selves, but all their hopes were dashed
when they were informed that under the
Raines law they could not divide ii
among themselves in quantities of less
than five gallons without taking out a
license, under penalty of being sent 10
Jail. The citizens have the cask still on
hand, and are bordering whether to or
ganize as liquor company and take out a
license or venture upon the experiment of
taking five gallons at drink and 60 on
with the picnic.

correspondent of the New York Times
in revie wing the industrial conditions of
the Southern States notes there has been
large decrease in the number of hired
laborers in the country and a large in
crease of tenant farmers. This is the first
step. and when the tenants become own
ers of their small farms the revolution
from the old to the new South will have
been fully accomplished.
