MUSIC AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR
WHISKEY.
\ Now that prohibition is an actuality
there is a large quota of our
population seeking some sort of substitute.
Among this number are
those who were out-and-out wets?
stayed more or less saturated all the
time?and those who believe in pro
hibttlon, yet wften tney couia get
whiskey, drank it for what it furnished
them?stimulation. All sorts
of substitutes have been suggested
and tried out, from the raisin to the
grave, via the "rotgut" route. But
the most unique, so far recorded, is
music.
It takes no far stretch of the imagination
to picture a "jazz" jag.
'But does a bridegroom depend on
Mendelssohn's strains to dull his
? senses so that he may complete the
ceremony in blissful intoxication?
If so, more consideration is shown
the poor fellow than tradition admits.
Frederic J. Haskin, well known
writer, has the following to say on
the question of music as a substitute
for alcohol:
"It is complained that in the im
mediate past wnen tne swinging doorj
was still a conspicuous feature of<
our large cities our concert halls j
were sadly devoid of male listeners.
While most of the musicians were
men, their audience were almost
completely women. Musicians themselves
will tell you that they would
have to give up their art and open
grocery stores or something if it
were not for the women of the na
tion. Obviously, the majority of
American men share the view of the
distinguished novelist who, upon be- 1
ing questioned as to what he thought <
Of music, said. "Oh. see no harm in i
-v it"
"But now the mourners of the late 1
John are requested to take the ques- 1
tion of music as a solace under ad- J
visement. Why, they are asked, <
have women been such ardent devo- i
tees of music? It is admitted that i
there are cases which seem to point ]
to this conclusion. For example, the s
i famous singer, Malibran, was so ov-!:
ercome with emotion the first time 1
?ehe heard Beethoven's Faith Sym- 1
phony that she swooned, and had to
be carried out of the hall. Then there i
was the case of Berlioz, who swore
that he became absolutely intoxicated
upon hearing certain pieces of ?
music.
"In descrbing his symptoms of intoxication,
he wrote: "My vital
forces seem at first to be doubled. I
feel a delicious pleasure in which
reason has no part; my arteries pulsate
violently." Then come tears, j
"followed by spasmodic conditions
o' the muscles, trembling in all the
limbs, a total numhnpss in -fo?+
... ,? ?,,
and hands, paralysis of the optic and j;
auditory nerves?vertigo? almost',
swooning." j ]
"It is suggested that music as a
means of intoxication has one ad- ,
vantage over alcohol in that it pro- ,
duces no depressing after-effects. On
the other hand, the victim is rejuve- j
nated and refreshed. Plato wisely ]
asserted that music cleansed the soul <
as a bath did the body. Since Plato's .
time the psychological effect of mu- 1
sic has been carefully studied, and
as a result music is now being intro- ,
duced as a therapeutic measure into
a large number of hospitals. In the
Japanese-Russian war, the beneficial ,
effect of music on wounded soldiers ,
was noticed and studied, while in the ,
European war it was a common oc- j
currence to have wounded men ask
for music before drink or medical
help."

GOOD ROADS. 1
1
That the people of Abbeville I <
County are greatly interested in the
question of the $1,000,000 bond is- (
sue for good roads in this county is
evidenced on every hand. A number
of prominent farmers in the city '
I
J
Saturday expressed themselves ra>hatically
as in favor of a system of
jood roads throughout the county.
Senator J. Howard Moore and
Supervisor "W. A. Stevenson are both
n favor of good roads and the peojle
of Abbeville are overwhelmingly
for the project. Senator Moore
ivanis an expression from the enrolled
voters of the county in order to
:arry the matter before the next
meeting of the legislature as coming
+>1/1 Tkprmlf*. If a maioritv of
voters want good roadB there will be
no difficulty in getting a bill introduced
in the legislature authorizing
the isssuing of the bonds.
It is very probable that in the
near future meetings will be held
throughout the county for the purpose
of ascertaining definitely the
sentiment of the citizens. ThiB will
be followed by a straw vote or a petition
in order to get the voters' expression
in some concrete form.
