Discussion of Prohihition.

jacksonville. Jan. s.-(Speclal)-A meet
ing OF prominent citizens was held here
yesterday for the purpose Of considering
the question of prohibition for Jackson
willie. 1t was determined to petition the
Legislature to pass bill prohibiting the
sale of liquor within three miles of the
State Normal School here. Most probably
another petition will go TO montgomery
at the same time asking the establish
ment of a dispensary in prefer ,nce to
total prohibition. Those in favor of dis
peEsary rather than prohibition fear that
blind tigers will take the place of the
