; Mr.B .all this talk about western
oopf is stuff—the merest stutt. We can
and do grow as good beef arid miittcp;
as good rich milk and batter m Georgia
as any where in the United States.
>■ Mr, 8.. perhaps, is trying taffy on
his northern'arid western guests, Geor
gians can stand aside Tatum tabes a
larger and more patriotic view—he is
loosing to Ceorgia’s interest. We want
more such legislators —men who dare
to protect tho interest cf their own peo
ple and present the many impositions
that are put Upon us day by day in al
most every artiale of favor. If Mr. l’>
will read the Congrestional Record and
see the testimony of these western men
before Congress as to the adulteration
df lard, the use of cholera hogs' ami
Starving beeves when in transit, I think
bo will agree with sir. Tatum in ex
cluding “dressed beef ”,
Let the Atlanta dealer do his own
slaughtering. Atlanta is the capital—
we are all proud of her, but thank God
she is not yet the state, nor is M. B. the
only innkeeper. Bermuda City
Koom tbo Walker Count y Messenger.
Watch the smoke of Tatum of
Dade, tie has introduced a bill to
prohibit the ehippment of dressed
beef Into the State The business is
in the hands of monopolists, and it
has the effect not only of ruining the
cattle industry, one of the most im
portant of our State, but enabled the
Westerman to kill and ship to our
marekts diseased beeves that have
been condemned in their home mark
ets.
from the Valdosta Times.
A member of the Georgia legisla
tor has introduced a bill to prohibit
dresed beef from being shipped into
the State.
iWe suppose this is a drive at Ar
mour’s beef, and on the line of "pro
tecting home industries” which lat
ter doctrine has not found favor in
the South and never ought to. It is
something to put a prohibitive pro
tective tariff an goods from foreign
countries and it is something a great
deal more extreme although on the
same line, to prohibit one state from
shipping goods into another.
Should this wild scheme become
3xed on our statue books, a farmer
over in Hamilton or Madison connty
Florda, could hot sell $$ quarter of a
beef to his neighbor just across the
Jipe in Lowndes.
Mr. Tatum'** hill will be knocked
out in the first round, as it should be.
From the Atlau Constitution.
Editors Constitution— Without
question the wisdom of the hill re
cently introduced into the legislator
to prohibit thoJUnportation of beef
from other states into Georgia., I beg
to say that before the bill is put to
its final passage its scope ought to be
enlarged sc as to exiend its ben. Its
more widely. The importjen of
dressed beaf interferes with what
might be—though it is not—Georgia

a great oversight ill the statesman
who drew the hill to emit the greati r
and include the less. '1 he principle
of the lull is doubtless correct, and it
ao, it ought to be applied to every
thing to which it is applicable. This

of Irish fish from Mobile, Pensacola

achusetts might be allowed, as that
fish is not found on the Georgia
coast. The same prohibition ought
also to be put on dressed wheat, oth
erwise called flour, and also on ■ hay

Wouldn’t you my dear Captain?
Our autnority for one of the
questions that was asked was a
man by the name of Wooten and
ou asking him if he would make
an affidavit to what he said his re
plv was, “I don’t like too. I work
for the company when I cant get
work any where else, and if they
should find ou: that I was telling
on them they would not let me
have work.”
That was the man that told the
editor of The Times how you whip
ped five convicts one Monday, ev
ening. And as you would hit their
naked back with your strap you
would dip it into water to keep
it soft and so it would bring a yell
from them when ever it would
come in contact with their naked
bodies.
We have good and reliable wit
nesses to his telling this in the
presence of two of our business men
