which the audience was addressed in
a clear ami forcible stylo by Rev. Mr.
LaRoqhe. He brought out three dis
tinct classes, who are blamnble for the
great evil and magnitude of the liquor
traffic. First, the man who drinks;
second, the seller; third, those who
give their influence to the spread of
the evil. The last being by no means
a small class, and responsible in many
ways for the evils which they, them
selves, loudly condemn. Chief among
these are those who indulge a passion
for high living, keeping tip style, of

The amount of traffic which the road

The Bucket Shop Fiasco.
The failure of Sid Phelan’s bucket
shop and the probable adjustment of
the business transactions constituted
the theme discussed throughout yes
terday by speculators, brokers, and
merchants. It is the universal opinion
that but little will be realized by the
patrons, as there appears to be no as
sets. The effect of the “squeeze in
pork,” has been wide spreading. The
headquarters in Atlanta collapsed first,
then followed the branches in Colum
bus, Macon, Amcricus, Griffin, and
thc entire circuit. At Griffin a num
ber of speculators were in the deal,
and on the rise ol the market closed
out, standing them in$i;,ooo, but the
prospects of receiving the fruits of
their speculation are beautifully small.
Rome’s speculators scored a great
deal of money on thc deal, hut whether
they will get it is another matter. At
Atlanta, Americus and Nashville,
Montgomery and Selma, the bucket
shops met with a similar fate. Macon
will pay out dollar for dollar.—Enquir
