Plenty Of Saloons.

II SALOON IS a good thing, then
twelve saloons arc twelve times as
good. If one saloon will help build
good roads and bridges, then twelve
saloons Will build twelve times as
much good roads and bridges. AMI
II n saloon will help, as claimed IN
the ''wet' circular. to put a stop to
the drinking That has been going on
IN Morgan County, then twelve sa
looms should, stop it al,css,Aer.

along, but your trouble begins when
you undertake TO prove the saloon a
good thing.

A prominent member Of "a promi-
nent church, alter the election was
known to be a wet victory, told his
pastor he was thinking strongly of
going atheist. Asked why, he said
he understood that every atheist
in the county had voted for local OPP
ton, while many members OF his
church had voted for the saloon, and
he wanted to be in respectable COM

Now, that the election is over and
the rumseller has won the victory fol
a term of four years, suppose we look
the matter up and figure out the in.
creased burdens OF our citizens for
the next four years. burdens they
have been rid Of for the past four
years. They must pay the license.
rent, hea. and barkeeper's salary for
every saloon licensed in the county !;
they must build fine houses, and fine
ly furnish them, buy good clothes
and good things to eat for the rum
sellers and families; (you did it be-
fore) buy some of Morgan County's
best farms fer the rumsellers; (you
did it before) and furnish a goodly
mount OF cash for the rumsellers to
loan out at interest. (you did it be-
fcTe) These things must be paid for
by the poor devils who drink. But
those who are opposed to the traffic
must also contribute their share in
the added costs, support Of poor, in

All Rep srts Contradictory.

London, Oct "A maze of contra
dictory reports continue to shroud
whatever history has been enacted in
the first two days of the italian Turk
ish war
Whether the city Of Tripoli has been
invested by Italian troops cannot be
definitely determined.
The Italians had not attacked the
north African city up to midnight Sat
day. Italian Censorship Of the tele-
grams fled in TripoH is severe.
Turkish officials in London confirm
a news dispatch saying that the forts
at Prevesa had been destroyed and
1900 troops landed; while Italy gives
an emplatic' denial OF the report say
ing that. the italian government mas
no intention OF resorting to acts
against the territorial status Of Tur-
key in Europe.
1t is belieEed that what actually
happened was that the Turkish YES
sells in the Vicinity OF Preye were
scattered and the forts destroyed 10

shipping.
Europe is greatly relieved 1T the re-
ceipt Of news that Turkey has assured
Greece she has no intention Of attack

likely that no action will be taken.
The board is composed OF Mayor
Butts, Aldermen McKinnon. Ludwig
and Calnan. Mr.. McKinnon is in North
Carolina, but he is expected to reach
here some time during the day.
The News has tried to find out just
how the situation with the police
stands, but it seems that no one is
in position to explain the matter fully.
From the best information obtainabIe
it seems that there is a vacancy in
the entire department save the chief
and assistant chief, and the patrolmen
gbw on the force are only employed
Nom month to month exactly as is the
case ii the sanitary department. The
committee today will select just such
men as the members think will best
serve the city and these viii be en-
ployd, as above stated, from month to
month. This committee will also
name jailer to succeed j. D. Nal
Ion, and for this place there are more
than half dozen applicants. For
police places there were twenty seven
applications in yesterday and more
are likely to show up today before
the meeting of the board.

This evening the coffee houses in

"'The Italian government made an

Maltese Refuaees suHer.

Maka, Oct "A scene OF confusion
occurred at the quarantine station
here early today when the British
steamer Caslegarth entered the har-
Dor in the eight Of a severe gale,
crowded with 1900 Maltese refugees
from Tripoli. The passengers were
huddled on the deck clamoring to get
to land after three days voyage with
an insufficient supply of food and
water. Although there had been mo
casualties, most of the fugitiyes were
faint from hunger and thirst.
The port authorities promptly or
dered emergency measures, directing
the vessel to dock Immediately. Once
ashore, the passengers soon found re-
lief.
The members of the Maltese colony
in Tripoli went aboard the Castlegarth
riday morning at the suggestion of
The British consul, who feared for
heir safety in the threatened bonn
tardment. Their provisions were soon
exhausted and severe weather added
