Nashville Union: In a recent inter-
view the president of one of the larg-
est cotton manufacturing companies
in Augusta, Ga, states that on ac-
count of the long depression in bust
ness his factory has been run at con-
siderable loss, but that at last a period
of prosperity had dawned and goods
were now made at a fair profit. He
further said that not only was it not
true that it was difficult to find a
market, but on the other hand orders
were refused last week for over 1000
bales, and they were sold ahead for
their full capacity. The same condi-
ton is true of our Nashville mills,
and it now looks as though there was
a boom coming for the cotton goods
trade in the south.

THE VICTORY COMPLETE.


ATLANTA, Jan. 3d. 1866.
At last the dozen liquor dealers who have
been fighting the Ordinary Of Fulton county
to prevent him from consolidating and de-
claring the result of the November Local
Option election, have been driven to the
wall, and the vote consolidated, the result
officially declared and all opposition and con-
tests at an end so far as the election is con-
cerned
1t was the bitterest fight ever made by the
liquor men of this country, and Ordinary
Calhoun won the highest need of praise for
his fearless and unfinching defense of the
rights of the people as expressed at the bal
lot box. Three attempts were made to con-
test the election before him as Ordinary, but
two were withdrawn and the other came too
late. The United States District court was
appealed to, and Judge McKing decided
against them; then they went to Judge Par
dee of the United States Circuit court, who
refused them a restraining order, and turned
the hearing of the case over to Judge Nc
Kay, who had already once decided it. Two
appeals to Judge Clarke, of the Fulton SUI
perior court, were also fatal tic the Whiskey
men; and now they are before the Supreme
court of the State to test the constitution
amy VI tHc 1ACl, Uut buOy VIII Set COIu cUIH-
fort from that tribunal whose voice has
always been against intemperance
We may, therefore, consider the great and
prolonged struggle in the capital city of
Georgia as ended, and concern ourselves only
as to the enforcement of the law, which goes
into operation in July. Already many gro
GERS have relinquished their liquor licenses,
to sell in bottles, several bar rooms and
wholesale stores are closed, and not a few
others are closing out, so that July will find
a largely reduced number of sellers to be
shut up by the expiration of their licenses.
The outlook is quite hopeful, and the whole
State will soon be prohibitory.
Some time ago we stated that while Maine
furnished Atlanta, Ga, a fine corps of tenn
perance workers, she had given that city on
ly one whiskey dealer, and he quiet, chart
table citizen 1t is pleasant to know this
Maine man closed his bar on Christmas and
spent the day in making many, poor people
happy by his gifts. During the recent Sc
we're weather in this city he was liberal
giyer to the relief fund. Such good citizen
will no doubt be glad to get out of the whis-
key business in July. The Lord would GER
tainly prosper him in some better business.

would prove severe blow to Maine

danger that the bill will become law. The
proposition will serve the useful purpose of
opening the eyes of the people of Maine to
the dangers of Democratic ascendency. We
are curious to see how the free-trade Demo-
cratic papers of the State will treat it.

1t appears from Mr. L. B. Chaman's paper
read before the Maine Genealogical Society
last evening that agitation of the liquor ques-

ago as 1879, when the Presumpscot Indians
complained to the Governor of MaSsachu-
sets that improvements on the river pre-
vented them from passing down with ease
to get rum. One hundred and fifty years
have changed the complaint, but by no means
diminished the agitation. Now the COM
plant is of too much ease in getting rum in
stead of too little.

THE DANGEROUS USE OF THE BOYCOTT.

The Knights of Labor movement is rem
dered dubious of success, if not certain of
failure. bv the rapidly increasing and appar-
entity indiscriminate use of the boycott, and
present indications warrant the belief that
unless the knights take radically different
stand and that at once, the order will soon
90 the way Of similar although less extensive
Organizations in the past, and fall to pieces
by disintegration. A large proportion of the
members Of the order are not only lovers of
Justice and fair play, but they are intelligent
enough to discern that their only hope of
successfully accomplishing their ends lies
in gaining and holding the sympathy and
support Of the people. When they become
aware that they are losing rather than gain
ing ground in this direction, and that they
are committrd by the majority to the support
of arbitrary and contemplate methods of
enforcing their demands, this class, which is
the bone and sinew of the order and which
alone gives it its strength, will abandon it
and it viii so on drop out of existence. The
Knights will do well to heed a. little advice
from outsiders, and bear in mind the fact
that the one thing essential to their success is
popular support.
