PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
Victory Seems to Perch on the Banners of
the Kimball House.

the kimball House.
ATLANTA, Ga, July l2.-The Kimball
House for the last three days has been
emptying a keg of beer every five minutes.
The rush from the first has been undated,
the drinkers being composed of the best
men of the city, who seem to enjoy the
defiance which they are giving to the pro.
hibition law. Under the injunction which
the Kimball House has secured against
city officers there will be no interference
until July Il. Then it is believed Judge
Clarke will further continue the injunc-
ton in order to give the lawyers time to
gather up authorities The case will then
be taken to the United States court, where
it is expected to linger for a year. BY
that time another election can be held.
This Will be a bonanza to the klmball
House, tor during that time it will have
the exclusive privilege of dealing out beer
and spirits to 10000 people. y singular
feature of the renewal of the
liquor traffic is the manner in which
the colOred people are affected by il. In
the election, under the lead OF their
preachers, they were ardent prohibition
lists The kmbal House refuses negro
custom, ana the colOred people now gather
on the sidewalks and denounce the whole
business as Il trick by which the white
man seeks to Keep them from getting

Mr.. Sweat, living on J. J. Felton's
farm two and half miles south of
this place, found little infant in
a box that had been partially bur-
ried. Mr.. Sweat's dogs scratched
the box up. Mr.. Sweat being q
new conner, and snow on the grouNd
supposed that there was grave
yard at the place and buried the
box again few days later. Mr..
Sweat named something about the
grave yard to some of the neigh
bors; they told him there was no
grave yard there; then the mys-
terry came, how the infant had
been buried there, none
of the neighbers knowing any
thing about it. Esq. Ray will
soon investigate the case and try
to solve the mystery.

EutOF ItHtS'
Will you please be so kind as to
inform me as we'll as many other
democrats through the columns of
your excellent paper whether or
not the democrats of the County
of Boone have any organization.
Ii 40, when was it affected? Have
we a Central Committee IL SO,
who compose it? Who is Chairman
of this committe? Has it ever
met and organized with a majority
of its members present? What is
this committee for any how?
Which is the stronger in this
county the Democrat or the Re
publican party? Why don't the
Democrats hold nominating con-
ventions and put men in the field
for the various county officers.
Do they think they are too weak
or is it because their Central COM
mittee will not call a convention
for this purpose.
The time is near at hand now
when tina aspirants for public fa-
vor (and there are many of them }
will begin to shake hands with the
good people and express willing
ness (after having been strongly
solicited of cOurse), to be sacritic-
ed for the public good.
Is it possible that the Democra-
cy of Boone county will lie still
and allow just such another scrub
race this year us we had two years
ago. ! do not mean to cast any
reflection ON the men who were
candidates before the people t
the last election, but / do mean to
say that such scramble for the
same office by men all of the same
political party, securing the coun-
try over, harrassing the people
and making personal charges
against each other is shame and
Il disgrace to the party III power.
In my opinion if the Democratic
party i'll the county does not wake
up and put men before the people
as regular nominees some other
party or organization, perhaps the
Brothers of Freedom, or the Wheel
| | believe it is called now, will
come to the front and make nomi-
nations for the various county Of
fees and then the cry of disorgani-
zation will be heard from nil quar-
tiers after it is too late, If the dem
ocrats mean to do anything now is
the time, and if we do not go to
work at once and organize, and
some other organization compos-
ed of all political parties comes TO
the front and demands a right TO
be heard, let us not then cry out
pc disorganizers, but rather IRE
disorganizors, zee have done it by
failing to do anything.

Good Words.

Rev. Dortch whose revival clos
ed several weeks since, writing TO
the Cumberland Presbyterian of
Nashville, Tenn, has the follow
ing to say concerning our town
and people:
| have just closed what | think
the best meeting / have ever
seen. 1t lasted only fourteen
days. When | got here this town
was about dead spiritually, but
now there is great change for the
better. The audiences were very
large, both day and night. Ere
quently many had to leave, as
there was not standing-room in
the house. During the services
at 10 o'clock in the morning all
the business houses closed, includ-
ing three saloons. The interest
was undated at the close of the
meeting, | was strongly solicited
to remain one more week The
weather was fearfully disagreea-
BILE during the entire meeting.
There were 100 who professed
faith in Christ, and 90 came
forward the last night and joined
the different Churches. We or
ganized Cumberland Presbyte-
rim Church of 30 members, 4
elders, and 2 deacons. Among
them are some of the best and
most substantial business men of
Harrison, They think of build
ing n house of worship soon They
have no pastor, but want one at
once. A good, energetic man
could do well at Harrison. Three
railroads have been surveyed To

A Model Settlement With the Stat e
Auditor,

Cart p. NJ, b. Wait, tax collector Of
Tate county, made his appearance on
yesterday and bears away the honor
that there is in being the first Sheriff in
the State to make his final settlement
1t will be remembered that Gov.
Lowry, in his last message, pointed out
that Tate county lands were assessed at
an average valuation OF s.. 90 per acre
far higher than the lands of any other
county in the State. Notwithstanding
this high valuation the State tax on
lands sold for non-payment of taxes
only amounted to 1874, and the total
tax on lands held by the State in that
county is $7.l5 These losses, amounting
to $3.50, were more than made up to the
State by taxes collected on additional
assessments-$52.s2--made by this model
sheriff; the result being thaton State tax
the State has received the whole amount
assessed and s4S.4S over, less the usual
commission. In this county about $500
polls are assessed, and the tax en- all
these except 49l have been collected and
paid over. This, too, in a county with
The Daily clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1866-1888, 1886-03-04

a large black majority. In our opinion
Tate county has a right to be proud Of
this officer who is now ia his third term
as sheriff. TDese facts are also an ex-
emplary showing for the county, which
bears the proud distinction Of hayisg,
by the assessment rolls, the mos, valu-
able lands in the State.

Jackson County Quarantine.

Our representative, Col. McRae, has
introduced into the House a biIl providing
for an appropriation Of $1,000 for the bet
ter maintenance Of an effective quarantine
system at our port. This is an import
ant bill, for the protection Of our State
from epidemics d yellow fever, cholera
and the like are largely dependent upon
an etIicient supervision against injected
vessels coming into our harbor. To do this
properly requires the expenditure OF a con-
siderable sum OF money, and, while the
county has quarantine tax, il is but just,
a. bcneGtting and protecting the people Of
the entire State, that our Legislature
should appropriate the sum which Is ask
ed Tor by our Representative, upon request
Of cur County Board Of Health. The Sec
retary Of the Board, Mr.. J. w. Stewart,
has furnished Col McRae an estimate Of
the least possible expense attached to
keeping up an effective quarantine, and
this amount "a bnt barely covered by the
sum named in the bill. 1t is to be hoped
the Legislature will recognize the para
mount importance Of the health OF our
State, and that there will be no objection
made to this necessary appropriation
