NEAR-BEER
SELLERS ARE
HANDLED HARD
Judge McReynOIds Metes Them
Out Fines and Jail Sen
tenCeS in Lively
Fashion.

Circuit court has been grinding
along this week at a rapid rate, and
the results have not been pleasurable
to the near-beer sellers.
Judge McReynolds has beea firing
the fines and workhouse sentences at
them at lively clip, and nothing but
a born fool will go into the near-beer
business in this county after this.
A News reporter took in part of the
session of court Tuesday afternoon,
and noted the above transactions One
case was tried before jury while he
was there, q negro and white boy for
near-beer selling on mountain side
near Whitwell. John T. Raulston de-
Tended the case, and Attorney General
Whitaker was for the prosecution.
Raulston brought lot of witnesses to
prove that the near-beer sold there
didn' { make them drunk, and Whit
aker based his prosecution on the fact
that the Supreme Court had declared
( that possession of Federal license
was prima facie evidence of selling in
toxicating liquors. The jury returned
a,verdiet of guilty according to indict-
ment. and the Judge fined the parties
$50 and costs each and imprisonment
in workbouse two months, which was
about the best he could do. The jury
could have fixed the amount of fine as
high as $500.
Some dozen other r-beer cases
were disposed Of rapidly, some of which
were continued from last court, some
of parties who had gone out of bust
ness, but we're indicted, and some who
pleaded guilty to the charge without
further question. and fines of $50 and
costs, and from 80 to so days in work
house were bestowed lavishly. Some
few cases were nollied on costs for va
rious reasons. A South Pittsburg sell
Ter, who declared he had been out of
business for nearly year, got $3.50 in
fines and eight months workhouse SEN
tepce for past transgressions.

PltsENER OR PROTECTION?
Americas Beer Bill Five Times The Cost
1000, 600, ,0C0 Fraternai
Insurance.

What the United States spent for
beer last year was over FIVE times the
annual cost of the SO, 900, 900, 900 of
fraternsl insurance in force. says the
Modern Woodmen Bulletin. The frat
ernal beneficiary societies expended
$87, 00O, 900 for benefits in 1911. The
American people meanwhile consumed
about rs, 900, 900 barrels of beer, for
which the brewers received perhaps
1915, 900, 900. The consumers paid
much more for it. On the whole, it is
safe to say that our beer last year cost
us five times as much as our 50, 000,
900, 900 of fraternal insurance, which
means 800 of insurance for every
man, woman and child in the United
States.

DENOUNCES THIRD
PARTY MOVEMENT
La Toilette Bitterly Scores
Colonel Roosevelt.

Madison, Wis, July Ex-senator La
Toilette has gone on record as OPP
posed to the third party movement
fathered by Colonel Roosevelt.
In an editorial in La Follette's
Weekly he not only declares against
the Roosevelt move. but scathingly at
tacks the coloneIs motives In organ
iZing the new party.
La Follette's editorial is headed
"The Case of Mr.. Roosevelt" and he
sums up his conclusions as follows:
"Mr. Roosevelt appeals to progress
sives to join his party. Rooseyelt's
whole record demonstrates that he
has no constructive power; that he is
progressive only in words; that he is
ever ready to compromise in order to
win, regardless OF platform promises
or progressive principles.
''He will not last. In the end the
people of this country will get his true
measure.
''No party was ever successfully or
ganized about a man.
Principles and issues must consti-
tute the basis OF any great move
ment."
Comparing Roosevelt with Bryan
La Toilette says:
Bryan at Baltimore, foregoing all
chance of his own nomination, mar
shalling all his forces, braving Tam
many and the trusts to rescue his
party from their domination, carrying
the convention for the adoption OF a
progressive platform, the most pro-
gressive yet offered, was a towering
figure of moral power and patriotic
devotion to civic righteousness"

The scene now will shift TO the SEN
