PROHIBITION PROCLAMATION.
No State Convention to be Held This
Year Account of Politics.


Year on Account of Politics.
sANDERsvILLE, GA, May 1.-The fol-
lowing has been furnished to the NEWS
correspondent for publication:
To the Prohi6itiOnis's of Georgia:
The Executive Committee Of the Georgia
Temperance A ISOLATION met a few days ago
in Atlanta to consider the question OF holding
a state Temperance Convention this year.
The unanimous opinion of those present
was that tenn erance being strictly moral
question, and as the eau e is now progres ing
we'-in fact, rapidly advancing in the State
there was no necessity for state conven-
tiOn this year.
THIS conclusion was further supported by
the fact that there will be more or less polti-
ca excitement this year in our STATE, and as
1t has never been the design of the temperance
people OF Georgia 10 push their cause INTO
politics. il was thought best for this reason,
also, to hold no convention.
In coming to this conclusion, we do not
mean that the prohibitlonists should abate
their energies but rather to redouble them, If
possib e. in every wav that will advance the
great cause Of TEMPERANCE and prohibit
zion. That IS to say. keep up our organic
tOns, and render them more effective. If
pOssible, not only in holding our own ground,
but in adding to the territory already ac-
CURED. AMI thus promoting the great cause
Of humanity.
We rejoice to believe that the work of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union in the
past. as shown IN its recent session in Macon.
has been ana VIII ebil be productive or much
good, and we hone the friends of the cAuse
will make the session of the Grand Lodge of
Good Templars, to meet in Columbus in July
next. grand success. Letall remember that
the members of these, as well as all other
Temperance organizations in the state, have
by n resolution been made members OF the
&c 'rga Temperance Association. and are
most valuable adjuncts in this great work.
and that all are tending to the same great
end. TO ''clOse the barrOOms and save the
people"
The rapid strides of this great cause in our
State in the last few Yeas is certainly mat
ter of great rejoicing. OF the 1877 counties
in Georgia over ihree-fOurths have ruled out
barrooms. This grand triumph of right over
wrong should cause no abatement of or
efforts, but let all remember that in this grand
confess for humanity eternal vigilance Is the
price Of liberty" G. r. PRINGLE,
President Georgia Temperance Association.

MT. PLEASANT, PA, May 1.-THE men
employed at the Standard and Norwood
coke works struck to-day unexpectedly,
Notwithstanding the recent voluntary ad-
vance. The grievance is rectifcation of
the wagon measurement by the inspectors
and reinstatement of the Hungarians
recently Oh trial in court. TIE
strikers demand five per cent. advance
aud the reinstatement of two discharged
men. The fear generally felt that the
entire release of the Hungarians on trial
for riot would encourage intimidation
was confirmed to-day when some of them
ordered the men at the ovens to quit work
on penalty of death. The minor demands
of the men have been regularly conceded
since the great strikes, but the companies
now claim they must take stand.

Eam0 for Salr.
Georgia Coast Islands for Sale.

I00 ACRES. embracing Milhgan's and
tOU other small islands in Bryan county,
between Bear and Midway rivers. near ST.
Catharlne's Sound. adjacent to the mainland,
covered with valuable cedar, and having salt
marshes. checkered with creeks suitable for
raising oysters. This property can be made
available for a good income in q very short
time. But in addition to these advantages it
is nearly IN the centre of the land-lOcked
Georgia coast fisheries and oyster beds, and is
passed every day by steam boats and other
craft navigating those waters. The islands
can also be utilized for truck farming, and
will need no guano or fencing. The main
land in the 1eighborhOod is very eligible
already occupied by farms and handsome
residences. No one can make a mistake in
investing IN this property at the present low
prices of land. The country is yearly in
creasing vastly in population, and prices are
bound to keep pace with this constant growth.
THESE islands are cheaper now than they will
ever be again, and are bound to be sold. Ex-
anime the property and send in your bids at
an early day. All cash or part cash and re-
mainder in twelve months, with security.
