Sal I Safe 4 (m 0 fl) llllaslairtss.. An JONBS LKTTEK. Atlanta Journal I left home ths 19th. Spent yester day in Oklahoma City and lectured at their Chautauqua last night, and am to peak here tonight and tomorrow night under the auspice of the "Civic Fed eration." I had a plesant trip through the trriitorie, but was surprised to see the crops so backward and so grassy. There will be no bumper crop in the southwest this year, either of corn, wheat or cotton. Too mooh rain in May and too dry in iS June, but it has been raining out hen twenty-four to thirty lis hours, and still it rains. I notioe there is a general more along the line of enforcement of law, and the running down of boedlers snd grafters, and I notioe the gang kick and squeals and buck when you pre them to the point where they mutt obey the law. I in common with all good citizens am watching the outcome of Governor Folk's effort in the enforcement of law. He it surely up against it. The St. Loui Republic yesterday published that "The grand jury splits on the Bun day doting," no true bill return on violation of dram shop law. vThe fore man of the grand Jury makes a riSioor report to the courtLi follow- "With no question ss to ths character snd sufficiency of ths evidsnos in these esses, and in justioe to a large num ber of our citizens, of like occupation as the accused who, by common repute have, at financial loss, obeyed in letter and spirit ths law, whose non-enforos-ment for many years had led them lo regard a obselets. I am willing to rest under ths possible suspicion of what to me would be a flagrant violation of my official oath, and I think it my duty as foreman to file with my further be lief that it would be useless to submit to us any other cases of thi character, and that to my mind is sufficient cause for our immediate discharge snd for the empaneling of a special grand Jury to oonsider new cases ef this class that may arise ss well ss those that thi grand Jury baa passed upon. This statement, I sm authorised to say, voice the sen timent of other member of thi grand jury, as well as my own." Of the twenty-two oases of alleged closing violation taksn before the grand ury, all were ignored; not a single true bill being returned. You see most of these name sound uat like s fresh importation through Castle Garden. Then I notioe tnat ten thousand citizens of 8t, Joe, Ho. hare signed s petition to Governor Folk to let up on the Sunday closing. Bo the governor is up against a grand Jury on one tide snd ten thousand citissn on the other. St. Louis .county grand jury bucking, and ten thousand citi of St. John howling. Hence we say Governor Folk is up against it. Now, I think I know what Governor Folk will do. I know what I would. I'd doss those saloons every 8unday until the Sunday closing law of Mis souri wss repealed. If grand Jury snd courts failed I would declare the state under "marshal law." I would tus- pend the writ of habeas corpus and de clare the state in insurrection. I would enforce law at all coats, or resign. He can't afford to do anything lea. He it pledged to the sbsolute enforcement of law, and has taken a solemn oath it shall be enforced. AU this leads ms to say say : Fust that ths saloon not, only make drunkards and criminals and paupers of its pa trons, but it makes criminals of its owner. Both side of ths saloon coun ter is breeding criminal and outlaw, In St. Jos ths saloons have violated law until now ten thousand lawless dtixens petition the governor to let lawlessness prevail unmolested. The saloon trains men to be lawless, trains the dtiten to be bad, and how far is it from ths con dition of thing in St. Joe and St. Louis to anarchyr Of course, there are one hundred thousand dtixens of St. Joe, who have not or would not sign the pe nnon. Thenars others" in St. Louis who have sot been on ths grand Jury during this term of the court. Thou sands and hundreds of thousands of others who have not been heard from yet I suppose then is no mors Jl s howl among ths liquor gang-in those a ties, than then was among the boodle gang, when Folk waa after Ed. Butler sod hi crowd a few months sgo. - Ths saloon is ths most lawless thing this side of the gaping Kate of hell. It makes mors lawless ritisene than any other influence in ths world, and I am not abating the saloon keeper. He U ss good ss his saloon and his saloon is s rood ss the law that authorise it ex Once snd ths law law is as gooo9ae ths legislature ha4 etiacted it, and the legislators is aa good a the voter that pot tbssa into office, and so ws ses ths whele mattes rests with ths people. The people mast corns to ths boat. demagogues in office, or rings and cliques in pilitics. Ws must sllminsts vies and iraoranos from ths ballot bos, and ws must heed Gods voice when He says: "When ths wicked ruls ths pso- pls mourn." Of courts Georgia courts sad grand Juries have not gravitated lo what Mis souri court an, but w have a lewis element all over Georgia and the sooth, who regard not God and can for no law, and if ws 1st things run loots a while longer, our grand juris will buck and our dtiatna will petition ths gov ernor to let them violate law. Than nsver ws a time whan press snd pulpit should ipeak out like ths osossion now demand. Poor old Russia is ths ex ample of drunken lawlessness and shi seem hopelessly doomed, no patriotism no courage, no manhood. She has a rotten dynasty and fattens on falsa pride and corruption. Not so of ths Japs; they are obedient to lsw, they an ths most sober and pa triotic nation on earth, and can whip anything that comes down the pike. America it drinking too much, and oar ing too little for law and order. W have a president; we have threw or four gnat governors and we seed 44 mors bad. Let Georgia hear this and act upon it. Then wss never a day in tha history of our grand old state when our pewpls wen so alert and whan they were so de termined snd something is going to drop, and then, and then so mots it be.

The Newt Herald published at Mor eanton. in its last issuo prints tha following strange story: Nothing in Burks necrology 1 caused quite as much comment as the passing away of Mr. Alexander Perry, of Smoky Creek township. Mr. Ferry wss about 66 years of age and in ap parent good health. Ona day last week he insisted that he would die ia a day or two and had his wifs to lend for Mi J. H. Huffman, with whom ho wnatad to consult as to soma business matters. In common with everybody ia Barks, hs hsd implicit faith in Mr, Huffman's integrity and fine sense, hence the de sired interview. When Haffaaan reached Perry be found him in good hesltb, but Insisting ha would dis in 24 hours. Huffman tried to beguile him into the idea that hs wss all right and was not sick, and attempted to feel bis pulse, but Perry dnw back his hand snd said: "My puis are as good a yours. I did not say 1 was tics, dm so say I will dis in 24 hours." Huffssaa talked soms business msttars with him and was impressed with ths idea that his mind was s lit Us off on tha death idea but dear in other respects. Th business attended to, a short convex sation followed and Haffmsa left Early next morning Parry put so hit best dothes and said: "I do hot want to be pulled aboat after I M sad." Shortly after he wss dressed hs seat a second time for Huffman, want into hie room, laid dowa en a bed and died before Huffman reached him. His wifs and sister wan with him and while they believed his mind was unhinged, they wan greatly shocked to find him dead. He was s quiet, indus trious rati sen of exemplary Ufa sad habits. A ansa TrateeTy is dairy enacted, in thousands of homes. as Death claims, in each one, another victim of Consumption or Pneumonia. But when Ooughs and Colds art prop erly treated, the tragedy is averted, t. Q. Huntley, of OaUantktts, lad., mites : My wife had 'the noiaasimptlon, and three doctors gave her np.

Oaa of tha richest Jokes that has been traveling around tha dty this moraing is ona on Dr. Josh Tsyloe, one of Washington' prominent medical people. It is too good to keep, and, by tha tray, it is aa sbsolute fact also. Dr. Josh a few wesks sgo made a flying trip, and all went well with the doctor until Just beff e reaching; Day tea, O., when hs wss spproaehed by a bucolic stranger in ths smoking cat. Ths stranger had a roll of bills in hie hands aad asked ths genial doctor if he thought it safe to mail so much in s Utter on the car. Ths doctor said hs thought it would bs unwise, ss the bill were of email dsaomiaation. Tha atraagvr, growing confidential, aid that his grandmother in the nex oar had givsa him $50 to tend to bi mother. Hs then asked Dr. Jawiii if ha had any larger notes Ths, doctor nplisd that hs had and dived down in his pants pockets and pulled out bis rail and stripped two twenties ami a tea off, which hs gsvs the stranger Tha doctor then proceeded to count the moaey hs had exchanged and in formed his quondam acquaintance that the ohangs only amounted lo $17, being $8 shy, and handed it back to tha stranger to count Sura onough, then wss only $47. Ths oonfidsncs man asked tha doctor to sxouss him for a moment as he would go ia the next oar and inform hi grandmother that shs hsd only give him $47 instead of $60. Befon going, however, he placed the notes in aa eavalope and handed it over to Josh. The doctor, thinking be would be ksa tnomsnt did not oountths ever again. Just as ths train wasslowiag up for Dayton, the doo- sospidous and opened the snvdops. Much to his chagrin and foaad that instead of $47 ia notes ho had only soms tissue paper. Ths stranger is still looking for his mother, while Dr. Josh hat only soma paper for his greenback. Dr. Taylos' faith in human nature hat been considerably ahaken, and he that ha is not in ths market any for gold bricks.
