ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. 2..-To-day will decide
the question as to whether or not Atlanta is
hereafter TO De numbered among the liquor
prohibitory cities OF the country. The history
Of the agitation and OF the legislation upon
which the events Of to-day are based. was
given in these dispatches In October last.
Since that time the contest between the prohi-
bition and anti prohibition factions has been
waged with bitterness. Day after day for
weeks women connected with the Women's
Christian Temperance Union have been con
vassing the city. Every brass band TO be OBJ
tanned has nightly disturbed The slumbers Of
those who retire early, and professions Of
blue ribboLists have been Of nightly occur
renee. Fol month or more an all-day tenn
perance revival has been kept up in the big
gospel tent, which has accommodations for
six thousand people. United States Senator
ColQuitt pull,d of his coat for prohibition,
making two, three and four speeches weekly ;
while Emory Speer, Judge Lochranc and
young Ben Hill have been tearing their hair
for the cause. The ministers have preached
nothing but prohibition for a n0nth, aud the
Wednesday night prayer-meetings have been
turned into anti-prohibition caucuses. Every
business and private house has been visited by
two delegations OF women, one armed with a
set of blanks calling for the number OF voters,
whether they hal paid their taxes, and the po.
htical predictions OF each resident, and the
other bearing a w~ell-signed pledge TO vote for
prohibition. Business has been paralyzed,
bad blood between friends, neighbors and rel
atives eh Scndered, and a prominent resident,
himself 4 temperance advocate, remarked last
uight: 1t is doubtful II the means TO the
remedy are not as bad as the evil itself" A
remarkable feature Of the contest has been the
extent of tue popular interest manifested. The
highest vote ever cast in this city in q Presi.
dental year was 5000, and yet the registration
for to-day's election ran up into the
nine thousands. Both sides have worked
like beavers TO capture the colored vote,
and such prominent colored orators as Bishop
Campbell. Of Philadelphia, ex.Congressman
JEFF Long, and Bishop Turner have been
bloughl Il az tub tAptuSt, al OIutl w
sway the African masses. The anti prohibi-
tionists have been led by julius Brown, on of
the senator, and Albert Cox, both of whom ex-
ercise SO much influence that at a late day the
prohibitionists brought IN Sam Jones, the
Evangelist, and Col. Sam Swale to counteract
their efforts. Some exceedingly warm thrusts
have been made by the various orators. Fol-
apetonoo a fay,, ,subte No. IN tho owe nf a
sermon, Rev. J. b. Hawthorne, the eminent
Baptist divine, declared that "the anti-prohi,
bitionists favored drunkenness, immortality,
filth, and deviltry." To this Ex-Governor Bull
lock next day responded that "when he saw
DR.. Hew thorne with a lighted cigar ir hi,
mouth wEirling down Peach Tree avenue DE-
hind his fast mare, he would not consider I
justification for charging him with horse
racing, jockeying, pool-selling, or buying his
cigars Ia a rum hole.n To which the reverend
gentleman responded that he would place hi:
record alongside with that Of the ex. governor
that bis cigars ana his horse were bought with
honest money, and that though he could, h'
would not lift the club Of Hercules to brain
gnat." The amount OF invested property tina
