'P0SSUMS A-PLENTY
IN SOUTH GEORGIA

Especial Dispatch to The Journal)
TOWNSVILLE. Ga, Oct. 11.-'Pos-
sums are said to be unusually plentiful
in south Georgia this fall, and they are
also unusually sociable, a number being
found visiting the homes of various cit
liens. 1t is thought that these Tuassu-
pals have been hearing stories sent out
from here of the fine chickens raised by
Thomasville's many amateur chicken
fanciers, as they have visited a number
Of chicken coops and destroyed some
fine poultry. They have been caught up
with several times, however, and there
have been some -possum suppers served
without the usual long hunt in the
woods for the 'possum.
That the very high water all through
this section has prevented him from
getting TO the swamps to seek his prey
is the supposition advanced by some as
the reason for the many evening visits
the 'possum has been paying to the hen
roosts in town. Whatever the reason
when citizen hears a squawk from the
denizens of his chicken yard at might
he grabs his gun and sallies forth with
the expectation of finding a four-footed
marauder instead Of.the sable tWo-foot-
ed one who for. so long has held the rec
ord for achievements along that line.

example, never nave more than one
candidate in' the field, while temper
ance people often divide their
strength on account of minor differ
ences Of opinion over matters. of
mere policy and expediency. A good
man who elevates all his personal
prejudices into conscientious princi-
pies and refuses TO oppose the
vicious. unless he can have his own
way about how to do it, is the kind
of man that the immoral like to have
in the community; such a man can
always be depended upon to take a
course that will serve we'll the aims
of the solidified forces of immortality
in the community
Again, there is another cohesive
force which tends to bring the bad
elements together and keep them to-
gether;' it is the cohesive power of
mutual corruption. A bad man draws
to him all the men of his sort, for
they feel that in raising him to hon
durable position. they give a certain
credit to their 3 class. An apostate
from virtue and decency draws all
the other apostates, of the city to
him by the strong sympathy of com
mon vice. They praise him in order
to find comfort for themselves in
their sense of self-convicting I'M
worthiness. : Perhaps. they have met
him in places of vice and dare not
oppose him or refuse to support him
for fear of exposure by him; or may
be they have been willing fellows
with him in shameless revels, and
are constrained by a sense of con-
sistency to refrain from condemning
one no more guilty than themselves.
Or, perhaps they have used him for
their own political ends. and feel
when he calls for their support that
they must respond to the debt of
obligation which they owe him.
Whatever may be the underlying
cause of the fact, it is a fact that
when a bad man offers for office. in
stantly all the bad elements in the
community flock to him in solid
phalanx. Good people may be foolish
enough to divide, but the vicious
present a. solid front in politics,
especially in municipal politics where
there are plums to be distributed,
contracts to be awarded, and fran
chises to be granted. Bad men and
bad corporations back the vicious in
municipal elections that they may
win the spoils for which they yearn.
