In a letter to ttie Florida legis lature from the Hon. Wn. JLi liryun, read recently before that' body, Mr. Bryan lias this to say on tlie whiskey question: The H%anr Question. "I will not discuss the liquor question because different phases of the subject are presented in different Metes, and I am hot sufficiently well scquainted with the situation in Florida to offer tulvice. I venture to say, how ever, that there is a reform j which ought lo receive the sup |>ort of all, no matter whether they believe iu prohibition or in the regulation of the liquor traf fic through the license system. The reform that i speak of is this, that the federal govern-1 inent should discontinue tliej irfsue of liceuses for the sale of liquor in territory where the iocul antliorities have prohibited the sale. No matter whether tlie prohibition operutes over'an entire Slate, acouuty a precinct orncity, whenever the local au thorities decide to prohibit the Mile of liquor, their decision ought to be res|>ected by the federal government, whereas to day tbe federal government elands ready lo go iulo partner ship with any persou who do aires to violate the local law. According to the terms of the partnership the government is to receive $25 for each license Issued, and the one paying the $25 for a liceuse to sell liquor where the local authorities pro liibit it takes the ohance of get ting enough to reimburse him for what he has paid the govern inent, und to give liiui a profit besides." Thin is well said, ajjd we agree with the writer iutoto. We will jTO even further and remark that the possession of a federal li cense by any person residing within prohibition, or liquor regulated territory to retail iu toxicaling liquors, should be made a misdemeanor punish able by a severe tine or imprison ment, or both. No sensible man will expend $25 for a license to retail wills Key without the hope of profit ing by it, and to profit, he must retail cuough intoxicants to re imburso him in tlio cost of the license and more in direct viola tion of the laws of his com ynuuity regulating, or prohibit ing its sale. In this connection we want to moralize a little on law in gene, ral. There are few laws 011 our statute books that meet with uni versal approval because of the fact that there. ar? many men of many minds, and it is almost hu impossibility to enact a law that will ploase everybody. Take the laws relating to crimes by which those convicted mast aaffer capital puuishmeut toy hanging, or the electric oliair. There are many (of whom we ure one) who do not approve of tl)<*t w. Still it is the law and ie|M)lltoted aasuoh. We believe '?B^torUrae is coining when ?a^Mh|>uiiishment will be abol isMI In this, and every country. As U> ourself, we have never been able to see that the taking of a life by legal process for a lifo unlawfully taken has in any ?ingle instance taught a moral lesson, or any other kind of a losson. It is merely the cutting off of a life that Qod gave for Ms own wise purposos, and which we hold that 110 man has the right to take. In a week or ? month at best, the victim of the law is forgotten, und the ex. ample intended to be made has bocomo lost in the dim obscurity of the past. Wo crave the pardon of our readers for this digression from the regular subject of this edi torial. written okhodi fti^ of }Mt. PrOuibliiealsta claim 1 think rightly) llwtouunUei and States that hurt prohibition ere mora pros parous tlian those that > hire dispensaries or ter-rooM. It is reasonable that this should be ao. The money that is spent j for whiskey Is instead devoted to ihe*purcbase of food, clothing aud other necessaries of life that otherwise could not be obtained. This is only a pecuniary view to take of the question. If you take also into consideration the moral and religious aspect of it, surely uo right thinking person will advocate the sale of whiskey as agaiust its sale. What is a inau or woman lit for who is always uuder the in fluence of the . demou, drink? They ure tit neither for earth or heaveu. I regret to have to in clude woman as addicted to this terrible habit, but alus, it is too tfQe that many of them indulge In it. What good can any father of mother expect of their children iu ufter life when they set before tlieui the example of intemperance? You meu, go to the ballot box iu the coming election and vote whisk9y out of your State and county for the good of the risiug generation, aud tlu entire com munity. Those who favor the sale of whiskey, do so, as a rule, not from a moral stuud|toint, but plead the revenue that is de rived from its sale. My dear friends, from whom does the money come that furnishes that revenue? From the people of course and it is safe to say that a large number of these who drink spend more for whis key than thev do iu the sup port of their families or in regular taxation. Again it is said that under prohibition money will bo seut out of the county und State to buy whiskey which now stays with us. What of it? Who wants to keep iu operation a system of revenue that is the price of soul and body, and the happiness of out fellow men? Do away with the sale of whiskey, and bring our old State out triumphant from under the bun from which she has so loug suffered. So mole it be. E 8. M. MEAT SENT TO SOAP PLANT. Food Condemned by Greenville lnttpector Shipped to Switt & Co.'m A tlaiit>? Factory. Greenville, May Bi.1i. ? The warehouse full of nieulbelonging to Swift, & Co. /which was recent ly condemned here by Inspector Smith, was shipped to Atlanta yesterday to be used in a soap factory. The consignment wns loaded here by the health au thorities and the inspector's seal placed on the car. The health officer at Atlanta was notified and he wired Dr. Smith that ho would take care of the meat when it got there and see that it was placed in the tanks under his own supervsion. The condemning of this lot of meat falls heavily on the pack ing concern, and the Swift rep resentatives have acted most fairly in the matter, following in detail every instruction of the authorities here. Future Life of Man Should lie IRd Years. Now York, May 7.?John K. Gore told the Actuaries' Society ol America, of which he is presi dent, at its twentieth annual meeting, that he sa^r no reason why the future life of man should not be 150 years. "Careful study of the com bined effect of tuberculosis and other preventable diseases would show that with these dis eases eliminated the limiting age of man could be extended to 150 years and higher," he said. "It is not unlikely that the limiting age of man lies some where near 150, and that he is now prevented from attaining that age by the presence of a multitude of factors which aie coming to be recognized as pre ventable.

The eata was reversed because "bosi ness .men" were on the jury. Tli* farmer hss no aense of jus tice because be isn't a "business man'." ? Wouldn't that make a saw horse laugh? I wonder how much capital was represeuted by that jury of "business men," and then 1 wonder how much capital was represented by the farmer jury that was turned down. You can't much blame the world for thinking the farmer is not a business man when he him self doesn't think so. Do you keep books so that you kuow the cost of production and itie profits from this and that? The farmers manage '.arge business interests uud they should be business men in their methods. Because so few are it misleads the public into thinking that farmers are merely day laborers. ? There are exceptions that stand out conspicuously. When Governor Patterson died the mantle fell 14)011 the farmer! Lidutenuut Governor A. L. Har ris. He received the oath of office at his farm in his averalls. But he was no less a man of affairs for that. There are thousands of men furmiug a little patch of ground ueltiug up in the '.housuuds of dollars. They know every do tuil of expeuse uud income. Are they not business meti? I believe that fewer men fail at fanning than any other busi uess. Il has largely been due to a kiud Providence, but the day is uear at hand wheu far mers must rely somewhat ou their own skill aud judgment. Provideuce isn't going to al ways pay the soil robber. Be uevoleut nature will some day quit her charilable work?then farmers will be farmers, a sur vival af (he fittest. Did you ever notice that every time there, is a couventiou of merchants of auy kind they "re solve" against the parcels post? Fact, too, and they not only re solve but tight the thiug by let ters to their Congressmen. We farmers just look on. The Congress that closed March 4th refused to even try the parcels post experiment in two counties. A/raid it might hurt the prolits of the express com panies. Bah! Who's running things? the people or the express com* panies? It remains to be seen. It costs something to spray the fruit trees and potatoes but it costs more not to. And I can't see why so few farmers realize this. Long experiments in spray ing potatoes show a net profit of about $8 an acre in favor of spraying. Isn't $3 worth going after? Lack of equipment costs more than we think. We are often penny wise and pound foolish. We lose lots of injney in not getting all we cau fion the land. The truck farmer has us "skuo a mile" in that re?poct. While we are skimming over half the earth and getting small returns ho is diligently scratch a small patch and making every foot of it produce one, two or more crops. He farms little but well, he farms in a two story-unci cellar way?root crops, surface crops and bush and tree crops. There's no hurry about turn ing the cows out to pasture. I know they are in a linrry to gel a green bite, and you arc anxious to be rid of some bother, but wait. The thing to do is to put up a silo and then it doesn't mat ter when they go to grass.
