PARIS, KENTUCKY, TUESDAY. MARCH q. 19o7.7

Before prohibition the city had So
saloons. These were abolished, but IN
their places were opened under local
option, some 40 wine rooms, and the
number of drug stores, considerably IN
creased, so that the number of places
at which liquor could be had was prae-
tically as great as before the adoption
of the law. There were, besides, a
dozen or more club rooms in the city.
The members of these clubs carried
keys, went in and out and got drinks
from the hired bartender at WILL,
On Friday, the 10Th of August, 1887,
a single train brought 300 jugs of whis-
Ky to the city and 20 more came by the
same train on the following day.
One hundred and fifteen of the 1871
counties of Georgia had local option
laws in force in 1867. That the laws
were imperative was demonstrated by
the fact that the number of licenses
issued by the United States Internal
Revenue department for the sale of
liquors at retail was 1916, in May,
June and July, 1887, or only IL less
than in the same months of the year
before the laws went into effect. The
number of distilleries in the State was
7S in 1887, as against SO before prohibi
ton, an increase of 81 per cent. The
capacity of these distilleries increased
from LAP to 1900 gallons per day
after the adoption of the law The dis
! tillerieS were all small and marketed
their entire product in the State. The
consumption of homemade whisky in
Georgia was, therefore, 1893 gallons
more per day under prohibition than
under license. It is estimated that
the quantity of whisky shipped into the
State and consumed here was about the
same as before. There was also an ex-
ceSsive increase in illicit distilling in
the State under prohibition. This is
proved by the number of seizures by
the revenue department, which increas-
ed from 1872 in the year ending June
80, 1886, to 224 in the following year.
The manner of enforcing the law
was such as 20 bring not only it, but all
sat in court at Atlanta in 1887 and saw
man fined S25 for adultery, and in the
next case heard the court impose fine
of $500 upon Il man found guilty of
selling a drink of liquor. 1t was. there
fore, in the eyes of the Prohibitionists
of Atlanta, a twenty times greater
crime to break one of their laws by
selling a drink than TO break one of the
ten commandments and commit adul-
terry. Cases similar to this were of
daily occurrence. Men were fined SIS
and $50 by prohibition judges for beat
| ing their wives so brutally that their
lives were endangered, while fines of
$500 were levied for violation of the
prohibitory law

a GRAND GATHERING.

The granGest and most enthusiastic

Ten thousand men shouted them,

against the renewed efforts to wreck
the city by prohibition. The march to
the Opera House began at seven

been seen in Atlanta since Shermanand

the Bodach, says he:
your dinner will be ready for you
when you are done blowing that field,
but don't on the peril Of your life come
in till the last sod is turned"
Tho poor fellow when he looked Mt
the size of the field, three miles every
way. and thought that he wasn't TO
get dinner till he had every sod OF It
turned, his heart went down to his
boots, and little wonder. But he feil
to anyhow, and he began to pillow, and
every furrow took him two hours from
start to finish. and he hadn't half
dozen burrows plowed in the field WHOM
he dropped down from weakness ana
the fair dint Of hunger
The Bodach he come out to see how
he was getting along. and he came up
to him where he was lying. and he
gives him the toe OF his boot, and Get
up out of that" says he.
"Oh, OH weary's me-" says the young
fellow, ITO ever hire with you anyhow.

he, sure it's not ruling your bargain

Indeed and 1t u.s." says the young
fellow. says he. "ruing IT sorely."
"All right" says the Bodach. says
he. 'Get up out of this and come along
with me in double quick time" and he
got him by the scruff of the neck and
he hauled him with him. And he tied
him to the tail of the cart, and flogged
him through the nine towns, till the
poor young fellow was spectacle of
cuts and bruises, and the last breath
only was in his body. And then the
dirty Bodach loosed him from the cart
and left him lying there In the ditch
AS soon as he was able he starts
for home, dragging his legs after him,
and when he reached home it's the
grieved man and the angry one was his
father, and he swore that he would
never sleep two nights in one bed or
eat two meals at the one table till he
would reach that Bodach and have his
revenge. So, leaving his wee house
and wee place in charge of the son.
Crohoore spnt on his stick and started
off afore him. and he never stopped
nor stayed till he came to the Bodach's
place of Glenmoran. And passing
through Glenmoran, who should he
meet but the Bodach himself, and the
Bodach stopped him. and sked where
for.
II am going" says Crohoore, says
he, ITO push my fortune, and am lock-
ing for likely MASTER"
Well. surely" says the Bodach, says
he, that's lucky, for I'm looking for
a likely man. Will you hire with me?"
Whats your terms?" says Crohoore,

I soon saw that it was impossible for
me to linger in the dominions Of his

at loss to know how to fill in my

The man could bear no more. He

"VHERE was a man once, named
Crohoore, that lived next bog
by a high mountain, and he had
one son that was as the apple
of his eye to him. A brave boy
the son was when he grew up. and
nothing would do him but he wouid
go away to push his fortune. When
he was going off, Crohoore warned him
on the peril of his life not to hire
with the Bodach Of Glenmoran, Tor
though he offered big wages to entice
men into his power, he always man
aged to make the man hired with him
rue the day. The lad when he was
going off promised to mind this. but
on his way through Glenmornn who
should he met but the Bodach himself.
and the Bodach asked where he was
going and what ne was looking for.
II am going" says the young fellow.
says he. ito push my fortune, am
looking for Il good master"
THAT is lucky" says the Bodach,
says he. "for am looking for good
man. Will YOU hi, with me?"
NO" says the young fellow, II will
not hire with you, because my father
warned me against you. and said 1t
would be worse for me IL did, for that
you were very bad entirely to your
boys"
The Bodach said: II will engage you
for year and day, and give you
a gold guinea every day of them, pro-
vided," says he, that you do every
thing you are bid, and that you will
never say you rued the day you hired
with me; and" says the Bodach. "(for
] like to be JUST l will engage for my
part that If ever say ! rue the day
! hired you. your wages will be dou-
bled, and, moreover, should either OF
us be guilty of ruling the day, the other
will have leave to draw him at a cart
tail and fog him through the nine
towns"
Well, these looked grand wages en-
tirely to Crohoore's poor son, and,
thinking of the rich man he would go
back home, he couldn't help but agree
to them, and away home with the Boz
dach he went.
The very next day, when the young
fellow got his breakfast. the Dsdach
took him out and sent him WITH q plow
and pair of horse, into a park that

house every day begging, and he car
ricd terrible knife with him. and
everybody was afraid to refuse him for
fear of the same.
And the Bodach said to himself. that
he would order Crohoorc next day to
kill the beggar, for that he hadphim
and the whole countryside annoyed.
"Then," says the Bodnch, says he,
"Crohoore's life will be at my mercy
in no less than three different ways
If he doesn't 10 my bidding, then can
do what I like with him; IL he doeG
my bidding and the bcggar kills him
then my hands wills be saved of hia
blood. but II he gets the better of the
beggar and kills the beggar, then
will have him tried and hung for MUIR
der" And for once in his life the Boz
dach was jumping for joy.
The next morning when Crohoord
had his breakfast he come to the Bo-
dach and asked what was for him to
do the day.
Why" says the Bodach, "there IS
only one little thing It is only" says
he, BILLY the Beggar who comes hero
every day, and who has annoyed me,
and I want you to kill him"
Very well and good" says Crohoore.
And then the Bodach went away about
his business, and, when he come back
in the evening and met Crohoore bhe
asked him how he had enjoyed HIM
self. and did he kill Billy the Bcggar.
II never had as good a days fun in
my life" says Crohoore, says he, and
l began by killing Billy the Begsar."
Indeed" says the master, "and how
did you do ito"
VERY easy" says Crohoore. says he
"When he came TO the door begging, I
took him in, and filled his bag with
all the gold and silver you had in
your chest, and put 1t on his back,
and sent him away Billy the Gentle
man. Billy the Beggar is as dead as
door-post, and will never trouble you
more"
And when the Bodach heard this he
set up whillaloo. and, ''Oh, you are
an etarnal scoundrel," says he, "all the
harm ever you done me afore was
nothing at all, at all, to this. You have
ruined me out and out" says he. and
it's meself's the beggar for the rest OK
my days"
What, what" says Crohoore, says
he, sure you are not vexed with mo.
and don't rue your bargain"
''Vexed!" says the Bodach, says he.
TITS mad ! am, and rue the day ever
my eyes first seen ye, We villain we.
and wish l was rid Of we never to see
We more"
well, we'll and good" says Crohoore.
says he; come out here till tie ye to
the cart tail" And out he had to go,
and Crohoore tied him to the cart-tail.
and whipped and logged him through
the nine towns; and tell we every time
Crohoore put the whip down on him
he brought 1t down with vengeance.
and he made the Bodach jump and
screech as he whaled, and wlacked, and
fayed, and logged him, through town
after town, and give him two cuts for
every cut the Bodach had given his
son. And after he stopped he made
the Bodach promise that he would
never act the same way again toward
any poor, strange boy who would come
looking to him for service, but that he
would treat him as IL he was his own
son.

The Bodach repeated the terms he

The Bodach repeated the terms he
had told the boy.
Well and good, the bargain was con-
cluded, and the master took Crolioore
home with him.
Next day, after Crohoore had his
breakfast, the Bodacii takes him out
and shows him great big mountain
with 500 head Of cattle on 1t, that were
tearing and running east and west to
get off 1t, and says he to Crohoore:
your duty the day is to herd that
mountain. and as long as there will be
one head Of the 500 missing on it you
are not to come in to your dinner nor
your dinner to come out to you"
Very we'll and good" says Crohoorc,
says he. and he went off to the noun
tain whistling like skylark and the
cattle was that wild that they were
running away, disappearing off the
mountain at all quarters. and the Boz
dach went about his business
Drawing on night the Bodach come
to the mountain to Crohoore, and he
couldn't see the sign Of q beast on 1t,
let alone 500. And says he to crohoore
in a rage: Where" says he, lis my
500 bcasts?'
II suppose" says Crohoore. says he,
they are wherever pleases them best.
How do you expect me to know where
your 500 beasts are?"
what did send you out here the day
to do?'
Eye sent me out" says crohoore,
says he, ito herd this mountain; and
think" says he, yell give in that I
have done my duty very we'll indeed,
for there's the mountain safe and
sound and on the same spot still I
don't want to boast much of myself.
says Crohoore, says he, but still will
say that IL you had hired a Stacker
man than me you'd have lost your
mountain this day, for five times, no
less, 1t started off.
"And knowing" says Crohoore, says
he. that If left it to go home for my
bite of dinner, the devil himself
wouldn't overtake It when would get
back. / got your black BULL" says he,
"in the hollow below. and killed him
and roasted a side OF him. and / can
stay out here herding your mountain
for three weeks to come and not want
for good sweet meat"
Och. och, OCH" says the Bodach
says he, you are a terrible scoundrel
to let my 500 cattle go east and west
and get lost over the face OF the world,
and to kill my black BULL" says he,
that ! paid 800 gusneas for not three
weeks ago." And he went tearing up
and down like raving mailman.
what! What" says crohoore. says
he, you're surely not vexed with me
and don't rue your bargain?"
And with that the Bodach minded
himself and says he: "Oh, no. no. that's
way have when ] be jumping with
joy. Such boy as you" says he, II
never had afore. and such boy, I am
sure, will never have again."
The Bodach ne didn't go to bed that
night at all. He wandered. about and
up and down the whole night planning
what he could do at all. at all. to get
rid OF Crohoore. and at long and at last
he struck upon a grand plan, as he
thought. There was big. wild beggar
man that they called Billy the Bcggar,
who used to come about the Bodach's
