REMARKS ::

The TIMES may be considered hard, and
money scarce, but few dollars invested
for the "Seven Springs" "Iron and Alum
Mass are worth $40 to every one thus
spent to any person who is not perfectly
well and hearty. There are persons that
would give $40 a bottle rather than be
without it. A gentleman in Mississippi
says he would give 800 for a single bottle
if he could not obtain it for less. The re-
tail price is only $l.00 per bOttle-sent
post-pOid to any post Office. This Mass is
for sale by BUNTING s. PEPPER, and J. A.
DICKEY Co., Bristol, Tenn, and by near
ly all regular Druggist, but if the Druggist
nearest you does not keep it, send to Lam
drum g. Litchfeld, Abingdon, Va, and YOU
will certainly get it for the price.

dieting that the first two lengths would fall
from not being properly constructed On tho granite
face of the arch, he said, the stones starting for
ward from their beds and were being forced in north
ward direction. Inside the arch large crack was open
ing in the crown, and extending through the ust
two lengths The report also stated that between the
OF the arch and the Oycrhangng rocks space OF
feet filled in with earth instead OF masonry rms

SALOONS And HOTELS.

AN UNANSWERED LETTER FROM THE SOCIETY FOR
The PREVENTION OF CRIME To THE EXCISE
BOARD.
Charles E. Glldersleeve, secretary Of the
Society for the Prevention of Crime, September 13
forwarded to Richard ]. Morrison, President OF the
Board OF Excise, communication relating 10 the ex-
cessive licensing OF sO-caled "hOtes -; but no reply
received Bydirecon of the Executive Committee,
therefore Mr. Gldcreeve has furnished the letter for
publication, an abstract Of which is as follows:
The large number OF hotel signs over liquor-shops
indicates either that thejsgn used without authority
that the number OF licenses issued for such places Is
by far too great and their existence must be due either
10 disregard Of the law, or 20 want Of Judgment In
the Issuing OF licenses failure to suppress these
"hotes" II they are illegal. The conditions under which
the Excise Commissioners may legally issue license to
moral character and OF sufficient ability TO keep
an inn; that an inn or hotel shall De required by
twenty reeRoiders living in the district shall
be presented asking for such hotel and that In the
opinion Of the commission such hotel shall be neces
sary proper 1t estimated that at present there
$500 licenses outstanding for ale and beer Saloons
$500 Tho unlicensed "hOtes" would probably greatly
swell this number The inference Is that the discretion
OF the commissioners IN licensing hotels Is exercised too
sparngY or that the law Is openly cyaded or that the
commissioners deceived by the applicants for cens-
granted.
The authority flor these assertions "a the apparently
truthful statements that the inspectors receive money
for handing in favorable reports; that apartments
and sometimes beds, hired temporarily to fulfil the
letter OF the law that copies OF the Tegat required
by law TO be posted in the rooms Of hotels found
the outside OF doors and that Oftentmes hotel" has
no hotel accommodations whatever The attention OF
tho commissioners IS called to tie fact that licensed ale
and beer saloons often sell spiIuOus liquors openly,
and that this il q manifest injustice to those who ply
higher price for license 10 sell liquors other than
ale aud beer. In block ia this city it Is
ayerrcd there arc seven sO-called "hOtels" aud
thirteen ale and beer saloons, and upon sixteen
blocks contiguous there fOrty-eight hotels and
seventyhrcc ale and beer saloons. II Is mOnstrOus
peryersion TO pretend that this number-l2l-ls ne
ccssary supply the combined wants Of travellers and
the twenty petuonng residents OF the district. A
thorough inycstig5 zion Is advised
The society offers its aid 70 establish these points, IT,
when they established such licenses have been
obtained fraudCntly shall be revoked The letter is
