MI. FIagIsr and the Liquor Sellers

Mr.. Flsgler makes it a condition
in his land contracts and deeds at
Miami that no intoxicating liquors
shall ever be manufactured or sold
on the premises, under penalty of
forfeiture The liquor dealers of
the state combined and bought a
lot, erected store and commenced
selling liquor. They proposed to
test the legality of the restriction
and engaged Major Alexander
Saint Clair Abrams to represent
them. Mr.. Flagler obtained an
injunction and shut up the store
and the matter came before Judge
Broome on a motion to dissolve
the Injunction. After a trial last
ing two days, the judge decided
that the restrictions are legal and
can be enforced against even third
persons and lessees. 1t was urged
that such contracts are in restI amt
of trade and contrary to the law
which permits parties, after OBJ
tanning license, to sell liquor in
any precinct, but Judge Broome
held that If person buys land
under reasonable restrictions he
Is bound by the contract and can't
complain. The case goes now to
the supreme court. 1t is of great
interest to Mr.. Flagler, as he is
trying to make Miami a desirable
town to live in. Mr.. A. G.. Hamlin
of Jacksonville, who conducted
the case for Mr.. FIagler, is re-
ceiving hearty congratulations at
his legal victory -DeLand Supple

If We Had But a Dav

We should fill the hours with the sweetest things
If we had but day.
We should drink alone at the purest springs
In upward way
We should love with a lifetime's love In hour,
If the hours were few;
We should rest not for Dreams but for fesher power
To be and to do.
We should guard hayward weared wills
BY the clearest light
We should keep eyes on the heavenly hills,
If they lay in sight;
We should trample the pride and the discomfort
Beneath our feet
We should take whatever the good God sent
With trust complete
We should waste moment in weak regret,
If the day were but one;
If what remember and what forget
Went not with the
We should be from clamorous selves set Free
To work or to pray,
And to be what Father would have to be,
If we had but day.

to wave hats and flags and banners: while

other popular airs, in the chorus Of which
many of those present joined. ''Dixie,"

effect of frightening the enthusiasm and
