ED. PRESS In your issue of July |
20 an article appeared signed "Citi
zen," which We think would bear a
little scrutiny, not on account of its
originality, but because it represents
the views of large class of persons.
| In order to make his article clear, he
should have elaborated little upon
some points.
What is the difference between a
dive" and saloon? Would there
be as many dives" " erected and kept
in the outskirts of the village as there
arc saloons now in it, if the mu nicipal
vote had been against the saloons?
Would as many men take the trouble
to go out of the village to spend their
evenings in "dive" as now spend
them in saloons?
What "other passions more de-
grading than the passion for drink
would he the engendered result?" 1t
is well known law that like causes
produce like results. If A deals out
intoXicants in a dive" in the out
skirts of village and engenders "pas-
sions more degrading what would
be the result if he dealt out the same
liquor to the same men in saloon in
the village?
Citizen, please name a few of the
, best temperance people" and "prom'
. inent prohibitionists " who are the
hypocrites. The public has a right tC
know who they are.
/, too, have spent several months in
the State of Iowa, and will say thai
Citizen does not give full and free
statement of the situation. In severa
"river towns" as Dubuque and Da
venpOrt, saloons tiourished, and the
drunken ness and debauchery was a.
bad as Citizen claims. But there is {
; hitch somewhere in his argument He
doesn't want to have drunkards around
hut he doesn't want the institution
Il removed which in Iowa towns makes
: it unsafe for lady to go on the streets
on account of the drunkenness in tn,
Il place. Perhaps Citiheu has no moth
et, %lle OF uauSu otS vi Ills OWH bu
take the State at large, and very littl'
. drunkenness will be found compared
with Iowa a few years ago, or Ohi'
u now. Prohibition DOES prohibit owe
y the larger portion of the State. l
- Citizen will look on page \NNI\

, use his pencil, he will find that il
y proportion to population, Iowa ha
J. less than half as many retail liquO
q dealers as the State of Ohio. This in
l. ciudes druggists, dealers in rive
e towns" and hundreds who had pal,
+ the tax for the special tax year ende
d April 80. 1855, before the prohibition,
II law went into effect July 4, 1884.
- Citizen shows c0mmendable zeal II
urging the women to "make hom
= pleasant for the young boys and youn,
d girls" by staying there. Does he ac
e. consistently in his advocacy of tn
!. great enemy of the home, who's
blighting touch is felt, to some extent

D. We say, remove the saloon aud al

Killed by Lightning:

From the Americas Recorder
of the 8th instant, we learn that
on Wednesday afternoon of last
week Mr.. j. NJ. Walker, of Web
ster, was instantly killed by hight
ming. That afternoon a heavy rain
and thunder storm came up, and
the lightningwas very strong. One
bolt struck Mr.. Walker on the
head, passing down on his breast
over one shoulder, and going the
length of his body. He was SOL
of Hon.. j. p. Walker, State
Senator of that district.

congressional.

The race for congressional hon
ors III this district is fast taking
shape and the friends of our fell
loN-'ownsmau, Col. j. Ii. Guerrv,
are more than pleased with his
success so far, and entertain
strong hopes of his nomination
when the convention meets at
Camilla the 25th of August. The
delegates of every county in this
judicial circuit have been instruct
ell for him and there is q posi-
hility of his getting the support
of one or two Of the lower coun-
ties.
The counties of Miller, Early.
Terrell, Randolph and Clay, with
q total of ten votes, have been in
structed for Query; Mitchell,
Brooks, Lowndes, Decatur and
Calhoun, with total of twelve
votes, have been instructed for
Turner; Thomas county, with four
votes, has instructed for Mitchell,
and Dougherty, with two votes,
has declared for Jones.
This leaves five more counties
to act, viz: Worth, Berrien, Ba-
ker, Colquitt and Qnitman. Quit
man will 30 for Query beyond
doubt, while the others will be
divided among the reveral aspi-
rants.
Neither of the candidates will
enter the convention with q ma
jority, and while it is hard to fore
cast tho result the outlook for
Query is encouraging. There
are rumors of dark horses, but
one Of the four contestants will in
all probability secure the prize.
The Dawson journal., 1886-07-15
Senatorial.

It is rumored throughout the
district that Clay county will pre-
sent to the convention Col. r. A.
Turnipseed as it's choice for soma
torial honors.
At q mass meeting held in Fort
Gaines a few days since delegates
were selected, but, according to
published proceedings, they were
not instructed.
If, however, the rumor is cor
rect, and the convention decides it
to be Clay's right to name the
senator, it would be nothing but
proper on the part of Terrell and
Randolph counties to unite and
make Col. Turnipseeds n0mina-
ton unanimous if his record has
been in harmony with his people
and party for the last several
years. Of this the convention
must Judge, and if Clay's candi-
date is found lacking in these
qualifications he should not be
forced upon the people as their
representative.
We understand that Col. Tur-
nipseed is an able lawyer and a
safe, reliable, practical business
man. Let justice be done Clay
county, Col. Turnipseed and the
people.

Rev A. NJ. Williams in TaTbOtOn.
The commencement sermon of
LeVert College was preached to a
fine congregation at our Metho-
dist Church on Sunday morning
last by Rev. A. NJ. Williams, of
Dawson, Ga. He is young mah
of fine ability and sustained his
reputation in this effort. His
theme, "The Christian Life" was
handled in a most attractive man
nep and his beautiful words and
eloquent oratory held the strict
attention of his large congrega-
tion. The sermon was highly
complimented by all who heard
1t and the young preacher may
certainly congratulate himself
on bis effort IN the cause of
Christianity. 1t was Just such Il
sermon we like to hear delivered
on occasions like this, and it sure
ly sowed good seed that will
bear fruit to the honor and glo-
ny of Capitalization New Era.
