D|SPENSARy BILL
VETOED BY GOVERNOR,
"DelusiOn and a Snare"
is what Governor Cam
der Calls the Bill.

Governor Gambler vetoed Seab
Wright's whiskey dispensary bill and
he gave good reasons for it. He said it
was ambiguous-that it meant either
dispensaries or barrooms, with no
chance to vote for prohibition.
Governor Gambler further says: sit
is evident that it was drafted with spe-
cial reference to the wet" counties in
the state, and without regard to those.
more than ninety per cent of the whole,
in which liquors cannot now be lawful
~ sold at all. Its effect would be to
precipitate elections in all of the coun-
ties which have, under the local option
law. prohibited the sale of liquor with
in their borders, in order to give the
wet counties a chance to establish dis
pensaries to lose those counties which
have been saved in order to save those
which have been lost; to damn the re-
deemed by an awkward device to re-
deem the damned"
Hon. Seab Wright says he will now
vote to sustain the governors veto, and
after the legislature is over, he will not
offer for another office, but will retire
to private life.
Rev. Sam Jones has also Fecanted
and says it would have been bad thing
if the bill had not been vetoed.
The Governor did right, and PROV
ed breakwater in preventing the peo-
pie from being flooded with whiskey,
and preventing interminable strife and
bitterness over frequent elections in all
the dry counties in the state. If Gov
ernor Gambler had done nothing else
worthy of mention during his incum-
bency of the. Executive chair, he de-
serves the gratitude of the people in
vetoing this faulty and mischievous
dispensary bill. Seab Wright has been
erratic in his politics, and has demon
strated that he is erratic in his temper
ance principles and judgment. Ali
honor to Governor Gambler.

SAFE BLOWERS
VISIT SMYRNA,
The Postoffice Safes Dy-
namited and Robbed.
No Clue.

Critic" our Smyrna correspondent.
writes of a robbery in that town as
follows: Last Saturday night robbers
entered the store of s. j. Irelan, who
also is postmaster of Smyrna, and help
ed themselves to all in sight. They
drilled the safe of the postoffice and
also the safe of Mr.. Parker Rice and
blew them open with some explosive
presumably dynamite, or nitro-glycer-
inc. They then carried away all the
postoffice funds, stamps, and stamped
envelopes. In Mr.. Rice's safe they
found no valuables, but both safes are
ruined by the explosion. The Job was
evidently done by experts as the work
was thoroughly done they having
piled flour, bolts of cloth and other
stuff against the safes to muffle the
sound of the. explosion. 1t is no
known what amount they secured but
it will amount to several hundred dol
lars. There is no clue to the robbers,
save few footprints at the back door
of the store where they entered and
left the place.

YOUR DUTY
TO HOME MERCHANTS
They Have Holiday Goods
of Every Description.
Build Up Home.

The Christmas holidays will soon be
upon us. Our merchants have put in
splendid stocks of goods in all lines,
which are generally sought during the
holiday season. 1t is nothing more than
right and just that our people should
give them their trade and thereby help
sustain them in business. The trade
this fall has not been all that was ex-
pected. Farmers have done but little
trading in comparison with what they
have done formerly, and every well
wisher of our town and county should
see to it that their trade this season
should be given to home merchants
Don't 60 to Atlanta, but patronize home
people, who help pay the taxes and
make contributions to all your enter
prises, and who afford you accommoda-
tons when you need il The way to
build up Marietta is to contribute your
good words when you can, and your
money, when you have trading to do, to
home merchants and business men.
You will find in Marietta stores arti-
Giles of every description and sold as
reasonable as any Atlanta house. So
place your patronage at home, and
thereby keep your money at home, so it
may come back to you again. If you send
