Alabama was made up in the same way
as was that of the Georgia.
The commander of the Georgia, Mat

most eminent naval authorities of the
time, the author OF standard works, and
the protector, in 1853, of the famous mari

an eminent geographer and the founder,
in conjunction with the British govern

course, well known.
81 think / may say that the life of this
eminent man, and, incidentally, my own,
was never in more imminent peril than on
the occasion of our running the blockade
which was established outside of the port
of Wilmington, n. G.. Commodore Maury
and myself were returning as passengers
from Bermuda. 1t was in broad daylight,
in the morning, when we were sighted
within easy firing distance by one of the
blockadng squadron. Had the latter craft
have inevitably been captured. Instead,
however, the Union vessel chose to make
us a target, doubtless to exercise her skill
in gunnery.
Our vessel was a typical blockade
runner. specially built for that peculiar
purpose. This perilous service yielded, I
need scarcely say. very, large profits to
those engaged in it. A cargo of cotton
successfully landed abroad meant a profit
to the owners, after paying all expenses,
including the wages of captain and crew
and allowing for the actual value Of the
vessel. of 100 per cent. and this de-

tain of a blockade runner was $4,000 a
year.
We'll. as 1 say. the Lillian, the name of
the boat We We're on was sighted by the
Union man-of-war, which commenced fir
ing upon us with deadly accuracy. In this
encounter we had, as was afterward re-
marked by Capt. Maury. more shells fired
at us than had the Alabama in her battle
with the kearsarge. One hundred and
forty-eight shells. by actual count, were
sent in our direction, and many Of them
took effect. Luckily, neither the engine
nor the propelling or steering gear were
injured, though otherwise the boat was
literally torn to pieces. Finally, seeing us
started in to chase us. Almost sinking,
but with engines going at full speed, You
may be sure, we made for the protection
Of the guns of Fort Fisher The peculiar
build of the blockade runner was doubt
less our salvation in this singular eXpe-
rience.
THE vessel stood scarcely four feet
above water. and a more difficult and
elusive craft as a target could scarcely
be imagined. Her extremely small draft
too, enabled us to sail right up almost
on the beach. where we rocked with the
breakers, while our pursuer made off
hurriedly. for she had come within range
of the guns of the fort, which now began

pramshops LaMs Enforeed.

The question which was next in i'm
portance in the campaign OF 1908 was
as to the manner In which the excise
laws. or the laws regulating dram
shops. should be enforced. Prior to
1905 the laws regulating dramshops
In this state had been enforced most
indinerently, II at all. Through the
corrupt conditions existing In the pub.
lie affairs OF the municipalities and
Of the state. the liquor interests had
secured an immunity to violate the
law. which was paid for in political
contributions and effectiveness at
election times. After his election as
governor In 1904, Governor Folk,
through his police boards in Kansas
City. St. Louis and ST. Joseph, insist
ed that the liquor interests should
obey the laws, and particularly the
law providing for the closing Of sa-
looms on Sunday. And during his ad.
ministration the laws regulating dram
shops were enforced with reasonable
effectiveness In St Louis. although
they were but imperfectly enforced
in Kansas City and St Joseph.
II is charged. Notwithstanding the
fact that all, or practically all. Of the
breweries and the liquor interests OF
the state supported my opponent IN
the last campaign, that my election
would mean the opening Of the sa-
Ions en- Sunday. the granting Of spe-
cial favors to the liquor interests, and
that tho declarations Of the Repub'
lican platform In favor OF home rule
were a compromise with lawless-
ness" And this. Notwithstanding the
fact that the Republican state plat
form OF 1908 declared in favor OF the
enforcement OF all laws regulating
dramshops, including the closing OF
saloons on Sunday.
Let us see how that pledge has been
kept and that promise performed. so
completely and so efficiently have the
laws regulating d%ramshops in Kansas
City, 81. Louis and ST. Joseph been
enforced during the last twenty
months that this question has now
ceased TO DO an issue In Missouri poli-
tics. The question as 10 whether the
liquor interests win be made 70 obey

law has ceased 20 be Il topic OF dis

messed by the people Of this state
than in the maunor in which the CX-
else laws and laws regulating dram

large cities in the last twenty months
And this result has been accomplished

and the specific direction TO excise
