Special to the ;lobe-Dcmocrat, Atlanta, (Ja:, July 10. The proliil.i tiou cl :tiou in Koine, jcMtcrduy, which resulted in an overwhelming ictory for tho dry ticket, has settled the question tli'it tli. rem lining fourteen counties in which whisky is sold must go dry unci. that before six mouths Georgia will he ftn ubsohilely dry as .Maine. Home i h a city of 12,000 inhabitants, situated in Foyd, tho mot populous white county in the Stiite. For more than forty days the contest has raged, growing fiercer us the day of election approac hed. Two years ago last fehruary, an elec tion was held, resulting in a victory for l' the " wc-t" ticket by ssveral hundred ma jority. It wus felt, however, at that time and every since that the result wns not a fair expression of the people's will. The election had been called by the liquor men in midwinter. There wn no regis tration law. It was thought that many illegfd votes were cast, and a great bar becue given by the saloon people on elec tion day attrac ted hundreds of negroes to Home. Hence, when thellev. Sam Jones' revival occurred about two months ago it was but natural that the question should again become prominent. It was felt that this question should be fairly submitted to the people on its merits, es pecially as in the meantime the great con tent had been fought and,won in Atlanta, and the danger of fraud was greatly les sened by the registration law now in force. So just be fore the close of the re vival a conference of ministers from all parts of the country was held, and it was resolved to preach, pray and work for prohibition. Petitions were drawn up requesting the Ordinary to call an elec tion at an early day. These petitions were signed by more than 1000 voters. TIIR 81'KCIAI. KI.KCTION CALLED. The Ordinary called an election for July It, and the contest opened in earnest. Au executive Committee was organized with D. 15. Hamilton as Chairman and ('apt. A. . Moseley as Secretary. Short ly thereafter a Young Men's Prohibition Club was organized, with lion. Seaborn "Wright as Secretary. Clubs were also organized in all parts of the country. Prohibition aud anti-prohibition meetings were held almost daily. The columns of tha Bulletin, for prohibition, and the Courier, against prohibition, were filled with arguments pro and con, as well a V with personalities which at times were rather bitter. Among those who took a fading part lu favor of prohibition were: Hon. D. B. Hamilton, Hon. Seaborn "Wright. Hev. Charles E. Wright, Oapt. A. F. S. Morse-ley, J. B. Patton, II. 13. Parks, Dr. D. 15. TTeadeu, Dr. T. R. Ken dall, dpt. Euclid Johnson, Ci. A. IJ. Har ris, II. II. Smith, Jas. T. Vandiver, Hev. C. ('. Gary, Rev. "Win. Eridges, Junius Oeorg? find the Bulletin. Of course there were scores of others in both city and count-, including the best clement among the colored people. Among the colored preachers who took prominent parts were lie v. C. McCurdy, Rev. Lyon, Rev. llainmctt. Rev. Shcpard, Rev. C. N. Grandson, Rev. "Watson, Rev. Randall, Hunt ami others. Col. W. H. Ilidell, of the Courier, and Mr. 7.1. A. Xevin took leading parts against prohibition. THE CLAIMS OF EACIT SIDE. The anti-Prohibitionists took the ground that they are opposed, to eupipt uary legislation; that the Bible does not sanction it ;that the abuse and not the use of stimulant U forbidden; that it will de crease the city's revenue from f 8,000 to 10.000 annually, without accpmpliship the slightest reform; that it will from twelve to twenty store-houses to re main vacant, and drive away a portion of Rtmifs's business men. On the other hand, the Prohibitionists argued that this is a great moral question, against which mercenary arguments should not pf eyail; that intemperance is the great evil of the age; that to save one soul from destruc tion is worth all the efforts of Prohibi tionists; that business will not suffer, but will inci-caje because poor men will not waste their wages in drink; that other Lusinc-fa will take the place of the whisky traiYic and keep up the city's revenue and occupy the vacant stores; that prohibition does prohibit and is as well enforced as other criminal statutes, and, finally, that the contest for prohibition ia a contest for go or 1 morals, the sanctity of home aud the happiness of famillies. AT 'i'JIE POLLS. The day opened bright end beautiful. At sunrise there were prayer.-meetiegs at the churches, which continued during the entire day. A lar;e number of busi ness houses were closed and the city had a. Sunday appearance, except that the streets were crowded with people. By 5 o'clock in the morning leading Prohibi tionists and anti-Prohibitionists had as sembled at the polls. Among the former were scores of Rome's fairest daughters and a large number of children. The ladies and children tork their stand in front of the Court House, a little to the left of the entrance, and here they re mained with tireless patience throughout tho entire day. It was a remarkable scene. Here were aged mothers whose hair was silvered with the frosts of years. young maids and matrons and lovely children, all deeply interested in the re suit of tho great contest. Many men who ascended the Court House steps holding anti-prohibition tickets in their hands wavered when they faced this living bul wark of lovely women and voted the prohibition tickets given them by fair hands. The presence of the ladies gain ed at a moderate- estimate ut least 100 votes for the prohibition cause. The siii'iug of the familiar hyms was a fea ture of the day's incidents. Occasionally large bodies of prohibition voters would march to the polls and these were greeted with cheers, waving of handkerchiefs ami happy smiles by the ladies. Sir. J B. Patton marched at the head of forty- throe voters, who were received with en thusiasm. A little in the rear of the Court House booths were erected, where refresh ments were served by the ladies. EMBLEMS AND I'AKADEH. Many Hags and banners were displayed. Among the inscriptions were these: "A vote against the sale and a vote to save our boys." "Vote the way you think, be lieve and pray." "No saloons means more clothing and happiness." "For God and home and native land, for truth and right we take our stand." The antis used red flagB without inscriptions. Nearly all the Prohibitionists wore blue badges, and the antis red. From the first the contest was not doubtful. By 10 o'clock 700 votes had been cast in Rome precincts, and two-thirds of these were for prohibi tion. Reports from country precincts showed handsome prohibition majorities and the saloon people seemed despond ent. Toward noon they rallied somewhat, and paraded the streets with bands and banners. The Prohibitionists also parad ed, and their procession was much larger than that of their opponents. From noon until the polls closed there were but few- incidents of note. About 5 o'clock the Forestville Prohibition Club marched to the polls in a solid phalanx and cheered. n the meantime the antis had retired from the contest in a great measure. When the clock struck 6, the scence at the Court House was indescribable. It was known that prohibition had carried, and it was only a question of majority. Probably a thousand men, women and children were assembled in and around the Court House, and cheer after cheer rent the air. Many were overcome with emotion and wept. Such a scene was never before witnessed in Rome. Suddenly there was a hush, and with Dr. Kendall and Mr. J. R. Gibbons as leaders, the vast multitude sang with thrilling effect "Nearer, My God, to Thee," followed by the doology. After bene diction the great crowd slowly dispersed. The returns were being received at the Court IIouhc all night. Hundreds of people, were present, but perfect order prevailed, and notwithstanding the great excitement during the day not a single disturbance occurred. "When the vote was counted out it was found that out of 2&00 registered voters, 23.30 had voted. Of these 1428 were fat prohibition and 908 against, a majority of 520 for the dry ticket. Table Etiquette in Zanzibar. From the July Overland. Talking of eating reminds me of the way this operation is performed by the Arabs. Five of them 6eat themselves round a large bowl of rice, surmounted by a skinny fowl, all being curried. Two seize the wings with their fingers and two the legs, and simultaneously tearing these off, leave the carcass to tho fifth, after ward taking out the rice by handsful, and dextrously conveying it to the mouth wit! a peculiar jerk. One mark ot hos pitality shown to gijCoia when .at table consists in the chief's rolling up some rice into a ball in the palm of his hands and aiming it at his guest's widely dis tended jaws. On one occasion this piece of civility was shown to myself; but not being an adept in the art of swallowing rice balls when so projected, the effect was anything but what my kind enter tainer anticipated; for, independently of being nearly choked, the grains were scat tered, or rather sputtered, oyer the table in a manner that elicited roars of laugh ter even form the very grave Arabs. This of course, was the last experiment of the kind tried upon me. Attention has been directed here to facts regarding the distribution of our foreign population, which eiplaiu the growing demand of the industrial class in this country for a restriction of immi gration. The pressure of competition from foreign sources is, as was pointed out, most severely felt in the manufact uring and mining sections of the country. The complaint of the home workman is about to take more definite form, as is shown by a recent letter of Mr. Powder ly, the head of the order cf the Knights of Labor, in reference to the restriction of immigration. He declares that the workingmen of the country want immi gration restricted lor the sake both of the country andf the immigrant. They want, he says, a fair fcharc of the protec tion which is now afforded to the em ployers of labor. Persons who are not self-sustaining, he says, should he exclud ed for the reason that they will either have to be sustained as paupers, or, by forcing residents of the country out of employment, are likely to make paupers or dependents of the latter. This demand for the restriction of immigration is not confined, Mr. Powdcrly says, to American-born workingmen, but is universal. This statement of the head of the Knights of Labor at this time is important. "With out doubt more will be heard of this de mand of the industrial classes in the near future. Bra 1st reefs. How to Treat Sunstroke. From Home, Ki.owIed;;e. A sudden prostration of the nervous system resulting from extreme heat is com monly called sunstrakc. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that exposure to the sun's rays is necessary to produco the prostration, for workmen exposed all day to the scorching sun do not have sunstroke as often as persons of sedentary habits who walk on the shady side of the street. The usual symptoms indicating an attack of sunstroke are a full, heavy feel ing in the head, dizziness, ringing in the cars, deranged vision, faintness and difli cult breathing; but sometimes the patient falls unconscious without the slightest warning. In severe cases death may en sue in a few hours. Those who recover from an attack do so slowly, and contin ue to be greately prostrated for sometime after, dizziness and faintcss coining on after the slightest mental effort, while the full, distressed feeling in the head continues for months afterward. Sunstroke is best avoided by imme diately ceasing all mental or physical effort as soon as the first symptoms of prostration arc felt, and above all by avoiding the drinking of ice-water w hen overheated. The head should be pro tected by a sunshade, and ca'-e should be taken to keep the digestive organs healthy by using light food. When an attack occurs the patient should be re moved to a cool place and placed in a recumbent position, cold water or ice- bags should be applied to the head, and mustard paste, capsicum or other stimu lants to the extremities and over the stomach. Hartshorn should be held to the nose, and as soon as the patient can swallow, an ounce of brandy, with ten drops of essence of ginger should be swallowed. "When improvement begins the patient should be kept as quiet as possible, and all exposure to the heat avoided for the balance of the summer. How Cordon Was Betrayed. The general court martial on Bimbashi Hassam-Effcndi Benhassawy, who com manded the 5th Regiment (Egj'ptians) at Khartoun, is now fixed, says a Cairo correspondent of the London Daily Ncirs. The Egyptian military authorities refuse to give any information on the subjec t in immitation, it wonld seem, of the Turkish authorities, who, always frantic ally endeavor to conceal political or mil itary news, and who always fail in their efforts to do so.' The whole affair of Bimbashi Benhassawy and his court-mar tial is an open secret, and is simply this: For some mouths dribblets of the 5th Regiment, escaped from Khartoum, have been arriving at Cairo from the Soudan, and they have at present reached the number of 150 privates, officers and non commissioned officers. It will be remem bered that this was the regiment that was supposed to be ou guard p,t the western (Mcssalia) and southwestern "gate" or entrance to Khartoum. Gradually evi dence has been collected which, it is al leged, will prove that Bimbashi Benhas sawy, in collusion witu rang l'asua, who held t lie position of General, corres ponded w ith the M-ahdi, and wi ote a letter to him to the effect that unieij he attack ed by Monday he would be too late, as the "English were close at hand." The letter, of course, can not be produced, but it will be sworn to that it was written. It will be proved, it is also alleged, that on the night that Khartoum was taken the 5th Regiment, who had charge of the southwest and south entrances, never fired a shot, and in return they escaped the massacre, although they were kept prisoners, andjare now gradually escaping. The whole affair came to notice thus: Mr. Palmer, Director General "de la Compta bilita d'Etat," directed, with the appro bation of the sirdar t Commander-in-chief of the Egyptian army). M. Valliant, Director General of the Finance Depart ment of the Soudan, to pay these escaped officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment their arrears of pay amounting to some considerable sum. But M. Valliant, who had his eye pretty well on the whole af fair, and who is without doubt one of the best men in the Government service, replied: ""What! I pay the murderers of General (lordon! Never' I distinct ly refuse to put my seal to any document of the sort." (For an order for payment had been brought to him to receive his stamp or seal.) "If you English -wish to pay the men yon must do it on your own responsibility. I will have none of it." This little difference led up to tho present Investigation and ended in the officer who commanded the 5th be ing placed under arrest. ITTMS OF ALL SORTS.

The more or less dubious story comes to us of the discovery of Ovid's tomb at Anadolkivi, near Kustcinlami, nann-i scarcely significant to most readers. TKi place, however, is on the Euxine, a few miles south of the Danube, near the island, of Tomi, to which Ovid was baxiished, A-D. 8, probably on account of an intrigue with ,Tuliu, daughter of the Emperor Augustus. Tho stone marking the tomb is said to represent Ovid's arrival at the island. All of which is important to classical scholars if true, but it is to be hoped that the stones may not turn out to be like the one disB covered by that distinguished antiquarian, Mr. Pickwick.

Ifow many know whence comes the name Chatauqua and where the first Clia tauquas had their habitation? Should tha question be asked, three-fourths of our assembly would answer from a place in New York named from a tribe o? Indians.' Yet it owes its origin to our Old North State-r-su trrtac in beginnings cf many things. Chatauqua was the Indian name of New Berne. To NewBcrne beloncs the honor of having given its name to our great teachers' meeting. There the first Cliatauquas copper colored, black haired savages, mimed and fished, much after the fashion of their modern namesakes.

Haleigh News Slaking a Congo Map. The strenuous efforts a noted geograph ical publishing hfiuse of Brussels has just been making to issue a largo map of the Congo Independent State afford an amus ing illustration of the rapid progress of discovery in that part of the world Nearly three months ago 1; w".a an nounced tnat the map would be published in two weeks. On the eve of printiug some new discoveries were announced and publication was deferred in order to put them on the map. Later news from tho Congo, such as Van Gele's exploration of the Mobangi nflments and John De Braz za's journey down the Licona, wore so iu: teresting that tho cartographers really could not think of issuing their map with out them, and so there were further de lays. The map was positively announced for last week, but by the time it reaches this country it will not be surprising if it is a trifle behind the times. New York Sun. Renunciation of the AVoJd.
