was short handed, and young Crawford
had taken his turn at the watch with

weeks of nerve wracking experience,
they managed to reach Bermuda. As
Crawford was the only one aboard who
could speak English, the Captain asked

The Florida Times Union reproduces
this optimistic letter from CORE
spondent of the New York World, who
signs himself Observer"
While the ponderous protege of the
proclamationist is golfing at Hot
Springs and the World is lettering
on the springboard preparing to jump
on the band wagon, let me make you a
prediction which / hope you will paste
over your desk for future reference.
Bryan will carry five New England
states and get a bigger vote in Yer
mont than any Democratic candidate
since God knows when. In all my
thirty-five years in politics have new
er seen such an uprising in New Eng
land except perhaps that of 1896. If
the vote could be taken in August Taft
would not carry a single village or
city where there is any manufacturing
carried on. Cut wages, no wages and
the enhanced cost of living are teach
ing the people. This may seem like
hot air to you, but wait and see.
The elections in Maine and Vermont
next month will furnish an Indication
of New England's change or lack of
change of heart and they will be-
awaited with great interest by Re
publicans and Democrats alike.
The writer of the above letter may
know what he is talking about or he
may simply be carried away by en-
thusiasm. If the Democrats carry one
New England state Mr.. Bryan will be
elected and he will probably be elected
even il every New England electoral
vote goes to Taft.

NEGLIGENT
Few Of Them Have Complied With
the Federal Liquor Laws
| in This State.

jackson, Miss, August 15.--Accord-
ing to the official publications Of lists
of holders of federal liquor licenses in
the various counties, 1t is apparent.
that many druggists have allowed
their licenses to expire without hav-
ing renewed them, piece Of informa-
ton that would never have leaked out
but for the new law requiring this pub
location to be made.
The federal laws require that all
druggists handling alcohol in their
prescription work shall first procure
such licenses, and it has come as a
surprise to many that large number
of druggists now have no license in
force.
| While the new state law, which,
however. is not effective until the first
Of next January. makes provision for
the handling Of alcohol by the drug
gists as heretofore. no such provision
! is in the old law which is now in oper-
alton, and the fact that thep resent
statutes make the mere possession Of
government liquor license presump-
tive evidence Of guilt for keeping
liquor for sale, has caused some un-
easiness on the part Of some Of the
druggists.
While it is not believed that case
founded upon the following Of the
strict letter Of the law referred to
could be sustained before any jury, II
indeed it would stand the test Of the
courts afterward. still it is situation
calculated to make conscientious drug
gists feel little uneasiness.
