Beer Sales Decrease Alike In
America, England and Germany.

But that is not the only indication
of the decline of King Gambrinus.
During the past eight months the
sales Of beer in the United States, ac-
cording to the Brewers Journal, New
York, April 1, have decreased as COM
pared with the similar eight months
of the year preceding not less than
1857, 01S gallons.
Nor is that the only item in this rec
ord of retrogreSsiOn.
The same issue Of the Brewers
Journal states in its staff correspond
ence from London that the output of
beer in the United Kingdom for the
past. fifteen months shows a total de-
crease over the same fifteen months
preceding of exactly 29,J93, 623 gallons,
and the correspondent adds, This is
the largest decline since the beginning
of our present time of depression in
1900, and no end is to be seen as yet"
And as if that were not enough dis
coura gement, advices from Germany
and Austria go far to confirm the as
sertion that the beer trade is suffering
a worldwide depression.
Consul General Richard Guenther,
summarizing conditions of the Ger
man brewing industry, declares: 1.-The
brewers Of Frankfort and Germany
in general didn't work very profitably
last year The outlook Of the brew
ing industry in Germany is not bright
just now
A special correspondent of the jour
nal above noted writes from Munich
March 10, 1909: The brewing indus
try remains on the anxious seat, and
the brewers do not know how to ar
range their business. That the situa-
ton here in Munich is actually becom-
ing discouraging for the retail trade
may be gathered from the fact that
in some places trading stamps are
given with every liter of beer Sold

Court of the Simmons act to relinquish
the title or claim of the State to GER

the opinion handed down by Justice
Mayes in the Winton VS.. Day case does
not seem to have caused much surprise
among members of the bar who have
studied the law which was attacked be-
fore the court. The action of the court
also goes to sustain the position taken

Social Clubs Exempt.

That the federal authorities will not
interfere with the social clubs in Mis-
sissippi where the locker system is en-
ployed, and alcoholic refreshments kept
by members for their personal use is
evidenced by recent rulings made by
the United States internal revenue col
lector, copies of which have been re-
ceived here by the federal authorities for
their guidance. The rulings fully sus-
tain the right of social organizations to
maintain the locker system for the use
OF members who desire to keep liquid
stimulants therein.

Dewey Invited,

Members of the Mississippi battleshiP
silver service commission have written
personal letters to Admiral George
Dewey urging him to be present at the
presentation OF the silver service to the
battleship Mississippi at Horn Island
June 2. In view of the fact that Ad-
miral Dewey served on the old gunboat
Mississippi during the days of the Civil
War and received his first bath of fire
while aboard that vessel, it is more
than probable that he will accept the
invitation.

May Grow Tobacco.

According to the observations and
studies of the subject by those who
have had opportunities of so doing, there
seems no reason why the cut-over lands
of South Mississippi should not be made
to produce leaf tobacco proftably, as
has been demonstrated in the section
around cambridge, Ga. This is the
view of w. L. Pryor, special agent of
the bureau of statistics of the United
States department of agriculture, who
has been studying the subject for some
time, during his rambiings through the
territory mentioned.

BOY STEALERs.

The kidnapers of Willie
WhitIa could steal the little fell
low, but when he came back to
the hotel he rushed into his
fathers arms and kissed him
affectionately.
"The rumseIIers sometimes
send back the boys they have
stolen" comments the Wesleyan
Methodist, "but it is often with
clubs and guns and knives with
which to shed the blood of their
fathers and mothers. These are
ten thousand times worse steal
ers of boys than the man or men
who stole the little WE1itla lad.
They should be punished by i'm
prisonment for life, but of what
punishment are these worse boy
steaIers deserving?"

Prohibition on King Edwards Estate.

Prohibition on King Edwards Estate.
It is well known that King Edward
has always been most solicitous for
the welfare of the men on his estate
at Sandringham. A writer in the
Mitigate Monthly, in describing the
conditions, states that the housing of
the laborers is most exemplary, and
there is a kindly interest taken in
each family by their royal master and
mostress. The king has not permit
ted the establishment of a licensed
house upon the estate. Instead of
doing this he founded the Sandring-
ham club for the use of all work
men upon the estate above the age Of
il. and, in order that it should not
be regarded as altogether Of char
liable nature, a subscription of Is per
quarter is levied upon the members.
