To the Editor Of the Register:
WESTON, July She correspondent of
Intelligencer, under the head OF Islander
refuted," says he is averse to controyer-
sy, but muss reply to en- attack made on
him by the REGISTERS yum correspond.
est. That the REGISTER man did not see
the twenty five or thirty kegs of beer that
cane to town on Saturday. No, he did hot
see them for they were taken out OF the
car after dark and hid away, but he heard
OF them; that the actual amount received
over the C. & W. on Saturday was six half
kegs and one full sized keg, making total
Of four full kegs. IF the witty correspond
ert ever bought or sold any beer he would
know that what he calls full kegs are GUAR
ter barrels. As for the twenty-five or thir.
ty kegs coming on Saturday / might have
been mistaken, but they came within one
week before the Fourth / am sure, for /
know of one party getting two kegs and
one case.
nome "CoId Faets.''
We will sift down for the mo license" man
and his pet paper. He quotes 10 barrels, 3
half barrels and 4 kegs of whisky delivered
here during the month of April, and none
for the month of May, but he forgets that
1t was a supply being laid in after the
court refused to grant license. Can he tell
me what hoo hooanae of that whioky? IL
surely could not have been consumed
during the month of April, especially when
the most OF it came toward the latter part
of ha pnttan
by two or three parties. Is the party from
whom he got his valued information aware
that there is lot of the ardent spiritco
with the kegs packed in boxes and billed
sundries, etc? When he says twenty.seven
cases and FIVE kegs were shipped here
during the month of May The does not say
who they were shipped toy he ought not
be sstonished when twenty-five or thirty
kegs or cases are received within week

such as he knew we're against license, and
Prejudiced Against License
to the very extreme. Moreover he did not
get majority of the business men on his
side. l defy the lntellisencer man to
point out to me one regular inebriate who
has not been drunk since the first OF May.
How do they get the ''rum? If they do
not get it in direct way they get it in an
indirect way and get drunk in spite of the
As predicted, there were more plain
drunks here yesterday than at any time
during the prevalence" of license, as he
would style it. Why, they had
quite n Row
on the fair grounds yesterday. One OF the
parties was arrested and brought before
the Mayor, who failed to learn where he
got his whisky: He got it, all the same.
Now l have shown him the other side of
the question, in alplain, unvarni shed way,
and without any blarney. AS for being
treed, perhaps am not any closer treed
than he who would not have to go outside
of his own family TO find one who imports
a good portion Of the rum he Is bowling
so much about. As he says, am ayerse to
controversy, but if he is not satisfied am
willing to keep pace with him, or at least
fry. LICENSE.
