M GoLdring Gipes ViesUs
 On ALabana Prohibition

"A problem in the sphere of anyone's solving powers is this: Do you benefit by prohibition when liquors are gotten elsewhere and you, have to pay for taxes out of your own pocket which have been paid by liquor dealersf In vestigations prove that a decided in- crease of revenue has been placed on every line of business by the State- wide prohibition in Alabama. Whislx ey has many virtues. this is backed by many eminent physicians recommend ing 1t in treatment of disease. Laws nave made the liquor business as leeft- innate as any. and because one man is sun-struek by being exposed to tbe sun too long should the world be deprived of the sun7 No liquor dealer approves of excessive drinking. Unfortunately. the doings of one man is laid at the door of community by fanatics. Were not such the case this agitation would not exist"
 Mir. Goldring Is one of the pioneer mall order liquor dealers of the South. and has built a constantly growing business on giving everyone honest and fair dealing. Much pride Is taken on the promptness with which orders are filled. He. enjoys the reputation for being "the south's Quickest Shipper"

Goidrings visit was one of business, his principal view in visiting Ala banaa's capital being to purchase all surplus stock in Montgomery, believ- ing that sacrifice on the part of the Alabama dealers would be far better business than the expense of shipping to q wet State
 Tn speaking of his visit Mir. Goidring said: IT
 Alabama going dry has almost made prohibition a universal subject, and almost before we realized 1t. 1t was the sole topic of our conversation.
 If the public realized the amount of liquor which Is being shipped into dry States. they would see that their .agt- tation against the sale Is without avail Although acknowledged by competitors to be one of the foremost liquor deal CTS In the South. I am but small DOT tion compared with the large string of liquor dealers throughout the South. I take great pride. however, in stating that my shipments average not less than 400 packages by each express per month.

PensscoIa Iteaps Hsr,est

With the closing of the saloons in Alabama there is a rush of former liquor dealers of that State to Pensa- cola, and it Is expected that many in addition to those already located here will soon open business.
 4. Almost every available building is occupied by men who have come here from either Georgia or Alabama and real estate men are in receipt of com munications from many others who de- sire to locate in this city and do a wholesale business with their former customers.
 As result the city will receive a much larger revenue this year from the sale of liquor than ever before even though the license was more than doubled a year ago.
 The business of the wholesale deal CTS has also increased to a remarkable extent during the past few months and now that all of Alabama is dry and with Pensacola the nearest point from which liquor can be shipped the whis- key business in Pensacola will assume large proportions.
