FNCROACHlNG PROHIBITION.

The enactment and enforcement Of
prohibition i'm Georgia contains Il lesson
to the liquor element everywhere that
might he studied to profit The fact
is that ninety per cent of the area OF
Georgia was "dry." But the trouble
was that men in the "wct' counties
sold and shipped whskey to dry "
counties. The people in those counties
could not be practically "dry,' though
nominally SO. There was too much
consumption of liquor and consequent
drunkenness in the dry counties, To
remedy that sort of thing the temper
ancc people Of the State ajority of
five to one resolved to make the whole
state dry 50 as to further hinder the
sale and drinking of liquor
This feature Of the case might be ia
en- into consideration by the liquor
element and the liberia citizens Of Flor
IDA. \ majority of the counties of this
State have voted themselves "dry,
but the facilities for the sale Of liquor
into them in some cases are only reduced
by so much as the distance to the near
est liquor dealer If there was an en-
forced law forbdding the sale or trans
portation of liquor into "dry' counties
the question of Statewide prohibition
would disappear for long time. The
people of the counties that are now
"dry" do not essentially care to force
the same law on IIillsboro or Duval or
any other county than their own. But
they do want their own counties to be
really and actually dry" This can
not be the case 50 long As liquor can be
and is shipped into them at will.
Right here is the justification of the
temperance people of Georgia and any
other state. They find their measures
for the protection Of their homes rem
drred Of no avail by Il deficiency in the
counties to do what is forbidden to peo-
pie of the county. In order to protect
their own people from the use of liquor
they must extend the zone of prOhib-
jiion. Georgia has enacted state pro-
hlhirlun, Hokc Smith has signed the bill
and hc Will see that the law is enforced.

Florida IN the next two years there will
be so many prohibit ionists elected to
The St. Lucie County tribune. (Fort Pierce, St. Lucie County, Fla.) 1905-1920, 1907-08-02

THE editor of the Jacksonville Flor
idan in commenting on the new law
adopted in Georgia, prohibiting the
manufacture or sale of all alcoholic
beverages within the State, says: 1.-The
editor Of this paper has already joined
the buttermilk brigade and is terrifying
for the prohibition fight we believe in
evtable two years hence. With only
about six of the forty-six counties of
Florida in the wet column, the outcome
is plain. 1t will be a five to one bet on
prohibition in Florida whenever brought
to a vote in the Legislature. "

STATE REPUBLICAN PARTY
What it Stands for and What its Chief
Aim.

Time was when the republican party
in North Carolina was a power for
the good of the state, but not so now.
The party does not stand for the appii-
cation Of republican policies TO n
government of North Carolina; it does
not stand for the upholding Of the re-
publican national administration by
sending republicans to congress. AS
the party is now constituted in this
state, it stands for little more than a
pie dispensing machine. Within the
ranks are many men of character n
ability, but under the present man
agement there is nothing for them 10
do. There is nothing to demand char
acter and ability. The one thing neces-
cary is pull and favor with those who
distribute patronage. Within the last
few months we have seen the leaders
Of the party hurting epithets at each
| other, intimating that there is some
thing powerfully rotten in Denmark
and the indian territory; we have seen
the only republican congressman drag
ged through the courts, and later de-
feated al the polls. We have seen
struggle after struggle and charge upon
charge within the ranks of the party
and for what? Was some fundamental
policy of government at stake? Wa
there a difference of opinion as 20 a
great struggle for supremacy against
the opposing party? Was a governor

any officer at stake? Was there &

FAILURE IN PHILADELPHIA

Announcement of Insolvency of A. L..
Appleyard treaties Sensation-H1S
at Head of the "Appleyard Syndi-
cate.
Philadelphia, June 13.-Announce-
ment was made at the opening Of the
local stock exchange today of the in
s~olvency of 4. E. Appleyard, one OF
it's members.
A%ppleyard created q sensation yes
terday by selling many thousands OF
shares of stock of the United Gas
Improvement Comptuy, depressing the
price nearly 81 a share. He admitted
that these were "short" sales and his
extensive operations puzzled the local
brokers. 1t is stated that he was I'M
able to respond to CATS for margins
today, hence the announcement of
his failure.
United Gas Improvement stock
which closed at So PA yesterday OPP
ened today at SO and was feverish and
excited around that figure, transactions
being heavy.
Appleyard has disappeared.
The larger stock exchange houses
got together soon after the exchange
opened and agreed tC make the adj
justment price on United Gas stock
% IA. They took 800 shares Of
stock at the price "under the rule"
One broker says Appleyard went
short of more than 10000 shares Of
United Gas, some IF which he bought
in at q profit.
Until yesterday Appleyard's opera
ton on the exchange had been so in
significant that he was known to only
a few of his fellow members. Apple
yard was at the head of what was
known as the "Appleyard Syndicate"
which a few years ago attempted to
secure a chain of banks throughout
the country and did succeed in con-
trolling temporarily banks in Buffa-
10, Washington and this city.

Laying aside ali speed laws, Dr.. G.
F. Yerdon of No. T276 Herkimer street,
Brookly, in an automobile won a race
with death early Sunday morning. The
stake was the life of 4 50 ounce infant

returned to their home IN the %autonio-

cided tn accompany him to the Hall
street house. A few minutes later The
doctor rushed from the house carrying
a large fruit basket. Inside OF tn
basket was the baby.
1t was nearly 4 o'clock when the
motor car drew up in front Of Dream
land. Mrs. Yerdon carried the basket
bearing the tiny mite. If the infant
survives the first "a hours, the chances
for life will be almost assured. New

New York, Jan. 26-Estimates of
the value of the space that skyscrap-
ers have added to the working area OF
big cities like New York and Chicago
reach a fabulous total, in Manhattan
alone more than 200 acres of floor
space have been added to the finan-
cial district bounded by Park Row.
William street and Broadway since
the steel frame came into use. This
total is being still further increased
by the erection of 10 new skyscrapers,
costing $40,00O,00O, which will sup
ply 100000 more square feet, or 20
acres. The largest of these skyscrap-
ers, the biggest office building in the
world, will add II acres.
Values in the financial section of
the city have increased to such an ex-
tent that recently a Broadway plot
sold for $500 a square foot-a rate
equal to 100000, an acre The
ground space of the business district
is fixed quantity-it can not be ex-
tended; but the actual working space
is limited only by the height to which
steel buildings can rise. This height
has steadily grown greater, until now

The famous sea fighter, is now on her
way to the West Indies, where she will
be seen by Admiral Evans feet,
which is carrying on winter manoeu-
vres in those waters. 1t is the opinion
of the British Consul here that the
Dire eadnought will remain in the south
ern waters of the West Indies, until
the winter is over, arriving in Hamp-
ton Roads, in time for the opening of
the jamestown exposition on April
26th, remaining there until the Brit

The Dreadnought was only short

having been a remarkably short pc
Rod in building. She is of $4,000 tons
displacement and has an armament of
ten twelve-inch guns, or nearly three
times the gun strength OF any other
battleship af1oat. This vessel has
speed of more than twenty knots an
hour and could therefore overtake any
