w. C. I. U. NOTES
EDITED BY THE LOCAL UNION.

A decided decrease Of crime in Fol- rest City.
 l20 drunks the record for three months with licensed saloons, while only occur in the corresponding months with no saloons.
 How often do we hear the express sion, We had just as well have the licensed saloons, for we have just as many drunks." The pity that we live in an age oi enlightenment and have citizens who claim intelligence yet are so grossly ignorant. To explode the statement we have just as many drunkS," we but ask you to go with us to the city's criminal docket. In the year 1905 we had licensed saloons. The following record is for the last three months of that year: October-Number of persons fined 45: amount Sl93: drunks r. November-N Number Of persons fined 95: amount S22S; drunks 66. December-Number of persons fined 66; amount Sll5; drunks 37. Total Number fined 206; amount S536: drunks l20
 This record was three years before sa- looms went out, hence no flushed con ditions-just what ordinarily exists where there are licensed saloons
 The following is record of the same months in the year 1913, five years after saloons were voted out: October-Persons fined 3l; amount sl25; drunks l.
 ember-Persons fined 10: amount SPA; drunks l.
 December Persons fined 23; amount 800; drunks ,.
 Totals Persons fined G4; amount $34l; drunks 1
 Compare the two records, and If there is any doubt in your mind as to the eXactness of them we only ask thOt you go to our mayors office and examine the criminal docket for the years and months named, as we have done, and be convinced that we do not have the drunks now that we had with open saloons.

N0udoo Medicine Man In the Tolls.

Walker West, colored who poses among his people as a voudoo doctor, was arrested Monday charged with practicine medicine without a license. It could not be proved that the doc. tor had ever charged his patients anything for his prescriptions or med lcmes. and this charge was dismissed Tn Squire Hodges court Tuesday But he bumped hard into trouble in another direction, when charge of pistol "tot'ng' was lodged against him. This otfense was easily proved, and West was fined $50 and costs. The arresting officer told Times man that this man had complete voudoo outfit when taken into cuseody. There were dried lizards and snakes, different kinds of hair wrapped with colored thread, teeth of animals, and other "skeery' paraphernalia used in casting spells" bringing bad luck or courting the smiles of the the vondoo spirits" The influence of such a fakir upon the superstitious negroes is wonderful. His threats are feared as nothing else on earth is feared by his followers, and the plainest proof will not convince them that he is a rank fraud

|. S. Mail Pouch Ritled,

A canvas mail pouch (tie sack was found Sunday afternoon in the rear of the unfinished Elks building on South Washington and South Front streets by several boys who were playing about the premises. The sack contained a number of newspapers addressed to parties in Texas, to- gether with a lot Of insured parcels, post tags and labels. The packages which had borne these tags and la bels had been rihed and only the wrappers left. The mail pouch was labeled from Marianna to Texas, and was dated December l9, 1913 Post master Hurley was summoned by one Of the boys, and took charge of the pouch and what was left of its con- tents. No one knows when or how the bag reached the Elks building, and no report of missing bag had ever been received here. The matter is a complete mystery. Everything or value had been removed by the looters.

Abused City License Privilege.

The banana man who had a car of fruit at the Iron Mountain depot is a thrifty soul, as was evidenced by the aplomb with which he essayed to double-cross the city treasury on Monday. He applied for and was granted license to pedde from wagon. He drove about the city for short time and then unhitched his horse at the corner of R. w. Benson X Co., store, thereby establishing a permanent stand. He also hired an other rig and continued peddling from a wagon, operating both under the same license. The city authori- this concluded this was rather giving them the "once over" and City Mar shal Davis put it up to him to aband- on one or the other He abandoned the stand.
