LIQUOR LICENSE $4,000 A YEAR
Wsycross, Ca, Being Only a Small
Place, Has Therefore Mo
Saloon.

The town of Waycross, Ga, has
solved the liquor problem. At a re.
cent meeting of the city council the
fee for a license to sell intoxicating
drinks was fixed at $4,000 a year
Wayeross, undoubtedly, is the high.
est licensed town in the United
States. AS tits not big place, it is
needless to say that no saloons exist
there.
As a temperance town Waycross
dates back in 1886. In holly contest
ed campaign, just nineteen years ago,
Ware county, in which Waycross is
located, elected a prohibition repre-
sentative 10 the state legislature. At
the expiration of his term the fight
against liquor was continued, the city
council being induced 10 fix the II.
cense fee at $4,000 per annum, pro.
hibitive price, it was believed.
In 1889 a merchant conducted a tiny
box of a store ON the principal street
of Waycross. His entire stock was
barely worth 5000, and his total sales
amounted to probably half as much
each month. Imagine the surprise Of
the clerk of the city council when he
received a call one morning from this
merchant, who laid $4,000 In cash up
on his desk to pay for the privilege of
selling whisky in Waycross for one
year!
Recovering from his shock, the
clerk requested the merchant 10 call
later in the day. In the meantime the
mayor of the town was notified, and
he issued hurry call FOR a special
meeting of the city council.
The council was only few minutes
in getting into session, and an ordi-
nance was quickly passed, raising the
license fee to $4,000
Upon being informed that the coun.
Gil was meeting the merchant appear
ed before it and promised to pay for
the employment of two additional pc
licemen for the entire year, provided
he license fee was permitted TO re-
main at 10000 The council refused,
and as the applicant declined to pay
the additional IS 900 Waycross con-
tinned to do without liquor, or at
least liquor sold legally
For several years the license fee re-
NAMED at $4,000 year. but in 1894.
when a stock company was organized

the price was again raised. 1t now
is 10000. Every year Ware county
receives some revenue from the
blind pigs" who are arrested and
fined for selling whisky without a
license, butt even these arrests are
growing fewer.

No Place for a DRAGON Ely.

A big brown dragon fly floated
leisureiy into Sixth avenue depart
inert store the other day and zig
Jagged its way to the lace counter,
where it made one of the midair
pauses so common TO the insect and
so startling to the spectator unac-
quainted with its ways.
The Iause was made directly In
front of a blue-eyed young woman
with auburn hair, rampant, la pom
padour, who stood behind the counter.
The blue-eyed young woman was
so amazed at the fierce-eyed, quiver-
ing apparition that she was speech
less; but when the dragon fly, salts
fed with its inspection, made wild
dash toward that rampant head, the
owner sent up Shrek which at once
communicated itself to the other
young woman behind that and ada
cent counters, until 1t would have
been thought that wholesale murder
was being done there.
"Sh!" said some one at last who
seemed to know something. IT'S only

A bachelor whose skill at getting

plenty of company in the evenings is'

with no fear of evil consequences.
The trick lies in the granting of the
cheese. Broken into bits it would
melt into pasty mass. Finely divid-
ed, each particle should be Individual
ly toasted before it has a chance to-
melt down, and in that state it is
