LOCAL OPTION ELECTIONS

were held under special acts of the legisla-
ture. The business interest of the large
cities was always strong to prevent the pas
sage of such local option acts so far as they
were themselves concerned hence the legis-
lature passed a general local option bill
under which the ordinances of the counties
were required to order an election upon the
petition of given number of citizens. The
first city to which this was applied was At
lanta. An election on tue question was
ordered by Calhoun on the petition Of 3, 500
voters, to take place on Nov. %. Then
began canvass which has de-
veloped most remarkable features. The
highest vote ever cast even in a
presidential year was little over ), 000
The registration in this election has run up
to 5000. The prohibitionists organized a
strong committee. backed by nearly all the
preachers in the city with Senator CoIquitt,
District Attorney Hill and other prominent
men actively at work. The brunt of battle.
however. has fallen on the shoulders of Rev.
J. II. Hawthorne, the celebrated Baptist
preacher. Rev. Samuel Jones. Col Samuel
Small, Rev. A. G. Haygood, Rev. w. H.
FELTON, and others have fer ten days been
addressing audiences of from 500 to 500 in
Sam. Jones' gospel tent. The anti-prohi-
bitionists have been equally active, being
led by Julius Brown, son of Senator Brown,
Hon A. Cox and many others. They have
been particularly active in committee work.

REMARKABLE POLITICAL FEATURE
OF the campaign has been the breaking UP
of party and color lines The meetings of

by both sides to capture the colored voters.

REMARKABLE CONTEST.
The People Of Atlanta Highly EX-
cited over Local g ptiOn.

ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 21.-On Wednes-
day next will close the most remarkable
contest ever carried on in any Southern
city, when Atlanta will decide whe Their the
sale of liquor shall be prohibited or not.
For ten years temperance agitation has
been carried on in Georgia, which has so
far succeeded that now out Of 1877 counties
of the state the sale of liquor is only al
lowed in fifteen. These fifteen counties
are the seats of large cities, where the liquor
element has large property interests at
stake. The principle by which the agita
ton was carried on is know as that of
''local option" 1t has been preached in
each community as a moral and police
measure, thus meeting the support of both
political parties, of both colors and of the
entire moral element of society. 1t was
not until this movement reached the large
cities that any serious opposition was met

Several gentlemen were discussing Col.
Plat B. Walker and his cosmopolitan hab-

his business must be in st. Paul, as he was
here so often, while another stated that, as
he left his family in Minneapolis. his bust
