SALOON LICENSES REFUSED.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. dispatch in jack
sonville Times-Uni and Citizen: The
most important meeting of the Board
of County Commissioners that has been
held in this city for many years was
that of yesterday. Aside from the
regular business. action was taken in
the matter of saloons in the county.
The action taken, however. was not
that which usually occurs at this sea-
son of the year, inasmuch as the board
was enjoined from issuing licenses to
the various saloonkeepers TO carry on
business for another year from Oct. l.
For a long time the temperance ele-
ment, headed by the ladies of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union.
have been endeavoring to end whisky
selling. Col B. A. Thrasher was en-
ployed to see what could be done. and
he has succeeded to such an extent
that If an adverse ruling is not obtain
ed by the liquor men, no whisky. wine
or beer can be legally sold in Alachua
for the coming year. The temperance
people seem determined to close the
saloons, and the Board of County Com
missioners were forced to refuse IL
censes to the saloon men yesterday.
What the saloon people purpose to do
is as yet unknown.

A GOOD eovERNoR ASSURED.

EerTy f1Onle JOURNAL w nile the
Home Journal has been averse to an
early opening of the campaign for gov
ernor of Georgia. we have about de-
cided that the early announcement of
several most worthy men as candidates
for that Office will result in good to the
state and the Democratic party.
With j. Pope Brown of Pulaski, ].
H. Estill of Savannah, DUPONT Guerry
of Macon and ]. NJ Terrell of Merri-
wether in the field the people cannot
fail to elect a good man, worthy and
well qualified to make a good governor.
Should II. G. Turner of Brooks enter
the race, there would be no change of
this condition and there would be only
added assurance that the campaign
would be full of good points, interest
ing and instructive to an unusual de-
gree.
Further the presence of at least four
candidates insures emphasis on more
than one issue, making the contest
broad and elevating. rather than mar
row and personal.
At this juncture the Home Journal is
not ready to make definite choice,
though for local reasons we are in
clined to favor the candidacy OF Hon.
j. Pope Brown. This immediate sec
ton is by no means solid for either of
the candidates mentioned.
Augusta Chronicle: The South Geor-
gia papers declare that Mr.. Turner has
never said he would not become a can
didate. but only that he is unwilling to
enter into an unseemly scramble for
the office. In these days a man has to
get in the push and hustle for office.
Very few such prizes as the governor
ship of Georgia are handed to a man
unsought on a silver waiter.
Vienna News: The announcement of
Col. ]. H. Estill editor of the Savannah
Morning News, for governor of Geor-
gia, will be found in another column.
Col. Estill is regarded as a very able
man and will no doubt make a fine
race, and II elected, a great governor.
The News has not decided as yet who
II will support, and will not until ali
the candidates have announced and
made public their platform,

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. l5.-There was sur felt of frost news today, but the effect on the pI ice of cotton contrary to eXpecta- tions It was evidently a of too much being as bad as not enough Reports of frost and temperat atures approaching freezing point were numerous from all sections of the belt. but action on this feature restricted by the disappointing attitude of Liverpool wher c an easy tone of prices was recorded for both spots and deliveries. notwithstanding private cable advices stating that spinners were re- turning home being unable to find the quality cotton in the meaTer stock of the English market that they desired. The feature of to- days trading here persistent selling by recent purchasers who apparently dIs- couraged by the lack of enthusiasm in connec- ton with the bullish developments, and an other incentive for this liquidation was prob ably found in the easier tone of spots
 Closing quotations are about 10 points un- der yesterday.
 Considering the unpromising crop situation and strong statistical position, the indifference of Liverpool is of the wonders of the sea son. The receipts in that market today were none" and tho exports from this country to- day to Great Britain amounted to 100 bales. The question arises, where is the relief to come from at that rate At the moment the no movement South and especially to the ports. is expanding somewhat. and this may exert temporary unfavorable enect oil prices but the general outlook of the situa- tion would suggest a fair demand at any con clusionS

NEW YORK. Oct l5.-The market for cot. ton futures opened easy with prices Im4 points lower under selling by local and out side longs. started by very disappointing ca bles from the English markets and failure of Europe to buy near months as expected.

But before the first hour elapsed frost reports began 10 come in from nearly every State in the belt. most of them being of government origin. Then came light estimates for tomorrows New Orleans and Houston receipts and very bullish weekly government report made up at New Orleans. showing short yield as a general thing With chance of top crop to speak of On this news the market became firm and ad- vanced very rapidly.

Subsequently reports ef killing frost in several sections of the Mis- sissippi Valley caused Improvement of 2 from the bottom. but when 1t was ascertainea that they were incorrect. values eased of 7 from the top. being accelerated by the weak of spots, closing at a net loss Of to 10 points the day. Light frost materialized in a few points in the Atlantics but the temperatures were not sufficiently low to do any material damage. Clear weather prevails throughout the belt and predictions that generally fair and pleasant weather will con- tinue during the next thirty-six hours. Re- ceipts are on a more liberal scale, and 1t Is evident from the free offerings by interior hold CTS that there is considerable anxiety to Gis- pose of accumulations. In the meanwhile Eng fish spinners. notwithstanding the paucitv of stock in Liverpool. evidence disposition to stock up claiming that under present cond- tions trading is unsatisfactory, making it compulsory for them to pursue a hand to mouth policy. Trade on the continent shows no sign of improvement nor do the American spinne~s buy freely With such state of affairs cx- istng the restricted volume of business appar- ent can be accounted for easily.
