ATLANTA, Ga June 22.-(Special correspond
ence. )-From many northern states come letters
almost daily urging distinguished Georgian to
make the race for the Presidency the Prohibi-
ton issue. Georgia is the storm center of the
Prohibition movement which is sweeping through
the South One of its most conspicuous and
trusted leaders is the Hon Seaborn Wright, who
for quarter of a century has fought consistently,
with great energy and ability to drive the license
system from the South Without him Georgia
would not be under Prohibition and his influence
has contributed much to the cause in the other
states. Speaking nightly to audiences of from
three to ten thousand people, he has had marvel
Gus success in changing sentiment and arousing
the people for the abolition of drink Only the
other day in the Louisiana legislature, which he
was invited to address, the members, including
the anti Prohibition delegation from New Orleans,
rose enmasse, stood on their chairs, waved their
arms and shouted under the sway of his eloquence.
This is the man. who on moral question can
transform the political convictions in a whole
county with but speech. The men in Ameri-

court of Georgia He was strong Union man,
supported Douglas and fought secession until
the passage of the ordinance, then went with his
state and served in the Confederate Congress
throughout the war He belonged to the peace
party of the Confederacy. The mother of Seabofn
Wright was Addie Altman, a native of North
Carolina.
Seaborn Wright has never been classed as a
Bourbon Democrat, but a man of utmost indie
pendence in political action. For the most part
of third of a century he has been in the Georgia
legislature and conspicuous leader in that
body Hundreds of his friends of political infu
ence wished him to be governor and United States
Senator and these offices may have been within
his grasp, but he never aspired to them. His leg
slative campaigns have been peculiar, inasmuch
as he has been elected at various times as
Democrat, Populist, Prohbitionist and Independ
ent. His last appearance in that body will be at
the coming regular session which opens this week
In 1896 there was coalition of the Populists and
Prohibitionists with Prohibitionsts on the
Popu1ist ticket headed by Seaborn Wright
with statewide Prohibition the issue. This
candidate supported by Tom Watson,
Sam Jones, Walter B. Hill, John Tenn
pie Graves and other noted Georgians. Col
Frank J. Sibey, now a member of the Prohbi-
ton national committee of the
ayers of that campaign Seaborn Wright polled
10000 votes which was three-fourths of the
white vote, but was defeated by the heaviest
negro registration ever known
Mr. Wright has rendered valuable service to
his state in shaping her legislation for many
years.

DETROIT, MICH, June 16-(Special correspond
ence)-We are frequently told, nowadays, that
drink plays only very minor part in the di-
evil. Probably, if all the particulars of
divorce cases were published, we should find that
many cases of cruelty and infdelity, in the
trials of which the drink is not mentioned
actually have their origin in whisky and beer
Sometimes, there is reason to believe, the feature
of drunkenness is purpose1y omitted from pub
lished reports, for reasons best known in news
paper offices.
Yesterday seven women were granted divorces
from their husbands in this city. Of the
three were ON the surface drink
The published reports suggest drink in three of
the others.
In the first case tried the complaining wife tes-
titled
"He came home about two in the morning and
wanted lunch When didn't want to set it
out for him, he hit me in the neck Then I ran
to neghbors and sent private detective over
to ask him to take Turkish bath and sober up
Did he do it? | should say not He sent back
word that he would put my coffin against the
wall under the telephone and he described the
shroud he was gong to buy for me, SO | didn't
go near him any more.
Gle used to come home two or three times
week drunk and abuse me. I left him twice but
he would promise to be good and | would go
back"
Another case is reported in brief:
"Gusta Grossman will get decree because her
husband drank and deserted her in 1905"
In another case the report says:
"Bertie ellison testified that her husband Alison
dragged her across a room and tried to hold her
face against hot stove That happened i'll
Centerve and she left him because he came
home drunk so often They were married on
Christmas day, 1895"

Mr. Wright's final conclusion, the article which
of the personality of who has contributed
movement through the southern states.
politics who can do this are exceedingly
scarce. Lincoln such and some have
tured to say, here is another Lincoln, the
who will lead America in its fight against the
organized liquor traffic.
Seaborn Wright possesses a most charming
personality. His winning smile, his high pene-
trating voice. his unquestioned sincerity his spot
less life, his devotion to high ideals, his keen
political acunen, his ability as a constitutional
lawyer, his record as statesman all combine to
make him leader among men.
Seaborn Wright is the flower of the South-the
old aristrocracy but without an aristocratic hair
in his head. His father was large slave holder,
yet he, by his gentleness and kindness, is ever a
recognized protector of the negro. He is RICH but
the friend of the poor. He is great as citizen,
lawyer and man, but is simple modest and
most approachabe.
Born near Rome Floyd county, north of At
1anta, November 3d. 1857, he is now in the prime
of life with possibility of great political record
before him. His education was obtained in Mercer
University, from which he was graduated in 1875.
He was married to Miss Anna E. Moore, daughter
of W. A. Moore, who for many years
tensve dry goods importer in this city. Five boys
bless their beautiful home at Rome and the oldest,
Barry Wright, lawyer but twenty-five years of
age, has just been elected member of the
Georgia legislature to succeed his father. The
Wright family are all members of the Presbyterian
church into which Mr. Wright came soon after his
marriage, his wife being of that faith. He was
raised Baptist and when in this city generally
worshps at DR.. Broughton's Baptist Tabernacle
All his life Seaborn Wright has lived in Rome
He is an extensive farmer and fruit raiser, having
many plantations. His 10000 peach trees are COW
cred with fruit which will be marketed within the
next fortnight. On his place is water power and
some days he may be found at the mill grinding
his wheat He loves Gods great out-of-doors and
delights to mngle with the flowers, roam the
fields and woods.
Judge Augustus R. Wright, father of Seaborn
Wright, was one of the most famous lawyers at

aud the police are searching for Pasquslt
Agnie, young man of 20 yesrs, to whom
she was to have been married within q
few weeks. The girl has bullet wound
in her abdomen, which, the physicians
st the hospital say, cannot but prove
fatal They believe that the wound wss
self-inAlcted, but the police are anxious
to have Agnie tell what his knows of the
circumstances leading up to the tragedy.
From infor nation obtained at the

that there has been a serious misunder-
standing between the young couple grow
ing out of plans for their approaching
wedding. Antoinette aud her parents
wanted big public wedding with much
ceremony. Agnie, however, told them
he had no use for church weddings, that
he would have none OF it, and that he
and Antoine to would be msrfied quiet

Antoineite grieved deeply over the de-
