apparently, can shake Its popularity. Built
upon strip Of upland, where the waters
OF bay and ocean meet, 1t has n grand view
Of the Atlantic. Its beach is broad and
smooth, and 1t is considered the grandest
bathing ground on the coast. The danger
GUS undertow that makes bathing at some
points insecure is here unknown, and per-
feet safety. seems to reign oyer the waves
that lave its silver sands. Its streets are
broad and level, and all its structures have
an air Of solidity and an absence Of newness
that is refreshing Of itself. An unobstructed
view Of the ocean Is obtained from one end to
the other Of the magnificent boulevard that
runs parallel with the ocean for distance
Of five miles. Its beach is its glory, and
its new iron pier the pride Of Its people.
1t is as smooth as billiard table. Its sky
is always blue, and Its SUM seldom hidden.
Its bathing facilities are glorious and are
taken advantage of to thefull. Noon is the
favorite hour for this diversion, and thou

Mays accommodations, extensive as they
are, are taxed to the utmost. Early as it

will push its predecessors very hard In an
effort to beat the record.
AT the extreme southern end Of New Jer-

the northeast side is surrounded by the
Atlantic ocean and Delaware bay. AL
though 1t is but two miles distant from
Cape May, 1t is connected with that resort
by rail, and the residents Of the two points
are generally equally well acquainted with
both stamping grounds. Like Spring Lake,
Cape Nav Point possesses q fresh-water
lake, which is fed by cool and sparkling
springs. The lake is situated within few
hundred feet of the Atlantic's salty
breakers. Its hotels are excellent, and its
guests are always sure of finding a plenti-

Georgia has passed, by a vote of
five to one, an iron-clad local OPP
ton law. Under it an election can
be held every two years, in any
county, on the question of license
or no license, until "no license"
wins the day. That ends the mat
ter; no more elections on that issue
can be held. But if the License
vote is in the majority, the issue
can be tested again and again ev-
cry two years. Under the old law
1O4 out of 1873 of the counties of
Georgia were under prohibition;
the new law makes permanent the
no license victories.

What the People Lose through
the Saloon.

To some, the saloon seems to be
of money value to a town. This is
a mistake, and a mistake that
should be corrected. Not only is
the saloon of no money value to
town, but it is also the cause of
great pecuniary loss in nearly all
cases.
Let US take, as representative
saloon, one doing yearly business
of S., 900. Part of this amount, say
one-half, is paid the wholesale deal
or. AS most of the saloon-keepers
get their stock from the cities and
large towns, this $500 is removed
from the control of the people of the
community. This sum is thus lost
to them. But, you say, is this not
true of any business? No, it is
not. For, in most businesses, the
wholesale dealer gives in return
for the money, something of an
equal value; something that will
serve as food or clothing or will
benefit mankind in some way.
Money expended in this way is not
lost for an equivalent is received
in exchange. The community is
benefited, at least to the extent of
the expenditure. But such is not
the case with the liquor business.
The liquors which are received,
when used as beverage, will not
serve as food or clothing to an yone,
nor will they benefit anyone. $4,000
is therefore absolutely lost to the
community. And this is for but
one saloon doing a business of
S., 900 year.
But this is not all. Those who
are employed in the saloons might
be engaged in some honest labor,
and thus be working to the advan-
tage of the community. The car
penter that builds a house, the
blacksmith that shoes q horse, the
farmer that raises crep of pota.
toes, each performs work that
benefits the community. But the
sale on-keeper does not labor to the
advantage of the people, but places
himself in the way of their ad,
vancement. If there is progress,
it is not accomplished through the
saloon-keeper but in spite Of him.
He is an idler, as far as aiding in
the advancement of the people is
concerned. He builds no bridges
paves no streets, hauls no stone
Now If he were engaged in one Of
these employments his labor would
have a certain money value to the
people. Place this at $4O0 year
This amount is lost to the commu
nifty through his keeping saloon
Adding this $400 to the $500
paid the wholesale dealer, we have
81, 800 lost to the people through
one saloon in one year.
Nor is this all. The saloon oc.
cupies stand, which might be
used for some other business. A
grocery store might be kept there
or meat shop. The place would
then be an advantage to the com.
munity, but as the saloon is of nc
beneft to the people, the value Of
the place is a dead loss to the com.
munity. Putting this value a,
SIC year and adding it to the
$500 above, we have $500 abso.
lutely lost the community through
one saloon in one year! Six saloons
each doing a yeazly business Of
$1,000, would pay the wholesale
dealer $780, %. Allowing eight bar
keepers to these SIX saloons, the
value of their time would amount to
$500. Six business stands, valued
at 5000 each, per year, would make
l,2C1. Adding, we get $34, 400.
This amount is actually taken
away from the community through
the saloons. J. f. s.

REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.

REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.
Your Committee on Temperance
would submit the following:
1. That the traffic in and use of
intoxicating liquors is the greatest
evil of the age. In the United
States there are nearly 100000
drunkards, and on account of their
drunkenness 100000 women and
children are suffering the untold
horrors of the body and soul destroy
ing traffic. Every year 100000 OF
our citizens are dragged down by
the murderous traffic to drunk
ards grave, and, we fear, to drunk
ards hell, as the law of God says,
''No drunkard shall inherit the
Kingdom of God" 1t is not only
the greatest evil from a moral
standpoint, but also the greatest
financial evil of our land. The
Federal Government receives an
nually $S1, 100000 revenue for the
manufacture of all kinds of liquors,
and the States receive $20,000,000
for licenses, making total reve-
nue. of $1O0,000,0O0.
To balance this, the debit side
must include the cost of 81 per cent
of all pauperism and crime. Ac-
cording to this estimate, the most
reliable statistics show that for ev-
cry dollar received from this source,
ten dollars, or 81, 000,000,0O0 are
required annually to sustain the
paupers and punish the criminals
which the liquor. traffic creates.
2. That in the United States, the
increase of intemperance has been
proportionably much greater than
that of the population.
3. That, unless something is
SHORTLY done to stay this mighty
and ever increasing evil, our Nc
ton cannot stand, our free institu-
tions will be no more, our civil and
religious liberty will be forever
banished.
4. That we know of no reasona-
BILE way of mitigating these evils,
except that of legal prohibition.
5. That we pledge ourselves, as
Christian citizens, to vote for no
one for any Office who is not pro-
hibitionist by principle and by
practice; and to use all means,
which are not in violation to the
Word Of God, to abolish forever az
beverage all intoxicating drinks.
6. That we condemn the action
of the last Legislature in not SUBJ
hitting the proposed amendment
to a vote of the people; and that
we renew our petition to the Leg
islature, to submit to vote of the
people, the long prayed for amend
ment to our State Constitution.
7. That we respectfully petition
the Legislature to pass a law re-
curing Temperance instruction in
the public schools.
8. That the West Virginia FREE
MAN is an able helper in our cause,
and worthy of our patronage.
Respectfully,
j. N. B. WooDsoN.

Tennessee Reading Circle.

The August number Of the Journal
in its report of the State Teachers
Association contained short notice of
an address by Prof. John L. Lamp
son ofthe State Normal College, on a
course of reading for teachers and the
organization OF reading circle for
the state.
This address and the resulting or.
ganization are undoubtedly the be.
ginning of movement which, if sue
cessfully carried out, will have an eff
feet on the teachers and the state that
cannot be over>estimated. The plan
is not a new one; it is, in fact, mod>
eled upon the widely known Chau-
tauqua circle. This latter aims at
giving to all a course of reading that
shall promote general culture.
The Teachers Reading circle, too,
seeks the general culture Of the teach~
er, but its especial work is profession
al education. 1t does not aim at
abolishing normal schools; the neces
sity of having them is as great as ever.
It's purpose is to reach the great body
of teachers who have had and can
have no opportunity of normal school
training and to enable them to get the
knowledge that is strictly professional
In the organization of this reading cir
Gle we recognize that Tennessee teach
ers are fully abreast of the time1, anC
are in line with Iowa, Ohio, Illinois
Michigan, and other states that have
reading circles, which are making
teachers more than ever power il

There is much anxiety in Eastern |
Maine regarding the reports of the ex.
istence of Asiatic cholera at Hants>
port, Nova Scotia, as there is a great
deal of travel between the provinces
and the states. It's reported that the
deaths at Hantsport average sixty a
day, out of population of only 1000,
The epidemic is said to have been
caused in this way: Last fall a shoal
of black fish came up the river. which
runs almost through the village, The
tide receding, many of these fish were
left on the mud flats. A local firm
secured the fish, and taking a large
quantity of oil from them buried the
carcases on the shore. This summer
the place where the fish were buried
became regular stencil pit. When
the wind was blowing from the river
the smell in the village was almost
unnearable. This was allowed to
continue for some time, but finally II
covering of lime and earth was put
over the carcases, and the stencil
caused no further annoyance. The
neglect ola effective sanitary rule is
at the bottom of the trouble.

A new and peculiar plea for stump
speaking is put forward by the Rich,
mOnd, Va, Dispatch, to the effect
that discussions on the huStings serve
the purpose of educating voters who
cannot read. The objection to such
an argument. is that it is Extensively
partisan, being intended to benefit
democrats exclusively.-St. Louis
Globe Democrat.
The trouble is, the republicans in
the South don't want the uneducated
voters instructed in politics, because
they are mostly cOlored, and vote as
they are told by their masters.

The New Orleans Picavune in a
recent article shows state of facts in
the cotton raising that is worth the
attention of the planters of the cotton
belt. The acreage of cotton culliva-
ton has increased 10 per cent, while
the production has increased only 4.
The reason probably is the lack of
proper care in handling and housing
the seed; and also it is largely due to
the fact that the colt ON seed oil mills
buy up all the best seed for their use.
leaving only the inferior product of
the last ginning for the planters use.
There are drawbacks enough in tie
way of the cotton planter without the
addition of bad seed.
