Druggists an5 Liquor.

The News has been asked bv a
subscriber to define the privileges of
druggists in the sale of liquor in drv
counties, and whether they have the
right to sell, and under what condi-
tons
In reply the News would say that
it has consulted Col. S. j. Hilburn,
and that gentleman gives it as his
opinion that druggist has no right
to sell liquor. The law makes no
provision for its sale by druggists.

What State Editors are Saying
Remedy in XasrancY Law

The fields are white with cotton
up in Georgia and the farmers are in
despair because of the shortage OF
labor to pick it. They go to the
towns and offer the negroes fancy
prices, double pay, to go back TO the
fields with them but to no effect
Doubtless like conditions prevail all
over the cotton belt, and yet we
have excellent vagrant laws design
ed to meet just such a state of affairs.
There is plenty of labor in the South
to pick the cotton crop. but it is loaf
ing around the dives in the towns,
playing pool, shooting craps, drink
ing blind tiger whisky and living on
the white mans kitchen through the
INTERPRETATION of the negro cook.
And this evil will grow worse from
year to year until the vagrant law
ceases to be dead letter, and is riti-
lessly executed all over the South

Hon. John n. G. Stockton made a
prohibition address in jacksonville
one night during the past week, thus
securing at least temporary advant-
age in the politics of the city for his
political faction. Now if the chief
priests of the Taliaferro faction will
get hump on themselves and learn
to pronounce it "the ac-CUR-SFD
rum traffic" and begin buying bat
tied water charged with wind in lieu
of their accustomed ardent spirits,
there will be good reason for hope
that even Jacksonville will go dry.

A Poor Farm Suggestion

| Why should so many of us accent

alone can save money by running a
farm for the maintenance of its pau

counties could maintain an orange
grove, but why should not a reason
able mind accommodate a general
plan to particular conditions? We
have a group of counties whose eli
mate and soil admit of such a Has

fruits pay as well as big ones; gar
denlng is remunerative occupation
and there are many little industries
that might be parsued within doors.

question of management purely and
simply. If poor farm under good

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulfills every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
1t corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. 1t stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

AUDITORIUM-For another week the
stage of the Auditorium will be occupied
as 1t has been for week past by that
big spectacle, "The Sign of the Cross"
which has been generally hailed as the
greatest religious play of the decade.
The magnihcence of its presentation by
the Ferris stock company has amazed
even the followers of the big things that
organization has hitherto offered here,
and 1t was a certainty the opening night
that 1t would last at least fortnight.
Even longer run was anticipated, but
the inexorable nature of plans already
made prevent further presentation.
"The Sign of the Cross makes strong
appeal both to the habitual theatergoer
and to the Ierson who almost never en-
ters the doors of a playhouse. To the
former .. comes as most perfect pre-
sentation of a thrilling and stirring play,
full of strong situations, clever drama
tics and telling lines; to the latter, ittis
living realization of his visions of the
past, of the early days of the church,
when persecution tested faith, and
triumph was achieved in death.
In this respect it is a sequel to the
Holy City, and all who were so moved
by that drama must find their souls STIR
red by this continuance Of the gospel
story into the later days. chorus of
fifty, quartct of soloists, an augmented
orchestra ard $50 players interpret the
story. Florence Stone continues as Mer-
cia. Joseph Kilgour as Marcus Superbus,
Florence Barker as Stephanus and Flea
nor Montell as Berenis.
BELASCO-"Secret Service" one Of
the most successful plays Gillette ever
wrote, will be the attraction at this house
for the week beginning tomorrow night.
The story familiar here through fire.
quent preser tation. has to do with in
cidents connected with the Civil War.
The cast will include Lewis s. Stone,
Harry Glazier and other players of the
Belasco company, and the piece will be
staged With that care and attention to
detail which ordinarily marks produc-
! ton at the Belasco.
BURBANK-A revival of Martha
| Morton's delightful romantic comedy
"A Bachelors Romance" is billed for
the week beginning with matinee
this afternoon at the Burbank theater.
The case will include Byron Beasley,
who will be seen as David Holmes, the
literary critic of the Review; Harry
Mestayer as Gerald Holmes. John Bur-

In addition to ''Zira" Miss Roberts will
present here for the first time on any
stage a new society comedy by Geral-
dine Bonner and Elmer B. Harris. The
play has been entitled sham and Will
have its premier December 26.
MASON-Henry Woodruff star of
Brown of Harvard which. by the way,
preceded and was"the model for several
highly advertised attractions supposedly
based on life at Yale Columbia and other
universities and colleges. will bring that
play to the Mason opera house tomorrow
night, for a three nights stay. spe-
cial matinee viii be given on Wednesday.
Brown of Harvard" produced by that
master stage craftsman. Henry Miller,
was the first college play to be presented
at a Broadway theater in New York.
With Mr. Woodruff in the role he will
play mere. 1t had its first performance
at the Princess theater in the metropolis,
and so great did its popularity prove
that it remained there for thirty weeks.
This run was followed by an all summer
