Alabama having Just been de
clared "dry" by statutory enact
ment. some Of the papers in this
State insist that the liquor traffic
should be put out of commission in
Florida by the same summary pro
cess, Tho cases are not similar.
There Is nothing in the Alabama
constitution to deprive the legisla
ture of complete control of the liquor
business, even to the extent of abol
ishing it by statute, but it is other
wise in this State, and the people
must vote directly upon the issue
before it can be determined. On this
subject the Miami Herald replying
to a contemporary, says:
"If that paper, and others Of like
mind and limited knowledge, will
turn to the last article Of the consti
tuition of the State Of Florida they
will notice that 1t says that not Of :,
tener than every two years, upon
the petition of a certain number of
qualified voters the county commits :
sioners shall call an election to de-
termine whether or not Intoxicating
liquors may be sold in that county.
The section is mandatory and means
Just what it says, that il certain
conditions are complied with the
election must be called, and the
courts would compel the commits :
sioners to call the election il they
refused Or neglected to do so under
q proper petition. That is the con :
stitution OF the State and cannot be
set aside by law passed by the leg
islature, which is a simple lesson in
law that many State editors ought
to learn"

Such bill may not pass, but It

THEY MISS Their HHAurAuauA

The value Of aasts6dard Chautau-
qua to comHynity is Of course not
disputed by;T thoughtful. we'll in
formed peopis. It is one Of the most
attractive and efficient forms of
education in the larger sense of the
word, and once an enlightened com
munity gets the Chautauqua taste
in its mouth 1t wants it always az
forwards. This is we'll illustrated
up in the nice little city Of Albany,
Ca, where they have acquired the
Chautauqua habit, but because Of
the financial risk this year they are
to have no exercises OF that kind.
A Georgia paper in commenting on
this. says:
ut is with regret that we read
that there will be no Georgia Chau-
tauqua' in the home of Chautauqua,
Albany. this year. For nearly thir :
ty years the annual Chautauquas
have been the literary and musical
events of the spring in South Geor
gia. To a certain extent they have
been the social events also. The
Chautauqua management has
brought to the people of culture
and literary taste of this section
leading men of thought of the ma :.
ton; leaders in politics, in Literal
ture, in music, in art: men and
women who have made the world
wiser and better for their presence.
For this We are indebted to the man
agement and for this as we'll as for
what we expected the Chautauquas
of the future to give us, we feel that
the loss Of Chautauqua this year is
a personal loss to every citizen of
this section"

VICTORY
FOR LOCALS.
In The Opening Baseball Game
Of The Season
Played With The KOrn Hatters
Sunday Afternoon
Twelve Innings Necessary To
Decide The Contest,
Sher Worked Well On Mound
For The Visitors
But Passed Ball By Sherman
Lost The Close Game

Three passed balls By Sherman of
the Korn Hatters of Columbus gave
Mt. Vernon the opening base ball con-
test of the season Sunday when after
twelve innings of gruelling and excit-
ing play, a run was finally nosed in,
making the score of 2 to /.
The game was one of endurance and
in this Bond probably held up little
better than Sher although he was
hit more frequently. In tight places,
he displayed his nerve to much better
advantage than his adversary on the
mound.
Excitement ran high at the opening
of the last half of the ninth inning.
Tiger struck out and went to first on
passed ball. Popejoy did the same
thing, Tiger taking second. A wild
pitch moved both up base and then
Sherman, as if to cap the climax, again
muffed while Schweitzer was batting,
Tiger coming in for the deciding run.
Thompson had flied out to Sher.
The game after the extra innings
had started was a question of both
teams sitting tight and waiting to take
advantage of possible breaks or mis-
plays. Sherman who is really an eX-
cellent back-stop. went right to pieces
after his first muff and lost the game
for his team
The previous score of Mt. Vernon
was made in the fifth. On j. Gleich's
error, Popejoy went to first He was
advanced to second by clean drive
over third by Thompson. Both moved
up a bag when Porter laid down
pretty bunt and Popejoy came in on
passed ball. Thus both runs were due
to Sherman's inability to hold up Sher.
With two down, F. Geich in the sixth
inning went to first on flelders's
choice and was driven in when MCGEE
hit into left field for two bases. This
was an earned run-something Meth
er of the locals was.
The game did not become exciting
until after the ninth inning Neither
team played with assurance. although
the work was far from loose. Base
runners took few chances, only one
base being stolen during the entire
game. Both pitchers worked hard
Bond striking out l2 men and on two
occasions working himself out OF plac-
es that looked like sure runs for the
Korn Hatters. Sher only allowed three
hits, Thompson getting two of these
and struck out nine local batsmen.
The grand stand and bleachers were
we'll filed and the base ball season was
launched in good shape. On next sun
