A letter From y Judge &. IL May
ers-How Prohibition Works
in Lawrence.

BRANDON, Jan. 9th, 1893.
DR.. H. F. johnson. Brookhaven:
DEAR SIk-Your postal received. In re-
ply to your inquiries, l will state that, in
those counties in the 9Th Judicial dis
trict, where prohibitory laws exist, crime
has diminished, morals improved, expen-
SEES of holding courts lessened, and the
terms shortened; facts which no one will
deny who knew the situation before and
after those laws were enacted.
Lawrence county furnishes facts which
illustrate what | have said above. The
law prohibiting the sale of liquors in that
county went into practical operation in
Dec, 1880, when the last liquor license ex-
PRED. In Nov. 1880, | held the regular
term of the Circuit Court being allowed
only six days, that time was not sufficient
to dispose of the State docket. SO held a
special term in January, 1881. to finish the
criminal docket and consumed eleven days
in doing so. At the November term the
Grand Jury found 43 bills, and at the Spe-
cial term found IS bills.
At the May term, 1881, only 10 bills were
found and court held only days.
Since then court has not held the DAYS
allowed by law, and at the last term in
Nov, 1888, court held only 81 days.
Before the liquor shops were closed, |
had to appoint special bailitf to keep
order in the vicinity of their location; but
since then everything is peaceable and
quiet and it is rare to see drunken man
on the streets during court. Everybody
admits the change for the better. which is
owing to the. law prohibiting the sale OF
liquor in that county.
The statements above made as to the
return of the Grand Jury, ETC., are taken
from a record which l keep showing the
number of bills found, ETC., at each term
of each court in my district.
| could give you similar examples in
other counties hut deem it unnecessary.
/ am gratitied to be able to state that
there is growing sentiment all over the
district against whisky drinking, and that
too among men who are addicted to the
habit but who know and feel its baneful
effects.
| 1t is not improper to state that at the
session of 1882 there were more prohibito-
nv laws passed than at any previous session
| Hoping some means may be adopted tt
eradicate the evil from the State, remain
Very truly,
| A. G. MAYERs.

NEwBURGH, N. Y, April 1S.-In the Afri-

day, Rev. 7, G. Harper resigned from the
denomination. He did not like this country
it was only free in theory-and spoke OF
the caste spirit and ostracism of colored men.
He was called here from his native country,
British Guinea, to become professor of the
Centenary college, New Jersey, but owing to
color his services were dispensed with. He
said he would enter his protest to the Epis-
copal church, receive ordination and return
to British Guinea. Bishop Moore, presiding,
said all knew many of these things were true.
Colored gentlemen were not rightly treated
in the south, not even being allowed decent
accommodations in the cars.

Philo Remington and wife served an an

property. 1t alleges that Mr. King owned
the property, but that Mrs. King held no por-
ton Of it except as trustee. 1t further al

consented to have all property

the husband when the latter became insol-

Indebtedness to the Remingtons is at placed

such right and title, and had endeavorcd at
times to negotiate with Remington for the
purchase of a part of SAID property, and made
offers of price which be would pay therefor.
In conclusion Remington says that he has

property. and that it did no more than reim-
burse him for his investment, with lawful in
