citizens, whether the law forbidding
to carry concealed weapons or theft
or other similar laws shall be opera
tive within their borders? These are
constantly being violated, and per-
haps as Systematically and persist
emily as is the prohibition law.
Passing from local option let us
think for a moment about the sug-
gestion that the prohibition law be
submitted to a vote of the people of
the state. The wisdom of such a
suggestion is not obvious to the pro-
hibitiOnist. Why submit this only?
If referendum is good for one law
why isn't it good for all? Besides,
the people of Georgia have already
expressed their choice at the polls.
Their verdict has been repeatedly in
favor of prohibition. Under local
option an overwhelming majority of
the citizens had expressed their wish
that the state be liberated from the
curse of the whiskey traffic, and they
proved what they wanted by making
just as much of it dry" as they
could control. Having no jurisdic-
ton in the wet" counties the voters
of the dry" sought and found their
remedy in the election of a general
assembly that could and would enact
a statewide prohibition law. The
prohibitionists are not, as a whole,
seeking to have the question of pro
hibition versus local option" submit
ted to popular vote.
The liquor dealers and their allies
want local option. If they fail to
get it through the legislature then
they are willing to try for it by
dragging the white banner of prohi-
bitiOn into the turmoil of strife of
a general election.
The real prohibitionists-o
whom there are many in Georgia
want the present law strengthened,
perfected and enforced; they also
want the adjustment of the near
beer business, and for that they pur-
pose to stand until prohibition is
not only statewide, but nationwide
and worldwide. Come thou with us
and we will do thee good, for the
Lord hath spoken good concerning
Israel" j. H. ALLEN.

rOrCHEn GOVERNORS HEART.

Governor Slaton's action allow
ing Thos. f. Stripping to go from the
Georgia penitentiary to the bedside
Of his dying child in Columbus and
then, after several days of watching
the little ones life ebb away, attend
the funeral in Harris county Mon
day does credit to him as man
and chief executive of the great stale
OF Georgia. While Stripping is pay
ing the just penalty for taking the
life Of a fellow-man he is neverthe-
less the object of much interest and
sympathy. When he went back 20
Chipley Monday to bury his boy
it was his first visit there since
fourteen years ago, when he left
with life sentence hanging over
his head, and later under an assum-
ed name became chief of police of
one of the principal cities of Vir-

JOE BROWN AND HIS CAMPAIGN.

From the Athens Banner.
Jos. M. Browns campaign is now
in full swing, and from all over the
state comes the news that the people
are rallying to his standard by the
thousands, and that he will be elect
ed governor of Georgia on December
18th is beyond doubt.
The people of Georgia in this race
are not factionally divided. The old
lines of division between Smith and
Brown forces are being wiped out
Governor Smith has been elected to
the senate, and has achieved the am
bitiOn of his life. His followers have
stood behind him all the while and
feel now that they can lay aside
whatever factional feeling they had
The followers of Joe Brown are Civ
ing him their solid and enthusiastic
support, but it has no element of anti
Smith in it. Hoke Smith men all over
the state who have voted for him
and supported him in all his races
are declaring their support for Joe
Brown in this race.
fractional fighting being thus in a
large measure eliminated the people
are all the more calmly Weighing the
claims of the different candidates,
and the result of all this is telling in
Joe Browns favor.
The people do not look with favor
upon the man who rides hobby
horses in order to get votes. They
are not at all deceived by the efforts
of candidates to lug into the cam
paign eXtraneous issues. The man
of broad mind, conservative judg-
ment and firm determination is the
man who will get their votes in the
campaign.
Joe Brown represents what they
are looking for-the man who can
best manage the affairs of Georgia
just at this time.

DEFEATED BY NARROW MARGIN

The vote by which Canada at the
recent election rejected the reciproc-
ity agreement with the United States
has been considered as very decided
one, but when it is canvassed it is
discovered that despite its tremen-
dous effect it was very close. The
total vote for the Conservative mem
bers of parliament was 636,654 and
that for the Liberals was 610,797.
In other words, the popular majority
against reciprocity was only 25,857
out of a total of 1,247,451, or a ratio
of about 25 to "a.
After all, opinion in Canada as to
the merits of the proposition was
pretty evenly divided, and there is
little doubt that reciprocity would
have been ratified by that country
also had not "Chump" Clark while
making a speech in the congress of
the United States for the treaty de-
clared that he favored the annexation
of the Dominion.

sPoRTsMEN AND THE BIRDS.

The so-called "sportsmen" of the
state seem to think that the game
of the state belongs to them. They
are indignant when they see
farmer killing his own birds, and
the thought of a hotel or restau-
rant sending out pot hounter''
to get game for the table throws
them into fits. And yet the farmer
has more right to the birds than
any one, and the man or the wo-
man who patronizes the markets
and restaurants ought to have a
share in the division of the game.
-MOultrie Observer.
The trouble with the town sports
men is that they have looked upo1
every game law as having been en-
acted for their especial benefit, ant
have observed or violated it, when
ever it suited them. 1t has seemed t.
be their opinion that no one else nee,
be interested in the destruction O
protection of the birds.

Voted for the Boilers.

From the Hawkinsville Dispatch.
At this time Governor Harmon of
Ohio seems to be the logical man for
the democrats to nominate for pres
ident. Governor Wilson talks too
much, and there is a still worse
charge against him, and that is that
he voted for Palmer and Buckner
in 1896 and thereby helped to defeat
the regular democratic nominees.
