INCORRECT,
Mr.. NC Nance
Is So Proved by Facts No
torious in County of
Jackson.


The following letter from Mr.. j. d.
Smith, merchant and banker of Mari
anna, was received yesterday by a
resident of Pensacola:
Mariana, Fla, Sept. 81, 1907.
l see Mr.. McNamee has much to
say about jackson county in his
speech. There is no such thing as
crime having increased on account OF
the Saloons being driven from Mari
anna. AS Mr. Kehoe said, the county
has employed an attorney to push
these cases, aud there has been a
greater effort to punish crime since
the county went Dry.
l see Mr.. McNamee makes a great
display over seven cases OF illicit
distilling coming from Jackson coun-
ty l don't know if this be true or not,
but I do know there is greater de-
termination on the part OF her citi-
zens to break up these stills since the
county went Dry. This is large
county and it is natural that these
things exist awhile, but the people
are after them, and when whiskey
was sold here the people were discour-
aged, the illicit distilling was carried
on almost unnoticed. They had things
their way.
1 have in the Wet days run over
these stills myself in many instances
| while out hunting. They were thick.
1 never see one these days
OF course, we all know there are
some people will make some whiskey
and some people will drink some
| whiskey, sometimes but with bar
! rooms all people can drink all the
| whiskey all the time.
| y You can't get six men of respect
ability in Mariana to consent for
open saloons to come here. The
| buildings put up in the business part
of the town since we went Dry, cost
/ two or three times as much as all the
rest of the business part of town to-
gether in the Saloon days. l con-
structed stores then for 5000 rent per
year and the other day refused $3.50
for the same store. The Saloons
were in Mariana and not in the
country.
/ don't see why Mr. McNamee did
not give the records of the mayor S
court right here where whiskey was
sold.I In the face of increased popu-
lation and lots of it negroes, coming
for laborers in turpentine and other
I occupations, We find that cases in this
court have decreased Sober cent, and
more foreigners have been in this
town, building public and private
buildings, than were before by a big
majority. 1 was chairman of the Jack
son County Prohibition Committee
and know all about these Saloon men s
arguments, but the best men they had
on their side here had excuses to be
taway from the polls on election day
A. fellow feels bad to vote a Wet
ticket l don't know of a habitual
white drunkard in Jackson county who
did not take a part and vote for thc
Dry side, admitting their inability to
resist the hold the habit had on them
wish l could do you some good
but feel like the good people of your
town know there is no question OF
dollars and cents, or anything more
! than a duty to stand for, right against
wrong; and if a good man knows ii
will even injure the town financially
/ can't see how he can, under any cir
cumstances, allow himself to vote for
/ Saloons
Hoping you may win, l remain

They say that there is not less
crime without the Influence Of the Sa,
Icon. That is all bosh. The saloon
is the breeding place of one-haif OF
the crime of this country.
why do the Saloons have TO pay
higher license than the other bust
ness institutions IF your city? Sim
PLY because the people know they are
not right. These sin-breeding, crime
producing places are blight to every
other business in the city and every
busiae3s man knows it.
They say Prohibition doesn't pro-
hibit. Well. no legislature, congress
or law making body of men ever en-
acted a single perfect law anywhere
Humanity has never reached that de-
gree of perfection, and never will
The interstate commerce law of last
year is a striking example of that
fact. That the Prohibition wave is
gathering momentum, and that every
inch of it is progress, is shown by
the bills now before congress, and
which will be passed at the next term
Among the most important of these
bills are those requiring the collector
Of internal revenue to give evidence In
