The following letter has been re
ceived from a we'll known resident OF
Century, and is self explanatory:
Century, Fla, Sept. Is, 1907.
Dear Friends:
have repeatedly been asked my
views on the prohibition question and
my vote by both sides and as l have
given the matter some careful thought
will say that at heart L am for
prohibition or rather for complete
abolition of alcoholic drinks. / truly
believe that it's improper use has been,
is now and will always be the leading
instrument in the hands OF the devil
for the ruin of mems souls and the
cause of more crime and poverty and
suffering than any other one thing
and l would gladly lend my aid to
stop the manufacture Of 1t. Still In
this effort to vote Escambia county
dry 1 have made up my mind to vote
on the side of the vets for the follow
ing reasons: 1t is and has been for
years in the power of the people of
Pensacola to get rid of one or all of
the bar rooms in Pensacola simply
by saying no to petition instead OF
saying yes. One word requires no
more time than the other, but the
people of Pensacola live under the same
constitution as do the people of Cen
fury, equal rights to all and special
faVors to none, a government by the
people, for the people and of the
people and the minority must yield to
the majority. So figuring out the
proposition as it presents itself to me,
the four precincts of the city of Pen
sacola are the only four out of twenty
two in the country that have bar
rooms and a majority of those people
have said by their signatures that they
wanted bar rooms and have said to
the world: IF you desire to go into
the whis31ey traffic come to the city
of Pensacola: we will sell you a lot
lumber and brick and We will give you
a license to sell liquor" Upon this
proposition men have come to your
city, invested their money-with Just
as much assurance of protection as
the people who bought lots and builded
a church, but all of a sudden some
one starts the prohibition movement
L am told he was not a PenSacolian
and had not said to the bar room men
he was willing to give them license.
No, he did not live there but resided
in Georgia. Now We find that this
man has been successful in working
up large sentiment to get rid of the
bar rooms and in all their references
to that side of the question they, as
a rule, say "whiskey men," l want
to say just here this is unfair to say
that not all the men who will vote
with the vets are whiskeY men. Il
for one do not touch whiskey nor do
! ever expect TO DO so as a beverage.
l shall cast my vote on that side
simply because l do not believe il
right in the sight of men nor God to
use people in such a spirit in the face,
of the opportunities the people of Pen.
sacola have had to say. NO, you shall
not sell it." but have said, Yes, you
may sell it," and then turn on them
and say you shall not sell it." and
employ all the outside help they can
get to defeat the wishes of a major
ity of the people of Pensacola. 1t

ored, and the news of his appointment
was received by the other members

looks to me too much like confscatine
peoples property and their rights
Let the people of Pensacola decide
the question. They are the ones thai
ARE either blessed or cursed and lei
them, if they are fair-minded people
give the men who have their money
| invested in whiskey twelve months tC
get out Of the business or else buy
| their stuff, take it all down to the
end of Palafox wharf and dump it in
the bay Do not take snap judgment
on any man, no not on one who is
charged directly with murder, give
him a chance to establish his rights
and then act.
| do not believe in lynch law and
in the second place I do not believe
the act of prohibition will accom- lish
the end sought. If you vote out bar
rooms in Pensacola you deprive some
of convenient opportunities to get Il
drink if they want it openly-but n
they have money they can and Will
get IL from other places. Thu only
sure way is to dig it out by the roots
and stop the manufacturing of il.
Now for an Illustration. The peCpi',
of Century have no bar looms, nor Co
l believe that any living man cou:i
get a petition signed to allow one here.
Still there are plenty CT men here
both white and black who drink and
| will venture the assertion that, IN
money valuation there is more
whiskey brought here by express in
each month of the year than any other
article of value. If you don't believe
it get the express books and look up
the matter At present Pensacola
people get the most Of the orders;
Mobile gets a little. Selma is watch
ing Pensacola and is hoping Pensacola
will go dry and hopes in thu near
future to capture part. Of the prizes
that Pensacola men now enjoy and II
the county goes dry they may be re-
warded.
See Enclosed confidential advertise
ment sent me. / nevTr got one before
this agitation and I do not need this
one. So you see the way to get rid
Of whiskey is to stop the manufacture
of it. Let's put everybody in the
same boot and do everybody good at
one stroke. Begin with the congress
of the United States and come down.
Now in conclusion will say that 1
do not want nor mean TO get into the
for popularity nor do ex-
pect to have anything more to say on
the subject I am not going to buy
any whiskey, I am not going to sell
any whiskey and l am not going to
allow myself deceived to believe am
going to do good and accomplish
much for Christ when 1 am not. l
shall try to raise my boys not t.
drink whislzey nor get drunk; 1 shall
teach my girls to allow no young man
to have the pleasure Of her company
who gets drunk if she knows
it apd if she does not know him not to
let him go with her. If | come across
a man drunk l shall do all l can to
get him not to repeat it. l will go to
a bar room to find this kind; l do
not expect to find them in church. l
will try and do to others as 1 would
have them do unto me but I will al
ways acceed to every man his Just
dues and rights.
am not expecting any Political
office nor do l want one. What |
have said is the true sentiment Ct my
heart as | see the situation.
Yours truly,
JNO. BEASLEY.
