. lien I saw flint n local option election
had Im***u culled In.Baldwin county, my first
thought was one of undue**: but iny next
wss of gladness. A prohibition tight Is al
ways a good Ihlng. whether It he In At
lanta ur elsewhere, hern use It turns on the
light, nud thnt Is what tbe liquor business
can not stand.
You mtWmlter Joseph's word to his breth
ren; “Ye thought evil against ine, hut
God meant It uuto good."
Tbe liquor men have “thought evil" In
seeking to again fasten upon Baldwin
county the curse of legalised liquor traf
fic. but God means It for good.
In the light of nrojern leloiico. ns It
nluays has lu the light of experience and
revelation, alcohol stands condemned, and
there Is no recoininendstIon to mercy.
The liquor men themselves acknowledge
that there Is no: a ‘ingle argument on their
side.
A barkeeper sshl to a friend of mine
last summer:
for If I ffon'f I’ll in* forced out wlienev
it prohibition election I* called. The
blbltlonlsts art bound to win, nnd
ought to, for there Is nothing good
can say about tbe business and nothing
too mean to say about It."
A whisky drummer lu Dawson the other
day said to me;
•Y>! I acknowledge the argument la all
on your side."
The Atlanta Evening News, a whisky pa
per, In an editorial of December 7, warning
the city council of tbe danger of a prohibi
tion election In case tbe council refused
to accept certain suggestions with refer
cure to tbe regulation of the traffic, says.
"The prohibitionists can fight on bread
and water, hut It will eoat the I
over |100.'j00 cash to defeat tb<
election Is ordered."
There stands the statement unchallenged
that the only plea of the liquor crowd la
money. And we are yet to tie convinced
thnt the manhood of Baldwin county *
for sale.
Now is the time to teach the people
the latest scientific truth* with regard to
sh-nhol. Much bos been discovered by
science since your last election: You have
(Our eyes are but the window* to
our souln Immortal: And our faces but
the scrolls of our lives, bearing the
imprint of our deeds, both good and
evil.)
Last night the stars glowed brightly
In the blue of the*sky above,
But the light on your face was tenderer
Than that from the realms above.
And your eyes revealed the splendor of
heaven,
Came that light from your soul, my
love. -
Whatever Immortal gods there be
I repeatedly, yet uselessly, entreat.
Just the gift of one fond moment
In the which our souls may meet.
Must my pleading be ever In vain—
And my heart throbbing ever In pain—
Never feel the sweet balsam of gain?
Perhaps,, ’ils iQve*s hope commending
My feoul to fts labor unending
For joy's gjid sorrow's sweet blending
In the bliss of your Anal surrendering.
