state This was explained to the
Standard Oil people and led to a re-
organization Of the Waters-P Pierce
company. Up to May 90. 1900. Mr..
Pierce testified. he had 100 per cent
OF his companys stock. Then he
transferred s5.5 per cent OF the stock
the Standard Oil company. II was
agreed that the name of the Standard
as the owner of the majority of the
company's stock should not appear on
the books OF the company.
The statements made by Mr.. Pierce
in the Missouri proceedings were in
direct contradiction to the statements

tIcally sixteen hours a day of his
time, that is from eight o'clock in
the morning until twelve at night.
This gave him no time at all for
recreation, scarcely enough for sleep.
He described graphically the deg
radiation existing among the lower
classes in the large cities, this of
course, accentuated by their drink
ing habits. 1t seems that they all
drlnk-men, women and children.
Some of his customers drank as much
as four quarts of whiskey a day; few,
If any of them, less than a pint dur
ing twenty-fOur hours. Most of his
clientele were of foreign birth, and
their excessive drinking habits were
acquired in this country Conse-
quently the second generation born
here showed distinct decline men
tally and physically, due to the dis
sipated habits Of their parents.
After a short experience this par
ticular saloon keeper became thor
oughly disguised, and sacrificed his
business for what he could get for
1T. The result of the observation of
this Whlskey dealer are, in a nut
shell, that the lower strata of hui
mainly of the great cities of the
country, where population is con-
gested, has sunk in some instances
to a level one can scarcely under
stand
Many of them literally live on
strong drink. Possibly a large por-
ton of them have lost all knowl-
edge of sobriety. 1t is here that the
prohibitionists should put in their
work. 1t would be an absolute bless
ing to humanity if the temperance
workers could go among these class
es and make an effort to reclaim
them from the curse of strong drink.
1t is true the work would be a
great deal harder than attempting to
establish prohibition in the smaller
communities of the south, but the
harder the work of reclamation the
greater would be the glory.
The drunkenness and degradation
existing among the lower classes of
the larger American cities is a blot
on our civilization, and should re-
ceive the attention of our social re-
formers.

A BAR KEEPERS EXPERIENCE
orer Proprietor of Thirst Parlor Contributes an Inter
estlng Article to Magazine Quit Business in Disgust

In the January number of Nc
Clure's Magazine appears a very
valuable and Interesting article on
A Saloon Keepers Observation and
Experience in New York" The ar
ticle is written by a man of intelli-
gence, and evidently good moral
standing. He is doubtless a man
who. is entirely unprejudiced on
either side of the prohibition ques-
ton. He states that he got into the
business rather by accident, and got
out of it as soon as he could. His
conservative position on the absorb
ng topic of the day makes his views
all the more valuable.
In the beginning it appears that
re answered an attractive advertise
ment for the sale of a saloon that
was alleged to be a very valuable
and paying piece of property. He
investigated the matter, and was en-
trapped by the smooth persuasive
ness of the agent into buying the
property, only to find that he had
been badly swindled in the trade
However, he decided to make the
best of a bad bargain, and at con-
siderable expense finally succeeded in
equ1pping his saloon for business. 1t
happened that his saloon was located
in a thickly populated district, COM
posed largely of working people and
foreigners, consequently he did a
good business during his short expe-
rience. The first proposition he ran
up against was drunken barkeepers
After trying several he finally sue
ceeded in employing one who was
fairly reliable and reasonably sober.
Then he relates his trying experience
with a brewery. The breweries in
the large cities consider the saloon
keeper nothing more than agents to
dispense their wares. 1t being their
object to squeeze them for all they
will stand.
Between the breweries, grating
employees and bad accounts the sa-
loon keeper found that it was neces-
sary to run on Sunday in order to
make any profit at all He found
also that his business required prac-

NO FREEDOM NOW FOR BELL
JURY VOTED SEVEN TO FIVE TO
SEND HIM BACK TO ASYLUM.
MANY FRIENDS PRESENT.

In an effort to secure the release
of Hon. George H. Bell of Emanuel
county, the author of the letter that
was printed in the last issue of The
News, from the insane asylum at
Milledgeyille, the jury by vote of
Z to . remanding him back to that
institution.
The trial occurred in Milledgeville
before the Ordinary of Baldwin coun-
ty, and continued all day and late
into the night. 1t was on a writ of
habeas corpus used out by l.. J. Kill
burn of Macon.
Attorney w, ID. Mcneil, who pre-
scented the writ, stated that he would
carry the case higher, and that he
confidently expected Bell would be
released. The trial was exceedingly
interesting, as many men from
SWalnsborO, Bells old home, were
present, including his brother, DR..
Bell, Judge SaffoId and others. All
OF these testified in behalf of Bell,
and Bells statement was straight
forward. All experts at the SANTA
rum testified, and their evidence was
to the effect that Bell was laboring
under chronic delusions.
Conspicuous at the trial was Mrs.
Blanche Burton of indianapolis, who
was Bells friend during the time he
was IN the Georgia legislature. She
IS furnishing funds, according to the
testimony, to push the case for his
release.
Bell has been in the asylum nearly
three years, and claims that he is
Wrongfully and illegally confined
there.

Some days ago Mr.. w. P. Hornady

of Judge A. w Fife of the Rome

of which was mailed to the jurist:
Here's to my unknown friend, Judge

Who is always on the side OF the

Fighting the devil with all his might
To rid our state of the liquor blight.

mirer of the judge expressed him
self thus:
