THE WHITE RIBBON MISSION
It's Work for the Poor Greater Last
Month Than Since IL Was Organized.

Its Work for the Poor Greater Last
Month Than Since IL Was Organized.
The White Ribbon Mission did as much
or more last month in the way of chari-
ty than it has done since it was organ
lied. 1t furnished more lodgings even
than it did during January, even though
last month was the shorter month
Many applicants for lodging were turned
away because the society had no place to
put them. Many of the applicants for
charity were on their way to Florida ex-
pecting to get work, and had spent all
they had trying to reach there. The
freeze having destroyed almost every
thing in the way of agriculture there is
in the state, they were cut off without
hope of getting anything to do and had
to appeal for charity or starve.
During the month III free lodgings were
furnished, 355 meals were given out and
employment was found for four persons.
The total attendance at the Gospel
temperance meetings was 612, at which
four pledges were taken.
The mission appeals to the charitable
public to purchase tickets from the soci-
ETY., either at the rooms No. 1874 Brough-
ton street. or from the president, at No.
1856 South Broad street. and give to appli-
cants for relief instead of giving them
money. The tickets are % cents and en-

News last night announced that Gov. At
kinson has signed the order pardoning
James Landsberg Representative Rock
well OF Chatham county, who got the
order went at once to the Chattahoochee
yards and gave the prisoner his freedom.
Landsberg slept last night at the Ara

A telegram was also received here by
Mr.. J. J. Sullivan. saying that Gov At
kinson had signed Landsberg's pardon.
Mr.. Sullivan has been one of the hardest
workers in Landsberg's behalf.
The crime for which Landsberg was
convicted was assault with intent to rape,
committed upon a girl named Leila White
during May week. 1891. He was not tried
until the following April, when he was
convicted and sentenced to twelve years
in the state penitentiary There was a
good deal of prejudice against Landsberg
at the time OF his trial There were
many people, though, who thought that
his crime was not so grave as that of
which he was convicted. Landsberg's
friends have been making continual eff
forts in his behalf ever since his con-
viction He is now a free man, after
nearly three years confinement

THE MILLEN SUITS TAKEN UP.
A Demurrer by the Defendants Ar
gued Before Judge FaIIfgRnt.


It seems that the Millen land suits
have come up again in earnest. The
cases Of Elizabeth d. Freeman and others
against G. NJ. Ryals, individually and as
trustee. and against Jordan f. Brooks.
were taken up in the superior court yes
terday for argument on demurrer
filed by the defendants. through their
counsel, Messrs. Denmark & Adams, and
Garrard. Meldrim and Newman.
The plaintiffs are represented by Mr..
Joseph W. Preston OF Macon, but he was
not present. 1t was shown that he had
been notified some time ago that such a
demurrer was fled and would be argued
but letter was received from him stating
that he had been away for some time and
could not appear.
Judge Falligant, therefore. heard argu-
ment on one side and has reserved his de-
cision with regard to the demurrer until
the plaintiffs are heard from. The ground
of the demurrer is that the suits as filed
were not properly articled and para
graphed as is required under the recent
law of the legislature on the subject.

WHERE WILL THE RAVAGE
STOP?

With unmeasured and unceas-
ing rapidity, the ravages of prohi-
bition results is sending Mississip-
pi headfirst, headlong into the
sorrowful and final disposition of
poverty, and the remedy only re-
poses in the action of the next
State legislative's body. That
is the only alternative. In the
absence of action the question
will eventually rise: Where will
the the ravage stop?
We, for one, cannot tell? 1t
may end on the borders of eter-
nifty, if ever. The prohibitionist
sees no farther than his nose.
He ruins the nation to help one
fireside when prosperous nation
would help all. Listen to the
deepness and Importance of this
question propounded by the sage
of the Oxford Globe: "With no
revenue coming in from whiskey
is it possible for the State to con-
tinue its public schools, appro-
printing annually the same num-
Der of dollars as in the past, with
out bankrupting the government?
On account of deficit two years
ago 100000 in State warrants
were issued, now comes another
issue of $150,000, How long
shall this thing continue? Shall
there be an issue of warrants
every two years. If so, will it
not be a matter of time when

in this manner:
What we want is dollar easy to
get and hard TO let go; dollar that
will pay 81 worth OF debts and then
come back by means of string at
tachment; dollar that snuggles
easy in the socks of John Smith, but
withers like mamma of old in safe
of a railroad president; dollar that
will buy some meat and -four while IL
buys much whiskey and tobacco;
dollar above drawing interest and
yet will double itself while The own
er sits in the shade and spi's at q
crack in the pavement; dollar tbat
will circulate without deprecistings;;
will buy shoes for baby While It buys
fun for q mah IN places where be
can't take his wife dollar that will
surely repair the waste of sloth, APP
petite and bad Judgement; ~ dollar
that comes to the lap Of fDdolence
like worms to the craw of fatherless
robin; dollar that will remove the
sentence prom junced upon Adam,
reverse the order of nature and
transform the nature of men. This,
according TO our esteemed contempo-
raries, is the kind of dollar we want.

ELECTION DAY.

A day that has long been anti
cipated has at last arrived and
when the implacable hands of
Time will point to the hour of
six, the tide of public favor will
bear high on its crest those that
have conformed themselves to the
demands of the voters and the
wheel of defeat will have crushed
many who, no doubt, are deserv-
ing men.
Elections are always productive
of two extremes-~joy and sorrow.
While the breast OF the elected is
filed with pride and satisfaction,
the other is bowed down with the
stigma of defeat, for well known
as it is that not more than one
man can be elected to Office, yet
if there were score running for
the same office, 19 of the number
would be sorely disappointed.
The people of Hancock county
have always done the proper thing

their proverbial clear sightedness.

they are both reliable mon, one

other Offices there are more can

are good men, fully deserving
the honor they ask at the hands
of the people, and it would be an
unpardonable breach were old

ored attributes by making selec.
tions unworthy of itself.

its choice amongst some of tn,
candidates and we to-day agar
recommend to the voters of Han
cock county those that we have
selected; but we contume no can
Edidate, believing that they are
all good and honest men, tryins

plain, honest decision is all We
ask.
