LIGHTNING PLAYS
HAVOC WITH HOUSE

Hampton, Oct. 6-Not only the
weather Is serving freak variety, but
lightning, too, gave residents here a
demonstration Of its ability during the
severe thunder shower that passed
over this city.
The fluid seems to have first struck
an electric light wire in that vicinity,
and more or legs of its effects were
noticed all about the neighDorhood.
The most severe damage, however,
was done at the home of ]. J. Sharpe.
Following an especially severe thun-
der clap, Mr.. Sharpe went to the attic
to see that all was well. He found
no trouble there, but members OF the
family soon began to see manifesto
lions of the work Of the bolt, and call
ed for him to return.
Fire was seen to play about pro-
miscuously in different parts OF the
rooms, especially near the switches.
Streams Of flame jumped across the
switches. This continued for half
hour or more afterward, at Intervals.
The fire was so severe at one point
that spade was required to open
switch, and at another place it is said
that a porcelain binding post was
melted, requiring temperature OF
600 degrees. It is probable that the
protective devices were not in proper
working order.

THE An SALOON
GIVE s A WARMING
TO LIQUOR DEALERS
NOW THAT LAW IS DECLARED
TO BE CONSTITUTIONAL, THE
LEAGUE SAYS 1T WILL BE EN-
FORCED.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


Jacksonville, Nov. 21.--Following
the announcement of the opinion of
the supreme court at Tallahassee de-
claring the Davis law constitutional,
DR.. C. w. Crooke, superintendent of
the Anti Saloon League of Florida,
gave out statement warning liquor
dealers of the wet counties of the
state that. it is the purpose of the
league to see that the law is enforced
to the letter in every particular.
Copies of the statement are being
forwarded to all dealers in the state.
1t reads as follows:
"Until the Davis law was declared
constitutional the Anti-Saloon League
has taken no steps for the enforce
ment of the same, but now that the
supreme court has spoken, the Anti
Saloon League and, we believe, the
people of the entire state, will ex-
pect the observance of the Davis law
the same as they expect the observ-
ance of any law upon the statute
books.
"We enclose herewith copy of the
Davis act and beg to advise that we
are calling the attention of the coun-
ty sheriff and solicitor to the report
ed violations of
Section 1 (draught beer being sold
| in quart jars and cans, sealed only
with adhesive paper slips), and
"Section 5 (some dealers opening
| for business before a. n.y., and
"Section (some dealers providing
other premises with the intent to de-
feat the policy of this act), and
"Section 9 (some dealers not YET
having taken down screens, blinds
partitions, and seats-and they allow
loitering.)
THE Anti-Saloon League does moi
want to give any dealers unnecessary
trouble, but begs to call attention tt
Section Is of the Davis act, which
reads:
"'That any person violating any Of
the foregoing provisions of this ac'
shall be deemed guilty of misde
meanor and upon conviction thereof
his license shall be forfeited and hs
shall be fined not more than 81 ,00t
or be imprisoned in the county jai
not exceeding twelve months
: "The Anti-Saloon League feels tina
it should be understood by all tina
every possible means will be used b,
our organization to effect the stric
observance of the Davis act from
now forward"

To Their Credit.
The Tampa Times wants to know of
one single instance-just one-in
which Comptroller Knott acted in the
interest of the whole people as
against a special interest The Re-
porter-Star happens to know of at
least one such instance, and we doubt
not that others might be brought
forth. It was when the school books
were adopted under the uniformity
act. A great fight was made by the
American Book Company to retain its
strangle hold on the educational in
terests Of Florida. Knott, Trammell,
McLin and Crawford helped to pry
the moster loose. This should be
marked down to the credit Of all who
had part in it.-Orlando Reporter
