ARE DOWN ON WHISKEY
PEOPLE OF CENTURY WON'T HAVE
 BOOZE.
Number of Convictions For Retailing Distilled Stun Made in Local Court-Prominent Negroes
 Pay Big Fine.

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. 24.-(Special. ) People of Century. Fla, growing town just south of the Alabama line,
 are determined that there shall not be a drop Of liquor sold in that precinct if they can help 1t. and to that end are
 exerting themselves in the matter of
 punishing those who attempt the sale of the beverage.
 At the present term of the Criminal Court there have been not less than half dozen convictions for selling liquor without license and in most of these cases the prisoners have been prominent negroes, each of whom suf- fered the adopted penalty of a fine of
 $250 and costs or six months behind the bars.
 The session of that tribunal today was taken up mostly in the trial of a negro named Norris, who had been caught at illegally disposing of the liquor. The evidence against him was so strong that the evidence from eleven witnesses could not force the fact down in the minds of the jurymen that he was guiltless.
 During the first part of this week. two negroes who stood among the most prominent Odd Fellows of the State, were convicted of this offense and were sentenced to pay the big fine and costs. They made one of the strongest fights for acquittal possible, but the evidence from the State was unshaken and they were punished.
 The people of Century are determined that their town shall in no way be despoiled by the presence of a saloon. and to that end have entered protests against any and all petitions for license at that point.

baseless. I would answer them here if space permitted. as 1t is. promise my friends an early and complete refu- tation.
 With all his Rooseveltism, his Booker Washington Endorsement for United States District Marshal, his nomination by a convention composed partly of negroes. and the Republican platform demanding social equality. he had just as we'll try to grow water melons in an ice-house, as to try to command a respectable support of the white men of the Fifth District.

DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE ANSWERS
 REPUBLICAN OPPONENT.
Fifth District Congressman Explains His Connection as Secretary of State, With the Pardon of
 Sanford JncObi.

] Hon. J. Thomas Hefiin, Democratic Congressman from the Fifth Alabama
 Co., oHgressional District. was In Mont-
 gomery yesterday, and gave out the
 following signed statement relative to
 the statements made by his Republican opponent, Capt. B. W. Walker, relative to his connection with the Jacobi par don:
 The Jacobi matter Is not at all an
 issue in the Fifth District, and the only reason that I refer to 1t Is that one MT. Walker, Republican, who was nom- mated for Congress at Tuskegee. by a few white men and a lot of negroes, has undertaken to create the impress sion that I denied signing the report of the Board, and that the papers in the case were hidden from him. or not in place for inspection at the Capitol; and charges. by implication, that I had something to do with keeping them out of place.
 As an answer to these false accusa- tions. l simply want to say that stat ed in my speeches and in an open letter, which was published all over the District and in three daily papers, when I was candidate for the Dem- ocratic nomination for Congress. that I was not present when a majority of the Board of Pardons. the Governor sit ting with them, acted on the Jacobi case and decided to pardon him. T also stated, and I repeat 1t here, that when I arrived at the meeting of the Board, I was told that the decision had been reached to pardon Jacobf, and l that 1 then and there stated my oppo- sition to this course, although the writ
 ten report of the Board, which was merely formal, the Governor having already stated that he would pardon him, requested pardon.
 '1 have never, at any time or place, denied signing the report of the Board
 in the Jacobi case.
 T also stated. in my speeches and letter. that under the statement of the Governor and a majority of the Board, 1 that there was nothing that I could do
 that would change the situation, MT. | Walker seems to lay stress upon the fact that my name appears second on
 the report. Where my name appeared
 on the report of the Board means noth- l ing. as the reports are always typewrit- | ten, the official titles of the Attorney General, Secretary of State and State Auditor are also written by the type writer, and they sign where their re- spective titles appear. I do not re- member just where signed. but 1t was in the vacancy left for my signature. The matter had. been settled, and this action was merely formal.
 Here is the open letter which I cir culated and prepared in April which satisfactorily explains my position to the people of the District:

A well dressed man named Bartee, who had found pleasure in beating a young woman. who was a friend of his, was given twenty days in jail this morning by Mayor Welles upon a recital of his alleged actions. The young man tried to pay his fine, but reports which had found their way to the mayor made the jail sentence hold. It is thought the suspension of this sentence will give the defendant a chance to leave town, and this will he accepted. The charge was against him today of simply assaulting with hs hand.

New OrleanS-double header
 The pennant belongs to Lew Whistler and his Montgomery friends will heartt- ly congratulate him. Even IT the Pelicans were to win both games Of the double header with the Pretzels today it would still leave them three points shy.
