WHAT WILL THEY DO?

The primary election law was
passed to do away with boss rule
and to give the people a chance
to vote for whomsoever they
choose. The self nominated eli
minating committee of 81 is an
example of the worst kind of boss.
rule. Will the progressive voters
of the state turn their backs on
the primary election law and vote
for the slate-made ticket, or will
they vote for President Fl. H.

WEST INDIAN COTTON.

Messrs. Wolstenholme and Holland, of Lily

~, with reference to the sales of the West
Indian Sea Island cotton
Since our last report, only about 100 bales
Of West IndiaA Stained Sea Islands have
been sold; the stock is now practically all
sold.
Owing to a storm ON the Florida and
Georgia coast, there has been a fear that
the American Sea Island crop may have
been damaged in quality, with the result
that prices of the best FIoridas have risen
from 163d tat which the market opened)
to 18d., this being the price now ruling; but
should the reported damage not be corrobo-
r~ted, prices may probably ease. Fully

DISMISSAL OF THREE CADETS
Official Action of Naval Academy
officers VIII Meet With Gen.
eraI Approval.

The dismissal of three cadets from
the United States Naval Academy in
their graduating year because of
drunkenness, will meet with general
approval everywhere, says the ST.
Louis Star. If there is a single place
in the public service where total alb
stinence from liquor ought to be
made compulsory it is in the naval
service, where officers have response
bility for the lives of thousands of
men and safety of ships whose value
is not reckoned by the cost of their
construction, but by the possible con
sequences of not having them in time
of war. 1t is difficult to prevent drink
ing by enlisted men of either the army
or navy, and not of so much i'm
portance, but it can be prevented in
the case of officers, on pain of dis
missal, and few officers would prefer
liquor to their commissions The
navy has lost much in life and ships
through drink, and in efficiency. and
the army has lost in efficiency, and is
still losing, through the same cause
Some day it might be of tremendous
Importance. Annapolis and West
Point are good places to start the Off
GERS on the total abstinence road as
well as to impress them with the
truth that regulations are made to be
obeyed, and that an officer who can
not himself obey is not fit to command
others who must do so.

TENDENCY TO LIQUOR HABIT
Efforts at Promoting Temperance Nee
essarily Slow Owing to Gus
toms of Ancestors.

We must not be surprised at the
great difficulty in promoting temper
ance, not to speak of total abstinence,
when we recall what a strong hold the
habit of using intoXicants had upon
our English and American ancestors.
1t has not been very long ago since
liquors were kept on the sideboard in
almost every home where the family
could afford it, and were freely offer
ed to every guest as part of the hos
pitality of the day, says Temperance.
1t wasnot good form" to refuse what
was offered, and so the caller at sew
eral homes in the course of an even
ing was apt to find his head Keeling
and his feet unsteady as he left his
hospitable friends and made his way
to his own dwelling.
Not many considered it a very great
disgrace to be under the influence of
liquor, although hard drinkers were
apt to speak with contempt of those
who had limited capacity and were
speedily overcome.
Far back beyond those early days,
in the old country our ancestors made
free use Of beer and spirits. These
beverages were taken as matters of
course.
The consumption Of beer in an ordi-
nary home was enormous. Besant in
his London" tells of a family where
q quarts were taken daily, nearly 3
quarts for each person. We must
remember that there was no tea, that
people would not drink water if they
could get anything else, and that small
beer was the national beverage taken
with every meal and between meals,
and that the allowance was at each
ones own discretion" As late as
1910 the men in a London printing Of
flee took a pint of beer before break
fast a pint with breakfast, a pint be-
tween breakfast and dinner a pint at
dinner. another at 6, and a sixth pint
when they stopped work. The pota-
tons We're sometimes continued du-
ring the evening Ale was also used
in large quantities. Wine was used,
but not so freely because of it's great
er cost,
Drinking in England in the 18th
century was a general habit among all
classes. The clergy, merchants, law
yers, judges, tradesmen and working
men all drank. In 1886 there We're
7,044 gin-shops in London and over
5000 other places where gin was sold.
so that one house in every five was
a resort for drinkers, to say nothing
of the vast quantities of beer, gin.
wine and other int0xicants consumed
at home.
Gin had grown to be the favorite
tipple, especially with the work peo-
pie, some of whom spent much of their
wages in the fiery stuff that brought
speedy intoXication.
When we think how extensively IN
toXicants were employed and how the
old-time usages of the mother coun-
try were transferred to this land. and
how general during the colonial pc
Rod and for many years later here
was the free use of liquors. we must
not be discouraged at the slow prog
ress of efforts at securing sobriety.

Warner was on his knees in a mo-
ment, fumbling at the old mans col
lar to loosen it, but Halsey caught his
hand.
Let him alone" he said. You
can't help him; he is dead"
We stood there, each avoiding the
others eyes; we spoke low and rev.
erently in the presence of death, and
we tacitly avoided any mention of
the suspicion that was in every mind
When Mr. Jameson had finished his
cursory examination, he got up and
busted the knees of his trousers.
There is no sign of injury he
said, and l know |, for one, drew a

But what could have done it?" Ger

Warner looked shaken; his honest,

feeling sleepy, l came down to the

Mr.. Jameson was going through the
old mans pockets, and Gertrude was
composing his arms, folding them
across his white shirt-bosom, always
so spotless.
In the course of his Investigations
the detective had come to the inner
pocket of the dead buffers black
coat. Here he found some things that
| interested him. One was a small flat
key, with a red cord tied to it, and the
other was a bit Of white paper, on
