Prohibition Mass Meeting,
Pursuant to the announcement
made Wednesday night at the pro-
hibition meeting, those favoring
prohibition met at the court house
Thursday morning and organized
a prohibition club. R. E. Mc-
Anulty, chairman of the county
prohibition executive committee,
presided and Edgar Moore was
appointed as secretary. On mo-
tion it was decided to form a prohi-
bition club, and Dr. W. C. Moody
was elected president and Judge
J. L. Fisher vice-president. Sam'l
Spears was elected secretary and
O. D. Cheatham assistant secre-
tary.
On motion the 27th day of July
was appointed for a grand prohi-
bition rally, when speeches will
be made and a barbecued dinner
prepared.
S On motion Elijah Esu»» colored,
was appointed and empowered to
organize a colored prohibition
ciub throughout the county and
report his action to R. E. Mc-
Anulty.
On motion L. W. Campbell and
Judge J. R. Fleming were rc-
Herndon and Mills.
Herndon utterly demolished
Col. Mills at Tyler on the 7th, and
it was possibly this severe and
keen castigation which made Mills
feel indisposed to divide time with
Culberson at Greenville a few
days later.
Herndon propounded 3ome in-
terrogatories to Mills, of which
the following is a sample:
2. Does the proposed amend-
ment deny the right to any man in
Texas to raise grapes, make wine
therefrom, and use that wine and
give it away? Will Col. Mills, as
a lawyer and a statesman, give
such a construction to the amend-
ment, that it will deny and pro-
hibit the people from growing
grapes, making wine, using wine
and giving away wine?
' 3. Is the liquor traffic, as car-
ried on in saloons in this state,
and against which the amendment
is leveled, a good thing? As an
institution is ii good? Is it such
a business as ought to be'made
permanent, fostered and ex-
panded?
4. Is the liquor traffic in this
state a proper subject of taxation
to raise revenue to operate the
government? Ought the state to
lend its power and influence in
building up and protecting a busi-
ness by the strong arm of the law
which is condemned by the moral
sentiment of thegrpat body of the
people as well as by enlightened
public opinion, for the exclusive
purpose of gathering revenue from
it to support the government?
5. If the amendment is adopted
you say it will not prohibit. If it
will not, who will combine to de-
feat the operation of the law?
Will not the country be justified
in holding the peoplefavoring the
iquor traffic responsible for its
failure of execution?
It is entirely needless to say
that Col. Mills, in his rejoinder,
made no effort to answer these
questions. He could not do it
except in the negative, which, of
couse, would have ruined his cause
and showed the fallacy and sophis-
try of the anti arguments. The
Tyler Democrat-Reporter says
that Col. Herndon, in his reply to
Mills' shrewd evasion, turned to
him, time and again, and with "all
the power of words that chal-
lenge," defied him to answer, but
there was none. In reply to Col.
Mills' statement that prohibition
was an exotic plant in Texas,
starting in Maine, finding its way
here through Kansas, and was not
a welcome visitor in Texas, Col.
Herndon said that prohibition was
born on southern soil, and if not
a native of Texas, found its way
jere long before Kansas was a
state, and in proof of this last po-
sition read a strong prohibition
platform dated at Corsicana in
1855 and signed by Roger Q.
Mills. This was a shot "amid
ships," says the Democrat-Ke-
x>rter, "and no pen can describe
the scene which folh w^d the
reading of the pliitform" as Col.
Mills' name was read among the
signatures. Feet, hands, mouths,
chairs, canes and everything that
could make a noise was brought
into requisition, and Col. Mills
vainly endeavored to extricate
nmself by a personal attack on
Col. Ilerndon's record. But Mills
was downed, and it is no wonder
le refused to divide time with
another prohibitionist. — Dallas
Herald.
"Neutral," You Say.
A man who is not in fact, but is
in his own consciousness, a leader
among inen^ was lately heard to
say that he intended to be "neu-
tral" when the whisky light broke
out in Tennessee. There is some-
thing monumentally strange about
this declared neutrality, when, as
is well known, this man saw one
son reel and fall into a drunkard's
grave, and another is fast tending
to the same sad end.
How he can reason himself into
a fightless position with whisky in
the face of such stern facts in the
life of his family, beyond the di-
vining power of human penetra-
tion. And if all men in the state
were of his whisky school of phi-
losophy, Tennessee would soon be
honeycombed with doggeries and
become a veritable paradise for
rum. But the average Tennessean,-
however, has too much self-defen-
siveness, too much prohibition
combativeness to kiss the hand of
those who for filthy lucre not in
the ruin of a manly young man-
hood. This "leader" is a mis-
leader. Could his dead son leave,
his drunken grave, how his tor-
tured spirit would cry out in con-
demnation of such cowardly neu-
trality !—The Issue.

A Case For Judje Cook.
Judge Gustave Cook is noted
for the extent of criminal practice
before his court. It is said that
he tries more criminals than .any
other judge in the state of Texas.
When Judge Cook delivered his
anti-prohibition speech in Fort
Worth, he enunciated the doc-
trine that murder was not com-
mitted when one man was killed
by another who was "crazed by
liquor." Judge Cook was reply-
ing; to the assertions of prohibi-
tionists, that the liquor traffic wa«
iromotive of crime, and the clis-
inguished jurist quoted from
ilackstonp and Roberts to prove
that murder could uot be commit-
ted by a drunken man.
Yesterday a Fort Worth saloon
keeper, "crazed by liquor," shot
a man to death without provoca-
tion, or aught of cause that could
be tortured into provocation.
Now, if Judge Gustave Cook
were on the bjench when this man
'as brought to trial how would
e the jury?

On last Saturday there was a
Sabbath school picnic at Ilulltown,
given by the Hulltown and Battle
Creek Sabbath schools. The Bat-
tle Creek Sabbath school met the
Ilulltown school at the Baptist
church and all marched down to
the grounds. Messrs. S. L. Bar-
ker and W. F. Trammel went
first, followed by L. P. Jones
and Geofge Smith bearing the U.
S. flag. Next came Misses Mollie
Merritt and Alice Barker, bearing
the Sabbath school banner, which
had on one side the appropriate
verse, "Little children, lore one
another," and on the other the
the cross of Christ, and then fol-
lowed both schools in regular or-
der. On reaching the grounds
there was singing by the schools
and then prayer by Bro. Teague.
Recitation by Misses Flora Cowan,
Louise Ground and Lulu Beasly,
and an essay and recitation by
Misses Eva Kirkpatriek* Julia
Cheek and Alice Beasly. Then
the presents were awarded to
those that memorized the most
Scriptural verses, Misses Mary
Marshall and Lulu Beasly being*,
the fortunate ones. The school
was then „ dismissed and dinned
was served up, and a wholesome
repast it certainly was. After
dinner there was lemonade and
soda water to be had. The school
was dtandsfw? with a song- arid all
went their way rejoicing.
The prohibition club met at
Ilulltown Saturday night. S. L.
Barker delivered a short lecture
on prohibition. An essay was
read by Mrs. L. E. Ormand, which
was very appropriate. Ilulltown
will go nearly solid for prohibi-
tion.
