Of course, the foregoing is a can
did admission as to the amount of
moral principle involved in the Geor-
gia prohibition movement. Georgia
gentlemen are to be allowed to swill
as much bad liquor as they desire, and
to brutalize themselves at will, but
the Negro must be ''hit''
The fact is that the whole scheme
has turned out to be a farce.

Twenty.four Hours.

From Tuesday night to Wednesday
night the Milwaukee road had the
greatest crush of people to handle
who We're excitably in earnest to
get out TO Chamberlain to register
for the Rosebud drawing.
Beginning with Tuesday night at
midnight and until the same hour
Wednesday night there seemed to
be a continual stream of trains run
ming west, coming from the south
an beast over the Milwaukee road.
Between these two periods one of
the local officials stated that $500
people passed through Mitchell for
Chamberlain, and it took 73 coacnes
to haul them. The cars in most in
stances were packed and jammed,
even the passengers stood on the
platform.
Both of the regular trains from
the south and east Wednesday were
run in two and our sections, the
east train being four hours late,
with the special trains coming in at
various hours. The Milwaukee COM
pany is meeting the big rush in a
very satisfactory manner, and in fact
nobody is looking for the best ac-
commodations in a crowd of that
size, and they are willing to put up
with anything just so they ear get
out to Chamberlain.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving a simple prescription, which
is said to be a positive remedy for
backache or kidney or bladder de-

after each meal and again at bed

A well-known druggist here at
home, when asked regarding this
prescription, stated that the ingredi-
ents are all harmless, and can be OBJ
tanned at a small cost from any good
prescription pharmacy, or the mix
ture would be put up if asked to do
so. He further stated that While this
prescription is often prescribed in
rheumatic Affections with splendid

it would not be a splendid remedy

is a hopeful sign of the revival of

was in 1884, when "Plumed
