TEST OF LIQUOR LAW.
SALOON INTERESTS INs PENSACOLA
 WILL APPEAL THE CASE.
Do Not Believe That City Has Author- ity in Charter to Regulate sa- IOons-Negro Indicted for
 Alleged Fraud.

Pensacola. Fla, May 19-(Special)- The famous g o'clock city closing law, which has been strictly enforced in Pensocal since last october, and which has been frequently attacked by the saloon interests. is to be given test in the Supreme Court of Florida. Bar ney Thomas, a negro. who was convict ed in the Recorders Court for violat- ing the law, was fined $50 and costs, and appealed his case to the State court. the man being in the employ of A prominent saloon owner.
 Recently the State court upheld the constitutionality of the city law, stat ing in its opinion that the city has ample power to regulate saloons as to their closing hours. and that the Leg isiature, in granting charter, con- ferred such powers The saloon inter- ests of the city then grasped the op- portunity of making test case. being advised by a firm of prominent law yers that the city has no such powers after issuing a license as to compel the man paying the money for such to close his place of business at any hour, and as a result, this case will go to the Supreme Court for a decision.

sAHch fighting had been done and yet
he had not offered up his manhood
for the cause his sweetheart grew
impatient and asked him what kept
him at home. And he could not an,

that he was a coward save to him
self
Then as she importuned him to go
he weighed his chances If go, said
he, 1 may not see actual service, but
she cannot twit me with coWardice
I Will risk it for my souls peace.
And he enlisted. And for many
months fortune favored him and he
saw no active service. But yet his knees
shook daily when he thought of the
possibilities of the future
And at last ne was ordered into bat
tie, and because his moral cowardice
outweighed his physical fear and he
feared ridicule more than he feared
danger he exposed himself to the fire
of the enemy. And he was unharmed,
but his fellows said, he is a brave
man.
And his first battle was his last
also, for the war ended on that day
and he went home And the r2per-
and his comrades spoke of his bra
very, and his sweetheart accepted II
at his reputed valuation and they
were married
But his life was embittered, for he
hated hypocrisy and in his heart of
hearts he knew that he was still a
coward.
