An Appeai to General Assem- bly,

Gentlemen of this noble body,
You have met to .legislate,
To enact and to repeal laws
For the uplift of our State.
Mid the stress of other duties,
Don't neglect the demon-drink,
Man your guns and give him battle;
Duty calls you-dare not shrink.
He who votes for liquor license
Cringes low at Mammon's heels,
But "the jingle of the guinea
Helps the hurt that honor feels"
He who votes for liquor license
Cares not for the orphans tear,
Nor the bitter grief of mothers,
AS they bend above the bier.
Of their bruised, disfgu,ed loved ones
Killed in licensed liquor dens; y
Murdered by the devils agents.
Poor enslaved, besotted men.
He who votes for liquor license Z.
Votes for tragedy and woe,
Sanctions every evil passion >.
That the human heart can know.
He who votes for liquor license,
In his sordid lust for gold,
Votes to lose all hope of heaven
And to curse his brothers. soul.
Brothers, give us prohibition,
Put an end to whiskey's reign.
Then our mouths are filled with laugh
ter, :.
And our tongues shall sing again.
Will you do as some have told us;
Laugh our prayers and hopes to scorn
Saying, ''They are Xomen's notions,
And of foolish fancy ,born.''
No! my soul resents the outrage;
You can ne'er put us to shame;x
Dixie's sons and chivalry
Were and ever are the same.
May you prove very stone-wall,
Firm, unshaked, true as he;
Dare to heed the call of duty
Like the south's own chieftain, Lee.
When the sword of prohibition
Puts to flight Che ''whiskey ring"
Then from dreams we'll wake with
laughter,
And the captives:: tongue shall sing!

Old War Claims May Yet Be
Paid,

About $40. 100000 may be secured
from the government by people of the
South if bill reported unanimously
by the house committee on war claims
becomes law. The bill gives to the
court of claims Jurisdiction of the
claims for captured and abandoned
property which was sold during the
Civil war and the proceeds turned
into the United States treasury. Dur
ing that war the government author
lied the seizure Of abandoned prop
erty, to be sold and the net proceeds
placed in the United States treasury.
There was provision that if any one
should bring suit within two years
after the close of the war and prove
that the property sold belonged to
him the money received for it should
be paid over, but to do this the citi-
zen bringing the suit had to prove
loyalty to the Union. This disquah-
fed most Southerners until the
amnesty proclamation was declared
in 1866, which came too late to take
the claims to court, the two years
grace having expired. The object of
this bill is to enable the original own
ers of the confscated property to get
the money it brought when sold.
