To the Editor: The Watts bill

right to vxpect. As it waa Aral
introduced it waa enti dy unsat
isfactory. Several amendment*
were proposed, bnt only mi of
them—the privilege of voting for
dispensaries—*» passed. It w»*
urged that the number of inhabi
tants uerensnry to secure the in
oorporatioa of a town, shonhl be
designated. Tbit wae not done,
but we were assund that there
was no danger at that point, ae it
would be safeguarded by the Log.
isluturw which alone had- the pow
er of incorporating towns.
The temperance people were
willing t<> accept the Watts bill
in good fuith. While it was not
all they wanted, it seemed to lie
the hest they could get, aud they
determined to make.the bast of it.
But let ns see stinte later his
tory: A distiller comes before
the Legislature oivtfi taka that bia
distillery be iiK4$rporat*d, aud
the hill [tasscs. That simply lets
tbs gap down fur tho incorpora
tion of every distillery in the
Slate.
What have we left of the Watts
bill? Nothing, absolutely noth
ing that we did not have before.
Tbe right to vote ou a dispensary,
as provided by tho Watts bill,
simply saves a little trouble,
under tbe old law, any communi
ty which will go to the trouble
can secure an eleetiou.
The Legislature, after all tbe
noise and bluster which it mads.
after1 all the time spent in dis
cnsiiou, winds up by nullifying
the pitiable temperauce legisla
tion which it gave/ Like the not
ed king of Kranue, it “marched
up the hill aud down again," and
we ars left just whs— ws were at

people in this State are s set of
simpleton*, who oan be duped in
tbe broad daytime? lliat they will

of real value? If that i* opinion,
they will find out before the world
grows much older how woefully
they have boon mistaken. The

Bill Arji, the Georgia sage, is
going to die game. We wore a
frsid llu»t lie would weaken ns th»
end approaches. His latest on
Ted and the puritans is one of hiu
best. Billy dou’t weaken. To
hates Yankee is go d religion
down south. I don't mean a good
Yank, (there is mighty few of
them,) but these Mayflower fol
lows; the fellows that lie on us;
the fellows t hat steal from tu;
tho ones that roll us of our good'
name; the ones that slander uur
! dtuid. These fellows are tbs ones
that no Southern man or woman
should counternance. Go it, Hill,
Bs Ornt and I'll forgive you that
yarn you told nlmut getting up at
midnight and adtniuiatarihg Bato
man deops to one of your col icy
grand-ohildren. You have made
one-half the women love you for
your t#iider care of the kids, but
1 don't Ijclicve yoti in that partic
ular, Hill. But I’ll forgive you
if you will go on cussing these
miserable, money-loving slander
ona Yanks sud their pig-headed
president. I say, gn on Hill, and
i’ll try and imitate you in. the
pdrsgoric proceeding.
