Local Option Election Friday Dec. 9Th.

The election set for the above date
should bring every man to the coils
that favor the moral and intellectual
elevation Of our country. That there
has been great revolutions in regard to
the drinking customs of our people are
uuquestionable. This revolution has
necessarily caused change of senti-
ment in regard to the sale of whisky.
There is a tidal wave of prohibition
sweeping over our beautiful south
land and penetrating many of the liqu-
or Businesses Of the East and North.
Tennessee, Georgia and Texas are
largely under the control of prohibition
laws. Quite number Of the other
southern states are falling into line.
Even Kentucky is not tagging behind in
this movement. About two-thirds of
Of the counties in Kentucky are already
under local option rule. Almost every
month some county in the state votes
on this question, and, so tar, with one
or two exceptions, every county has
voted for local option. Can the citizens
of this county afford to vote against it?
Certainly not There are only two or
three reasons which man could posi-
bly, have for voting against local option.
The man who wants TO sell il in order
to make money out Of il will vote for
1t. This, perhaps, will include dozen
men in our county. These men want
to make money whatever may be
the results Of their business. This is
purely selfish motive. There is an
other class that may vote for it because
they love to drink il. They want to
make provision &c fulfill the lusts of
the flesh, Rom. 1874. They want il to
satisfy an abnormal appetite. They
want to make il convenient for them
TO get il regardless Of consequences of
the rising generation. When you hear
a man say that prohibition does not
prohibit, or that there is ''more
whisky sold under local option than
under saloons" forty-nine cases out Of
fifty that man loves his dram and wants
to make II convenient TO get. Not
understanding il may subject his boys
to the greatest temptation and to the
probability Of becoming a drunkard,
yet he will vote for il, because he
loves il. There is only one other reas-
on that | can see why a man should
vote against local option; that is for
the revenue. Shall we subject the
young men Of our county to the insidi-
Gus temptations Of the saloon for few
paltry dollars? Would we measure the
character and destiny Of young man.
hood in dollars and centsg Have we no
higher ideals Of life than this? Let us
give such an overwhelming majority on
the It'll. OF December and will give no
uncertain sound in regard TO the moral
and intellectual development Of our
country. JAMES +. PRICE.
