"A word from no-iicense cities.
Mr.. Il. A. Snead, who had been
scheduled 10 represent Clifton Forge
could not be present but sent the fol-
lowing letter as to the working OF
local option in his town:
49,, Clifton Forge. Va. Feb. u, 1911.

Dear Sir and Brother
4 regret exceedingly that ii is abb
solutely impossible for me to be present
at the meeting OF the League, 10 be held
2lst to gard OF this month, at which
time Clifton Forge Is expected to be
heard from through me. ..~... '.-..
Il asecl not assuf'e you that am
sincerely disappointed i'll that 4 will
not be able to be present. | had some
good results 10 this little city from local
option which / wanted TO bring TO the
attention of the members OF the League
and others interested In the cause of
temperance
Il may say in this letter however,
that under local option in this city.
We have had a season OF prosperity
which we never enjoyed before
The employees of the corpora tons
and others in the city are in better fl
nancial shape than perhaps they have
ever been since their residence here.
"One of the large corporations in this
city in the four preceding the q abolition
of the saloon had 1856 garnishments
against it's employees, in the last four
years since the saloons were voted
out the same corporation, although
working larger NUMBER or men, has
had only 4s9 garnishments.
The bank deposits on December IS.
1905. were about $3.50, 900: on Decem-
Der %, 1910, the same banks had de-
posts OF $500. 900; lacking only $780,
of being 100 per cent. increase.
From an issue or our daily paper
which came out about two weeks ago, I
quote the following. In an interview
with representative of the Review
to-day, Chief OF Police Hornsbarger
stated that the month of January had
been about as quiet in police circles as
any month since he had been a men,
Der OF the force. Since becoming a
city in 1906 records show that only
one man has been sent to the peniten-
tiary and he was stranger who hap
pened in here and committed a crime
to which he confessed. In the Mayors
Court there has been very few serious
cases, and SO orderly is the city that
more than a week passes at a time
without the necessity of trial by the
mayor.
Il might mention great many adj
vantages that have resulted from the
abolition OF the saloon in this city.

HINES ASKED To RESIGN
CHICAGO cLUBMEN MAKE WAR
ON LoRiMER'S FRIEND.
Trial by Union League Directors 10
Postponed Until After U. S.
Bribery Inquiry.

Chicago.-Edward Hines was In
vited to resign from the Union
League club, but declined to do so.
The request, presented by a director
on the ground that the lumherman's
participation as a principal in the
putting over of William Lorimer at
Springfield had become a source of
embarrassment to the club through
the testimony Of witnesses before the
Helm bribery investigating committee,
ELECTED merely a defiant retort.
When the club official reported his
inability to persuade Mr.. Hines to re-
sign the directors held a meeting to
consider charges previously filed.
There was a general belief that the
coming investigation by a sub-commit-
tee Of the United States senate would
add to the information regarding Mr..
Hines conduct, as brought out by the
Helm committee. 1t was decided,
therefore, to postpone the club inquiry
for awhile, and the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That in view of the pro-
posed investigation of the Lorimer
case by the United States senate, the
hearing of the charges against Mr..
Hinss be deferred for the present and
until the further action of this board"

NEW NEGRO KILLING MARK
White Section Boss Disposes Of Four
and Conductor Gets Reet,
Wounding Ninth.

La Branch, Law. l. Boutelle
and Green Storey are believed to
have broken all records for rapid and
deadly revolver shooting, when at La
Branch they shot and killed eight me-
groes in ten minutes. There was one
wounded, which puts Storey's score a
bit ahead of Boutelle's.
The negroes were members of a Sec
ton gang and Boutelle is foreman.
The blacks conceived a hatred for the
boss and plotted to kill him, 1t is said.
They engaged in a fight among them
selves, and when Boutelle rushed over
to stop the row they turned upon him,
and n struck him over the head with
a shovel. Boutelle fell, but sat up,
and before he finished rising to his
feet had shot four times and killed
four negroes.
Green Storey, a conductor, heard
the loud talking among the negroes.
He ran down the track, and arrived
just as Boutelle finished shooting. Sto-
rey killed four negroes and wounded
another with six shots.
