 Before the meeting had closed there were several petitions well filled, and it is certain that befor another meeting of the committee there will have been secured enough sienatures by those who took the pa. titions last night to assure the com mitiee of the whole that the propo- sition will go through
 Men Of the highest business and Professional standing are more en thusiastic over this subject than any thing that has been before them in years. not in the behalf of liquor sales not because of incorporate views because tley for the most part are temperate men but because they believe that conditions will be worse in Hot Springs with liquor sales left to be governed by officers. than tfl 1T is governed by law. and they are behind the law to see that if is en- forced

 While there was much discussion of the restrictions that are to Eovern, NNN tAAt t-N&itl dl HtAA l4lifiAt it AilN iilt'hT ing last night was that too many restrictions would be worse than to fix those which can and will be easily enforced. It was argued that if there were too many restrictions there would soon be a laxity in the en- forcement because some one man would break over on one. and another soon would say if one restriction we're not enforced another should not ap- ply. so that in the end the regulations would be more difficult
 County Judge Mooney was present and stated that he would lend his full help in the placing of the restrictions and in demanding their enforcement, and that he would see that there were revocatiOns Of licenses unless
 he restrictions and regulations were observed by the saloon men He had offered inc following communications 1 MT. A. r Davies, Secretary Business
