AND among them came Satan!-
John Z. Bryant has turned tenn
perance missionary. Wherever the
Temperance racket is, there also is
Johnnie gathered together. He
thinks that prohibition is the COM
ing card, and is making desper-
ate effort ''to catch on" early. But
who wants him? He is one Of the
few carpet-baggers who remain a
monument to Radical depravity in
the South; he for years attempted
to array the races against each
other, and never tired of heaping
abuse upon people who showed
their good sense by passing his vi
tuperation by unnoticed. His
time is near, and he knows it, and
now he would obtain new lease
of time by trying the temperance
dodge.-It won't do, Johnnie you
must go. But if the temperance
people wish their cause, which
now has such a favorable appear
ance, ruined, let them take this
miserable wretch to their bosom
and the deed is done.-Waynes-

DURING the summer the Angus
ia Chronicle and Constitutionalist
will celebrate its one hundredth
anniversary. There will be pro-
duced a fac simile copy of the
first issue of the paper. This is
the oldest paper in Georgia, and
has long been a model in the
journalistic world. 1t has seer
others rise, flourish, and die, yet
it has always reserved its energies,
and is to-day more powerful and
vigorous than ever before. 1t
stands in Georgia as the only SEN
tinel of 1885. We congratulate
the present editor on his able man
agement of the paper. We con-
graduate the Chronicle on its
Tooth anniversary and hope that
it may live to celebrate it's second
centennial.

IT is unnecessary for us to ar
que the question of selling liquor.
So long as the law allows it to be
sold it is a legal traffic, and any
man has a right to sell it who
complies with the requirements of
the law. But the point which the
JOURNAL seeks to impress upon
the public is the necessity of hav-
ing a law to prohibit its sale alto
gether. No man with eyes and
proper moral understanding need
be told how it has cursed our fair
land. Every week and every day
but brings its multiplying eviden-
ces of this face, and IL does seem
to us that every man, woman and
child in all the land ought to
heartily concur in wishing it ban
ished from the country. If a man
drinks it and thus renders him
self liable to become its victim,
the greater the reason why he
should desire to see it placed be-
yond his reach, for of all the pita-
bic objects in the world is the
man who goes staggering about
through the streets with his reas-
on dethroned from the excessive
use of intoxicating drinks.

II was perhaps natural for Mr.. Warren to
suppose that all who read the Era would guess
that he was meant, but il was an error. |
think II safe to say that of the fifty thousand
who read that number not more than 6,ty
ever thought OF Mr.. Warren, and they would
have forgotten the matter had not he re-

did not warn anybody against being
"contaminated by" Mr. Warren or against
the unnamed minister, but used the incden,
simply to show that a man might be sound in
theology, but unsound in politics.
Mr.. Warren's lengthy "card" shows no in
correctness in our report. He only adds
multiplicity Of words.
Ii is unfortunate that Mr. Young did no,
appreciate Mr.. Walren's peculiar manner OF
''jestinR," but when minister states that he
would rather vote .or the devil than for a
brother minister and repeats it after being
requested to modify it. laymen must be ex-
cused II they suppose he means what he says.
Mr.. Warren denies having admitted that
the principle OF the Prohibition party was
sound, but with the same dip of ink be says
he believes In Prohibition, and as bis party
declares that to be the "great and only prin-
ciple' OF the Prohibition Party, he makes a
distinction where there Is no difference.
regret that Mr.. Warren went
out OF his way to publish
a base and ba,eless slander against n brother
minister, the Rev. W. Mills, the man to whose
criminal act he refers. The matter in
question was thoroughly investigated in the
courts and Mr. Mills most honorably acquitted
and that by court that had no political pref
erences in his favor. Instead of firing shots
into crowd Of his felow-citizens, he fred

the Springfield branch OF the l.. N. and a

the signal for the Springfield accommodation
which was standing north Of the crossing to
come on into the depot. The train came on
and struck the d. Il r. engine. knocking off
the top OF the cab, the steam whistle and TIE
valve. 1t created a horrible racket and as
everyone imagined the disabled engine was
just about to go up in steam and smoke there
was some lively sc'ambling of passengers
from the Springfield train. The d. 4 r. en-
gineer was not on his cab at the time and the
