"a great many people are wondering
whether the state prohibition law in
Georgia will tend to diminish the sale
of liquor in that state" said whiskey
dealer when he was doing an extensive
business in the Cracker state.
Personally, I don't think it will help
things at all. from the temperance
standpoint, because happen to know
that right row a great many people
are figuring on laying in good supplies
of liquor They are still buying booze
over there and they will continue to
buy it.
mark my prediction, you will see all
kinds of wild cat establishments set
up over there and there won't be any
hour to regulate the opening and clos
ing of them OF course there won't be
any legal way of vending the intoxi-
eants. "a
The people te suffer in Georgia most
will be those who have invested their
fortunes in breweries and distilleries.
such as those could not be operated
illegally.
ITO nv mind, Alabamas law of local

hibition law, and I think If you VIII

Human nature" said a local mer-
chant Yesterday, us funny thing. 1t
is subject for limitiess discussion. 1t
has many ups and downs. and rounda-
bouts, and with It all. 1t is most fasci-
natingiy queer and Instructive.
The other day friend of mine told
me that everyone is martial at the
core. He explained his assertion by
stating that in such a way, and by
that way alone, could he account for
the universal awe and almost rever-
ence in which all soldiers are held. He
said that this fact accounted for the
crowded condition of the streets when
a company of soldiers was passing, and
for the hurrahs and plaudits OF the
admirers Of the boys on the field.
His explanation was q very good
one. but think that my solution is
better one. contend that everyone
is more or less curious and conceited.
When say conceited, I do not mean,
in the strict sense of the word, that
they themselves are the ones concern
ed. The situation, however, is an an :
alogous one, as applied in the sense
do.
at soldiers. The first reason Is be-
cause they look good in their uniforms.
Another reason Is that men imagine
! how they themselves would look In the
same military togs and why they
don't have them on.
Women like to look at soldiers be-
cause they present a manly appearance.
They love al; things manly, of course.
and war implies this quality. The gau-
dy Hastings of epaulets, the silken
and colored flag, the sharp and stern
command of offcers-all these enter
into the reasons we like soldiers. And
l., for one, am very well content TO ike
them, wearing the same element or
conceit and vanity.
But, to revert to my former state
ment, concerning human nature
doubt II anything or any number OF
conditions have ever impressed NAM
kind as has a company OF warriors,
a military pageant. Out yonder at
Pickett Springs, at the present time,
there is a body of cavalry that could
watch all of the day. Their manoeu-
vers are vitality interesting to me.
They are interesting to everybody.
y whether or not 1t Is sense OF
vanity that makes me want to be
cavalryman / do not know. But 1t is
a fact ali right, although will hardly
ever consent. In fact, / want to be
soldier all the time. If the infantry
men are passing my store-in their col
umns can be found my affections. Now
I'm a cavalryman--and until other
companies pass me by ! will still be
-worshipful and enthusiast

The measure in question is that AK

the Conecuh Sheriff last evening, that

starving the prisoners. The men were

The expenditure OF SIP by the city for
the seed represents the total outlay for
the magnificent grounds surrounding
the station building.
Under Captain Wilmot the firemen
graded and planted the lawn and
watched It so carefully that there Is
perhaps not better one In the city. In
front OF the building they planted a
flower bed, In the form Of Maltese
cross II Is tilled with foliage plants OF
many hues, and In the center there Is
a small century plant. Along the front
wall there is a row of gadioluses and
tuber0seS. solicited and received from
the horticultural department at Wash
lngton. On the south side of the lot is
hedge OF sweet peas, and on the same
side large bed OF pansies, the gift of
the Park Floral company. and another
bed Of gerunlums.
The most extraordinary and UNIQUE
features of the decorations are the
Hover stands devised by the men. For
one of these an inverted section OF
tree trunk. with the spreading limbs
serving for support was used ON top
OF this an oblong box was placed, COW
cred with decorative work made from
small twigS. There are six of these
boxes in various patterns, and each
one represents an endless amount of
work and patience. The material nee
eSSary for their construction was all
gathered In the alleys and vacant lots
OF the ueighborhood The completed
boxes, filed with dozens OF varieties
OF plants and trailing vines. are really
works of art. a single one containing
Seraniums Of many types. bluebells.

and small poppies

even more strange in their origin. In
the alleys near the station the tiremen
found two kitchen water tanks that
had been deserted by their owners.

rustic supports placed beneath them .
They were filled with earth and tlowers

their homely Identity and serve as
very attractive flower boxes. with long

their sides. Withal there Is much for
the men at the station to be proud OF.

men have toiled to such good purpose
that there is not private lawn in
