in the United States. set for july l, will
mark the decision in America of one Of
the world S oldest and most fitterly con
tested issues.
Use Of alcoholic beverages probably
antedates all recorded history. And, al
though the first temperance society was
not organized until l7S9, advocacy Of
abstinence is little less ancient than use
of int0xieants.
Mahomed was among the original ad-
vocates OF prohibition.
USe-of distilled liquors did not become
prevalent in Europe till toward the close
of the seventeenth century.
Inception Of the temperance move
mcnt came 100 years later, but its de-
velopmcut during nearly two centuries
was very slow.
Liquor used in ancient times were fer
mented beverages.
Discovery Of the process of distilla.
tion is attributed to the Chinese, who
impaired the knowledge to the Arabs.
Spaniards got the secret-for it was
kept a secret for time-fIom the
Moors and in turn gave it to other Eur
opcan countries. Use of distilled liquors
in the old world became general and
drunkenness common.
Hard drinking in England came to be
regarded as a grave national danger. In
1885 a London grandiury held the tr6f
fie responsible for a great crime wa,,
and regulation of the liquor business by
law was instituted. Similar experiments
were in the meantime being made in
America.
The battle in the country against use
aud abuse of liquor began in mild way
as a protest in pulpits against drunken
ness A New England society went SO
far as to bind its members not to get
drunk except ON the Fourth Of July and
general training days,
Advocates of moderation gave way to
those who felt that only total absti-
nence was the remedy. Then the battle
began.
East Hampton L. l., in 1851 forbade
the sale of more than two drains of dis
titled liquor for immediate drinking.
The constitution of Virginia, 1876,
prohibited sales of wines and ardent
spirits, except in jamestown.
In 1850, Quakers abolished the habit
Of drinking at funerals.

mended that laws be passed. stopping

against the use Of intoxicants.
In l7S9 the first temperance society
was organized by 200 Connecticut farm
crs.
The first recorder demand for prohi-
bitiou was made by John Chalmers. Of
Nassau, y H., inl79j. 1t attracted lit
tie attention.
Ia 1927 1t was announced that 200
temperance societies had been formed
in rs states and that $4,000 men
pledged abstinence.
In 1883 il was estimated that 5000
temperance societies had l,2j0O00 mem-
bers.
State legislatures eOameneed TO pass
laws in an effort to limit the traffic.
The Illinois legislature enacted e local
option" law.
The first large temperance society
was founded in Washington = 1870.
Many others soon sprang into being.
Next Esign-the-pledge" wave swept
the country. This movement was given
its impetus by churches in America and
Great Britain.
By this time the liquor question HAD
become a great national issue in politics
Maine took a revolutionary step when
it adopted statewide prohibition in
1876 Other states swung into line.
But 72 years elapsed from the time
the first state voted liquor ourside its
borders before national prohibition was
ratified by 36 states
When congress passed the national
prohibition amendment, November,
1918, there were 33 "dry' states Sew
cral others were partially dry, with local
option laws in effect.

Secretary Wilson Invited

On motion of Gavin McNab, of San
Francisco, the conference voted unani-
mously to invite Secretary of Labor
Wilson, the temporary presiding officer,
to sit with the conference and advise
its deliberations.
Nomination Of Mr.. Lane as chairma n
Of the meeting was made by Frank
Morrison, secretary Of the American
Federation of Labor and chairman Of
the nominations committee. It was
seconded by Robert s. Brookings, Of
st. Louis, delegate for the public.
President Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, speaking on the
motion, said Secretary Wilson also had
been suggested for permanent chairman
and that organized labor's assent TO
Mr. Lanes election was in no way a
reflection on Mr.. Wilson.
Gompers Receives Applause
Mr.. Gompcrs said he deemed the
statement of labors attitude necessary
to dispel intimations that Mr.. Wilson
was displaced because of his sympathy
with the workers. The labor leader
was applauded as he seconded Mr..
Lanes nomination.
Replying, Mr.. Wilson said his whole
life had been devoted to the cause Of
the working man, but that he never
had thought any permanent good could
come from injustice. He declared the
conference was paramount to any per-
sonal issue and paid high tribute to
Secretary Lane.

TRAGIC DEATH OF MIR JOHN |. CARNEY

This continuity was inexpressibly
shocked to learn of the tragic death
OF Mr.. John L. Carney, which oc-
Cured at his home on the margin of
Lake Weir Thursday morning about
II o'clock.
AS near as can be ascertained, Mr..
Carney opened a bureau drawer for
the purpose of procuring a piece OF
wearing apparel, and in doing so a
pistol he had in the drawer fell to the
floor and exploded, the bullet pierc-
ing him in a vital point, killing him
instantly.
Mr. Carney was one OF the best
known men In this county, and one
of its cleverest and most popular cit
izens.
He was manager of the Carney In
vestment Company's orange grove,
the largest orange grove property in
the county ,and had just returned
from a trip to Pittsburg.
Mr.. Carney was the son of the late
John L. Carney. the pioneer of the
