SALOONS AND PROSPERITY
Jackson News Is a Convert to Pro
hibition

! 1t has been well known for many
years that the editor of this paper
never favored prohibition, and on
one occasion jumped actively in the
| fight to retain the saloons in Jack
| son, but there are some things about
nently and which can not be passed
! over. Taking the saloon and its
bearing on the race problem, the
News has reached that point where
! it believes that prohibition is best for
J the South. But aside from the moral
aspect of the question. there is
material side to the question that can
not be overlooked 1t will not be
disputed that the three most pros
porous cities in the State which have
shown more growth than any other
large towns, are Jackson, Meridian
and Hattiesburg, and strange to say,
all these cities are prohibition They
have discounted the cities OF Vicks-
burg, Natchez and Greenville III
growth and expansion. Why this is
the News can not say; but there the
fact stands out prominently that it
is true. A great many people in
Jackson believed that when the sa-
looms were banished from the capital
city that it meant that it was DOOM
ed to go down, even beyond what
it was then When the saloons were
put out of business Jackson had
about seven thousand population and
one or two factories. AT one time
there was a strong sentiment III the
city for the return of the saloon. but
many of those whe were formerly
in favor of the saloons are now vio-
1ently opposed to them. 1t is prob
able that there will never be saloons
IN this county and city again. This
may be rather broad statement
but the News believes that it is true
These are facts in connection with
prohibition that have put people to
and which have contributed |
to the growth of the sentiment

Continuing the above comparison, |
let it be known that Aberdeen,
Columbus, Corinth,
Greenwood, Hazlehurst, Kosciusko,
McComb, Laurel, Tupelo, West |
Point and Yazoo City, all prohibition
towns in the class just below Jack
son, Meridian and Hattiesburg. have

over the Southern railway solid ex-
press cars of jugs of whiskey at a
time. 1t IS also a fact that the sa-
looms IN Greenville ship to the blind
tigers in this and adjoining counties
practically all the .whiskey they get.
1t can not be denied that these sa-
looms solicit the trade of these
blind tigers and extend them cred
it, and that without the support of
the saloon in Greenville, the major
ity of them could not continue to
exist, and that but for this support,
the major part of them would never
have engaged in this most despicabio
traffic
Ii this traffic produces the effect
above stated upon the negro, and we
are willing to concede that it does,
the laborer or by Our wealth must
be produced, and his value as a la
borer thereby destroyed, and he
made a public charge, instead of a
producer of wealth, is an economic
problem-not to put it upon any
higher ground.
Is it best for the country that this
traffic should be licensed to continue
its demoralizing and destructive
work, because it brings few dollars
to the town, that otherwise possibly
might not come? Does it pay?
One negro might spend in the
town $4,000 per annum for blind
tiger booze which will make of him
a lunatic, pauper, or criminal
charge upon the community-and
his wealth producing powers de-
stroyed.
With the saloon and the blind
tiger" which it supports, out of the
way, this same negro, whose wealth
producing power has been ruined
is as much as one negro can stand
should be able to produce, at least,
five bales of cotton per annum, of
the value of about $4,000.
Which pays the best, which Is SOr
the best interest of the people, the
planter, the negro, the county, the
Delta, and the state?
1t will not do to answer that the
blind tiger" would run just the
same, anyway, and that he would
purchase his liquor III Memphis,
Kansas City or elsewhere. Not So

has not money, as rule, to pay cash

ton oil mills, supports a large class
of laborers, doctors. dentists, lawyers
banks and every class is benefited by
the cotton planters.
Now, have gained any favor with
you? Is the man who brings cotton
you than the saloon man? Can you
hesitate between us? Which can you
do without? Have / any right to
call on you to vote SO we can pro-
duce this cotton a little cheaper?
Have | a right to ask you to sign
the petition SO | can get this vote?
Have the cotton planters any
rights in your city at all? If you
want to help yourselves, help us on
this point, for we can not live apart.
But we must have better protection
for families to live in this county.
We must have prohibition, and we
then would not feel the awful fear
when we are away, that our loved
ones are exposed to every drunken
man, who drives down the highway
drinking and carousing.
We can control the labor better,
and work six days and rest the sew
enth. Now, the laborer works four
days and is drunk Saturday, Sunday
and Monday You can not make a
cotton crop working only four days
in the week
We ask you to help us carry this
county for prohibition, We will help
you do it, and help you afterwards.
AS to the taxes; who pays the most
taxes? Do the saloon men pay more
than the cotton men? Whose taxes
keep your levees? Cotton pays al
most all of it.
Jackson merchants say they have
better trade; Port Gibson merchants
say trade is better; Columbus, Meri-
dian, Yazoo City, all agree.

COTTON PLANTERS APPEAL
To the Legal Voters of Greenville,

There have been leaflets distributed

us to continue something that is

Does this not appeal to you2 Must

that few big" lawyer may get fees
