The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

When an attempt was made at the
short session of the House of Represen-
tatives to amend the postoffice appro
priation bill so as to exclude from the
mails any periodical carrying liquor
advertisements, Representative Moon of
Tennessee was moved to remark in
opposing the amendment that there
had been more Hypocrisy and rot"
in connection with the liquor question
in this country than with any other
political subject. Therein he spoke a
parable. especially as to the rot
It would seem that it is almost i'm
possible to con1fne the discussion of
the liquor problem to essentials. The
trouble seems to be that a confusion
of terms has practically blocked pro-
sress in talking. speaking, writing or
making signs about temperance and
prohibition.
For instance, we are all agreed that
temperance is virtue and that in
temperance is a cucse, but when one
side defines temperance as meaning
moderate use. the other side declares
that moderate use is as bad or worse
than intemperance. one side says
that temperance necessarily includes
''use," while the other side says tenn
perance means enforced abstinence,
and SO it goes.
Annual Consumption
Meanwhile. the official figures show
that the annual per capita consump-
ton of liquors, mainly whisky and
beer, is about % gallons. OF this ac-
cording to the report of the United
States commissioner and of the United
States bureau Of the census, 1.S9 gall
Ions is whisky. and 20.1.5 gallons is
beer These figures do noh include do
mestic wines nor imported wines. cor
dials, liquors and the like. Neither do
they include the white corn licker,"
made by the moonshners in the south
eastern mountains.
However, they are larse enough to
prove the essential fact that John G.
Wooley was right when, in leaving the
prohibition party, he declared that the
people of this country do not want ma
tional prohibition.
But he was only partly right a that.
The people of this country do not want
personal prohibition. When a liquor
man defends his business on the basis
of personal liberty he is scoffed at by
those who would drive him out of busi-
ness, but when the liquor man says
amer nded as to include a provision that

The parrot-like use of the vague

With Its Cause in Doubt for q Jury
to Decide at the Next Term
OF Circuit Court

The death Of Albert Wilson near
Grange Springs SUNDAY night IS an
bother mysterious tragedy that will
furnish hard work for lawyers and
juries al the next term Of court.
\ telephone message to Sheriff
Galloway before daylight Monday
morning advised him that Wilson
had been found dead in a road near
Orange Springs few hours before.
As it was hardly possible for the
sheriff to leave Ocala Monday, he
sent Deputy Osteen in his car with
his son. Mr. Roy Galloway, to inves-
tigate the trouble.
The officers returned late yester-
day afternoon, bringing with them
Mrs. Wilson. widow of the dead man,
against whom they considered the
| evidence strong enough to warrant
their taking her into custody.
From all reports, Mr.. and Mrs.
Wilson passed Sunday at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Perry Wells, Mrs.
| Wilson's parents, on the Orange
| Springs and Eureka road. Later in
| the day, Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson went to
| the home Of Mrs. Wilson's brother. a
mile or so from the Wells home.
| They returned to Mr.. Perry Wells
home at night. and late at night Mr..
and Mrs. Wilson left for their own
| home. Some time after. neigh bors
| heard shots. and going out on the
road found Wilson dead. One bullet
| had gone thrue his left arm into his
side. and another into his hip. Those
| first on the scene thought they saw
some one making his or her way into
the bushes.
Shortly after. Mrs Wilson came
down the road from the direction OF
her fathers home. She said she
had not intended to go home with
her husband. but had walked down
the road with him part of the way,
and then had gone back TO her
| fathers home 10 spend the night.
| She was preparing TO retire when
thought it was her husband shoot
| ing at coon, and then decided to
go and see if there was any trouble.
The Wilson's lived near Paine s
| landing. Mr.. and Mrs. Wells live
near Eureka, which is about seven
miles from Orange Springs. Wilson 5
body was found in the road about
| three miles from Orange Springs.
Mrs. Wilson must have had extra
| ordinary good hearing to have heard
the shots that killed her husband if
she was at her parents home when
they We're fired.
Wilson was about thirty years old;
his wife is somewhat older 1t is
said that Wilson was her third hus-
band. The first, Ed Howard, was
killed by another man somewhere
between Eureka and Fort Mccoy
about six years ago.

GINNING COTTON

George Giles & Company's cotton
gin presented a lively appearance
this morning when a Star represen-

one double gin were running full
blast, with a number of hands feed

the fleecy staple away and putting it
into the big press, which baled it up
as fast as it was filled. Giles is buy
ing all the cotton that is brought to
him and is paying the highest price
