A Brave Newspaper.

The Georgian. one OF the great
est newspapers in the State Of
q .orgia, uttered the followin brave
words few weeks ago;
"a great question has arisen.
II has come suddenly. II is not
question of men. II is not a ques-
ton Of politics, It may be ques-
ton of sentiment 1t may be prin.
eiple. Il may be fanaticism. The
Georgian doesn't care what 1t is
called. Il is an effort in the Gen.
oral Assembly to prohibit the man
ufacture aud sale Of intoxicating
drink as a beverage 10 the State Of
Georgia. The question is so great
that Il seems to DO the duty of the
Georgian to lay aside any aud every
rule or policy that iuterferes with
advocating aud supporting the
measure. and we now aud hereby
| give all the energy, support, and
power that in this paper lies to the
end that the prohibition legislation
now pending in the State shall be.
come a law"
| And for its reasons for support
ing the cause Of prohibition we read:
First, we believe it il b,st for
the people.
Second. because we believe that
from three to Ave million doIlsrs a
year in Atlanta goes to the saloon
that may in part go to the dry
goods store. the builder, aud the
contractor. One million in this
ldirection would be better than the
Ave the other way. ".
Third. Wa believe it is beat be.
cause il would do more to regulate
the negro who commits his greatest
crime because OF liquor, aud whose
most venal appetites are fred by 1t
This alone is of sufficient Importance
to try the experiment il all expert
ence ia other States where there Is
no negro population had been absO,
lute failures.
) "Ths Georgian believes that the
acts that brought on the Atlanta
riot were committed largely because
of the aid Of liquor. The Georgian
) aud the people know that the riot
: was started by men from the saloons
on that Saturday night. The
Georgian believes therefore that, 70

us how It can hurt, as seriously a
