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

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-

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.
I go from Little Rock to Fort Smith,
thenos into Kansas, Iowa, Ohio, Illi

The Newt Herald published at Mor

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

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

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.
