RUMOR SAYS WAREHOUSES;
TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN CITIES OF DRY STATES
And That One Will Be Established
In Greenville, Where Wet Goods
Can Be Procured In Any Quantity
Desired

The Times has learned that a move
ment is on foot TO get around pro
hibit;on when the law goes into Ell
fest n xt January Just how far the
movement has advanced could not be
learned, but the scheme seems feast
BILE ons, and it is also said that the
prchibitionists have gotten on to the
movement and are preparing to put
up strong fight against the pro-
posed plan Of the VETS.
AS learned by tn Times, the
scheme is to establish warehouses III
different cities OF the state where
tn. wet goods will be stored. The
officers OF tie company will prob
ably be located in New York city,
or some other Eastern city When a
customer wants to slack his thirst
he writes to the New York offic :.
enclosing the money for the goods.
and in return lie receives a warehous
receipt for his package BY surrend
ering his receipt to TIE manag OF
the warehouse he receives his pack
age, and can go on his way rejoiciDs-
This scheme is said to be within
the requirements of the law and we
are told that it IS the opinion OF Sec
rotary Bonapartc that no liabilities
can be attacks to such procedure
as it is entirely in conformity with
the internal revenue laws. It's 4
great sd1eme all right, but there is
serious doubt i. it will b allowed to
go through, for the prohibitionists

Plenty Of Work on FERNS.

The productiveness OF the
United States in agriculture
is not keeping pace with the
growth Of our population. Meats
are dear because meat bearing
animals are falling behind the
population in relative numbers.
Labor is scarce on the farm, and
labor is dear on the farm because
the factory, the forest, the mine
and the railroad are taking away
the farmers workers through
wages fixed at rates which the
farmer cannot afford to pay.
The population Of the United
States is growing both by rea-
son OF the natural increase OF the
families domiciled in America
and by accretions through immi-
grations from abroad. But the
immigrants do not reach the
the farm. The farmers who do
come TO us from foreign coun-
tries do not find their way 70 the
farms Of this country; the immi-
grafton laws prevent American
farmers from going to foreign
countries and selecting there the
prospective immigrants whose
services could aid them.
AT no perird in our history
has the American farmer needed
help so much as he needs il this
year. There are said to he hun
dreds Of thousands Of idle men
in the United States. An OF
them could secure employment
on the farms employment az
