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 ten beyond their ability.

Jeff Lane Talks, General Manager Lane, of the G, S. & Fla, has been in Savannah. Of course the ubiquitous reporter hunted him lip. Savannah expects the G. S, and F., to coinc to that city. The General Manager was lather non committal, hut admitted that it might. Here is the conclusion of the inter view : “Mr. Lane added that the Georgia Southern and Florida is arranging for the construction of a branch to Thom asville, from somo point, probably Tifton, on the lower part of the line The amount of traffic which the road has had since it began operation is phenomenal, and the business is in creasing all the time. The general manager said that the Georgia South ern and Florida people are just now too busy to begin the construction of many more enterprises.

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 er-Sun.
