What mean above by saying that
the consumption Of alcoholic liquors Is
annually falling off In proportion to
population, is that the increase of con.
sumption is not in proportion to the
increase Of population
In 1870 there were distilled In the
United States and imported IS. 400. los
gallons Of liquor. Take off one-third
for manufacturing purposes and IL
leaves about $4,000, 900 gallons
for drink, TO be consumed
by 3s,1l5,e41 Of people. In
1880 there were made and imported
", l32,4l5 gallons, from which take
one-third for scientific and medicinal
purposes, and IL leaves about 40, 600, 900
gallons to be consumed by $4,000, 0O0
population. The above computation
gives five quarts per capita In 1870, and
three and one-half per capita in 1880.
In 1917 the consumption, according TO
Brlsted, was 25,000, 900 gallons. The
population at that time was $500 900,
hence the per capita was q little over
eleven quarts. And yet / heard q

BELToN, TEX April 30. Sometime
since the Bolton council, L. F. Il. de-
termined to give theatrical perform
ance on Friday, May l. AS it was
known that the council possessed,
amongst its members, some of the
best amateur dramatic talent in the
city, the above announcement salts
fed the public that they would have u
performance worthy Of patronage.
The drama selected is Nevada, or the
Lost Mine.p This drama
is somewhat ON the sensa-
tional order, but, vet it affords very
good opportunity for the display Of
comic and tragic talent. BY invita-
ton from the manager, Mr.. w. j..
Brabb, your correspondent attended
the first dress rehearsal last night as q
critic. We expected TO see many
thing to criticise, and really feared
that we would offend at least half the
performers by my criticisms. Imag
ing our surprise and agreeable disap-
pointment at finding each one well up
in his part, and, excepting little stiff
ness, naturally incident to such oc-
casions, nothing really deserv.
ing of criticism. AS q whole,
they acted in q manner
worthy of professionals. 1t is the
equal, IL not the superior of any anna
| teur performance we have ever seen.
There is to be q citizens meeting al
the temporary courthouse tomorrow
afternoon to take some steps toward
securing Baylor university. Our peO
pie recognize the value of the institI
ton and the importance of having II
here, and will offer liberal inducements
to get it.
DR.. w. George from your city has
accepted the call from the Presbyterian
church OF this city and will preach bis
first sermon here next Sunday. Or
Friday, the Sth Of May, the Presbytery
of Central Texas will meet here. Dur
ing its session DIR. George will be In
stalled; DR.. Dabney of Austin will
preach the installation sermon.
The weather continues too wet To-
farmers, but all hope that with thu
incoming of May there will be chang
for the better.
