Eatonton, Ga, Sept. 16.-The trial

years, respectively, sons of a promi-
nent planter charged with the murder
Of Robert F. Adams, who was shot
from ambush on his farm last June,

feud, and in many respects parallels
the notorious Rawlings case. Of a
hundred talesmen examined today, six

The trial is attracting interest in

section Of the State, where the Adams
family is among the oldest residents.
The trouble originated nve years ago,

ARGUMENT

to reason honestly and fearlessly with
this great question which is being laid
before you. Understand, l would have
no man vote against his own convic-
tions, but every fair-minded man
should be open to conviction, and
ready to listen to any logical argu-
ment which may be put forth.
Bankers Reason.
Il am going to base my talk to-
night on a statement made by prom
inent banker of your city Monday af-
ternoon. He said he did not see how
he could vote for prohibition. l asked
him his reason, and he said that dur
ing that very day liquor men of the
city had placed deposits aggregating
$4,000 in mis- bank. That sum repre-
scented the money taken in during Sat
urday in the saloons that patronized
this mans bank. There are five banks
in Pensacola, but | cannot say what
sum the other banks took in on that
day. l will confine my talk to this
$4,000 taken by this one bank. Of
course, the banker could not favor pro-
hibit;on, because he thought he was
getting a good thing out of the liquor
men, but let's reason a little. Where
did that $4,000 come from? Where did
the liquor dealers of this town get
that $4,000? Where was it made, and
who made it?
The Baymen.
Il can see a strong bayman, whose
steady nerve and strong muscle had
rOWed his boat over to the shore from
the big vessels in the harbor, march
ing straight as an arrow to the liquor
dealers and spending a large percent
age of his days pay in the purchase
of the vile liquor kept for his trade
can see a fisherman, poor but clean
and honest, coming to the barrOom
and putting his hard earned dollars
into the treasury of the liquor dealer.
can go the other way and see a
turpentine worker. earning but a pit
lance, coming into the city and spend
ing his all in the purchase of a poor
grade of liquor.
Working Men.
THE heart of the honest working
man is right, eternany right, but in
spite of the evil which you know it
is causing you and your class, you al
low the saloon to remain. Ninety per
cent of the money given to the banks
by the liquor men comes out of the
hard earnings of the honest, fearless
working man. l can go any day to
your homes and see the scenes of des-
olation which your intemperance is
causing. Such homes is where the
saloon mems money comes from;
such homes is where the banker gets
his money through the saloon
Stop moment, and think what the
liquor business is doing for you and
your city. The very class of men who
maintain the saloon are the very class
who are the least able to spare the
money to keep the liquor dealer in
business. Hasn't the time come when
you labcring men. who have built up
the city. brick by brick, should lay up
store for old age and incompe
tency? Just think that out of that $1O,-

the Armory, when the new professional
team will be pitted against the East
Boston team, composed of such crack
players as Corbett, Segrue, and
Doherty as forwards, Desmond at

under the watchful eye of William Gill
the boys can be relied upon to give
splendid account of themselves.
The long runs on the muddy roads,
hill climbing and work in the Armory
have done the boys lot of good and
before the week is over they should be
able to play the game oftheir lives, asfar
as condition is concerned, although they
may be little shy on team work for
