mary Elections.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept, 2O.-Ever since the
big Prohibition movement in November
lest Atlanta has been agitated over the
liquor question. Efforts wore made to set
aside the election, but the ProhIbitlonists
prevailed. Then an attempt was made 20

tiles, but again the ProhibItionists came
out victorious, Last week, In tho conLeat
for State Senatorial conference nominees,
the anti.ProhibitionisEa put up ticket,
and were heated by small majority. The
fact that Atlanta was solid for Prohibition
was telegraphen throughout the country.
The anti-ProhibitioulBts roorganizad under
the name OF Conservatives, and yesterday
primary elections were held for nominees
for the State Legislature. Three nomi-
nees wore to be selected. The Prohibit
tionisls put into the fold q ticket headed by
z. Westmorelaud, aud composed OF men
pledged to fight for the most stringent
Prohibition laws. The opposition, or Con-
ssrvative ticket, was headed by Clark
Howell, night editor oi the Constitution,
and pronounced high license man.
Tho campaign was hot, short and bitter,
and both sides worked all day for all they
were worth. Some Of the strongest Dem.
ocrats, men, who formerly favored the
Prohibition movement, and who subss.
QuentIy became convinced that Atlanta
was being injured by the prohibition law
to the extent u several hundred dollars
annually, bolted tho temperance moya-
ment aud supported the opposition. The
Conservatives wcr0Carsful TO select strong
Democrats, and tho plea was used that
the Howells ticket was tho sLraightout
Democratic ticket. This enabled other
Prohibtionists who were inClined to cut
loose from the Temperance party, but had
been afraid from vsrous reasons 10 do 30,
to sever their bonds. The returns show
the defeat Of the rfohibitionists. They
are utterly swept out. The Howell tick.

IN politics and the moat fruitful source oi

hrm that both patrlOtiam and philanthro-

the laws enacted to suppress this enor-

dealing with cases for the violation Of the
law Ia the great number OF theses which
come to the Superior Court on appeal from
the inferior courts So numerous are
they in some portions OF The common
wealth, that 1t is impo'sible to try them
all with the present facilities, and the con-
stitutional right OF appeal, which cannot
be abrogated, too often secures immunity

"This should be'remedled, and we urge
the Legislature TO ptoYide additional and
frequent sessions Of the Superior Court

ties as will insure the thorough and

A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to some
rsnarEu made by Mr.. W. S, Meek In hia
speech at tho Capitol Rink on Monday
evening. Mr.. Meek is a candidate for the
Legislature and therefore a public man,
and ought to be able to explain Just what
he meant by threats Of furnishing some
body or other. A good deal Of license is
allowed to candidates for office and We
are not disposed to conclude that Mr..
Meek really desired to point out anybody
for pepoual vengeance, II no did he ia
