LOCAL OPTION IN NEW YORK CITY.
There is a fair prospect that New
York city will have a chance to try
local option. A local option bill has
been prepared, and win be introduced
into the Legislature at an early day.
But the local option that is proposed
is not exactly like that which we have
here in Georgia, though it is the same
in principle. 1t is proposed first to
give the people a chance to say wheth-
er or not they want local option. If
they do then they will be given their
choice of half a dozen kinds. They
will be asked to say whether they want
the saloon. whether they want the sa-
loon open on Sundays, whether they
want it open only a part of Sundays
and other similar questions. In other
words, it is proposed to let the city
people have their own way about the
selling of intoxicants.
OF course there is a pretty big ele-
ment that doesn't want the saloons
open on Sundays even long enough for
the beer drinkers to get their beer cans
filled, and there is a smaller number
that doesn't want the saloon open at
all. but it is safe to say that this ale
ment doesn't cut much of a figure in
the settlament of the liquor question.
BY the great majority the saloon is re-
garded as an institution that will stay.
Their aim is to regulate it, and to COM
pei it to obey the law.
Most of the legislation heretofore re-
speeding the saloon in New York has
been the work of the UP country leg
islators. They think New York city
is about the worst place in the world.
and that it is their duty to look after
| its morals. They have done their best
to keep the saloon closed on Sundays,
but they have only partly succeeded
The law has been evaded, and now. it
seems. they have come to the conclu-
sion to let the people themselves say
whether or not they want the saloon
open on Sundays, and. if so, whether
they want it open all day or only few
hours of the day.
Local option appears to work well i'm
this state. There is some complaint
of course that the wet counties send
intoxicants into the dry counties, but
| these complaints are made mainly by
those who don't want to see money
sent out of the dry counties for that
purpose. There is very little complaint
of drunkenness or of whisky drink
ing by the people of the dry counties.
Indeed, there is very little heard of the
liquor question except in state election
years. The inference therefore. is that
local option is doing a good work.

FRInFlNTf, slFE,sxy IRON T51,1.M,N.

Senator TiHman expresses his
thoughts in homely, but vigorous,
language, and he knows how to be
prudent when the occasion calls for
| prudence In his letter to Old Hick-
DRY Club of Philadelphia, which gave
a harmony dinner last Friday night.
| pointing out what must be done by
the Democratic party to win success
in the campaign this year, he said:
I'VE must ignore past differences on
matters of policy, but no candidate
can succeed who is obnoxious to the
South and West, just as no candidate
has succeeded who is obnoxious to the
East The two wings of the party
must flap together"
But is the Senator going to try to
have the two wings flap together or
is he going to pursue a course that
will prevent them from doing so? Tn
doubtedly there must be concessions on
both sides If there is to be harmony.
Mr.. Bryan, in his interview on his
return from Europe, indicated pretty
plainly that as far as he was concern
ed there would be no concessions. He
meant to stand for all there is in the
platforms of 1896 and 1900. Does Mr..
Tillman stand with Mr.. Bryan or does
he think there are some things in
those platforms that can just as well
as not be left out of the platform
that is to be adopted this year?
Mr.. Tillman classes the South with
the West. Does not the South rather
stand with the East? Unless we are
greatly mistaken the South is willing
to accept a platform and a ticket that
will be satisfactory to the East. The
South must furnish the most OF the
electoral votes for the ticket. The
prospect of electoral votes from the
West isn't at all encouraging. There
may be a few from that section, but
there will be very few.
The ticket. if elected, must get the
necessary votes from the South and
East. The South being practically in
harmony with the East it is for the
West to get into harmony with it. In
order for the two wings to flap togeth-
er there must be a willingness on the
part of the West to give up some of
the things it insisted upon in 1900.
When it does that the two wings of
the party will flap together.
Mr.. Tillman was in close sympa-
thy with the Western wing in 1900.
Wouldn't it be good policy for him to
say to Mr.. Bryan and some of the
other Western leaders that as they had
their way in 1896 and 1900 and met de-
feat. it would perhaps be just as well
to let the East have her way this year?
If he and some others were to take
that stand it is probable that there
wouldn' be much difficulty in getting
the two wings to flap together. A lit
tie talk directly to the point would
be much more effective in bringing
about harmony than his statement
that a candidate must be nominated
who can command the respect and
loyal support of all patriots That
statement is SO prudent that it doesn't
disclose what he intends to do in the
direction of harmony.

Much discussion was occasioned some
months ago when Mrs. Roosevelt said
that any woman ought to be able tc
dress on $500 a year. And now comes
Robert Lorraine, an English actor
who is in New York, and says that
it is impossible for amy gentleman to
dress well for less than $1,000 a year.
This sum is for the clothes alone, and
does not include the honorarium of the
eentlemans gentleman who helps him
put the clothes on and off several
times day Furthermore, Mr.. Io-
raine says any man who must give
any considerable time to business can
not possibly be well dressed since so
much time is required in making the
changes of toilet that are essential to
being properly clothed.

WINTER RESORT ADVERTISING.

1t is worthy of notice that about all
of the winter resorts are doing a great
deal of advertising in the localities
from which they expect winter visitors.
We are not informed whether the au-
thorities or the hotels of these resorts
are bearing the expense of disseminate
ing information regarding their invit-
ing attractions. 1t may be that there
is a community of interest.
Some of this advertising is of very
elaborate kind. The pictures are so
fine that one almost feels like pack
ing his trunk and starting for one or
the other of these places at once. Evil
IDENTIFY the pictures were so taken as
to convey the impression that all the
days are fair and full of sunshine and
the temperature that of early sum-
mer.
We doubt If any of these places ad-
vertising their advantages so literally
have as many attractions as this city.
The weather here this winter thus far
has been particularly fine, the sun
shining brightly and the temperature
not being below 60. There has been
one or two cold spells. but they did
not last long. A gentleman who had
spent the previous four winters in the
most favored winter resorts of Europe.
and who, at one time, was a prominent
citizen of this city, said last winter.
while on a visit here, that he had found
nowhere winter climate equal to that
of Savannah.
1t is a fact that Savannah has a
good winter climate, and besides is a
very attractive city for visitors. There
is good hunting and fishing nearby and
there are all the advantages for amuse-
ment that are to be had at other win
ter resorts. Now that the city has
tourist rates, we have no doubt that
little effort, such as other winter
resorts put forth, would result in bring
ing a large number of visitors here for
the winter.

Tie New York Sun the 6tHef DAY
bought cold brick from a space=flIeF
who resides III Syracuse, in the shape
of 1.OO0-word story telling Of an old
negro woman of the name of Hixson
who had run away from slavery in
Georgia a few weeks ago and walked
1000 miles to Syracuse According to
the woman's yarn, or at least the yarn
the space-fller sold the sun, there
are still 300 slaves on the Hixson
plantation, guarded by fourteen blood
hounds and many bosses" The
whereabouts of this Hixson plantation
is not stated, but the space-fler places
it ''in the heart of Georgia." yet in
fcrN 81 must be somewhere near Sa-
vaw1 IN, since the woman said she
had been employed on the plantation
lin the cotton field, and at picking
oranges" She also drove teams car
rying the cotton, sugar, tobacco and
oranges from the plantation to the
ships" in view of this remarkable
combination of circumstances, the
plantation necessarily must have been
near Savannah, since this is the only
seaport "in the heart of Georgia" that
is surrounded by cotton fields, sugar
plantations, orange groves and tobac-
co fields. 1t is remarkable how little
some of the big New York papers know
about the geography of and the condi-
tions in their own country.

Some druggists of New York city
recently threw a boomerang that has
thumped them smartly on the back.
They complained that the department
stores were selling drugs, chemicals
and proprietary medicines at such low
prices that they must necessarily be
practicing adulteration and substitu-
ton. An investigation was ordered
and undertaken by the New York
State Board of Pharmacy. Hundreds
of samples were procured from the
department stores and the drug stores.
Analyses were made, and it was found
that, without exception, every particle
of the stuff sold by the department
stores was pure and precisely as rep
resented. But not so with the samples
from the drug stores; S5 per cent. of
all the drug stores of Manhattan We're
detected in both adulteration or substi-
tuition.
