LADIES GIVE REPLY
CHARGE OF REV. FORT
In Regard to Sensational
Statement.

Dublin, Ga, Dec 30.-The bridge
players of the city have made an an
swer to the recent statement by
Rev. Allen Fort, pastor of the First
Baptist church, to the effect that he
had been informed that one lady
threatened to slap another, that the
lie was passed and that intoxicants
were served.
The statement made by bridge
players follows:
THE bridge players of Dublin have
Investigated the charges made against
them by the Rev. Allen Fort in one
of his recent sermons and find that
some one has deliberately misrepres-
ented them The charges are abso-
lutely false"
The ladies of the city who play
bridge are very indignant They say
that Mr.. Forts informant had no
ground at all on which to base the
statement.
They are among the best people of
the city Many have all along felt
that there was some mistake some
where, which would be righted in
the end, or if there was any sem
blance of facts connected with the
charges they would be at least ex-
planned 1t developed that Mr.. Forts
informant was very much mistaken.

Henry James, loving Care.

Mr.. Henry James working methods
are thus described by his publishers:
"Mr. James dictates! He dictates
only the first draft, however, and he
does this slowly, and his secretary aft
erward puts the draft into typewrit-
ing, with unusually wide spaces be-
tween the lines. This typewriter
draft is then gone over by Mr.. James
with pen and ink with infinite care.
Every word is weighed, every thought
is pOndered. and he begins to elabO-
rate. to interpolate. to add new beau
ties. Slowly the fabric grows under
his loving care slowly the sentences
and phrases take on the final aspect
toward which he has been working.
and only when it is all to his satisfac-
tlon as an artistic literary workman
does he permit it to go out to the
world"
Yet there IS a story Of a man who
besought the author to explain the ex-
act meaning of a certain passage,
"whereupon Mr.. James responded,
with cool gravity, that if the passage
as It stood, which represented his care
ful and studied thought, did not ex-
plain itself to the mans mind he did
not deem It advisable or worth while
to enter into any verbal discussion Of
it."-New York Tribune.
Milford chronicle., 1908-01-10
Does Prohibition Prohibit ?

We use the question as it applies
to the trade in ardent spirits.
Some give a negative answer to
the question. But that kind Of an
answer usually comes from those
who are in sympathy with the
liquor business.
Let us, however, look into the
matter.
To prohibit the sale of strong
drink means to forbid its sale. That
is the plain English sense of this
whole question. Putting the ques-
ton in Anglo-Saxon, our mother
tongue, it is this: Does the act of
forbidding the sale of strong drink
forbid the sale of strong drink i?
That makes the question childish.
To those unaccustomed to their
study, words are often stumbling
blocks. 1t is so of the word from
the Latin that stands as the second
word in the question of this article.
But if it be borne in mind Just ex-
actly what prohibition signifies, it
will be understood that prohibition
of the sale of intoxicants does all
that is claimed for it. No sane
temperance man or woman has ever
contended that such prohibition al
together stops the selling of rum.
There is no law, either divine or
human, that prevents evil. For
any one to say that prohibition is
farce is for that one to display an
ignorance that is pitiable. His
laughter over the seeming joke is
the laughter of foolishness.
In the real meaning of the phrase, |
prohibition does prohibit. 1t makes
the sale of intoxicants unlawful. /
Those who engage in such a business
within prohibition territory are
criminals; whereas, under license,
such a business is protected by the
"pOwers that be. =" Prohibition pro-
hibits the open saloon. That is, it
forbids the open saloon. Thus does
temptation to indulge a fiery appe-
tite have its faring lights turned
out.
That under prohibition there will
be secret sales of liquor is a foregone
conclusion. But the prohibition is
not on that account, imperative.
AS well might one declare that the
Ten Commandments are nothing
more than a relic of ancient ltera-
.ure. Take all the thou-shalt-nots
If God out of human life, there is
no telling what the result would
De. This is a very sorry world with
hose prohibitory commandments e
n it. But what kind of world
would it be without them.
