OTHER ASPECTS.

There has been a marked and steady
falling off in drunkenness and drink
ing, and dealings and settlements with
customers have been, as a rule, far
more satisfactory and pleasant. Even
1.-The jug trade" generally greatly mag
nified. has gradually decreased.
Many old drunkards have re-
formed and few young men,
comparatively, are forming the drink
habit. The good results of prohibition
are especially noticeable among the
farming class. Scores of farmers who
used to bring their country produce
to town. spend their money in saloons
and go home empty handed filed with
liquor, now come in, attend to their
business quietly, go home sober and
carry something useful to their fami-
lies.
THE CITY MARSHAL SELDOM HAS TO MAKE
AN ARREST,
and good order, however large the
crowd, is the rule on our streets. The
old city calaboosc, often in demand
during saloon days, soon fell into dis
use under prohibition was subsequently
torn down. and there has never been
considered any necessity for replacing
it. Farmers can now send their negro
employees to town with their wagons
and teams with perfect confidence, feel
ing assured they will return on time
and without accident caused by drunk
en- drivers. To the negroes even more
than to the whites, prohibition, has
been veritable boon. Labor is bet
ter and more reliable, and what is
earned is saved or turned to better
account.
PROHIBITION PROHIBITS;
at least the law against the sale of Ii
uuors is as we'll observed and enforced
as those against most other misde
meanors. From time to time there
have been "blind tigers" run usually
by the lowest and most degraded class
of negroes, but they are generally soon
hunted down and made to pay dearly
in the end for disregarding the law
1t would be the widest exaggeration
to charge that they had ever, at any
time, approached in harmful results
the evil effects of the licensed saloon.
In short, in view of Brookhaven's ex
perience, it is safe to say that few, il
any, of her business men or other good
citizens, regardless of how they stood
before prohibition was tried, could be
prevailed upon to vote for the saloons
return.
The late white cap troubles in this
county did not owe their origin tC
either Prohibition or liquor. but had
there been saloons and plenty of whis
ky convenient after the excitement
started, to dethrone reason and in
flame mems evil passions, there is lit
tie telling where the trouble might
have ended.

The Aberdeen Examiner publishes
list of Monroe county farmers who d.
versify their crops, and gives the acre
age devoted to each product. Most of
them plant equally of corn and cotton,
and they have say 100 acres of oats, so
acres of wheat, 80 of sorghum, 80 Of
peas. 80 of hay, 10 of potatoes, 10 Of
peanuts. etc. etc. and all raise mules
cattle, sheep and hogs. That is sensi-
BILE, and any farmer who follows the
deversifying policy for few years will
find himself measurably independent.

their money, but more by their labour and
energy, had acquired prop rites AMI had spread

ssv that those who came afterwards were also

of view of political ECONOMY the island bene-
fits by having them. at is therefore quite

it neither politically right nor useful to do it."
Councillor van Br,kls then proceeds to
give u sketch Of he actual relations in regard
to the two languages, Danish and English, in
the !'"lony.
Next he proceeds TO examine the POI 9 adj
vanccd by Pastor Lawaetz, that the spread
of the Danish language would unite the colo
ny closer to the mother country, would cause
Danish means to be invested out here and
would open opportunities for our young men
IL Denmark. As to The first, he says that he
Inhabitants Of the colonies have never been

it his indeed been much greater tha1 that
from tic opposite side. The loyal feelings
0i the colonies have been Shewn Oh great
national CT royal festivals and i'll the recep-
ton Of Prince Valdemar. In rcgari to the
second point he says thll Danish fortunes seek
Investments at home and i'll regard to the
third polut. he asks, 'What shall a poor devil
from tic islands do in a country whose own sons
have it hard TO get along?" No, ths wide

This knowledge they get, or at all events can

Tie next, and last paragraph so far as St'

says For the Clergy of the State Church
