Wlthholds Signing Liquor Bill.

Gov. Brewer will not sign the much
discussed %anti-booze bill until he has
read the full decision of the Tennessee
supreme court on a similar measure
enacted in that state, which has been
declared unconstitutional. Close per-
sonal friends of the governor, who
have discussed this subject with him,
say that he is going to consider the
bill strictly with regard to its consti-
t~utional aspects. If he concludes that
the proposed law is invalid, violating
either the state or federal constitu-
ton, he will not hesitate to veto 1t, re-
CARELESS of what the radical prohibit
~tionists may think. Incidentally, the
governor is hearing some mighty in
teresting things from both houses
about this proposed legislation. 1t has
been brought to his ears that many
members in both bodies voted for the
bill, not because they believed 1t is q
true prohibition or temperance meas
ure, but simply because they were
afraid t. vote against it, feeling thai
the radicals would go after their polit
ical scalps.

New Counties Seem Assured.

Among other pending legislative
questions which are at the front and
awaiting settlement is whether the
new county of Stone is to be, or wheth-
err the people of the northern half of
Harrison county shall be allowed to
vote on the question Of secession, as
proposed in the bill now on the house
calendar There is little apparent op-
position to this bill. Another new coun-
ty for South Mississippi is among the
almost assured achievements of the
present year. This will be Walthall
county. as authorized by chapter $50,
of the acts of 1912. to be formed from
the west part of Marion county and
the eastern part of Pike, with Tyler
town as the seat of government The
election to decide whether the voters
of the territory are agreeable to the
proposed change is to be held some
day following April 20, 1914, as desig-
mated in the act, and according to ad-
| vices the probability is that the ques-
tion will carry.

LIQUOR AT AsBuRY PARK.

Asbury park, where. in November,
the National w. c. T. L. held its
fortieth annual convention, has a resi-
len population of $4,000, and more
than a million people visit the city
each Its founder made in
every deed a restriction against the
manufacture or sale of intoxicating
liquor, although as far as he knew.
there was not at that time another
seaside resort or Incorporated town on
the American continent or in Europe
where in the deeds the sale of liquor
was prohibited. Crackers and timid
ones predicted that a total abstin
ence seaside resort only fifty miles
from New York could never be a sue
cess. The result has proved the con
trary. Asbury Park Is the social ant
commercial center Of the north New

FiGURES-AND FIGURES

At the banquet given in Chicago
by the Brewers association to Mr..
vopica, the newly appointed United
States minister to the Balkan States
and one of their own number, the
speakers attempted to show up their
business as one of the financial props
Of the country.
Among the statements made were
these:
l. The brewers own and operate
1.400 extensive plants, manned by 67,-
900 wage earners on whom 100000 de-
pend for legitimate livelihood and sup
port.
2. The brewers Of this country
have an invested capital Of 1910 ,00o,-
600. and the value OF their annual
products is 1915, 000. 900. They pay out
in wages and salaries annually $685.
000, 900.
3. They use annually 800, 100000
worth of grain and other materials.
Granting that these figures are cor

between the nation and the brewers

The fame Of James z. George is too
well known 10 ever the children Of the

interesting at this particular time. and
in view of present troubles with Mexi-
CO, to note that the service of Gen.
George to his country, as a soldier. be-
gan quite early In his youth OIL the c
casion Of war between this country and
Mexico in 1886. Not even the unusual
honor Of having been admitted to the
Mississippi bar for the practice Of law
at the youthful age Of 20 could chill his
aspiration to serve his country on the
field of battle, an ambition that more
or less stirred the heart of every youth
st that period. In 1886 Gen. George
enlisted in the Mississippi volunteers
and was with Jefferson Davis at Mon
terey and Buena Vista.
At the outbreak of the civil war Gen.
George organized his own company Of
which he was made captain. and served
both in Kentucky and Tennessee. He
was severely wounded, and captured at
C~ollierville, Tenn. and was imprisoned
on Johnson's Island, where so many of
u brave men died of disease and bad
treatment. After his release Gen.
George returned and Immediately Or
ganized the state troops at the very
critical period when the state was being
invaded by the strongest forces of the
federal army under Gen. U. S. Grant.

Gen. George was promoted to the rank

MEDIATION NOT BINDING.

weight Of their influence and perhaps
their decision with Mexico. If not with

To the writer it appears the Cour,
ier.Journal is unnecessarily alarmed.
While the United States and Huerta
have both accepted the offer Of media.
tim by the three South America -.
rublics. the terms proposed by the me-

therefore either may reject anything
which is considered objectionable. The
mediators Tar then amend their pro-
posed peace terms until both sides are
satisfied, If that be possible, and in the
event of aeceptsncy by both it will in.
deed be fortunate. because an smicabie
adjustment Of differences by mediation
is decidedly preferable To war.
The Commonwealth doubts that the
mediators will be successful In present.

but II they should, and war between
the Huerta government and the United

for Villa and Csrranza are yet to be
