Decrease Number Saloons;
Increase in Cost Of Licens

Washington, Aug.-The tidy sum
of 81, 2S8,536,496 was collected in
1908 by 1853 cities of the United
States, according to census bulletin
Just issued, which is devoted to mu-
nicipal financial statistics. Twenty
four of the 1873 cities were prohlbl-
ton places, an advance Of ten pro-
hibition cities in one year. Yet
Notwithstanding the decrease in the
number of licensed saloons, there
has been an increase in the receipts
from liquor licenses, due to an in
crease in the cost of licenses among
the cities still allowing the existence
Of saloons. New York and Chicago
from this source alone receive each
more than 100000 in 1903.
The number CT licenses for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors by the
drink in 1905 was II, 1866, in 1907
they were 67,l31 and in 1903 they
were 63,874. This decrease was ntt
confined to any particular part o.
the country, but is apparently in
every group OF states, except in GER
tain Of the Rocky Mountain States.
The decrease has been most marked
in the South Atlantic States. Chelsea
and Fitchburd, Mass, change from
no license" to License and caused
an increase Of 100 Fer cent in 1867
IS in the number Of licensed places
selling liquor by the drink.
Despite the large decrease in the
number of licensed places, the re-
ceipts from liquor licenses and taxes
by Isl cities increased from $30,810,-
833 in 1905 to $39,234223 in 1897
and to S4195O,198 in 1903. This is
explained in the general raising OF
the cost of licenses.
The states having the largest
number Of places licensed to sell
liquor by the drink in proportion tc
population are shown to be Texas
Wisconsin and New York. Calves.
ton, Texas, sold more liquor to the
population than any other city
Milwaukee. next.

INVESTORS HAVE
EYE on YNAYCE0SS
Good Place To Locate Board
Is After Eany InGd stree

Waycross, Ca, Aug. 13-Cap;tal-
lists and investors who have visited
Waycross recently are writing back
that they are SO fayorably impress
ed that they are arranging to make
investments here in a very substan-
tial manner.
One Of the recent visitors, who, for
business reasons, desires his identity
to remain unknown at present, belle
YES that Waycross is the best city in
South Georgia for headquarters for
a large securities company, and pro-
poses to locate here if possible, build
ing a large office building.
Another writes that he notices the
particular industries the Board of
Trade is after, and 50 impressed is
he with the spirit shown by citizens
while he was here he says that he is
going to direct his best efforts toward
helping Waycross get theadesired in
dustries.
Best of all is the assurance Of CO.
operation that comes from a formet
Georgian, and once newspaper editor,
now living in New York, that he is
doing all he can for Waycross and
hopes to materially benefit the fast
est growing city in Georgia." In
view of the interest this party is
taking in Wcyaross' promotion, it is
probable that the Board of Trade and
real estate agencies of the city will
unite in establishing New York off
ces with the ex-newspaper editor as
representative. Taking the various
letters that have come unsolicited,
the outlook for Woycross in every
manner assumes even more optim-
istic hues.

The Fitzgerald Cotton Mills are

Superintendent May is busy

Of looms at the cotton factory, by
which the product Of the spindles
will be converted into cloth and
the people Of the community, farmers
of the county who raise staple may
take it back to the farm again, and
utilize it.
The factory will manufacture
tWilIs and ducking.
The mills will start up again
early in October with a larger pay
roll than ever before.
The Fitzgerald Cotton Factory is
filling the place mapped out for it
in these columns about ten years
ago.
The writer invested then eleven
hundred dollars and our neighbors
sixty thousand more that was a
clear loss at the time but the factory
is here growing and expanding with
the city, contributing a large share
to the commercial strength and Wig
or of the community, making bust
ness and creating values, and while
we regret that the mills have been
shut down temporarily more than
once on account of the market we
are proud of the institution and
would like to see half dozen en-
terprises of the kind in the colony.
