"We are convinced by our past and
present experience in our efforts to
bring about this better state of things
that no reliance is to be placed in leg
islators who are controlled by policy
and not principle, and We are panied
to realize that such men stand ready
at the bidding Of a leader who may
not be moved by high moral principle
in his public acts, to set aside their
most sacred vows to God, to shut their
hearts against the most pathetic APP
peals Of humanity, and violate what
they declare to be the convictions of
their OWE condolences, If by so doing
they can secure q continuance in Of
fee or the favor of their partisan lead
ers.
"We therefore conclue that the only
hope for permanently reforming the
laws, and through them influence the
habits and morals Of the people, is in
the persistent effort to unite in organ
ization all friends of temperance, and
by holding meetings, studying Gods
word on the subject, and going to him
in prayerfor guidance, will create such
a sentimentthrough the entire country,
that no matter who are our lawmakers,
they will give what the Christian
people Of the State want on this sub
ject.
$40 this issue the Gospel Temper
ance Union is unalterably committed,
and to its support it invites every fol-
lower Of Christ of whatever name, and
every citizen in the State who has de-
termined to stand for the protection
of the homes, the mothers and the
children Of this fair State from im-
pending ruin, which a perpetuation Of
the States traffic in liquor is sure to
bring upon them. In God we trust,
and in His own good time he will
bring about the accomplishmentof His
will in the redemption Of men from
the perverted appetites and passions
which enslave and ruin them, and
their d~eliverance from the greatest
curse which has ever blighted human
ity.
HWe propose to organize unions
among the churches whose members
endorse our views and purposes on
this subject, and by .unifying the sem
timent and effort Of Christians, direct
them against this traffic. In this way,
we believe, legislation can be made
the expression Of the moral principles
Of government, when laws shall be
made by the better class Of society for
the repression Of the vices and evils
brought upon society by the vicious
and the criminal, and not as present,
when politicians seek too often only
to shape legislation to meet the de-;
mands of the evil disposed voters who
thus secure immunity from the conse-
auences which these violation of
right and morality should bring upon
them.
stFor the consummation Of o pur-
pose SO desirable we ask the active CO.
operation Of every good citizen.

Some Sam Jones Stories.

OF course the fact is well known
that Sam Jones once conducted a dray
business in Gainesville. It appears
that as a WAGNER he was as lively as
he is a preacher. A competitor, am
told by an old Cartersvillian, once
tried ITO do Sam on a bit Of trunk
hauling, and the result was one Of the
most exciting scraps which Carriers
vile, noted for scrapS in those days,
ever had the delight Of witnessing.
The denouement was a draymanly ing

riously. knocked out. It wasn't Sam
Jones.
When Mr.. Jones had achieved fame
and some fortune as an evangelist, he
bought his old antagonist the best
mule and the best dray in Gainesville
and gave him a purse Of $50.

thankful to God that I didn't kill you
and that this blot didn't come on my

When Mr.. Jones is in Gainesville,
every poor man in town. a happy. He
drives down town, and picking up.

give him a short outing, and then, Ia

ed to the preacher for financial aid
without he got it, and Mr.. Jones is
identified in this philanthropic way
with every enterprise in town.
One Of the prettiest stories I have
ever heard about this rugged disciple
is told in regard to the sickness of one
of his children. Many Of the most
touching passages in the e%vangelist's
discourses are those which refer in
some tender fashion to his children.
One of them was sick unto death.
The life hung by a thread SO slender
that the faintest breath of fate would
have snapped the fragile cord. But
there was a good and faithful physi-
clan in Gainesville; and this man, l
will not call his name, watched by the
bedside and did such skillful and such
heroic labor that at last the balance
was in life's favor, and the sick one
was restored to the bosom Of the devo-
ted family.
The fee was a snug one, and it was
paid with thanks. But one day some
weeks afterwards, when the wan
cheeks had gained their fullness. and
the white face the pink of health, and
the physician saw an elegant carriage
and a span Of horses standing before
his door.
II wonder whose they are?" the
physician asked, as he looked through
the window at the turnout strange to
Gainesville.
"They are yours" a messengerfr from
Sam Jones shortly told him.-AtlGnta

Chris Moore, in speaking further Of
his own experience with devilfsh,
said: "Some time after the occurrence
described by me in the harbor of Rio
I was aboard the ship Annie Fl. Smith,
bound from San Francisco to Havre,
of which Frank Bartlett, nov living
in New York, was the captain. In
about 80 degrees south latitude, when
at the weeel, I sighted an enormous
monster in the water some two hundred
feet away from the vessel.
"sDevilfsh ahead 7 / cried out,
and Capt. Bartlett, with several of
the crew, Immediately prepared to at
tack the creature. Several shots were
fired at it, which only seemed to ARGUES
it's temper, and it made a savage lunge
at the ships side, passing under the
stern, where it fixed its t~entacles
firmly.
"a number of harpoons were thrust
into it and also a couple of shark
hooks. After a struggle lasting seve-
raj hours the monster was hauled up
on deck. exhausted and practically
dead. 1t weighed at least fifteen
hundred pounds, and its tentaoles
were about ten feet long. A peculiar
thing about it was that it had but one
eye, out of which it glared fercely
when attacked with the %harpoons."

OUTLINE OF 1Hs eAr1ls.
The Presidential Campaign WIN he Fought
ON the Tartfl Issue.

The lines upon which the presidential
campaign az 1896 will lie fought are very
clearly defined. The issue viii bc pro.

tries against free trade.
With the diSgraceful exhibition that
the democratic "taritr for revenue only"
muddlc has made. and is making from
day To day. il is but natural that the
free traders should desire to- shift the
issue away from tine tariff To any other
subject IN creation.
The existing tariff. moreover. is doing
fnirly well for the british friends OF our
Tree traders. for whose benefit IL was
enacted. The teMpcr OF the people will
undoubtedly not permit cf amy further
tariff reform" in the direction OF lower
duties. 80 some other scheme must I've
planned that will maintain the welfnrc
OF England TO the full measure of the
promises made In the free trade cam
paiEn OF iS02.
The longer the German tariff remains
law the better II viii he for England.
The only chance OF its remaining law is
by cheating the people into belief that
something else is more important. The
frce-tradc bureau OF the Golden club is
in full blast working to this end. Many
republican papers have already been
hoodwinked, notably three in New York
city which used to profess that they
were solely interested in the protection
OF American labor and industries. but
which are now busily engaged In the cir.
culation of the Cobdcn clubs new
tangled heresies. Every word which
they print i'm favor of this doctrine is a
stab nj the industrial interests of the
United States. inasmuch as il diyerts at
tention from the one real issue OF pro-
lection.
The question for republican newspa.
pcrs 10 decide is; Whether IL Is better
for American labor TO be busily en-
ploycd earning good wages, or is il bet
ter that American labor should be idle
md earning no wages. In the one case
our industrial work will Ice performed
