A Clergyman's Appeal for It's Annul-
ment-Rev. j. p. strider's views Of
Temperance.
Rev. J. p. strider discouHed on the
.sLiquor License at Trinity Methodist
Church last night, under the auspices Of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. A fair audience was present.
The speaker was introduced by the pastor,
Rev. T. T. Christian, and at once pro-
ceeded to depict the evils Of intemperance
and to argue against the policy Of the law
which authorizes the granting Of license
for the sale Of intoxicating liquor. The
lecture occupied over an hour and hall IN
delivery, and was a mastery arraignment
Of the law makers Of the State, who, by
their legislation. permit the liquor license
law 70 have a place on the statute DOCKS;
In the course OF his argument the reverend
gentleman remarked that laws are passed
70 secure the liberty Of the subject, ana
among other liberties which are guaran-
teed is the privilege 70 sell whisky ana
other intoxicating drinks.
The guarantee is given IN response 70
the demand Of a large number OF people,
who assert that the poor man should not
he derived Of his whisky. The laws OF
GeOrgia and or the United States, the
speaker observed, authorizes the exist
once Of quarantine stations at which YES
sells arriving from infected ports
are obliged to report, IN order
that the health Of those on
| hoard NAV be ascertained and precau-
tons taken to prevent the lntroductlon OF
malignant feyers and other forms OF CHS
! ease. These quarantine laws are viola
ton Of the rights usually accorded 70
| sbIDping. but are enacted 10 protect
/ the life Of every person IN
| fhe community. The people sane
/ ton the enactment Of those laws, ana
| they are unquestiOned. The liberty OF
| every person on the ship, however, Is CIR
! cumscribed for the time being by the Inn
/ its of the quarantine station, only to pro-
/ tect the public. A farmer owns a tract
/ of land upSn which there is swamp
| which exhales malarial poison and dis
| seminates disease among the residents Of
/ the adjacent city. The law steps in and
| commands the swamp to be drained OF
/ the pond Of water to be filled up, and
/ there is no protest that the liberty Of the
/ farmer has been taken away. The laws
| DrOhibit the killing Of birds at
| certain seasons Of the year, and prescribe
/ how certain kinds Of fish shall be
Il taken from the water. If protest Is ut
i tered the authority Of the state voices the
| sentiment Of the public, and declares that
/ the liberty Of the subject must De second
/ ary in view of the requirements Of the
| general public. And yet, with hundreds
/ Of grOg-shOps daily selling whisky and
/ other poisonous drinks, the general
sentiment Of the community as expressed
/ by the law is the license for the sale of IN
toxicating liquors shall be granted. The
speaker pictured the unfortunate man
/ VINO has been mastered by his taste fol
/ intoxicating liquor, and concluded with
an appeal to his hearers to work for the
/ abolition Of the liquor license law.

General Henry r. Jaclson.

Editor Morning NelCS: In the early
days of American politics the maxim
was, s'the office shall seek the
man." But in these degenerate days
personal aggrandizement seems &c
have set aside this sentiment, and
the order of things is reversed
the man seeks the Office. Hence offices
are often filed in a way they should not
be, and men of acknowledged ability and
fitness-men who reflect credit upon
themselves and their constituents, are
doomed to remain at home.
viii not this impress every one who
hears the name of Gen. Henry r. Jackson
mentioned in connection with the First
Congressional district? Who so well
fitted as he for this responsible office? A
man of acknowledged genius, man ripe
in years and experience; great as law
yer, statesman and scholar; Of protes-
sional business ability and judgment, and
possessing an ample fortune, do we not
owe it to ourselves and to him that his
shall be the hand into which the banner
of the Democracy shall be placed in the
coming struggle? With such a leader
every good citizen would be proud of a
place in the ranks, and only with such
leaders can the Democratic party hope to
win back its lost supremacy. VOTER.

TWO PENITENTIARY CANDIDATES.
"JIm" Wright and ''Jefs' Payne in for
Burglary, Larceny and Arson.

"JIm" Wright and ''Jen7' Payne in for
Burglary, Larceny and Arson.
Among the prisoners arraigned in the
Mayors Court yesterday were 'Jim"
Wright and jeff Payne, two negroes
arrested by Detective Henry Wetherhorn
for larceny from the residence of J. f.
Wiehrs, corner of West Broad and Perry
street lane, early Saturday morning. The
MORNING NEWS on Sunday gave a re-
port Of the larceny and the burglary and
attempted arson at the store of
of West Broad and Liberty
streets. adjoining the premises Of Mr..
Wiehrs. As soon as the caseswas placed
in the hands Of Detective WetherhOrn
that officer discovered some of the stolen
property at a store on Market square,
where il had been sold by a negro, who
afterwards proved to be "Jed'' Payne.
When arrested Payne implicated
another negro named Jim"
that another negro. named Henry Brown,
knew Wright, and that he would be a
good man TO assist in making his arrest.
He accordingly secured his and in the I'M
dertaking. Wright was known To be in
company with another character, who
might, when cOrnered, resist capture.
When apprehended by Brown he
showed a disposition to fight, but
the officer coming up he was Immediately
subdued and lodged in the barracks along
with PAYNE. At the examination before
the Mayor, Payne stated that he purchased
the goods from Wright, but the latter as
sumed an air Of Indignation when
the crime was charged upon him.
He stated that he knew nothing of the
burglary or Of the attempted arson. The
Mayor ordered that both be turned over
to the Superior Court for trial on the
charge of burglary, larceny from the
house, and an attempt at arson.

The Changes and Improvements they

Suggestions About the County.

The Changes and Improvements they
Recommend at the Court House, and
Suggestions About the County.
The foreman Of the grand jury Of the
CITY Court yesterday filed the report Of
the Jury in accordance with the instruc-
tons Of the court upon their discharge.
They report that they had examined the
hooks OF the Clerk and Sheriff Of the court
and find them neatly kept and entries
made 70 date.
They think there is room for improve
meut in the matter Of conyenlenees Tor
Jurors. and would suggest the placing OF
Washstauds in the jury rooms, OF otner
suitable place in the court house, SO that
Jurors detained, as they sometimes are
for hours and days in considering cases
committed to them, would not be Obliged
to 20 beyond the building to wash
their hands and faces. The water
closet conveDiences Of the court
house are exceedingly limited in
view Of the demands Of jurors, and
other persons Obliged to attend the ses-
sions Of courts. and the jury recommended
the placing OF two additional closets in
the court house yard. or four closets
now there only one is open TO jurors.
In the Clerks Office additional accOmmo-
dations for the records are needed. and
could be provided at trihing cost. They
further suggested that The County Com
missiOners look into the practicability OF
carrying out these recommendations.
The c0nvicts employed on the drainage
work Of Cuyler Swamp are well cared for,
| and the jury commend the management
Of that force and the work upon which il
is engaged as eminently practical and ju-
| diciOus.
Toe utilization Of part Of the convict
force for works of drainage to west and
southwest of the city occurred to them as
worthy the consideration Of the Drainage
| Commission and County Commissioners.
! That section is getting to be thickly set
| tied. and good drainage would contribute
materially to the health OF its popula'
| ton.
In concluding their service, they ac-
/ knOwledged with appreciative thanks the
| thoughtful consideration of the court for
| their comfort and business convenience,
/ the effect of which had been to make
| pleasant what otherwise might have been
an irksOme duty.

for the reason that one door east Of it, on
BroughtOn street, is the Fashionable

Mitchelps stock comprises fine Dress
and Business Suits in getaways, frocks
and sacks; also nice line Of Seersuckers.
The very low prices ruling are not to cork

goods, but apply to every article in stock,
and especially to his tailor made and
glOve-htting suits. Any doubt you may
have can be dispelled by visit. In fact,
anything in this store can be bought away
below manufacturer cost.
Mitchell means business. The goods
