Mr.. Grady. editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, thus writes in the New
York World about prohibition in At
lanta. Ga:
''In the two years of prohibition the
records showed a decrease of 1886
civil cases, or 80 per cent. in justices
courts which handle suits or execu-
lions of less than 800; a greater de-
crease in criminal cases; still greater
decrease in distress warrants; an in.
crease of 400 poll.tax payers, one
savings bank has grown into five; six
building and loan associations into
fifteen, through which the working
men put an excess of $4,000 month
into homes formerly spent otherwise;
more than one million and quarter
dollars had been added to our banking
capital and surplus, and one million
added to our deposits; 81, 100000 put
into new shops and factories; nearly
half million put into new schools
and churches; the $50 barrooms re-
placed with legitimate shops or stores,
and the number of business licenses
increased over 20 per cent; the mer-
chants reporting remarkable advance
in purchases of the poorer classes and
agreeing that this was the best bust
ness year Atlanta ever had, the total
of business failures having decreased
nearly one-half; the churches report
ing that the church poor had almost
entirely disappeared and that the poor
fund was accommodating"

Beer and Intemperance.

Rev. j. G. Allen, pastor of the Han
son Place NJ. E. Church Of Brooklyn,
New York. speaking of the use Of
beer, said:
In 1880 the famous beer act il Eng
land was passed. with the view of de-
creasing intemperance by encouraging
the use Of beer in the place of more
ardent liquors. Lord Wellington
boosted that the securing Of the pas
sage of that act was one of his great
est victories. 1t was not many years
before parliament was compelled to
repeal the act because beer-drilking
had become so extensive. If we look
among the statistics of the drinking
classes we will find that there are
GOO, 600 male habitual drunkards, and
I SOC, 900 male tipplers. The drinkers
spend annually 100000 900; they con
sumo rs. 100000 gallons of beer; there
are used q, 900, 900 bushels of grain,
which, if ground into flour, would
make $780, 900 barrels. The money
spent for drink, if strung out in rows
of dollar bills, would make 473 belts
for the globe"

II Takes a Man to Do 1t

Bob Burdette takes up the saying
of Rev. Hugh o. Pentecost, "When l
want a drink l take it" Bob, who
can speak ON the subject from keen
observation AID considerable expert
mental knowledge, says:
He would be fool to take 1t when
he don't want it. And as to taking it
when he does want it, donkey can
do that. ANY man, parson or layman,
can do as the donkey does and take a
drink when he wants it. or even refuse
a drink when he doesn't want it; but
it takes a man, my son, to refuse a
drink when he wants it,
