MAKING A FIGHT ON JUICE.
An Interesting Beverage That Is
Dispensed i'm WaycrOss.

Waycross, Ca, Feb. 16.-The Waycross
City Council is having some rather Juicy"
matters to handle just now
Waycross is a prohibition town and Ware
county is under the same high license law,
a fee of $S0, 900 being required in advance
before anyone can legally engage in the
selling of intoxicants.
The officials have had considerable trou-
BILE with blind tigers, and certain place
along the most prominent business thor
oughfare has become so notorious that it
is known as Tiger Row"
Notwithstanding the prohibition law, the
city fathers have placed a license fee of
500 upon some sort of drink commonly
known as Juice" but which the vendors
claim is positively not Intoxicating. 1t is
true, however. that the men who frequent
those dives often get crazy drunk and
many disgraceful fights follow. If the par
ties who cause the trouble are brought up
before the courts on the charge of Illicit
whisky selling they plead guilty TO the sale
of Juice" produce their license, and in
that way many times they defeat justice.
Recently there have been two or three
arrests on the charge of selling juice with
out license. w. b. Holland was fined $50
and in default of the payment the city
marshal levied on his stock of Juice" He
is an old Confederate soldier, and it is said
he will enter suit to recover his "drinka-
bic" and win plead exemption from pay
ing license, under the act exempting Con-
federate veterans.
Another place was closed yesterday on
account of an execution issued by the
Mayor, for the non-payment of 1899 license.
and a fine Of $50 for violation Of Juicy
law.

GREAT CHANGES EFFECTED
ISLANDS IN THE CHESAPEAKE
BEING oBLlTERATED.
BANKS ON THE EAST OF THE BAY
ARE LOW AND AFFORD SLIGHT
RESISTANCE TO THE WATER.

Cambridge, Md, Aug. 4.-Many
great changes are being gradually ef-
fected by the waves of the Chesapeake
on the water fronts of the Eastern
Shore Unlike the high bluffs Of the
Western Shore, the banks on the east
of the Chesapeake are low and afford
but slight resistance to the rush Of
waters. and this disadvantage Is prov
ing fatal to much of the best farming
lands of the shore. In the western ex-
posures the contour of the land has,
during very recent years, become en-
tirely changed, many small inlets and
streams becoming oblherated and new
islands formed by the action of the
current and waves, which, having a
sweep Of the entire breadth Of the bay
necessarily gather great force when
striking the lee shores.
An example Of the changing geog.

county. No more than five years age
this island was not In existence, but
was a great cape on which fertile farms
ilourished. The island will soon be OBJ
liberated

owned by Miller Creighton, of Balti-

Cambridge, Md. Aug. Mot for
