THE WHISKEY QUESTION.

We clip the following from the
last issue of the Waycross Jour-
nal and print it here for the bene-
fit of those that insist that bar
rooms are essential to Fitzger-
AIDS prosperity.
We do not consider it proof
positive that we will do as well
commercially without the saloons
as we have done the past two
years but we offer it as a set-off
to the argument that Americas
and Valdosta find the saloons es-
sentia1 and one of their strongest
supports.
"Milledgeville has grown more
in the past eight months under
the prohibition regime than it did
in the fifteenyears preceding with
barrooms.-Mil1edgeville News.
And yet some folks insist that
barrooms build up a town.
None so blind as those who don't
want to see. Milledgeville, Du-
bin and McRae are the towns,
among a great many others, that
illustrate the fallacy of such an
opinion Enterprise.
"Laurens county has done ex-
tremely we'll under prohibition
and the people have no desire to
even again see whiskev sold
here. There are some who think
that If Laurens were a liquor
county the growth would have
been still more remarkable, but
their opinion is against the
weight of facts to the contrary.
Dispatch.
And Waycross, which led all
the others in prohibition, in
twenty years, has grown from a
town of 800 to 5000 without sell
ling liquor while some of her
neighbors that sell liquor have
stood practically still. And
Waycross' prosperity cannot be
gainsaid when 90 per cent of her
people own their homes, and
there are no loafers for the va
grant law"

Trust to Close Factories to Install
Machine Blowers.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, last night
says: One Of the most sensational moves
made by the American Window Glass Com
pany was inaugurated today, when the ex-
ecutive committee of the corporation issued
a formal notice to its workmen that after
a lapse Of seven days, and on March IA.
all of the factories Of the American Window
Glass Company will close for the season.

do.
The moment the factories are closed the
company has arranged that a large force of
men will be put to work to equip them with
the new glass blowing machinery. 1t is said
that all Of the factories Of the company
will be equipped with the new machines,
which will do the work of the skilled labor
by machine and removing from the glass
factory the highest priced skilled labor
known In the country. 1t will give the
company glass production at a cost Of less
than one-third Of the cost under the hand
labor.
President James A. Chambers Of the
American Window Glass Company, in dis
cussing the latest action Of his corporation,
said the blowing machines would be in
stalled in all Of the company's plants as
rapidly possible. The shutdown however
will be for considerable time
The action of the American Window
Glass Company in closing its factories and
installing its machinery Is said to be it's
answer to the independents, who have re-
fused to come to an agreement concerning
a uniform closing Of plants this spring. To
make more emphatic the statements Of the
big corporation, it was stated that q charter
had been applied for under the laws of New
Jersey for the incorporation of the Ameri-

Of which is to be controlled by the directors
and officers Of the glass company, and
which will own all Of the patents and man
ufacture all Of the machines for making
window glass that now exist.
The officials of the company declined to-
night to make any statement regarding the
plans of the new corporation until the char
ter had been secured, but In a general way
1t was explained that the new blowing ma
chimes were to be manufactured exclusively
for the American Window Glass Company
and installed in the works. being paid for
on the royalty plan.
All former lists have been Withdrawn by
the American Company, and it is now be-
lieved that a cut in rates will be made.

BLIND HELEN KELLER's PLEA.
She Asks State to Devise Employment
for the Blind.

A special to the New York World from
Boston yesterday says:
Helen Keller, the famous deaf, dumb and
blind girl, who is taking a course Of study
at Radcliffe College, addressed, through the
medium Of an attendant. the legislative
committee on education today, favoring the
resolution for an investigation Of the condi-
ton of the adult blind She said in part:
1T has long been my earnest desire that
something should be done to help the blind
to support themselves. 1t is terrible to be
blind and uneducated, but 1t is worse for
the blind who have finished their education
to be idle. Their very education becomes
burden because they cannot use it.
''They think, think, think. in the long
days that are nights. They have been
taught to aspire; they have read books;
perhaps they have tasted the higher edu-
cation and now they are sent back from
school, often to poor homes, with nothing
to do except to contrast with bitter longing
the school days, full of books and music
with the hopeless, inactive present. The ed
ucation was delight and a privilege. but
for what have they been educated?
'If this commonwealth will establish
commission to place the blind in positions
Of self-support 1t will be doing three things:
Helping the blind, relieving itself OF the
burden of caring for them and setting an
example to other states"
The legislators listened to her with close
attention.

his efforts were of little avail. She could not
keep anything on her stomach, could not sleep and
she wasted to shadow. We procured bottle Of
Paine's Celery Compound for her. Its use gave
grand and wondrous results. She soon slept well
at night, got stronger and her appetite raturned
She is well and strong and does her work

the breadth he heretofore has shown, Is

LINCOLN HOME TO BE SOLD.
Birthplace of Martyr President to Go,
at Auction.

A special dispatch to the New York Her
aid from Hodgenville, KY, yesterday says:
The old Lincoln homestead near here,
where Abraham Lincoln was born, will
probably be sold under the hammer"
within the next few weeks.
A petition has been filed in the Larue
circuit court by A. w. Linforth, as trustee
in bankruptcy of Alfred w. Dennette. plain
tiff, against David Crear and Alfred w.
Dennette, defendants. The suit Is for the
purpose of setting aside a former sale Of
the farm to David Crear by Alfred w. Den
nette, on the ground that there was no
consideration, and that it was fraudulent.
The trustee wishes the farm sold at auc-
ton.
The old log cabin which stood on the
place and in which Lincoln was born was
torn down several years ago and taken to
the Buffalo exposition, and was later re-
moved to New York city. The only thing
that marks the spot where Lincoln was
born is large aagpole. which was erected
there shortly after the removal Of the
cabin.
