DRINK HABIT IS PUNISHED.

Rev. DIR. Guirey gave an H.
Illustrated lecture on the liquor
traffic to a crowded house in the
First Baptist church last night.
The lecture was altogether out
of the beaten path, the main
feature of which was an origi-
nal dra wing on a large canvas
nine feet by seven, of a brewery
on one side and a distillery ON
the other. Out of the brewery
came a long procession of aui-
mated kegs, bottles, cans mugs
and glasses bearing the mot
toes: Down with the church,
up with the brewery" Down
with the home, up with the
still" Down with the school,
up with the bottle" followed
by the others with the motto:
so say we all of u.s." At the
same time, they were supposed
to be trampling on law, relig-
ION and morality.
Out of the distillery CANA
into the foreground an enor-
nous serpent: This was the
liquor traffic, and it was coil
ing itself around the home, the
church, and the school, and
crushing these into ruin. Over
the scene was written Ruin
and death" On one side was
a large bottle-this was THE
Bottle of Death'-the letters
being in the form of an acrostic.
The doctor drew Il lesson
from each word of the acrostic.
He had an imaginary jury OF
twelve drinking men to whom
and to the common sense of his
audience he frequently appeal.
ed as he made his points. He
declared that the perpetuation
of the liquor traffic meant just
what was pictured on his can
vas. He scored numerically
the professedly Christian voters
who prayed the Lord to put an
end to the fearful evils of in
temperance, and at the same
time voting to perpetuate the
saloon and the liquor traffic.
He appealed to the voters in
the churches to be consistent
with their profession. and vote
as they pray. Either vote down
the liquor power or cease pray.
ing against it-be consistent;
vote as you pray. Don't pray
to God to destroy the evils of
the liquor traffic and then vote
for the devil to continue the
business. The doctor declared
that we were a nation of drunk
ards, that the liquor power was
the most influential in the land;
! that the annual drink bill
amounted to S7OO,OOO,O 900.
This morning the saloons
were open as usual.-Qulncy

State Railways as an Issue.

From the Chicago Post.
 In connection with the Boston & Al bany railroad lease, to which there IS some ineffective opposition. ex-Sen- ator Henery l.. Dawes, of Massachu- setts, never regarded as anything but a conservative statesman, has made a strange suggestion. II am' he says, lin favor of the state purchasing the road, and believe it is an opportunity that should not be allowed to pass. ''
 The state has an interest Tn the Bos- ton & Albany, and an old law provides for the right Of purchase on certain conditions. The ninety-nine year lease would practically destroy the state's interest and reversionary right, and this the ex.senator opposes. He holds that just at this time, when municipal, state and national own ership of great corporations fo~ pub lie service is being agitated, it would De unwise and wrong to authorize the lease which would deprive Massach- usetts of the right to acquire the val uable property on reasonable terms. The eX-senator continues: "I believe that the sale of the road should be made q campaign issue, and that the people of the state should be aroused to the conditions and result of the sale. 1
 Now, these are extraordinary state Dawes personally favors state acquisi- tioD and operation of the road under the original grant of authority, but he would refer the matter to the peo- pie at an election and make govern ment railroads political issue. Could a fu.l-hedged socialist go farther? It is true that 'just now there is some agitation among the people for munic- ipal and state and national ownership and operation of public utilities, " but it is not for conservative and sober minded men to encourage this agita- tion, which is merely a reaction from abuses of short-sighted private corpo- rations. Let there be fair dealing be- tween the public and corporations, proper compensation for franchises and discharge of obligations assumed. and the demand for socialism will die out. It is absurd to speak of the agi- fation as an excuse for radical exDeri- ments of a socialistic character The Dawes proposal would give socialism and extraordinary stimulus, eonsu- nation scarcely to be wished.

To the Cotton Farmers.

The time win soon arrive for the marketing of the next cotton crop and unless a change is made as to the mode of doing it the same low level of prices that was current last year will inevitable by the result It IS a we'll established fact that large port and interior receipts during the months of Septemb Der, October and November are the great factors in making prices, and it is in your power to prevent this as you have the remedy in your own hands which is to hold back on your farms one third of your ginning until after December or January. The two thirds will bring nearly as much mon ey marketed in this way as the whole crop marketed in the usual way.
 In doing this you will not be depriv- ing the merchants or the banks to whom you are under obligations of what they are justly entitled to, but on the other hand, protecting almost their salvation as we'll as your own.
 The government says the acreage in cotton lands is eight per cent less than last year and that the July conditions is (three four tehths) per cent less, or total depreciation of 1i.4 (eleven four tenths) per cent.
 Estimating the current crop at IL, 200, 900 bales it means a shrinkage of l.277, ,00O bales, or crop of 9,023, 900 bales for 1899 1900.
 Notwithstanding all this, and the further fact that the cotton mills throughout the country are making profits ranging from 20 per cent 10 40 per cent, mighty efforts are being made to create the impression that the crop will be an enormous one, with the view of getting your cotton cheap and it is for you to determine whether the greedy spinner will succeed.
 You will be assailed by the willy speculator with all kinds of arguments to prevent you from holding your cot ton, but it is your only weapon and your financial salvation depends upon it's use.
 We will keep thls appeal prominent. ly forward in our colums and devote a part of each issue in earnestly advo- eating it, and we ask our associates of the press, merchants and baukes, who are equally interested with us in build ing up the prosperity of our Southern country, to join and aid us in our eff forts -Nachez Missl Democrat.
