Nature as a Prohibitionist.

For eight months in a year whisky drinking^is too ruinous to be indulged in by the Southerner. It is not possible for a man to drink as much whisky at the South as at the North. If he attempts itj» will go under. In point of fact, there was never as much drunkenness ig this section as in the Northern States. Even in the days when the use of liquor was general intemperance was the exception. Down this way all the forces of nature are arrayed on the side of temperance. — Atlanta Constitution.
