COMMODORE FILLEBRowN LIKELY TO SUCCEED
COMMODORE UPsHUR--Owing to the reduced number
OF commodores OF the navy, Secretary Chandler ex-
periences considerable difficulty in selecting of1cers
OF suitable rank to fill some OF the more important
commands. For some time past 1t was very doubt
full who would succeed Commodore UpShur In COM
mand OF the New York navy yard. which Is re-
garded as one OF the most important commands
ConmodOe F1llebrown was the first choice but
knowing that he was averse to going there 1t was
thought that Commodore Luce would be ordered
instead. 1t is now learned that Secretary Chandler
Is still desirOuS OF assigning Commodore FillebroWn
to that yard. and the order Will probably be issued
In a day or two.

LOCAL OPTION OR PROHIBITION.

LOCAL OPTION OR PROHIBITION.
From what we gathered, while
in Atlanta last week from hasty
conversations with members of the
Legislature, we are inclined to
believe that the liquor traffic ques-
ton is narrowing to a close con-
test, with the chances in favor of
prohibition.
A strong fight, and one that
was beginning to wax warm when
the Legislature adjourned, has
been made by the friends of the
Local Option bill. While this
bill was not passed, sufficient in
terest was developed to cause the
friends of temperance to feel very
hopeful and sanguine. Many
who opposed bill for Local OPP
tion, we understand, openly ex-
pressed themselves in favor of
prohibition, and that they would
vote for such bill whenever it
should be introduced. This is
manifestly a great gain, and a
source of strength not altogether
suspected.
We are glad to be able to chron-
icle such news, and we feel like
congratulating our Senator and
Representative on the noble and
manly stand they took On this
question. We congratulate the
county and State at large, and
sincerely hope the results may be
as are indicated above. Senator
Hoyle expressed himself to us as
feeling that the chances for prohi-
bition were much more favorable
now, that the Legislature adjourn
ed without coming to avote on the
Local Option bill, ,and a Represen-
tative of an adjoining county
remarked to this writer in discuss
ing the bill that he would "vote to
wipe it out, but l am opposed to
local laws" 1t is hardly necessa-
ry to remark that this legislator
does not object to taking his beer,
but with a sense of justice to his
constituency he is willing to give
it up altogether and not tolerate
it in the state.
This encourages us and moves us
to say we hope for better times
in Georgia. But we would not
beguile our readers into the falacy
that the thing is accom-
plished and the victory won. BY
no means. Work, more work
hard work and heap of it, is
the watchword now. "Up and
doing, still achieving, still pursu
ing" There remains yet some
thing for you to do. Let sucI
sentiment be awakened by the
meeting of the adjourned term o
the Legislature that Representa-
tives of the people will feel the
pressure and say We must ODE!

a law.

The proprietor of the Eureka Hotel, at
this place, is prepared to accommodate the
travelling public with good comfortable
quarters for horses and mules. Arkansas
City Journal
The travelling public will be all
delighted to know that they
can be accommodated with com
Portable quar- ters for horses and
mules. tainly, no nan will
put up at a hotel when he can
find good horse and mule quarters.
Fresh hay and oats, as a diet, will!
be grand improvement on the
old hotel hash: besides this, a man
is not liable to be "bugged," in
his bedding. In addition to all
this, think OF the advantages in
society by the mule quarters
Now, it is much more pleasant to
have sober old dray mule as a
room mate than a drunk dude. 1t
is refreshing to have an old stage
horse reach over from the next
stall and take out a tender loin
steak from the small of your back.
Instead of having the eld-fash-
ioned nightmare on you, from an
overdose OF sour hash, you can
just have a sorrel horse, with new
brogan shoes, to walk into your
stall and 10 axe foot mat of you
for couple of hours. And, how
consoling 1t would be to have
mule back into your quarters, claim
to be an old acquaintance and ex-
tend you the hind foot of recogni-
ton. Oh, yes; the travelling pu b.
lie will always seek comfortable
quarters for horses and mules.
