American Canned Goods i'm England.

The London correspondence OF the
New York World makes some state
ments in recent letter to that paper
which furnish food for reflection to
the canned-goods packers and dealers
of this country. His words, which We
give below, need no comment. He says
you are doubtless well aware of the ex-
tent to which the traffic in canned fruits
and provisions has grown between the
United States and this country. Every
little country shop is now half full of
canned peaches and apples, pork and
beans, succotash, green corn, and
oysters, and all the other varieties of
food which American enterprise has
been the means of forwarding to this
country | know of no trade which
gave better promise of continuing to
grow and flourish, for goods sent met
with ready sale and were continually
grhwing in favor with the public. In
fortunately, syme INSCRIPTIONS dealers
are threatening to ruin this branch of
commerce. Consi nment after con-
signment of canned goods to be rotten
or otherwise worthless; in several parts
of England people have been poisoned
by eating canned oysters or meats.
Let the idea once spread that it is
dangerous to eat canned American
provisions and it will soon be all over
with the trade. The other day | was
talking to the chief London retail dealer
in these articles, and this is what he
said: at first, everything sent from
America was good. The public liked
the things, and we really could not get
enough ofthem to supply the demand,
But no sooner was the mark ct establish
ed than tricks began to be played, and
now / am afraid to send out any new
importatons until | have examined
dozens of tins at random. People are
afraid to buy. 1t is always the way
the first lots are splendid, then ship
loads of trash are sent over, and tho
business is spoiled for everybody.

After the Bar-Keepers Judge
Simmons Opinions.

The recent grand jury produced
excitement among Macon barkeep-
ers, and an array of indictments was
found against a number Of barkeep-
ers for selling whisky on Sunday
and allowing minors to drink. The
indicted parties were arraigned be-
for Judge Simmons in the Superior
Court room and heavily fined, after
noble and severe lecture of rebuke.
Judge Simmonsstated in effect that
he had been written to by mothers
who implored him to stand between
their young sons and ruin. That
they were being allured fron home,
parents and fresides by the bril-
liantly-lighted saloon and frescoed
billiard-hall, and only blighted
lives and disappointed hopes await
cd them. Judge Simmons said to
the first party arrigned before him,
that it was a matter Of grave and
serious doubt in his mind whether
to send him to Jail or impose a fine.
At this the concocter of drinks pal
ed and became frightened. "Why,
said Judge Simmons, II have this
morning, just now, sentenced a man
to the penitentiary for life for the
murder Of a fellow human being,
and are you any less guilty than
he? Daily you pave the road Of a
young mans life to ruin, death
and damnation. Through your
instrumentality the walls of moth
ers and the sobs Of sisters are heard
in desolate hours. Bright futures
are Swallowed by the darkness of
your sin. The morals of the youth
Of our city are being corrupted and
their responsibility tainted"
Judge Simmons imposed fines to
the amount Of some twelve hundred
dollars. Several parties were fined
$3.50, some S125 and $50 One par
ty was fined 1925. Judge Simmons
is determined, as far as lies in his
power, to check the selling Of liquor
to minors and abolish liquor drink
ing on Sunday, Telegraph

The License System.


the Matter.
The following address Of a Judge
who sentenced three sa,oon-keepcrs
in Chicago, after they were found
guilty Of selling liquors to minors,
was reported il the Chicago 1r1-
bunc.
"By the law, you may sell to men
and women, if they SIN buy. You
have given your bond and paid for
license to sell to them, and no one
has Il right to moltst you IN your le-
gal business. No matter what the
consequences may be-; no matter
what poverty and restitution are
produced, you have paid your mon
ely for this privilege, and you arc
licensed to pursue your calling.
No matter what families are dis
tracted and rendered miserable, no
matter what wives are treated with
violence, what children starvc Or
mourn over the degradation Of q
parent, your business is legalized
and no one can interfere with you
in it. No matter what mother may
agonize over the loss of Il son, or
sister blush for the shame of a
brother, you have a right to disre-
gard them all and pursue your legal
calling; you are licensed, You
may fit up your lawful place Of bu-
siness in the most enticing and
captivating form; you may furnish
it with the most costly and elegant
equipments for your lawful trade
you may fill it with the allurements
of amusements; you may use all
your arts to induce visitors; you
may skillfully arrange and expose
to view your. choicest wines and
most captivating beverages; you
may then induce thirst by all con
trivances to produce raging appe
tite for drink, and then you may
supply that appetite to the full, be-
cause it is lawful; you have paid
for it; you have a license,
"You may allow boys, almost chill
dren, to frequent your saloons;
they may witness the apparent sat
isfaction with which their seniors
quaff the sparkling glass; you may
be schooling and training them for
the periodof twenty-one, when they
too can participate, for all Of this is
lawful. You may hold the cup to
their very lips, but YOU must not
let them drink-that is unlawful.
But while you have all these priyil-
eyes for the money you pay, this
poor privilege of selling to children
is denied you. Here parents have
the right to say, Leave my son to
me until the law gives you the
right to destroy him. Donot antic
ipate that terrible moment when |
can assert for him no further right
Of protection; that will be soon
enough for me, for his mother, his
sister, for his friends, and for the
community, to see him take his
road to death. Give him to us in
his childhood at least. Let us have
few years Of his youth, in which
we may enjoy his innocence to re-
pay us in some small degree for the
care and love we have lavished
upon him
"This is something you, who now
stand a prisoner at the bar, have
not paid for: this is not embraced
in your license.
"For this of1ense the court SEN
fences you to ten days imprison-
ment in the county Jail, and that
you pay fine Of seventy-fve dol
lars and costs; and that you stand
committed until the fine and costs
of this prosecution are paid"

Masonic Hall.

The Masonic Hall in BENEFITS block is
about completed. The carpenter work
Is done and Mr.. SOuthOm has the paint
ing well under way. Yesterday it and
the parlOrs connected Herewith were
being scrubbed out and there is no ques-
tiOn but that every thing will be ready
for the grand installation party next
Tuesday evening. We congratulate the
fraternity upon their securing such
handsome and comfortable quarters.
During the week rumors have been rife
in regard to the building being unsafe.
We think it was entirely groundlsss
and have been to the trouble to get the
opinions Of some Of our most capable
citizens as to the character of its con-
struction and as to its being safe for
holding large assemblies. The unani-
nous opinion is that the building was
we'll constructed and perfectly safe in
every respect. Messrs. Cochran and
Howie, who are perfectly familiar with
its entire construction, say that accord :
ing to all the rules of architecture the
floor of the hall will sustain a weight
of 1000 pounds to the square foot. This
ought to satisfy even our weighty dane
ers as to its safety. The managers call
ed upon the board Of inspectors appoint
by the council to examine such building
and issue certificates as to their filling
all the requirements of the law prOvid-
ing for the safety Of public assemblies,
and we understand the certificate will
be granted inst as soon as the necessary
fire escapes are up and ready for service.
They will be in position to-day. We
think, therefore, that no one need appre-
bend any danger or remain away from
the party through fear Of the build
ing being unsafe.
