WORKING PEOPLE
 PREFER JITNEYS

-The working people and most of the young peo&1e prefer the jitney- Fzderay people and ladies prefer the tfrouey." The statement of a Devon man correctly reflects the local sen- ktiment regarding the trolley-jitney situation there so far as a Times man twas able to determine from the an swers made to his inquiries It was .a1so learned that the people who Hive the year round in Devon are mnch more kindly disposed toward Lthe jitney as a. whole than the sum mer people. Nearly all of the latter tprefer the trolley
 One man said he was glad they are off. The jitney service is quicker. kbetter and the price is cut in half Ut was said that there are mo tie
 ups now' and that the jitneys get the workers --out in good shape in the morning" The most favorable es- iri1nate for the tro1leyS was that count would show an equal number flor and against them
 There is no doubt but that the tpeopls of Devon are bitter regarding tfhe trolley rates under the zone sxystem which was in effect when the cars stopped running -T paid IS cents once to ride out from Bridgeport but tnever-aEain if I have to walk every tstep of the way, said a small bus- finesS man and it was the op1n1on Iha1 Erof another that some way should be kfound to compel the trolleys to charge a five cent fare from Bridgeport to tDevDr A woman who complained Of Hhe crowding of the jitneyS asked II Lthe city could not run cars cheaper tand better for the company
 : All admit that with certain 1m- lprovernents the jitneys would be fav- [ore.d by a large majority but even tfhe out and out friends of the jitneys iconcede that if they are to be suc- .ressful there must be certain schanges. There is, for instance, much .corpplaint that the jitneys are not Lclean and that in many cases the
 driver is no better off in that respect tmand for a different type of driver and for no opercrowdins- It IS sa1d that no woman dares to ride on a 1ftney with a nice dress for fear or being crowded against the greasy clothes of eome workman Just our of a. shop Another complaint IS that there are no lights in many Of the
 busses nights and numbers of women
 do not care to ride in them on that account
 At present the service to and from
 the centre of Bridgeport to Devon IS
 maintained on a schedule of five m1n-
 s1te headway- It takes about haf an Lfo1Ir to make the run under oro1naIy
 conditions which is some fifteen mln-
 u1tes less than it took by trolley and
 the fare is ten cents.

LOCAL TRUCK
 IN A SMASH-UP

Milford, Aug H--There was an other automobile;crasho on the Milford turnpike yesterday afternoon at about .s:sO, but fortunately no one was se- iriously hurt The scene of the accl- Adent was just about 100 yards on the Orange township side of the line
 Two Ford delivery trucks belong ing to C. Hoyt of Bridgeport were drawn up on either side of the high way and abreast Through this mar trow space a touring car driven py Mrs Carl wyand of Waterbury and a heavy oil truck operated by Frank Lawson of 3s9 Stillman street, Bridge port, tried to pass in opposite darec- lions with the result that MT Wy tand's car was badly smashed with fhe entire side ripped off,
 1 With Mrs Wyand were Capt and Mrs Thomas Miller and Miss Ma rion Riggs, F years of age The lat ter was cut about the face by flying glass and was later taken for treat Ement to a doctor in Milford The lot11ers were unhurt-

LIGHTNING DID
 NOT COOK EITHER
 TREE OR APPLES

A delightful morning story related how one Mrs. Annie E. Byrnes of 25 Chapel street, Norwalk, had an ap- pie tree in her yard Said apple tree according to the story was struck by lightning during the storm yesterday m orning and the bolt thoroughly cooked all the apples on the tree Twas a peach of a story, so good in fact that it was sent on the wire and picked up all along the line and given a choice position in all the morning papers this moring. BUT and thereby hangs another tale!
 The Bridgeport Times being skep- tical on this freak of nature stuff, got in touch with Mrs. Byrnes this morn ing and she very ungraciously spoil ed -'the story of the day." Mrs. Byrnes emphatically denied that she had had any baked apples for break fast as the story said and that she had in no way benefited by the phe- nomenon outside of the fact that the tree had been struck and her hus- band had worked overtime last night to pick up the apples and figure out whether the firewood from the tree would equal the loss of the tree itself.

 The attention of Inspector Ellis of the Automobile department was at tracted about midnight Thursday night to an unlighted automobile standing on a highway in Warehouse Point. There was a woman sitting in the automobile MT. Ellis went to her and asked her to turn on the lights. He found the automobile was disabled and a nasty search disclosed five cans in the automobile which contained whiskey- MT. Ellis notified Chief In spector McMurtie and the officers dis covered near the side of the road and a short distance from where the auto mohile was stopped. 5 cases of gin and each case had 12 bottles of gin with the exception of one case which had six bottles The inspectors noti- fled Lieutenant Bridgeman. He went to Warehouse Point and arrested the woman and took possession of the gin and whiskey, and the automobile was taken to Hofcomb,s garage in Ware house Point
 The woman claimed she knew notla- ing about the liquor. in fact she did not know the liquor was in the ma chine. Her presence in the machine was due to an invitation she had re- ceived from Mosca to take a. ride. She said she had been living in New Ha- ven but about two months. The woman was brought to this city and l,a- fore United States Commissioner Frederic J. Corbett. charged with transporting liquor.

WHY BUSINESS SLACKS.

If you want to know why business seems to be stacking up a little, just study the habits of the people for the past two years.
 For instance, a. certain cotton dress was recently priced as selling in a metropolitan store for s90.O0. It cost just s1o.00 to make it. The same dress was sold in another store in the same city for $16.Oo. The first store would not have priced it for 5000, unless people were willing to pay it.
 In the centers \of luxurious spend ing for many months, the stores had to mark up their goods to sell them. The people have been spending their money instead of saltng 1t down where it could help carry on busi- ness. As a result capital Is scarce credit is strained, and many fac tories are shutting down because they can't borrow money at reasonable rates. The people must save their money and invest it wisely in order to keep business going.

w. J. BRYAN.

The ghost of Banquo has nothing
on the Honorable William Jennings
Bryan. Many times defeated, he
comes to life again with rush. The
newspapers look with varying solu-
tions upon his latest break into the
front page. Some credit him with
seeking the Democratic nomination
at San Francisco this summer; no.
body credits him with what is very
likely his real reason for coming
again into the limelight, namely,
genuine desire to advance the welfare
of his fellow man. We are no Bryan
ties. We think it would be a party
misfortune to nominate him for pres
ident, because the present outlook is
that he would repeat his past per-
formance and go down in defeat. But
for Bryan the man we have a great
deal Of respect. We do not mean to
say that we sanction everything he
has done, but he has performed many
noble acts for which he deserves the
thanks of the people, We did not
admire the way he showed the white
feather and left the Wilson cabinet in
a crisis, but we do admire his efforts
to secure peace in the world In the
present instance, though, we are of
the very candid opinion that Bryan

eradication of this iniquitous indus

people who will insist on drinking
concoctions that have alcohol in
them.
Prohibition and all other laws can
be enforced, but it will be the people
after all who will do most toward
achieving this end. officers can only
do what the people they represent
want them to do. When a majority of
the people of Bamberg county really
want prohibition enforced, the officers
will have no difficulty in doing it.
Court meets in Bamberg next week.
Will the liquor makers be allowed
to again pay their license to the court
and go scot free? 1t may be contempt
of court to stand up in the courtroom
and suggest to the court what ought
to be done, yet we are almost per-
suaded that if a number of good cit
liens should do it they would not
be punished.

Law ENFORCEMENT.

Last Friday night at midnight con-
stitutional prohibition became effect
i've throughout America. This was
an event that is memorable in the
history of the nation-an event that
has been the dream and hope of many
people for years and years. Now
that it is an accomplished fact, the
people of the country should unite in
it's enforcement. Even the most ra-
bid anti-prohibitionists concede that
if enforced prohibition is great
thing.
In the interest of good government,
it is the duty of every loyal citizen to
assist in bringing about usch heal
thy sentiment that prohibition will be
possible not only as law but in real
ity. Prohibition is possible only
when the people unite in desiring it's
enforcement.
It may be unfortunate for constitu-
tional prohibition that it becomes ef-
fective during this present era of un-
rest. From another viewpoint, rad
ical changes are so common now that
perhaps it may be the most opportune
moment for the appearance of this
law, which has been inevitable for
several years.
The people have seen what the bar
room is. The people of the nation
are, without a doubt, overwhelming
ly opposed to the further operation of
the saloon. Even states like New
York ratified the law by large ma
jorities.
But there is now very serious
danger to be faced-that of the Illicit
liquor dealer or maker. The charac-
ter of the stuff that is made by these
bootIeggers adds to the horror of this
situation. Whether you favor prohi-
bition or not, as a good citizen you
should lend your efforts toward the

is again on the wrong track. But to
revert to the starting point, Bryan is
a great personality. 1t seems a pity
that circumstances should be against
him.
