EIGHT MILLION GALLONS.
Tremendous Increase i'm COnsumption
of Whiskcy.

Louisville, KY, Aug. 23.-In the
last twelve months the consumption
OF liquors broke all records, and the
people of the United States consum-
ed over million gallons more of
whiskey and over 113 million gallons
more Of beer in the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1911, than they did in
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1910,
is the announcement Of the National
Model License League, which has
Just received the official figures from
r. f. Cabell, L. S. Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue.
The total consumption of distilled
spirits for the year just closed was
134,600193 gallons as compared with
consumption of 126,3S4,726 gall
Ions in the previous year.
The total consumption of beer for
the fiscal year of 1911 was 63,216.S51
barrels or 1.959,722,3S1 gallons as
compared with 59,544.775 barrels or
5.SSS,025 gallons for 1910.
The combined increase is 121.-
o49,S23 gallons which represents an
increase OF i.2 gallons per capita.
using census figures. The total per
capita consumption is now 22.2s gall
Ions.
The highest previous consumption
Of distilled spirits was for the year
1907. The slump that followed that
year continued until 1909 and then
took an upward turn to the present
apex.
Following the receipt of the Com
missioner's telegram, 7. NJ. Gilmore.
President of the National Model Lii
cense League, issued the following
statement:
The Commissioner figures con-
stitute q terrific Indictment of the
prohibition movement as failure
and a farce. The movement that has
spread prohibition over more than
one-half of the map began in 1898.
At that time the per capita consump-
tion Of liquor was about 16 IL gall
Ions, and now after all the whitening
Of the may by the Anti-Saloon
League it is 22.29 gallons. If the
prohibition movement had not
been checked in the past few months
it would be difficult TO put an esti-
mate on the increase that would
have been caused by adding to the
territory in which the people buy in
wholesale lots and consume accord
ingly.

Of what he had recently seen in
Georgetown. He also pointed out
that the kind of people wanted here
as settlers was not the kind that now
owned a large area Of the coast lands
and kept this land entirely as game
preserves and allowed no develop
. ment on it.
Mr.. Crosswell stated that at first
he had not been pleased with the
method of advertising by means IF
moving pictures, but after listening to
the discussions which had been held
during the evening, he had changed
his mind in favor Of the scheme. He.
therefore. moved that the PROPOSE
! ton as submitted by Mr.. McKeand
| be accepted. This motion was pass
Cd unanimously.
Mr.. K. |. Manning stated that he
had received letters from a citizen Of
Olanta who had promised to con-
tribute $1,000 towards the securing
Of the SeabOard Air Line If some
way could be procured for that road
to take over the Belts Railroad. 9th
er citizens had offered 10 contribute
literally if convenient connections
could be made with Sumter. These
letters had been received from both
Turbeville and Olanta.

these persons let him know Of any
specific instances as the committee
was getting ready to have something
done along this line, and the CO.
! operation Of the buiness men Of the
, town was required if anything def
mite was to be done.
Mr. r. B. Belser stated that he had
gotten supervisor Pitts to promise to
build the road between Sumter and
Summerton as far as the county line
and he had also secured the promise
of the Supervisor of Clarendon Coun-
! ty to build the road as far as the
| county line in that county. This
would mean much to the merchants
of Sumter as it would give a large
section of Clarendon county access to
this city. He asked that the Cham
Der Of Commerce and business men
or the city encourage the supervisors
OF both counties in this undertaking.

THE MONROE WAY.

| Monroe, La, should be placed
in the front rank of the class OF
progressive cities. Recently the
handsome sum of $4,000 was
raised in less than an hour for
the purpose of advertising the re-
sources of that city and Ouchita
parish. The business men of Mon
roe realize that there is but one
way to make their city take its
place in the line Of progress. and
that to accomplish this it is neces-
safy that they exploit Monroe and
show to the outside world what
Monroe is and where Monroe is. In
raising this money one business
man did not say "I'll give so much
If John Jones gives twice as much.
because he has twice as much as |
have to give. and if he doesn t
come across won't give any
thing That sentiment is the
cause of the non-activity in more
than one place that we could cite
without travelling thousand
miles. The Monroe men of means
went down in their jeans and pro-
ceeded to "dig up" There were
no questions or restrictions placed
upon their contributions. They
were all of the same opinion re-
garding the welfare of the city
and their personal differences for
the time being, at least, were
buried.
The Monroe way is the right |
way. That kind of a spirit is
bound TO win anywhere. With
progressive civic organization
properly supported So that ii can
be progressive. the North Louisi- I
ana city is going forward in leaps
and bounds that will soon make
II great rival of Shreveport
and Little Rock.
Get together. That the doe
trine preached by Monroe ana her
citizens. The $4,000 recently
raised for advertising Monroe is
only one illustration of how the
citizens Of that place are alive
to'their opportunities.
