Plenty of Prohibition in Name. But Little in
Practice.

Plenty of Prohibition in Name. But Little in
Atlanta Constitution.
A representative of one of the largest whole
sale liquor houses in Atlanta, speaking of the
effect of prohibition upon his business says:
Our business is larger than ever. The move
ment in Georgia has hurt US little but we
have overcome our losses in this State by in
creasing our territory, and in this way we have
increased our business. In prohibition counties
we still sell a good deal of whisky of poor
quality, however, as the people who buy it won't
pay high prices as long as they are taking the
chance of being caught up with and fined. They
have to buy cheap article, as to make a
margin with which to pay their fines when
caught violating the law"
Another authority referring to the matter of
selling whisky in prohibition counties gets off
the following
''You can just put it down as settled fact
that a man who wants liquor will get it whether
he lives in a wet or a dry county. know mer
chant in dry county of this State who gets a
ten gallon keg three times week. The keg is
put in a barrel and then rice sugar is poured
in until the barrel is filled. Then the barrel is
headed up and marked rice or sugar, the case
may be, and it goes through all right. A good
deal of liquor is also shipped into dry counties,
branded vinegar. This is the way these things
work. The fact of county going dry will not
stop drinking. at least this is my observation"

At Wizards Hotel tonight. it was stated that
the report that O. G.sStaples, proprietor of the
hotel, held any of these bonds wasincorrect. He
had however, opportunities TO buy them, and
probably at a discount Col William L. Lowry,

orders, and that he at present owned a number
Of them. He had, however, consulted with the
parties to whom they were originally issued,

think, though, that all the order-holders would

Great Mems Memories.

George w. Childs gives prominence to fact
concerning General Grant that we have not
heretofore heard much about. We refer to
Grants memory for persons and faces. He could
call by name people whom he had casually met
years after such meeting Assuming this reten-
tive memory to belong to this remarkable man,
we are led to observe that memory is much
more important element of success in life than
is generally supposed Almost. all great men
have had remarkable memories. 1t is not so
much what man learns as what he retains and
can make available for use that profits him.
Charles Sumner, who was. a laborious reader,
seemed to remember everything he read. In
conversation he would quote from the literature
Of three or four languages upon almost any sub
ject which might be under discussion. In quot
ing from Edmund Burke or Lord Bacon he was
sure to get the magnificent or quaint phraseology
employed. Sumner had not, perhaps, acquired
more than thousands of other men, but he had
retained more.

A STRANGE SUPERSTITION.
The Delusion of Farmer Stokes-Souls in
Stones.

The Delusion of Farmer Stokes-Souls in
Stones.
New Haven Letter to New York Times.
Over near Middletown is farmer named
Edgar G. Stokes, gentleman who is said to have
graduated with honor in New England college
He enjoys. perhaps the most no.
table bit of superstition to be found
anywhere in this country, i'll our ont of Connecti-
cut. He owns the farm ON which he lives, and it
is valuabIe not quite so valuable though as 1t
once was for Mr.. Stokes's eccentric disposition
has somewhat changed the usual tactics that
farmer pursue when they own fertile acres.
The average man clears his soil of stones
Mr.. Stokes has been Iiling rocks all over
his land. Little by little the weakness-or phil
osophy-has grown upon him. and not only from
every part of Middlesex county. but from every
part of this State, he has been accommodating
wagon-loads of pebbles and rocks. He seeks for
no peculiar stone either in shape color or
quality. If they are stones. that is sufficient
And his theory is that stones have souls-souls,
too that not 80 sordd and earthly as the
souls that animate humanity. They are souls
purified and exalted In tho rocks are the spirits
of the greatest men that have lived in the past
ages developed by some divinity until they have
become worthy of their new abode. Napoleon
Bonaparte's soul inhabits stone, SO does Hanni-
balls. so does. Caesars, but poor pebeian John
Smith and William Jenkins, they never attained
such Immortality.

more or less reverence all along his fields, and
this by one name and that by another. he knows
and halls them all. A choice galaxy of the dis
tinguished lights of the old days in his pos
session. and just between the burly bits of
granite at the very threshold of his home is a
smooth-faced crystal from the Rocky mountains.
This stone has no soul yet The rough Jagged
rock on its left is George Washington. The
granite spar on the right is gorifeG with the
spirit of good Queen Bess. The smooth-faced
crystal, of these DAYS, is to know the bliss of
swallowing up the spirit of good Farmer Edgar
Carton Stokes 1t was not until recently that
mystifed neighbors obtained the secret of the
vast accumulation. of rough stones on the Stokes
farm. Mr. Stokes has family They all seem
to be intelligent practical business people.
There may be will contested in Middletown
one of these days.
