In that strong Christian faith which has made her

Various UountUs.
At the recent elate temperance convention, re
ports were mado of the condition ol thetemper-
once movement In every part of the state. Iu no
fnctance*waa there a report of a retrograde move
ment or a relaxation oi tbe eflbrts of the
trlcnda ol prohibition to gain complete
control of every connty in Georgia. The follow
fng expressions from prominent delegates to a
Constitution reporter are samples oi the general
t8lk among the two hundred men who represented
the organized temperance movement in this state:
xrmoRAX county.
Rev. J. B. McGehee, a delegate from Effingham
connty, stated tbat he was from a "dry" county.
Prohibition had worked well. The people are
sober and industrious. They do not own a jail
now. The auperior court lasts only a day or two;
Asa sober, benevolent citizenship they favor ex
tending the benefits of prohibition to every town;
city and connty in the state. On this they are de
termined. If political parties go with them, they
will be welcomed and well treated; but if (her
will not—lf they oppose prohibition-onr spirit U

. CLAYTON COUNTY.
6Ute Ben a tor W. A. Tiguer said:
The effect of prohibition in Clayton county has
been all tbat the most sanguine temperance men
expected. We have a quiet, orderly and peaceful
community, and crime and IU attendant expense
and disturbance baa largely ceased. VYearq per
fectly satisfied with the operation of our local pro
hibitory law, and would be greatly bencfltted if
adjoining counties from whence some liquor
come to our county, had tbe evil prohibited In
their midst.
PIKE COUNTY.
Mr. W. H. Woodall, a delegate from Pike coun
ty, raid:
Prohibition haa prevailed In the rural districts
of Pike county for five yean, and throughout the
entire connty daring the last twelve months, snd-
bas produced not only satisfactory bnt most grati
fying rcmlU.Onr last grand jury congratulated our
connty on the good order and harmony prevailing
within its fcordcrs.Tlme has proven that the argu
ments offered by the opponenU of prohibition,
such as "loss ol trade, prohibition doej uot pro
hibit," otc., are erroneous. Our proplo are more
rober. more peaceful and more industrious now
ttan before prohibition prevailed, and onr people,
wbJakyimn and prohibitionists, aro now almost
unanimously ratlafied with the workings of onr
prohibition law.
conn county.
A delegate from Cobh connty said:
We had a hard time to carry Cobb for prohibi
tion. Tin Constitution predicted a prohibition
victory In Whitfield, bnt said it was surprised to
see Cobb go "dry." It would not have been sur
prised If it bad known how our hearts were given
up to the work, and bow tealonaly we labored to-
accomplish tbe result. Tho result has exceeded our
moat sanguine expectations. Wbilo not one of tho
t*d remits predicted to occur from the success of
the prohibition imminent has happened, we are
constantly finding new benefit*. It the people were
to rote on the qneatlon again we would carry the
county by a largely Increased majority.
UPSON COUNTT.
Mr. Hardaway, of Upson, said the people of that
ccnnty had elected commissioners who would not
Dane liquor licenses, and tho county was, there
fore, tafe for four years to'oome. It will bo safe
thin, for the sentiment la constantly growing in
favor of prohibition. Borne of the men who used
to fight It moct strenuously aro now its avowed
advocates. We have found ont what a good thing
it Is and wc don’t mean to give it up.

Mr. J. R. Wikle, oi Bartow, said: W?e .carried
prohibition in our county altera hard flight by
only two votes. It works liko a charm.
Prohibition has btcnlncflcct too short a time to
tell what eflectlt will have on the business of the
town, but I am aura It will be beneficial. Every
thing now point* that way. , z
As an evidence that prohibition haa grown in’
favor in Bartow county, it is now the opinion
