DISFRANCHISEMENT
BRINGS PROTEST
By request of Senator Felder the dis
franchisement bill, ths special order
for Tuesday, went over and was made
the special order for Thursday Immedi
ately after the reading of the Journal
A very strong petition prepared by
prominent colored men and signed by
H. H. Proctor, chairman, was presented
to the senate. It protests against the
passage of the disfranchisement bill,
and sets forth n number of cogent
reasons from the vlewpMnt of ths ob
jectors. In the prefaco It Is stated:
"We object to this bill because It Is
a cunningly devised scheme to dis
franchise the negro, not because he Is
Ignorant, corrupt or poor, but simply
because he le a negro. Indeed, shame
less boasts were heard from evary po
Ittlcal stump In Georgia that the
scheme would not disfranchise a sin
gle white man, but almost evrty black
man. That la nothing but claas legis
lation.”
Then the following reaaona are given
for not passing the bill:
"1. It le unnecessary and would be
provocative of political agitation and
racial strife. It to claimed that dis
franchisement la already practically of
effect through the white primary.
'2. It la unjust nnd would tend to
disturb labor conditions and retard tho
cooperative movements for law and
order. It appears to be fair, yet at
heart It Is most foul. It means what
It does not aay, and says what It does
not mean. At heart It le a stab at our
race.
"I. It Is undemocratic and would tend
to subvert the principles of popular
government. It exalts the soldier above
the civilian, and clothes the registrar
with dangerous powers.
“4. It Is undemocratic and would In
spire national litigation.
"6. Chiefly, thta measure comes short
of the true Ideal of civic virtu*, and
would have a morally degrading effect
on the young men of the state.”
It Is Anally declared that the petl
tinners favor purifying the ballot bi x,
but only by laws that take away the
franchise from the venal white man
and negro alike.
With a notes llko a wilted collar, the
thermometer broko Its own record
Wednesday, touching the >8 mark at
o'clock. Just half a degree above the
former record for the year held by
Monday. At last reports the mercury
was on the rise and before the end ot
the day may go to 99 degrees.
One hardly needed a thermometer to
tell tlml It was the hottest ilny of the
year. Everywhere the people moppet!
I lielr faces and ejoculated. Most of
them laid It to the legislature.

tllMes Jegftle and Eunice Jgfinlnffi. of
To the Editor of The Georgian:
It has been stated by certain par
ties that a majority of the business
men of Munroe were In favor of local
option nnl therefore oppoeed to the
Covington-Hardman etate prohibition
bill. Thle le not true, and we want It
known. There are not a dozen men In
our town who oppose the bill referred
to. and I think It safe to eay that from
76 to 90 per cent of the white voters
in the county are In favor of the puss-
ego of the bill at this time.
The voting out of liquor In 1894, In
our town and county, haa been one of
tho greatest factor* In making us the
commercial and manufacturing center
of this part of the country, and our
population haa more than trebled slnco
then within the corporate limits of tho
city of Monroe. The county le now ono
of the moot prosperous and law-abid
ing In the etate, the prohibition law
being enforced, perhaps, better than
any criminal law In our code, much
better than the law against gambling
and carrying pistols.
But in the face ot all this, the cry of
our men, women and children la against
tho shipment of the "damnable stuff”
into our city and county, and they
know that state prohibition will. In a
