WINDER, Ca, Nov. 6.-The safe of DIR.
w. p. De LaPerriere, of Hoschton, was
burglarized Tuesday night and s465 taken
therefrom. About year ago DIR. De La
Perriere was similarly robbed of $1,000.
A couple giving their names as Born,
claiming to be from Gainesville, were ar
rested here yesterday as suspects. They
were carried to Hoschton on the afternoon
train.
The safe doors were not locked, but only
closed. In blowing open the inner COM
partment of the safe, the burglars tore 1t
all to pieces and even destroyed some of
the money. AS in last years robbery,
tools were taken from a nearby shop.
There seems to be considerable differ
ence in the testimony of Born and his
wife, as their accounts of themselves do
not tally. Mrs. Born started to Augusta,
but was arrested at Monroe, and brought
back here, being afterwards sent to
Hoschton with her husband.

TOO posrrTvr.

General Wheeler iectured in Louisville Wednesday night and according to the newspaper reports he brushed aside as problem of speedy and easy solution the qualification of the Philippines"
 If the old veteran was correctly re- ported he has allowed his impulsiveness to carry him too far. The solution or the problem is neither "easy nor speedy" and if the General has a plan for ac- complaining that much desired end he ought to let it be known. More than two years ago The Advertiser was criti- cised somewhat for contending that those who were looking for a speedy end or the Philippine troubles were likely to be disappointed. The trouble has been drag ging along during that period with vary ing success, but can any one see where 1t is any nearer ended now than 1t was two years ago? Where an enemy can be found by our forces he is whipped or killed, and on the other hand our sol diers are surprised and killed or cap tured by the insurgents There are bands of guerillas all over the isianos and small bodies of Americans are not safe out of sight of their forts. Where is there any prospect or hope of an easy or speedy end? We must con- fess we can't see it.

PAY YOUR POLL TAX.

All males in this State between the ages of 21 and 45 are subject to poll tax of $1 50. There are exceptions in the new Constitution in favor of those now exempt by law. This exception applies to all those in active connection with the State troops by membership in regu- iarly organized military companies or bat talion or regimental organization. It does not apply to any honorary member. Volunteer firemen are by special act for some localities also exempt. Township trustees of schools are also exempt The great bulk of those between the specified ages are subject to the poll tax, and they constitute one-half the voting strength of the State. Every cent or the poll tax goes to the county in which it is paid and is to be used exciusiVeiy for school purposes. It is not by any means a hardship to ask for the contri- button of q. 50 from the voters within poll tax age, when the money is to be used for the great cause of education Be- sides this, however. all those thus sub- feet, who do not pay the poll tax due Tor 1901 prior to the first of February next will be debarred absolutely from the privilege of voting in Party primaries and at regular State elections. There is no way of evading this prohibition. It Is a constitutional provision and election of ficers will not dare permit it's violation. The extremest penalty of law will be visited upon them if they do.
 There are thousands of young white men in Alabama who have never Voted' They have become of age since the last election. They ought to consider 1t one of the greatest honors of their lives so walk up to the Tax Collector, pay the poll tax, and obtain a receipt, that will enable them to enjoy one of the greatest privileges of a free man, that of cast ing their votes according to their own predilictons. In fact we do not see how any white man in Alabama, who Is sub-
 ject to poll tax can claim to have dis
 charged the duty of good citizen if he fails to qualify as voter.

INJUNCTION AGAINST STRIKER
Judge Chetlain Grants Plea O.
 Machinists' Employers.

Chicago. Jan. 3.-Judge Chetlain, in the Circuit Court of Cook County. today granted the Robert Tarrant Company a macPbinists butt in doing so devsred ag opinion said to be the direct antithesi of a recent ruling in the Federal court Judge Chetlain said strikers had the right to use peaceful methods in their fights and declared that "a patrol or picket may not necessarily imply force or Q threat of bodily harm.'
 In granting the injunction the court explained that 1t was not because the place was picketed. but because there was unquestioned evidence that the pick cts had used threats and violence. The court also declared that persons charged with violating an injunction should not be judged by a magistrate on a charge of contempt of court, but should be given jury trial.

Howell of Chicago, representative or the cane sugar trust. Similar shipments will be made soon to Minneapolis. St. Paul and other northwestern distributing points. The cane sugar interests are thought to be planning to place so much of their sugar on the merket that the beet sugar people, the smaller concerns at least, will be forced out of business.

The Governor. Auditor, and Commits sioner of Agriculture have made good selections for registrars of voters in the various counties. In few days all the appointments will have been made, and there can be no doubt of the fact that the Requirements of the Constitution is to registration of voters will be carried out. The opponents of the convention charged that in the black belt the lists would be loaded down with the names of persons who were not entitled to registration. Their predictions will be proven false. Just why that class of men want to keep up separate organi- zation is easly enough understood. but they will not be able to deceive enough people to enable them to secure control of affairs in this State.

THE OLD coNTENTIoN.

Professor w. Q. Atwater, the distin- guished scientist has found after a long and arduous experiment. that alcohol is food and in moderate quantities is ben eficial to the human system, In which opinion Professor Frederic S. Lee of the New York College of Physicians and Surgeons and Dr. William Salant of Cor nell University concur Now If these distinguished professors will devise some means by which a moderate use" will not produce that fatal, abnormal thirst that makes drunkenness and creates drunkards they will be doing a great service to their kind. Nobody has ever really believed that a mere drop of the creethur' would hurt anybody, but it's the inordinate craving for a whole demi- john full of other ''draps" following the first that plays the smash with poor. frail human flesh. Only get that element out of 1t and the race would be compara- lively happy. Times.
 No doubt the controversy over that question began with Noah. When he was getting over his first spree his family probably tried to make him be- lieve that grape juice was not good for his system, and we suppose the old sea- dog contended that little of it was good for his digestion. Be that as it may, it is a sure fact that both doctors and laymen have held diametrically op- posite positions on the subject as long ago as history takes us. Leaving out all Scriptural references. the pros and cons among profane writers and dialecticians have never wanted for arguments to sus- tain their respective positions.
 The truth Is that the man who argues that strong drink is hurtful, and the man who contends that it is helpful to the human family each has strong case. Arguments, statistics and facts which are apparently irrefutable can be brought forward to sustain either posi- tion. There is no reason to doubt that Professor Atwater and those who think with him can bring forward arguments which cannot be overcome to show that there are times and circumstances when alcohol in some form Is not only help full but necessary. There are people to whom some form of stimulant Is at times absolutely essential to life and health and these cases sustain the contention of Professor .Atwater. It is folly or pre- judice to deny this.
 On the other hand, every man who has gone through life with his senses about him has of necessity seen the evil eff fects of the drinking habit and the great harm resulting from it. Men not only drink more than is good for them under any circumstances, but some times they drink when even moderate use of any form of stimulant is no tonly unneces- sary, but is positively detrimental. It is absurd for the advocates of either side to hold that they are always right and that those on the other side are always wrong Neither side has all the truth or all the facts to sustain 1t.
