two children in her arms climbed down an
icy iron ladder to escape from the flames
that had possession of her rooms. Mrs.

their hair and flesh. Icicles hung from the

was that I'D such able work for democ-
racy IN the country. While in Memphis on
one occasion he was presented with this
handsome stick by the democrats OF that
city. Since that time the stick has passed
down to his relatives and now II has
found its way into Justices court, where
a litigation for the rightful possession Of
IL Wiu ensue. The owner Of the stick, w.
II. Polk, had a daughter who married W.
T. Marable and after the death OF her
father the stick passed into her possession
as the heir OF Mr.. Polk. She died. and
then the stick became the property Of her
husband, who has had charge OF II since
the death Of his wife. II passed from him

Until the litigation is settled by due course

less enforced What IS claimed for the an
n-barroom bin Is precisely this: That its
method Of providing FOR the sale OF liquors
fer purposes recognized as legitimate Is
the best method yet devised-is the most
easily enforcable-and Is the one least
likely. even If poorly enforced. to de-
generate into anything approximating he
evils OF the baTrOcm method Of sale. II
Is a vital point that the keeper OF the
liquor store is not allowed 70 make a per
sonal profit out Of the sales. and he Is
not allowed 70 run his business as a pO-
hucal machine 10 curry favor and secure
once. for he is made ineligible 20 any Of
fee for two years sfter his appointment
as vendor expires. Thus the two chief
sources OF temptation 70 violate or betray
the law are removed.
1. The trick of the enemies Of the bill
10 defeat IL by clubbing It "a dispensary
bilI' and representing Il as similar 10 the
South Carolina law has already been too
Clearly exposed 10 require much atten-
ton. The truth Is that such a misrepre-
sentation not only discloses the dishonesty
or the persons who resort TO it. but act
ually shows that they are willing, in their
zeal 10 tnture the ILL., 20 reflect upon their
own intelligence. For the truth is that
while the Tillman law IS valid under the
constitution OF South Carolina such a law
would not be valid under the
constitution of Georgia, because
our constitution is far more rigid in linn
iting the purposes for which public moneys
may be expended. The use OF funds rails
ed by taxation fer the purpose OF selling
liquors through state dispe nsaries (Which
Is the prime and characteristic feature Of
the Tillman law Is not only utterly absent
from the anti-barroom bill. but it is
further trne that such a feature would
make the bill illegal in Georgia, and its
trainers know il. Hence any man who
resorts to the Misrepresentation above de
scribed writes himself down both knave
and fool.
.. The friends Of the bill desire 1t to be
judged BY the bill itself. They have pub
hshed II far and wide. II has been printed
In the Christian Index. the Wesleyan Ad-
vocate, the Temperance News. the Crusa-
der. and all other papers are asked to print
II. Copies can be ordered from A. A De-
Loach, Atlanta, or Rev. A. ]. Hughes,
Lexington
The agitation for the bill has struck ter
ror to the hearts Of the liquor dealers Of
Georgia. They have appealed to the Ii
quor dealers OF the nation for n corruption
fund with which TO defeat the bill They
did this in a circular which they never
dreamed we would see, but which we
promise them shall have the biggest circu-
laton we can give II. The circular con-
tains the astounding statement that they
spent considerable money to defeat the
bill at the last session. Will the General
Assembly Of Georgia allow this indignity
to pass unchallenged and uninvestigated.

mans Lake. that lies 10 the north of
OF IL. formed a stream that wended its
way through the prairie and emptied into
teristiC curiOsities In that vicinity known
as a sink. The water found its way from
these into some subterraneOus passage.
This passage became clogged up in some
unknown way. and FOR a number OF years
there was a magnificent sheet Of water.
Four years ago the bottom Of the sink
dropped out again, and in three days the
lake that covered an area of fifty-five
square miles. went dry. Grass grew in
abundance, and for another year the most
excellent pasturage was afforded.
Three years since the sink hole
was again ClOgged, and the
prairie is again overlooked. The great
scheme now on foot IS TO blow out the
bottom of the sink hole with dynamite,
and to make an excavation sufficient in
size forever to insure against another clog.
The benefit to the stock raisers will be i'm
mense. The richest grass grows there
when dry. and II II sufficient TO keep
hundreds of thousands of cattle.
