Hon. w. D.. Jones has been expert
menting at his spring hill ranch trying to
find the spot for an artesian we'll. John
Zimmerman drove to the depth OF 85
feet in what appeared to be a promising
location, but found no water. Another
place was selected and upon reaching a
depth of 25 feet a flow of water was
struck during the dry weather when the
water was at a much lower stage than
usual. The water flows to the surface,
filling a six inch pipe, and the success of
the experiment is assured.

Sheep are being driven in large num-
bers to the north of the Marids, and
what they will do for water is a matter
of doubt, as the prairie is as dry as it
was last fall. Representatives of the F
outfit have been trying to run a big
bluff, trying to make people believe
that the company had scripped all the
land in the vicinity of water, but one ut
the sneepmen investigated, not taking
their word for it, and found that the
company had not scripped an acre of
land away from the river. Naturally,
the bluff did not work, and people are
wondering why the company does not
swap it's cattle for hogs; it would be so
much more in unison with IT'S policy

THE PROHIBITION FIGHT.

Rev. A. w. Bealer, in Atlanta Journal:
From present indications the next polti-
cal campaign is going to be the liveliest
ever witnessed in Georgia. Under the
leadership of Hon. w. J. Northen the
friends of temperance are going into the
fight to put whisky out of the state.
They WILL they can. get what they want
through the Democratic party, but If that
fails to recognize them, they are going
to fight out the question alone. DR..
f. II. Kerfoot is chairman of the Inter
oenominational Temperance Committee.
At the session of the convention, last
Saturday night, he reported the work OF
the committee. He then asked that he
be relieved from further service and sug-
&c sted that ex-Gov. Northen be appoint
ed in his place. This was done by vote
of $50 to A. The four who objected did
SO because they were afraid that 1t would
be an infringement upon the old dictrine
of the separation of church and state.
They stated afterwards that they would
go with their brethren. The convention s
position is that there should be no union
between church and state, but, If a great
moral reform is needed, the church ought
not to hesitate to go after it, even II 1t
has TO go through politics to get it, The
convention has no authority to bind any
body, but IL simply asks that the preach
ers urge this matter upon their congre-
cations. Moral force of this can be seen
when it is remembered that these men
represent constituency of 10000 people
and that the Methodist represent a con-
stituency of 10000, giving a voting con-
stituency Of about 5000 people. There
may be some who will hold aloof from
this movement. but there are a great ma
icrity who are in it, heart and soul. and
they are going to give the devil the live
lest tussle he has ever had. DR.. Ker-
foot, an old Kentucky whisky campaign
er, has laid the foundation for the move
ment. Now it has fallen into the hands
of ex-Gov. Northen, and he is an expe-
rienced man in campaigning. The COM
mittee will seek to get what it wants
through the existing political powers In
Georgia, but if not able to do that, will
as ] said before. go Il alone.

SHORT MORE THAN $4,000.

Cobb county is in the midst of SEN
sstion. caused by the discovery, recently
made, that her various fiduciary officers
are short in their accounts more than
ten thousand dollars. The finance COM
nittee reports that W. r. Montgomery,
former clerk and treasurer, is due the
county on Illegal charges the sum OF
@S7S,42. John NJ. Stone, former ordinary,
has made Illegal charges amounting to
81, 655. Former sheriffs are also due the
county several hundred dollars. Messrs
Stone and Montgomery held office long
time in Cobb county, and were defeated
last year by very narrow majorities. They
were very popular men. and the public
did not suspect that they were making
illegal charges against the county NO In
dicements have been returned by the
grand jury and the county authorities VIII
probably institute civil suits for the re-
covery of the amounts claimed to have
been Illegally obtained.
