bring national Prohibition sooner than

The Saloon

The business of licensing Whis-
key is against the peace, welfare
and morals of the people, and
governments are organized for the
preservation. Without the law it
would be stamped out as a nui-
sance. The key to the whole
problem is: There is no equation
between protective or regulation
law and sin. Sin cannot be pro-
tected, thus justified by law The
supreme court says: "The Stats
tics of every state shows a greater
amount of crime and misery attrib-
uted to the use of ardent spirits
obtained at these retail liquor
saloons than any other source )"
Such a business has no moral right
under protective or regulation law
Why does the saloon live? Did
you ever ask yourself the question?
What good does it, or has it ever
done2 The saloon, however IS
without defender upon the ros
trum. No public speaker will take
the negative of the real issue
Prohibitionists say the saloon is a
nuisance, that it is injurious to the
health, the morals, the peace, and
the financial interests of the pco-
pie. No one will be found to deny
this in public discussions. Anti-
prohibition speakers discuss any
thing else but the saloon, and yet
that is just the subject they are
logically bound to discuss Per
sonal liberty, sumptuary legisla-
ton, Timothy with his weak
stomach, these all receive much
attention, but no speaker of self
respect or with reputation to
preserve will argue the merits of
the saloon as promoter of health
and good morals, a contributor of
law and order, or a purifier of poll
tics. The saloon is absolutely
friendless among the reputable
public speakers and.Writers.

TWO LARGE LUMBER DEALS.
An Order Placed for 100,000,000 Feet by a St. Louis Concern-Another by
 Boston Company

Meridian, Miss, Aug. 10.-(Speeial.)- One of the largest transactions ever con summated in the lumber business in the south has just been effected on the line of the New Orleans and Northeastern railroad in the pine belt country south of this city
 The St. Louis Gutter and Refrigerator company has placed an order for 100000 900 feet of lumber with the J. J. White Lumber company of Lumberton, Miss, late of Michigan, among the largest man. ufacturers of pine lumber in the United States. The order will necessitate an en- largement of the company's already ex- tensive plant and will cover it's output for five years to come
 Another large deal in the same line was recently consummated by a Boston concern with Eastman, Gardner & Go. of Laurel, Miss. Two solid train loads of lumber, forty-four cars, passed through this city today en route to it's destina- ton. There are constant and extensive developments in this line of industry in this section of Mississippi, and it's pine timber is being shipped to almost every country under the sun.
