liquor traffic: but instead you inform
the government by your ballot that
you are perfectly satisfied with the
present condition of things and that
they shall continue. You legalizeo
the saloons that made me drunkard
and a murderer and you are guilty
with me before God and man for the
murder Of my wife. Your honor, Il
am done. am now to receive my
sentence and be led forth to the place
Of execution and be murdered Accord
ing to the laws Of this state. You
will close by asking tise Lord to have
mercy upon my soul. will eiase By
solemnly asking God to open your
blind eyes to the truth of your own
individual responsibility SO that you
will cease Co give your support to this
hell born traffic.
Can it be possible tiias che con.
sciences Of men are so calloused that
an appeal like the above will make no
impression upon them but will vote
with party that fosters and protects
the cursed liquor traffic for revenue
that keeps the 10000 slaughter dens
of our governments deing business !?
May God open their blind eyss that
they may see that temperance reform
does not rest with the old parties and
that they will cease to help the saloon
keeper sharpen sticks to put their own
eyes out with and undermine our
government which they ara surely
doing when they vote with party
pledged to high or low license.
The more respectable You try to
make the liquor traffic the more
aeylish it becomes the more harm
it will do=-the more Of orr boys and
girls it will dsag aoWp to eter al
ruin and destruction,
Is it not about time we stopped
doing the devils work? We think
SO. If you do, then vote FOR the over
throw Of the license system and not
for its perpetu alton through either Of
the old parties.

Several years ago the state of
Georgia appropriated $4,000 for
an immigration department. A
representative was sent to Eu-
rope to interest the people to
come to this country. He was
German and induced his sister.
in-law to come over. She settled
in Atlanta, married here and had
one child. These two additions
to Georgia's population were the
total results of the states $1O,-

The railroads, however, have
been working systematically for
years to bring in new settlers
and fresh capital. They have di-
rected their efforts chiefly to the
work of interesting the thrifty
farmers and mechanics of the
west, and they have located
thousands of them in the Caro-
linas, Georgia, Alabama and 9th

now planning to get immigrants
direct from Europe for the South

news that fifty or more of those
