A Homer cone>pondcnt writes as
follows : Homer is one of the n ost
peaceful and orderly towns in the
btate. Since the sale of spirituous
liquors was stopped, in 1876, by the

license, our town h.ns improved mo’-

the value of real estate in the county
advanced to an average fnr above

DOES PROHIBITION PROHIBIT?
Expeiience teaches that it does
not. Nevertheless, it is a move in
•he right direction —a move towards
the consumation of that, which, eve
iry good citizen who realizes the
enormity’ of the wrongs Inflicted up
on socity, by the sale anil intemperate
use of alcoholic drinks will not hesi
tate to sustain. But in order to
make the move still more effective, a
public sentiment must back it; a
public sentiment that will he vigi
lent to watch and bring to justice and
punishment.violation, infractions and
attempted evasions of the law.
Thomas Jefferson once said, “The
habit of ,intemperance by u.en in
office, has occasioned more injury’ to
the public, and more trouble to me,
than ail other causes; and were I
to commence uy administration
again, the fust question I would ask
respecting a candidate for office
would be, does he use Ardent Spir
its.”
T> at resolution of Jefferson should
he pnt in practice by every voter in
the United Sta’esand the term, use.
should be broadened to embrace not
only the individual use, but also its
corrupt use in riebu itching vo
ters. It has been demonstrated that
while prohibition is good as far as
it g< es. It stops far short of the de
sired rciults, especially in election
times. Those who witnessed the
protracted debauch incident to the
late election, realize that the hope of
advancitg the dependent classes of
our community upon a higher plain
of civilization, thus elevating the
general tc.ne of sveiety, is futile so
long as this class is subject to the evil
influence of frt quent,protracted, and
free debauches, which are positively
disastrous to the general public; as
well as absolutely dest uctive to the
debauchcee. lam satisfied there are
eight hundred voters in Douglas
county, who condemn the use of ar
dent spirits as an deetionering as
sistant. Now let us put the seal of
our coi damnation upon the prac ice.
Let some one in each pre< inct circu
late a declaration, pledging ourselves
not to vole for-a candidate, who as a
candidate, treats or < tiers to treat a
voter, either at a public bar, or from
a private pocket grocery.
Two hundred published t-ignatjres
to such a declaration, would accom
plish more towards the suppression
if the use of Ardent &piiii-s for cor
rupt purposes; for the candidate who
would disregard the public protest
of eight hundred of bi* constituents,
would thereby express his own un
worthlnvSs and utter unfitness f,r
any public trust.’ Tne end and
means, both being goo- 1 , uo j istifica
tion is needed. Tin* pu die would be
benefitted, the c. ndi'kite would be
b'*mfited, and eket d upon his own
merit, and last, tho’ uy no means
least, the poor dnpu who sells bis
vote for a curse up m himself an I his
family, finding no mtrlfet. would
have a chance if he had the disposi
tion, to become a respectable meui
b. r of society.
Herald: While some of
the other counties m Georgia have
been having their sensations, old
Jackson now 8 vps to the front and
produces hers. On last vdnesday,
while some negroes w< re clearing up
a field on what is known as the
Flournoy place, in Clarkes’oro
district, of this county, they came
across a tree that looked rather pe
culiar so much so that they spared
it from the rava-es of the «x. Mr.
Martin, who now owns the place,
came to where they were working
and examined the tree. The tree is
about fifteen feet high and nine
inches in diameter, and the li übs
commence at the distance of fl-e feet
from ilie ground, and look like the
br-inchcsof the regular cotton plan - ,
a, d each limb Iks cotton b< 1s ;
thickly stock on it, in which is j
hidden away the finest kind of cut-1
ton. equal in quality to any ever
rais d iu the South. The limbs arc
about as t hick on it as those of a
cedar tree. The discovery of this
tree has created a great sensation
and parties are coming from long
distances to gt t some of ti e seed to
she if luey can’t rai*e some tre< a
like this one. We have a specimen
of the cotion in this . w 1 l»
any one can see. Mr. Martin, who
uave the informal ion to ns. is one
of the moat reliable ci iz -ns of the
county, and say« Uieee who are
inclined to be incredulous can see
f*r themselves by making a visit to
the place. If we g-t to raising cotton
on tree*, what will <ome nvx . «e
most rm-pectfullly ask.
