair, trial, Tbe . announcement that tho legislature would probably grapple ‘with Atlanta's prohi bition cxperiwcDt was received with considera ble interest in tho city yesterday. Tha pro posed measure of Ibr. Felton to levy a tax of $10,000 on all winerooms was generally die* curat'd on tbe streets, and .received both favora blc and antagonistic-comment. Among them a well-known and enthusiastic prohibitionist said yesterday, in speaking of the subject: ‘T sincerely hope that tho amendment will he adopted and that the winerooms will be ( forced out of existence. They arc not only injuriouet in their uorul cficct, but they offer a ch ar and legal method of defeating the very intent of prohibition. Tho rooms open Just as were tho l rooms and offer the same induementa entice the weak as did tbe barrooms. It is true that no whisky is sold, but tlio stuff ther do eel I is mono thun whisky, in thut it not only him the same effect on the system, but is ubo, iu ruauy instances, an nl>solu'te and quick poison.

One of tbo latter said yeaterday: ‘J am strongly against the effort to levy a tax of $10,000 on the wiue rooms, and liavj no idea that the legislature will do such a thing. I voted fur prohibition, and havo n » ipgict that 1 did so. but when I voted for it* I hnant to give it a lair trial for two years. The anti-prohibitionists accepted the result of tho election in good faith, and as a w. olo they arc now os much in terested in acting the law enforced as are the prohibitionists. The bill which was dfctwii by the strongest prohibitionists of tue ls>t legislature, gave the eight to sell domestic wine*.

It was to govern a city where t hi ce-foUrths of the arrests wero made on a©- count of drunkenness. I can gdvern mysolfbut I have to pay $425 a year to he protected from tbe criminal classes, mado criminal through rum. I was lecturing out in Kansas lost spring, Where they havo prohibition. An intemperate man came to me one day and said: Yes, Mr. Perkins, this prohibition will bring ruin to the state.” “It will, will it?” "Yes, it will impoverish tut and destroy one bpsiners hottres.” "Now, let** see about this, my friend,” I Haiti, I.et’s examine this a little. If a Kansas former bring* a thou rand bushels of corn te TupCka, he gets bow much for It?” I "Fbur hundred dollars;” answered my friend. | "Now. if they take this thousand over to Ikorio, how much whisky will it^make?” * 1 "Pour thousand gallons.”' "And this whisky is Worth—how ranch?” i f*0, after they have paid $4,000 revenue tax op it to the other thirty-six states, it will be Worth about $1,600. ; "Ami if this whisky should dome bock te Manias yon would have to pay about $1,630 for Would it be worth anything to your citi ■ ’‘No; I suppose it* would cause a great deal of idleuraa aud crime. It would-hurt us. 1 never, did think whisky a positive benefit. I—” "Weil, I’ll tell von,” I said. "It will hart ynp directly about $5,000 worth. You would soli the corn from which this whisky U made far 4 >400, and then buy bock tho whisky for $3,030. You would be directly out of pocket just $4,600. Aid, indirectly, it would cost Kansas, in kilo- nets and crime, canoed by the four thousand gallons of whisky, about $20,000. It would tike lfoOt 0 men a day apiece to drink it up, if they drank a quart a day each. The loss of ltl.OJO days’ tutor to Kansaa would be $20,000, wouldn’t H?” VBy heavens!” exclaimed my friend, "I never heard it put in that way. I soo it ail plainly now. I’ll never say anything about prohibi- tlun denaging Kamos again.” "Yes," 1 said, “if Kansas can save $25,000 on every thousand bushels of corn by letting it go over to Peoria, tho more she is damaged that way tbe richer she will become, until finally Illinois, utterly impoverished, will have to cull on Kansas to lend her money to build her r oihcufcs. But there Is one thing iu raid, “that will be ruined by prohibition. 1 Wbst ithat?" asked my fricud. Why, her poorhouses. Your poorhouso.fi and jails will become empty.
