Correspondence.
Editor of The Times:

Editor Of Me Times:
Would it be considered rash to as
sert that for every dollar paid in the
treasury Of the State from the sale of
liquor license for this county, it costs
the county ten.
Suppose We first estimate the
amount paid out for license, then the
taxes Of the criminal court, then the
want and wretchedness, then the cor
ruption of labor, then idleness, depre-
citation in lands, loss Of wealth &C.,
originating from the liquor traffic, it
must assume that proportion or more
and it seems almost Incredible but
''facts are stubborn things" and this
subject cries aloud and appeals to all
good people to come forward and aid
IN correcting these evils. How any
landlord, tenant, farm or other labor
ers can be SO blind to their own and
the interests of the county as to oppose
local prohibition, in the face OF these
facts is passing strange.
Yet we find some of the advocates
of the license system still aahering to
it on account of revenue to the State.
1t has been said that revenues arising
from the sale of liquors should not be
considered at all, if the moral results
of the license system are such as to
sap the foundation of society, then
this is another reason why our good
people should be alive to the aboli-
ton of the license system for us to see
in our midst, men yielding to the
temptation offered them every day by
the traffic, and robbing their families
and happy homes of their best affec-
tions.
| had conversation few weeks
since, with young man Of family,
(who by the way is not drinking
man, on the subject of local option
for our county. "Oh!' said he, "what
good will it do me now. If it had
been adopted fifty years ago, l would
now be rich man and my children
would have time to 60 to school and
be well educated" How true! When
we look back on the history of so
many good old standard families of
cur county and find that their pros
poets have been wrecked by the infiu-
ence of this terrible licensed traffic,
and their children and grandchildren
just in the same, if not worse condi-
tion than my friend referred to above,
then this is another incentive for us
to be up and acting in behalf of local
option. Then this subject is non par
tisan in its character, and does not be.

A Romantic Story.
SPECIAL ELECTION

A story not less romantic and more
probable than that of Captain John
Smith, was told with never failing an
imation by Abram johnson, who died
in Salem township, Wayne county,
Penn, few days ago, at the age, as
he himself said and doubtless be-
lieved, of one hundred anG eight years.
His father was soldier in the Revo-
luton, the family living then near
Lake Cnamplain. Abram enlisted in
the war of 1912 as a private soldier,
but was soon made captain of band
of Oneida Indians under the COM
mand of Gen. Malcomb. In the battle
of Plattsburg he received sabre cut
in the neck, and was knocked down
by the blow. he lay perfectly still
feigning death, and did not vince
when British soldier thrust a bayo-
net into his knee to ascertain if he
were really dead. The young daugh-
ter of an Indian chief took fancy 10
the wounded soldier, and tenderly
aursed him back to health. Natu-
rally enough they fell in love, and at
the close of the war were married.
johnson brought his wife to New
York, and from here they went to
Sussex county, N. j. Mrs. johnson
becoming i'll was taken to some of her
tribe, where she died and was buried
with Indian pomp. Mr.. johnson then
returned to Salem township, Penn,
where he afterwards resided, support
ing himself many years by farming.
He lost all his money and property
through unlucky specalations, and it
was not long before he was a tARn
charge, for though entitled

VARIE TIES.

They are never alone who are &C.
companied with noble thoughts.
Fortune turns all things to the adj
vantage of those on whom she smiles.
The life worth living is the life that
is least appreciated.
No man ever became great and good
except through many and great mis-
takes.
1t is wise to cultivate the heart. to
to keep the affections in full life to
keep the heart young.
He needs no other rosary whose
thread of life is strung with beads of
love and thought.
Home religion is thing of the
heart-which is the same as saving it
is thing of love.
Find earth where grows no weed,
and you may find heart whore no err
ror grows.
When one has no design but to
speak plain truth, he may say a great
deal ia very narrow compass.
A big head is no more of an evil
dence Of brain than paper collar is
of shirt.
If you want enemies. excel others;
if you want friends, let others excel
you.
