PROHIBITION IN GEORGIA.
Toledo Blade.l

Toledo Blade.l
The Georgia Legislature recently
passed bill, which has received
the signature of Governor Hoke
Smith, providing for absolute pro-
hibition of the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors. The bill prohibits the
manufacture or keeping on hand
in any place Of business, the sale
or giving away to induce business
within the State of any liquor that
may produce intoxication. The
new law is to become effective on
January l, 1908.
The Southern States are aggres-
sive in temperance work, although
Georgia is the first to declare for
absolute prohibition. Already 124
of its LAG counties are without the
saloon.
In Tennessee all the territory
except four municipalities, which
have restrictions, is without the
saloon.
In Alabama a majority of the
counties are dry, and the last leg
islature enacted q comfy local on
tion law.
In Florida 27 of the 45 counties
are without the saloon, and the
people are moving for absolute
State prohibition.
Sixty of the rs counties of Ar
kansas are dry.
Seven-eights of Louisiana is dry
and orders may not be solicited or
received in that part of the States
territory.
A campaign for State prohibi-
ton is on in North Carolina, and
the governor is leading the fight.
County aftercounty in Kentucky
have abolished the saloon, and the
same is true Of South Carolina.
Two-tbirds Of the State of Texas
is dry, and movement is on foot
for absolute prohibition.
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1907-08-16

In fact to be successful in, secur.
ing& house, you must speak for il
at least six months or year in adj
vance. Houses going up all the
time, too.
Strangers here very frequently
compliment our town on its quiet
peaceful Sundays. 1t seems that
rowdyism and many other evils
disappeared with the passing of
the saloons, and Camden is all-the
better for it.
The show last week did not do a
land Office business in Camden,
and the reason was apparent. A
good, clean show will usually draw
a good crowd, but our people keep
a firm grip on their pocketbooks
whenever bum outfit makes its
appearance.
Work is under way on the new
livery stable of Mrs. Maud Plant.
The building has been leased by
Mckenzie parties, who will open
a livery stable as soon as they are
given possession. The construc-
tion work will be pushed to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible.
Pause a moment when you go to
throw trash and refuse into the
street or back alley, and think how
much better it would look to dump
them into a nearby gully, and in
the course of time>you will fill the
gully. Then again, your premises
will be more wholesome from q
sanitary standpoint.
Every autumn for the past three
years the building operations in
Camden become quite active, and
this year more buildings are plan
ned now than is usual at this sea-
son. The building activities are
not confined entirely to the town
and to it's suburbs, but are broad
cast. This is a good indication
of prosperity, not alone in Cam
The Camden chronicle. (Camden, Tenn.) 1890-current, 1907-08-16

The new State of Oklahoma will
vote for and adopt a constitution
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale of liquors.
Thus it seems that the South is
leading a winning fight against
the saloon. The action of Geor-
gia is as certain to be followed by
number Of other Southern States
as that day follows night.
One argument used effectively
in the Georgia campaign was that.
the negroes commit the most des-
perate crimes when under the in
fluence of liquor, and that mobs
bent on lynchings are nerved for
their work by strong drink.
One thing is apparent, and that
is that the liquor traffic in the
Southern States is doomed, and
that, following the lead of Georgia,
State after State in that section
will soon declare for absolute pro-
hilton.

REVIVAL AT POSTOAK.
Editor THE CHRONICLE.

Editor THE CHRoNIcLE:
The revival at Postoak Church
closed Friday, August 9, and ii
was one Of the best we have ever
had there; many conversions and
large number of them joined the
church. 1t was certainly won
derful meeting, and the people
have been made much better by
attending it.
Brother E. M. Mathis was ably
assisted in the meeting by Rev. s.
FL. Blackwell of Huntingdon. He
is power in a revival of this kind,
for he and Brother Mathis GER
tainly know how to do their work
for the Lord and do it we'll.
We only wish that we could have
a meeting of this kind every year
at this church, and hope that every
church will have a meeting like
the one just closed, for it is great
benefit to the people of the'com-
munity in which the church is sit
uated.
Respectfully,

1t was reported that all arrange
ments had been made for Labor Day,
and that there was every indication
that the celebration would be a sue
cess Mr.. Griffith, who is largely in
terested in the concessions at Capital
Beach, appeared before the meeting
to offer a proposition to hold the ce1e-
bration at the Beach, but the central
body decided that it had no control
of the matter, and the committeeman
present thought it best not to inter-
fere with arrangements already made.
The announcement that the Citizens
Street Railway Co. had donated $40
towards defraying the expenses of the
celebration was greeted with applause.

to buy a little farm. Later falling
health in the family forced him to
leave the farm and he came to Lin
coin. He bought lunch house near
the Burlington depot, worked night
and day, lost no opportunity to make
friends by leaving satisfied customers,
saved his money and invested it in
Lincoln property. Every dollar he
has was honestly made and has been
honestly used. Being a representative
citizen and an interested taxpayer, he
would make a good county commits
sioner. The Wageworker does not
know Mr.. Bennett personally. but it
knows his record, and it is the kind
of a record that recommends its pos
SCISSOR to the confidence of the peo-
pie. His record during his short serv-
ice in the council shows that the pos
session of competency has not made
him feel above those who still have
to toll for a daily wage, and it fur
tner shows that he is in full sympa-
thy with the principles of trades
unionism The Wageworker believes
that the election of Mr.. Bennett
would give the toilers a friend in
court

come unqualified successes. This
fact is especially true among the large
wholesale and manufacturing con-
Germs.
Every year adds to our now excel
lent railroad facilities and where few
years ago for lack of these we could
not successfully compete with Omaha,
Sioux City and St. Joseph. we can
now meet them on an equal footing
What has been accomplished along
this line has only been made possible
by the character of the men who have
had the growth and progress of Lin
coin in their hands. Their untiring
efforts have gained for them the rank
they now take. Out of the numer-
Gus examples which might be cited
there stands out a notable incident,
that of the Western Supply Company,

preciate the relentless competition in
this line and this fact only adds more

he has, as a member of the city
council, refused to grant any further
concessions to the Lincoln Traction
company. This opposition has been
so plain that every reader of the
morning Traction organ could see it.
All this is, or should be, quite enough
to induce every republican working
man in Mr.. Benefits district to vote
for him at the primaries
But aside from this, Mr. Bennett
has other claims for support. He has
been a resident Of Lancaster county
for many years. He came to the coun-

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.
Union Scale Of Wages the Just Basis
of Remuneration.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
Walter A. Leese, who is a candidate
before the republican primaries for
the nomination as county judge. In
this connection The Wageworker de-
which will very plainly set forth Mr..
Leases attitude towards organized
labor
Some ten or eleven years ago, while
Mr.. Leese was a justice of the peace
in Lincoln, a member of Lincoln Typo
graphical Union No. 2O9 brought suit
before him against publishing cor
poration for wages earned. The de-
Tense was that the man had been
paid enough, but the plaintiff set
forth that he was a member of the
union and entitled to the union scale
of wages The amount involved-the
difference between the amount paid
and the union scale demanded-waa
less than So.
Mr. Leese decided that the plaintiff
was entitled to recover, holding that
the union scale of wages was the
prevailing scale" and that in the alb
sence of any definite agreement as
to wages the union scale for that par
ticular craft should be paid. The
case was appealed to the district
court and the decision rendered by
Justice Leese was upheld
This little bit of history should rec
ommend Mr. Leese to the union voters
of Lancaster county.

what it is today.
From an unpretentious start in 1892
they have had gradual but hea1thful

CENTRAL LABOR UNION.
Short Meeting and For Lest Time In
the Old Hall.


The Central Labor Union met Tues
day evening at 1884 o street, but it
the last meeting in the old building.
When the building on the corner was
removed to make room for the new
Little block, it sounded the death
knall of the old building in which the
central body has met so long, and
it has been condemned. The next
meeting of the central body, which
occurs on Tuesday, September 10, will
be held in Bruse's hall. In the mean
time an effort will be made to secure
a regular rate for Carpenters hall.
Little business of Importance came
before the meeting. Charley Bowen,
proprietor of the Pioneer barber shop,
presented a grievance against the ac-
ton of the local BARRIERS union in ar
bitrarily raising the prices to be
charged the public. The central body,
of which Mr.. Bowen was long a faith
full member, listened to his grievance,
but decided that it had no Jurisdiction
in the premises, and could not have
until the local brought the matter to
the body for adjudication. The mat
ter. however, brought to light the
fact that several of the boss BARRIERS
had combined to force tho oman sbon

BOOSTING FOR BENNETT
All Advocates Of the Square Deal
Backing His Candidacy.

Unusual interest attaches to the
candidacy of John r. Bennett, who
is candidate before the republican
primaries for the nomination as
county commissioner. The district
which Mr.. Bennett seeks to represent
embraces the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth
wards and precinct B of the Second
ward, in the city of Lincoln. The
interesting feature is the attempt Of
the Traction company interests to
"get even" with Mr.. Bennett because
