But it is a sad bunch that remain
in Nassau. They are Only those who
established warehouses and facilities
of a permanent nature while rum
running was at its height.
The free traders have gone to
Bermuda and Havana. The big
dealers are shipping direct from
Europe. They buy heir whisky
and other beverages where they are
produced, ship them to Hamburg,
Germany, Gree port, where they
are transshipped in steamers bound
for Rum Row" off tie American
coast, without the payment of any

Of hilarious rum-runners with mock

In the gossip runs the thread Of
the ease of rum smuggling.

One half-drunken nun 1dnner
said, For so cents case | could

Norman Butler, supercargo or
one of the boats of the Critters one
of the largest wholesale and retail
liquor dealers in Nassar, told me
that liquor running in small boats
is not so good any more 1t takes
too much time waiting FIR the shore

best way is to see the right parties

can bring your ship into port and
discharge her cargo at dock with
g guarantee of freedom from inter

The decreasing business of Mas
sau is not due to a slackening in
the demand from the arid coast TO
the west, but to the greed of the
New Providence government itself.
With the springing up of the
vast re-export trade in liquor, tev
of IA shillings ($3.59) per case
was imposed. With the fabulous
prices paid in the United States
this was mere trifle to the rum
runners. They paid without a

William M. McClintocl,, known as
the Millionaire orphan" who died
as his fiancee waited at his bedside
with a marriage license.
1t was a race between death and
love, and death won-the last time

been long enjoyed by The holder.
McClintock and Miss Isabelle
Pope had been sweethearts since
school days. He attended Dart

which had come to him only seven
months ago. Then he fol i'll and
he and Miss Pope planned to wed in
the hospital. She obtained the mar
riage license but death interviewed.
Young McClintock was the fifth
whose life was cut shot before the
fortune was enjoyed long but it is
reported he had remembered Miss
Pope in the will he had executed a
few months ago.

Cost prices began to figure lii the
rum-runners' caiculatlors.
1t was at this time that the as
sembly of New Providence took the
step that has partially killed the
goose that laid the golden egg"
They raised the re-export tax to
"a shillings ($6) a case, one Iegi-
slator remarking that we can
charge what we please. The boot.
logger has to buy his liquor h e."
An American, one of the leading
rum-runners whose purchases ran
from 1000 to 10000 cases per week,
heard the debate. He tuCk the next
boat from Nassau with the state
ment that 1 have bought my last
case of liquor in the Bananas" SO
far he has kept his word.
Other big dealers followed his
lead. a.
Frantic at the slunping liquor
revenues, the New Providence as
sembly repealed the increased tax,
but the damage had been done.
Custom reports for the three
months ending June 80. 1924, show
the falling off, in thar the rack
ports for the period totaled $4f6 :
$50 as against $2,184,775 for the

DRIED RIGHT UP
BY THIS SULPHUR

Any breaking out of the skin, even
fiery, itching eczema, can be quickly
overcome by applying a little Mentho-
Sulphur, says a noted skin specialist.
Because of its germ destroying proper
ties, this sulphur preparation instantly
brings ease from skin irritation, soothes
and heals the eczema right up and
leaves the skin clear and smooth.
O It seldom fails to relieve the torment
and Disagreement. Sufferers from skin
trouble should get little jar of Rowles
