SHOOTING AT ORANGE LAKE

Last Saturday night Mr.. S. S.
Bennington and his brother, S. P. Bow
ingtOn. with a negro man in company
with them, were going from Mr.. S. S.
Bowington's store at Orange Lake to
their home about a mile away and
were waylaid by several negroes. The
negroes. without any word of warning,
Immediately began firing at the par
ty. Mr.. S. S. Bennington was shot in
the face with a charge from a shotgun
loaded with No. shot and his broth
er was shot in the arm. The negro
man with them was also shot several
times and badly injured. The injured
men finally reached their home, only
a short distance away from where
the shooting took place. While the
wounds are very painful none of the
men are dangerously injured. Deputy
Hutson was notified and Immediately
got on a hot trail and yesterday had
succeeded in landing five of the ne
grOes in jail. One Of the negroes was
badly injured in the leg by a shot fir
ed by one of the BOwingtOns. Mr.. S.
S. Bennington came in Monday, accom-
panied by his wife and her sister and
are stopping with Mrs. Bennington s
brother and wife. Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.

the cause for the shooting, but it is
supposed that the men intended to rob
the BOwingtOns.

We let all the printers off for a day
Thursday to celebrate" and at this
late hour they haven't returned to

away from home long enough to write
copy, let alone to set it up, we will
have to ask you to forgive our short
comings this week. All of you that

is beautiful will bear with us, and
the others will have to. The editor is
happy, and the mother and baby are

THAT MAINE STORY REFUTEO
A Letter From Maine


To the Editor of the Metropolis:
l have received the following letter
from Portland, Me:
ALLAN Rodgers, Jacksonville, Fla:
Dear Sir-I am sending you by
mail a magazine with an article which
gives in substance my views on the
question. also enclose clippings
from a campaign pamphlet which We
used in our late campaign.
q would advise you to secure the
first volume of the committee Of fiji
tvs report on the liquor problem
You cannot Iegislate temperance
into a man any more than you can leg
islate appetite out of him, The only
successful temperance work ever done
has been by persuading men of the
evil and folly of oyerindulgence. The
present movement for prohibition Is
one of wholly of sentiment, and is not
based on good results Of prohibition,
for there are none in any of the larger
places.
Maine is getting ready to abandon
her law as there other states are
starting in to adopt it. Prohibition is
first of all an impossibility. Very few
want prohibition for themselves; it is
always for someone else.
'Tntemperance is on the increase in
Maine without a doubt. Our court re
cords prove it. Any one attacking the
prohibition idea here or elsewhere,
lays himself open to all sorts Of abuse
from politicians. and many church
people. though the most intelligent Of
our cIergymen are not prOhibitionists.
q will try to send You material
when I can. My stenOgrapher is i'll or
could send you certain facts in this
letter Yours truly.
"W. n. PENNELL. Sheriff"
There are two other things which
every unpreJudlced MIND ShOulu con-
slider in connection with the fifty
years trial of prohibition in Maine.
The first is. that the law itself has
been amended sixty times since it was
placed upon the statute books; Sec
Ond, the last legislature repealed the
law, but the governor vetoed the act.
Sheriff Pencil, as a democrat, ran
on a ticket aopOsed to prohibition, and
won in the banner republican county
| Of the state.
This evidence alone from a state
which has given this question a fifty
years trial ought to convince any rea-
sonable man in the state OF Florida
that prohibition does not prohibit.

kins, Rev. Herbert \. Jump and Rev.
Henry Blanchard as the men Of the
cloth" whose sympathies are with him
in this matter No one questions the
intelligence of these men, but the
great body of the church in Maine is
as firmly opposed 10 the liquor traffic
as is the church in Florida. This is
shown by the fact that every religious
gathering. of practically all the
churches represented in Maine, have
declared their OPPOSITION 10 the saloon.
in resolutions of great strength, I'M
mistakable in their tenor.
Mr.. Pennelrs statement that you
cannot legislate temperance into a
man" is one of the stock arguments
Of the whiskey crowd, and by its fire.
quent reiteratiOn one gets the impress
sion that it is regarded as a very
strong point in their favor Granting
the truth of the statement, for the
sake of the argument, il is also true
that you can legislate intemperance
into men by putting the protecting
arm of the law about the institutions
whose business it is to manufacture
drunkards.
Sheriff Pennell does not appear 20
be directly responsible for the state
ment that the legislature of Maine re-
pealed its prOhibitOry law, but that
the governor vetoed the repeal The
statement is. however. of a piece with
the campaign of misrepresentation
which is carried on about Maine in tn
interest Of the liquor traffic. No such
statement would be made where the
facts were known, or where il was
supposed that the facts could be OBJ
tanned. Florida people will know ex-
actly how untrue the statement is
when they understand that prohibition
is a constitutional provision and the
law cannot be repealed by the leg:sla-
ture.
The fight against the liquor traffic
is country wide in its proportions. The
liquor interests have taken alarm a.
the spread Of the sentiment against
them, and the campaign Of misrepre-
sentatiOn and sOphistical argument is
to be expected from this time forth.
Most Of the things urged against
Maine, like the statement Of the Della
ware newspaper writer that the men
Of the state are "imbeciles" and its
women prostitutes. are false, mali
ciOus, wicked libels upon a good peo-
pie. Even the sheriff descends to
state that very few want prohibition
for themselves; it is always for some
one else" In Maine the chief inter
est in the letter which we reproduce
is the proof that the sheriff is still en-
gagged in the cause of the whfskey
traffic. In Florida this fact alone
should be enough to Offset the value
Of his influence there.-Portland
(Maine) Express.
