Th0~.aG Crisis.


It is we'll known that the City
Council some time ago made an ordi-
nance fixing the price oflicense for the
sale Of liquors at $500 1t was expect.
ed that this would be practical prohi-
bition, and such it has proved to be.
Some seven or eight of the saloons
have been closed, but there remain
open nearly . dozen more, At oil Of
which liquor has been sold daily since
the license expired. This il just what
we expected; it is perfectly natural
that tho saloon keepers should not
only violate but disregard the law;
their business teaches that as q theory,
and requires it in practice therefore
none were surprised At the attempt
last Saturday night, to suppress by
mob violence, the attempt made by
the ladies to procure evidence upon
which to base prosecution. 4 bad
cause always resorts to lavlessness, be-
fore it will listen to reason. It has
always been 20. Whiskey has caused
more than one rebellion, and may
cause many more. This rebellion
against law, and these indignities
*heaped upon iudivid uals, will bring
their ripened .ruit in dse season. In
this age Of the world all just law is
omnipotept. Men may violate it for =
day, or month, but they cannot hope
to succeed. Ultimately they must
yield. Civil authority is selEsustain-
ing, and the men who forget their OBJ
legations az citizens, aud array them
selves against the law, must not
expect its protection on the elem.
ency Of Of its administrators. From
this time forward re shall expect in.
creased vigilance on the part of the
Temperance people, and more vigor in
the prosecution of those who sell liq.
uor contrary to the provisions Of law.

We regard the late riotous demon
stration here by the liquor men, as an
eff"rt to intinnidate the City Council
and to get the price Of license reduced
to 500. In view Of this wo Say

more subvers;ve Of good government
than such q step. If these men want
to sell liquor let them pay the license,
or violate the law aud take tho conse

Pic Mic at Concord Factory

MR.. EDIToR-The picnic at Concord Fac
tory last Saturday will long be remembered by
the members of j. E. Johnston Lodge, /. O. G.
t. Of Smyrna.
The Superintendent, Jas. Earnshaw, and
owners, Rice, Love q Co., OF the Factory
showed their appreciation of the picnic and Of
the cause of temperance by stopping the clash
and clangor oftheir machinery and participate
ing in the pleasures ofthe day, which consist
ed in enjoying ourselves any way, and any
where, that suited us in the vicinity OF the Fac
tory and Mill. And by the way more ro
mantle place could not have been chosen for q
picnic.
The principal enjoyment of the day consist
ed in boat riding and hoat-racing. There were
three new boats on the Ruff Mill Pond, viz;
"Happy Go Lucky" "Blu Tale FIJI" and "Cic
Ada" The young gents and young ladies rode
over the pond in the boats to their satisfaction
Chat is a goodly number of them) until even
ing when there were several races run. did
not witness but one of the races and that was
by Gus Earnest and Mr.. Norman, oarsmen OF
the ''Blu Tale FIJI" and NJ. l.. Ruff, Jr., and
lack Congo, oarsmen of the "Happy Go
Lucky The last named boat beat the race
amid great applause from the large crowd that
had assembled to witness it. / did not stay un-
til night, but was informed that number of
the young folks had rousing hop when the
evening shades came on.
With an earnest desire for the success and
prosperity of your noble JOURNAL, / am
respectfully, JAS. T. DAVENPORT

,seeingis Believing.

Ifin thiss libsrat aga allmte are persons to be
found who are so blinded by prejudice ms not
to believe that a medicated stimuiant is an item
of immense Importance IN the catalogue 81
human remedies, we should like them 10 witness
the wonderful effect which Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters are spow. produeing,sell over
the country In casesef intArniitteht fever, rbeu
matism, bilious disorders, edyspepsia,@ nervous
complaints, constitutional debility, mental de.
preston and premature decay. To be sure
these effects are nothing new. The great
vegetable invigornt and its cures have been
before the people for more than twenty-ii i've
years, and in every year OF the twenty-five
It's popularity has increased and its sale has
become larger. Yet there are no doubt many
thousands ofintellgent citizens who have never
had an opportunity of observing tor themselves
the surprising changes which this unequaled
tonic and Alternative produces in systems which
seem to be hopelessly broken, and in cases OF
disease which are not amenabe to ordinary
remedies Probably many of these regard the
statements made in relation to the sanitary
properties of the Bitters with some degree of
Incredibly. Would that all such skeptics
could see with their own eyes what the medi-
cine is doing for the sick and feeble everywhere,
what staff of life it is proving to the aged and
infrm, what help in time OF trouble to feeble
woman suffering from the complaints and
disabilities peculiar to the sex, what protec-
ton to health and life in malarious districts,
what a panacea for languor and depression,
what a specific for all diseases in which the
system requires to be vitalized and sustained
OF all stimulants it is the pnrest and safest, of
all tonics the most genial effective and agree
able, of all alternatives the least Violent and the
most certain in its beneficial results.

For Governor.

Our announcement of Hon. w. ID. Anderson,
of Cobb, for Governor, seems to have struck
the popular heart with approval We have
not heard dissenting voice, and one or two
of the press speak in very complimentary
terms of him. Mr.. Anderson won a wide
spread fame as member of the Georgia Legis-
lature in battling for his native State in her
darkest hour of radicalism, carpet-bag rule and
oppression. The noble service he done then
can neNsr be forgotten. He is truly an eloquent
speaker, great thinker and an able lawyer
As Speaker pro. tenn. the Legislature, he did
himself credit; as Confederate soldier he was
distinguished for bravery and carries dis
abled hand from wound received in battle,
and as citizen and christian, he is all the
most exacting critic could wish. Dignifed,
generous and upright, he would make one of
the best Governors Georgia ever had. North
Georgia is entitled to the nominee and VIM. d,
Anderson is the man.
