ONLY the big crops have prevented
wide spread panic throughout this
country. With good farm crops, a
panic is well nigh impossible, try
never so hard on Wall Street. But
the South, always slow TO feel disas-
ter as we'll as prosperity waves, while
not suffering in its banking system
has felt depression even with the best
OF crops. She has been sadly mill
tated against by the general govern
ment, northern bankers aud the
railroads. Neither the government
nor hnanciers would lend her any
part OF the government distribution
or OF the arrival of gold from foreign
parts. All has been appropriated
north, little, only, reaching the
west. Notwithstanding this the
banks OF the south have remained
hrm and confidence and conditions
here have passed through but little
furry. As with the west, our crops
have been good, exceedingly good;
but tightness in buying markets has
cIused fall in prices of our products.
and, worst of all, the railroads lave
been unable to move the stuff. Not
onlyin the West has there been a car
famine, but all throughout the
South. An illustration of this is
given by Senator Keezell, of the Shen-
aadoah Valley, whose large bay
crop, already baled, has been for
months awaiting transportation to
market At his little station alone
an order for IT'S cars to load farm
products upon has been in for weeks,
aud with no near prospects of their
arrival. Thus the big crops of our
farmers my wilmer away into small
market returns.

TEMPERANCE NOTES

Alabama liquor dealers managed ~
prevent local option from taking hold
OF the State, but the Indignation of the
people grew in leaps, and last week her
legislature declared for prohibition laws
throughout the State. The papers Of
Richmond are warning saloon keeners
not to violate the laws or throw obsta-
eles IN the way of local option, or probi-
oition may likewise fall upon Virginia
An anti-treating and anti-credit hill
VIII be introduced at the coming session
OF the legislature by W. E. Barrett
representative of Newport News. Mr.
barrett has stated that the measure II
enactodainto law, will prohibit a person
treating another and also make il I'M
lawful for the keeper of bar to credit
customer. Friends of the measure
believe it will prove halfway stan
between the radical liquor Legislation
now sweeping over the Southern States
and the condition which now exists.
In lengthy address with some
strong points in it) to the people of
richmond, answering anti-saloon at
tacks, the Liquor Dealers Association
OF that city delivers itself of this ra-
markable clause: ''We regret to see
that politics are being so mixed with
the church, but it does seem that sucb
is the case. The liquor dealers have
always been and are now a God-fear-
ing and law-abiding people: MANY of
them are worthy members of churches.
and certainly all of them have the high
est regard for religion and the welfare
OF the community"
The wisdom of the local option svs-
tenn, which has obtained in Virginia
Tor some time, is very clearly demon
strated by the trouble now prevalent
IN Alabama, where q State prohibition
law has just been adopted. The senti-
ment in the city of Mobile, which has
established one of the finest public
school systems in the country bv usinp
the proceeds derived from LIQUOR license
Is violently opposed to prohibition in
that city, and would undoubtedly if sub
united to vote of the people ego wet. ,,
and yet under the general State law
licensed saloons must close their doors.
lndeed Mobile is so deeply incensed at
the necessity of closing her saloons
without having the right to be heard
upon the question, that she threatens
to secede from the State. This is an
unfortunate condition, and impresses
one with the Importance of preserving
the Democratic principle of local self
government. Free Lance.
