High license as a method Of regulating
the liquor traffic in the various States is
now acknowledged to be the best and the
most efticaeiOus vet devised. Prohibition
has failed wherever it has been tried, and
since Judge Brewers recent decision at
Topeka, which declares that the State Of
Kansas must compensate the owners for
the value OF property c0ntiscated by the
prOhibitOry enactment, even the friends
OF prohibition must begin TO see IL is not
feasible. Kansas and Iowa will doubt
less have to fall back on high license as
the only means by which the traffic can
be regulated. A high license bill has al
ready been introduced in the New York
Legislature, and is being supported by
some Of the leading religious journals.
The Christian Union. for instance, has
been collecting statistics and obtaining
opinions as TO the working of the Illinois
law, and has practically come 70 the con-
clusion that the adoption OF "A similar law
for New York would be the happiest solu-
ton of the problem. SO popular has the
Illinois high license system become that
a similar one is even recommended Tor
the Province Of Ontario by so bitter an
AmericO-phobist as Mr.. Goodwin Smith.
He quotes the suggestions and cOnclus-
ions of the Christian Union in his paper,
the Week, and recommends them TO the
advocates of prohibition in Canada for
their support.
This seems to be the view Of the re-
Iigious bodies in New York. who are ad-
vOcating the adoption OF the Illinois law
in that State. Bishop Ireland, Of st.
Paul, the well-knOwn Roman Catholic
temperance refOrmeT, is advocating a
similar course in Minnesota, where such
a law is becoming imperatiyely neces-
sary, owing TO the domination OF the
saloon element in the more populous
cities. The only danger which threatens
the cause of high license in New York is
that some crotchety person Will try 10 en-
graft on the bill before the Legislature
sumptuary features Of a character OBJ
noxious to large element Of the voters.

The Douglass Family.


Frederick Douglass, the cOlored Recor-
der OF Deeds for the District, was one OF
toe attendants at the Presidents recep-
ton last night. He had with him young
mulatto girl, his white wife and her sister.
As the venerable Fred approached the
President with the colOred girl on his arm,
Col. W ilson, Of the army, who was max
ing the presentations, announced in a
loud voice:
''Mr. Frederick Douglass and wife,"
s'No. this IL my granddaughter, Mr..
President" said Frederick, correcting
Col. Wilson. "This is my Wife" said he,
introducing a demure looking white lady
attired In black silk gown Ornamented
with "A broad white collar.
The ladies' OF the receiving party, as
we'll as all within hearing OF Col. VIII
sons voice, turned their attention 10 the
remarkable couple, and IL is safe 10 say
that Fred. Douglass and bis white wife at
tracted more general attention and COM
inent than any other couple present.

The political complexion of Heard
county was for long while Democratic,
and Wings had but little chance to sue
coed. Occasionally, though, one would
core to the surface.
The Democrats were headed by Coils
Tompkins, Awbry. Grimes, Stokes, Oliver
and others, who have passed of the stage
of action. The Wings were cared for BY
Berry ID. johnson, David Zachry, Charlie
Mabry. Col. Wright, and others who
fought in the good cause. And some Of
these men yet feel a good deal like the
writer-yOu can call us Democrats, and
we vote with them, but it Is Tor the simple
reason that we have ne other respectable
party to 90 tO--but don't call us Demo-
Gratis too much; we don't love the name
yet.
Politics were always warm in Heard
county, and the lines we're held by the
leaders with firm hand. Every voter
was expected 10 do his duty, and no lag
ging. When the Wing party disbanded
and the Know Nothing came into exist.
ence, things waXed warm. Many promI-
nent Democrats joined the order. Some
held on. but most others were whipped in.
Col. TOmpkius fell in with the Know
Nothings, and fought FOR the cause with
noble herOl5m. Ana II was at this time
that Ben HIPS bugle voice WAS heard
ringing from mountain top to valley call
ing men TO action.
The Democrats nominated Oliver for the
Legislature, and the Wings hit upon that
prince of good fellows (ugly as he was),
Brit Lane, who was strong on the west
side OF the river. No man could say
naught against him. He had never been
in politics before, and when the count was
made old Brit was elected.
IL would be facile pen that could de-
scribe the scene In Franklin on the night
the returns came in. Many were happy
who had worked long and faithfully, and
a good deal Of publication was INDUCED
in at the time. But who could help it,
the returns we're good and the whisky ex-
celsnt. IL is said that even Dave Zachry
smiled and took a little.
The Democrats looked blue for a few
days, and threatened 70 move OF; but old
Brits smiling countenance could not be
resisted, and ere long all came right
again. Party lines were never drawn so
tightly any more, and the Democrats were
restored TO power. but the contests were
never again 80 bitter.

larger of the two court house wells is
6-inch bore, Dab feet deep, and its flow APP
proXimates 1000 gallons per minute.
The well OF Mr.. H. n. Perkins, just
completed near the A. M. +. Church, a
3-inch bore was all compile ted in six and
half days, is $50 feet deep, and flows
$50 gallons per minute. twas one of the
easiest wells that Mr.. Lockwood has ever
sunk, 1t was ~ feet to solid rock; then
10 feet only of hard rock, with 80 of soap
stone intermingled with slate--a foTma-
ton rarely encountered, and never before
in soapstOne. The geological formation is
peculiar. Mr.. Lockwood aftirms that he
never saw anything like it,eVeL in the gold
mining districts OF Nevada. The differ
ence in and the variety of the stratltica-
ton is immense. There is as much as
40 or 80 feet between the same species Of
soil or rock, in Il distance OF less than two
squares-which shows that at one time
there had been a terrific cOmmotion of the
natural elements in this section Of the
universe, There is the most hard rock
from the Putnam house toward the ham
mock, and it also increases from the
heights toward the river. The well of j..

of solid flint quartz.
In the fossiliferous strata are found
sharks teeth, joints of bones, shells, a
formation sea.cOral and rose-cOral. This
was the beach, or perhaps the bottom of
the ocean in remote ages long anterior to
the DeluRe. AT the depth of 300 feet there
is perfect network of water veins, so
webbed together that it is next to impos-
sible not to strike one in sinking a well /;
they are even plentiful at the depth of
200 feet. 1t is believed that at the depth
of 800 feet the sulphur water veins will
be fully passed, and pure mountain water
obtained.
Inc elements that constitute the pre-

In six years and five months, this being

The championship pennant won by the
Atlanta Base Ball Club has reached At

The chances are that Atlanta will soon
have another walking match. Prater,
the mountain wonder, who recently
wanted to marry girl who left him in
the lurch, says he is determined to make
the best record yet known, and will die
on the track or do it. p. NJ. O'Harra, a
famous sawdust masher, Is also in the
Capital City, and a match is being ar
ranged to take place within the next few
days. OHarra is said to be mover, and
is not afraid OF Prater, Orr, Ford, or any
other man. O'Harra has a fine record,
but has been off the track for several
years. He made ten miles in one hour
and eleven minutes in Leadville two
years ago, and says he can beat that.
Baltimore base ball circles have devel-
oped a hero in the person Of VIM. L. Nc
Caffrey, the clever young pitcher OF the
amateur Nationals, who will play at
Augusta this year. The burning of
dwelling house had driven four ladies to
an iron balcony, thirty feet above hard
concrete pavement. Two of them let
themselves drop from this height, each
one of them receiving injuries. one of
them so seriously that it is believed
death will ensue. The other two,
Obeying the request of Mr.. Nc
Catfrey, remained on the verandah
until he had erected a short ladder
on which he took position and requested
one to jump, which she did, landing in
mis- arms, when he carried her down and
repeated the process with the remaining
one. Both the ladies and the young hero
were stnged and bruised. The daring
feat was witnessed by about twenty per-
sons, who will agree that the athletic
training of the young man was no small
factor in the successful accomplishment
of an act of humanity which could have
