ANSWER TO A CRITIC.

Pensacola, Sept. 8.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
In Sundays journal, an article head
ed "A Loud Voice from the Pine
Lands" criticized my previous article
Let us see what merits are therein:
The heading itself is no doubt in

that he has done something great
Has he succeeded in condemnfng my
theory? We viii take it seriatim:
The first part refers to prayers. On
this subject I have written twice al
ready. 1t seems the prohibition cleo
ton should be no more of religious
problem than any other election
Surprising in any great undertaking
where there are two sides antagonistic
to each other Both pray. Whom
shall God favor? Or act as arbiter :?
He has created the world and every
thing therein. which include cereals
and fruit. WfFat knowledge have we
whether he did or did not intend that
some of those should be converted into
a liquid to be used by m0rtals2 It
seems its use has been tolerated for
centuries, and that Christ made and
used it. MIR. Roberts claims He did
so merely to show his, power. Neither
him nor myself can prove TO the con-
trary, but Christ could have done
greater miracles than that of making
wine out of water to show power and
l am therefore of the opinion that he
did this in conformity with the Jewish
law, which is yet in vogue-to drink
it for the purpose of gladdening their
hearts.
This theory certainly seems more
reasonable. AIr. Roberts remarked
Christ did not sell it. This 1 consider
too ridiculous To answer. The gentle
man may be ever so sincere with his
theory, burt it does not coincide with
the ideas of the enlightened public of
the twentieth century. He claims for
the nOnsensical side of prohibition,

Dear Sir: Enclosed am sending
you a list of the terms of the circuit
court Of Jackson county, beginning
with the fall term, 1898. and ending
with the spring term, 1867, inclusive,
showing number of weeks for each

may have some further use for it

for the four years preceding the Vot-

You will note, as I stated TN my
letter of August beth, that there has
been an increase of crimes for the
past eight years, but that the in
crease for the four years previous
to the voting of the county dry was
as marked as it has been since the
local option election. The greatest of
any one year over another year was
the fall term, 1900, and the spring
