it Might Cost That in Maine,
But It Doesn’t
.
But They Are Not Rigidly Enforced.
After Fifty Years’ ‘arial People of
the State Haven't Made Up Their
Minds About It.
In Maine a single drink—and one
of poor whiskey at that—may cost
$5,000. It isn’t so expensive to buy
a 5 to sell. The penalties which have
peen piled up by the lawmakers for
that read like a modern Inquisition.
ror selling a single drink a man
could be indicted on ground of search
and seizure, common seller, nui
cance, drinking house, and tippling
shop, and could be fined $4,000 or
$5,000 and kept in jail for years.
But in spite of the most rigorous
prohibition laws in the country there
is a good deal of questions as to
Maine's real prohibition ' position.
That the laws are constantly evaded
¢ a matter of common knowledge.
Their existence on the statute books
has bred many queer incidents in
their evasion. One effect has been
to bring into existence a form of in
toxication peculiar to Maine which
§ commonly called the = jaky
Irunk.” It is most frequently met
n rural districts, where various in
toxicating ‘‘medicines’ are sold; and
@s the name implies it results from
copious consumption of fiery Jamai-
Ga:-gluger,
A Maine man, Holman Day, who
has observed the working o. the laws
for the past twenty years, confesses
in the August number of Appleton’s
Magazine that these laws have be
come wholly political, and have no
longer a moral bearing. Summing
1p the matter he asserts that the re
sults of recent political campaigns
have shown that ‘‘the folks of Maine
wanted prohibition, but didn’'t want
it enforced.”
How true this opinion is has been
evidenced by the continuity with
which the prohibition laws have been
<ept on the statute books, and even
made more stringent while at the
same time all sorts of means of evad
ng them were openly tolerated.
Maine, for instan'ce, has developed a
rapid transit system so rapid that it
“dn transport a case of liquor from
Boston to” the home of the thirsty
Maine man in half an hour.
Numerous so-called express com
pvanies which have sprung up in vari
'us parts of the state, primarily for
e purpose of expressing liquor from
Joston to Maine points whenever it
wight be ordered, have now reached
the point of keeping a stock of wet
£oods on hand. A customer order
‘g a case of beer, for example, is
mmediately supplied from the stock
m hand, his order being used simply
to kux;\ the >|l‘)l,l}- up.
11‘1 various cities the Bangor plan
s followed. A certain number of
aces are allowed by the officials to
‘lSpense liquor., Twice a year the
broprietors are arrested and fined—
the amount with costs added being
»110. This really amounts to noth
g more than a conveniently low
Ifense. Like all good things, how
“ ”‘li»‘? was carried too far, as Mr.
_Aflter the Bangor plan got start
“d” he says, “doing its snug little
business all over Maine, the sheriffs
1 a number of counties over
‘eached and made it a bit too snug.
In some counties, with his profits
from the board of prisoners, his fees,
and his ‘side business’ the sheriff
‘leaned up from $20,000 to $25,000
4 ¥ear, which is pretty good for rural
Maine, The salary of the governor
of the state ig $2.000!

EYELASH PLANTING A NEW TORTURE
Endured by Women for Beauty's Sa
: Their Eyelids and Br
“Planting” eyelashes is the latest
torture which women endure forl
beauty’s sake. The operation, which
is both delicate and painful, is thus
de?cribed in the Paris “Health Jour
nal:”
“A long hair is singled out of the
patient’s head. A needle is threaded
with it and forced in and out of the
minister to be high sheriff, but strict
enforcement was so little to the taste
of Androscoggin, after it had been
tried, that the county went demo
cratic when the minister was re
nominated—the county’s first politi
cal overturn-in twenty years./ AS 9§
matter of fact the county did not
want enforcement. The voters had
simply got mad because under the
Bangor plan sheriffs had ‘been doing
too well financially.’ ”
That prohibition has done Maine
much good is Mr. Day's conclusion.
And yet he says: “It is almost a
waste of time to go about asking
Maine mer what they think of the
law as a good thing for Maine. To
be perfectly honest, we folks in
Maine haven't made up our minds.”
FREE SCHOLARSHIP.
An Unparalleled Proposition Made
By the Athens Business College
of Athens, Ga.
We teach the famous Byrne Sim
plified Shorthand and Practical Book
keeping systems, so vastly superior
to others that the claims we make
for them seem almost incredible.
We make this free scholarship offer
to convince the most skeptical that
the Byrne Simplified Shorthand,
Practical Bookkeeping and Business
Training are all that we claim. We
offer a free scholarship to anyone
who will find a single individual who
ever finished the Byrne Simplified
Shorthand, then laid it aside and
took up another system and became
2 successful writer of the latter in
preference to the Byrne. Hundreds
have abandoned Pitman, Graham,
Gregg, Cross, etc., for the Byrne.
We will teach any young person
with a common school education who
will attend our school and do good
average work for three months to
write legibly 150 words of unfamil
iar matter, court reporting, to the
minute, in the Byrne Simplified
Shorthand, and transcribe @ same
neatly on the typewriter, or make
no charge for the course. If you
will find any other school in the
United States using any other sys
tem of shorthand that will do this
we will make you a present of the
course.
With the Byrne Practical Book
keeping and Business Training we
make the student a more proficient
accountant and business man in half
the time required with other sys
tems in other schools. Our work is
all taught on the plan of learn to
do by doing; our scnool room is a
miniature city, transacting business
in a business way; our students are
using the various books and records,
notes, deeds, drafts, mortgages, etc.,
just as they will use them in the
best regulated business offices. Our
school room is one of practical busi
ness training, and not theory.
For catalogue that will convince
vou of the wonderful superiority of
the famous Byrne systems address
the Athens Business College, Athens,
Ga.

RUN TRAINS BY ELECTRICITY.
e
Owner of Central of Georgia Will
Thus Operate Some of His
Western Lines.
Mr. Harriman is preparing, so it is
announced, to change the motive
power of some of his Western moun
tain lines from steam to electricity,
generating the electrical curents at
falls and rapids near the railroad
lines. Upper Georgia offers a prom
ising field for development along
similar lines. In the northern and
middle parts of this state there are
mountain streams and rapids that
would give power enough to turn
every trainwheel in the state and
leave besides thousands of horse

mills and manufacturing establish
ments. The state geological survey
has only recently published an ex
haustive bulletin on the water pow
ers of Georgia showing hundreds of
available waterpower sites capable of
developing tens of thousands of
horsepower.
CURES LIGHTNING BURNS.
Sun's Rays Saves Man Whose Flesh
Had Been Cooked.
Although stricken three weeks ago
while driving home behind a heavy
team of horses, with his ear drums
both so badly injured that recovery
was thought hopeless, by a bolt of
lightning which struck him on the
forehead, cooked the cuticle and part
of the flesh on his side and breast,
Ralph Martin of Rosalia, Wash., is
now able to hear words spoken to
him in a moderate tone. The won
derful cure was effected by simple
exposure to the sun’s rays.
The man’s features will be but
slightly blemished, only a small scar
remaining. The treatment which has
been given Martin was simply lying
at full length in the open air, his
face covered with a piece of flimsy
gauze, and his body but lightly cov
ered with a spread, allowing as much
fresh air and sunshine to reach him
as possible. The bolt which struck
Mjrtin killed one of his horses and
dazed the other, the horse now be
ing in a state of dementia. .
BANK CALLED DOWN.
Macon Institution Had Contributed
to Two Public Causes.
For having donated a small fund
to the state fair and another to the
labor day exercises one of the lead
ing national banks of Macon has re
ceived a call down from the control
ler of the currency in Washington
advising that persons making such
donations of bank funds over which
the national treasury has supervision
would under the law Dbecome per
sonally liable,
The nation:l banks of Macon have
had a custom of giving to such en
terprises often and the matter com
ing up was a new one for the bank
officials. It was stated in the call
down that the funds of a national
bank could only be used for expenses
and for dividends.
GOVERNOR HAD NO VOICE.
Could Neither Approve Mor Veto New
Pension Bill.
The service pension bill, giving a
pension to all veterans who own less
than $1,500 worth of property,
neither received the approval or dis
approval of Gov. Smith.
As it is a constitutional amend
ment it will be submitted to the peo
ple for ratification at the general
election, and the governor had no
voice in the matter. His only duty is
to advertise the amendment as re
quired by law.

Mutiny Is Threatened at Many of
the Camps in the State.
GUARDS FEAR FOR THEIR LIVES
Convicts Have Been Stirred Up by
Newspaper Reports of the Investi
gation. Many Recent Escapes, and
Wardens Say a Dangerous Con
dition Exists.
A state of smoldering mutiny or
insurrection exists in nearly all the
convict camps of the state, accord
ing to persons closely connected with
the prison department, says an At
lanta dispatch. Dangerous men are
escaping every day, through the lax
discipline brought about by the in
vestigation now on and the condem
nation of guards and wardens who
have been forced to apply the lash
or use the gun in cases of recalci
trant criminals which it has engen
dered. The situation, as reliably re
ported, is one of possible extreme
danger—with guards and wardens in
constant fear of their lives and hun
dreds of desperate criminals, en
couraged by recent incidents in their
favor, threatening to arise and over
power and maybe murder those un
der whose care they have been
placed.
Since the present investigation be
gan fourteen men have escaped from
different convict camps of the state.
Three of them were men serving life
sentences for murder.
Quit Work in Muscogee.
On Friday of last week three men
quit work at the camp of the Musco
gee Brick and Terra Cotta Company
and walked away almost in the face
of the wardens and guards. Two of
the men were convicted murderers.
The officers, threatened on one side
by a mutiny on the part of the entire
camp, and on the other of being
hauled before the investigation com
mittee and possibly prosecuted, did
not dare to commit a homicide in
order to prevent escapes.
Fourteen escapes in one month is
not a record, but it is far above the
average. The number of long-term
men who have gotten away is a rec
ord one. Another significant fact in
connection with recent incidents is
that most of the men who have got
ten away are new prisoners. Some
of them were familiar with the de
tails of* the investigation when they
were incarcerated. Others had not
been in the camps long and still re
tained the daring of the free crimi
nal.
Fear For Their Lives.
“The deputy wardens and guards
are in constant fear of their lives,”
said one who is familiar with the
situation. “They are afraid to take
the stern steps necessary to ward off
danger. If they were to severely
whip one or two of the ring-leaders
they would be hauled before the
committee and held up to scorn and
maybe prosecuted. If they were to
shoot one who was attempting to
escape the act would probably lead
all the others to rebel, besides sub
jecting the warden or guard to prob
able prosecution for murder. Their
hands are practically tied. There is
barely a one who would not be glad
of an opportunity to resign. If it
were not for the investigation and
the fear that to quit would be con
strued as a confession of guilt T be
lieve most of them would get out of
the danger zone today.”
Only a few days ago three men
escaped from the camp of the Bibb
Brick Company, where Warden Gary,
who is recognized as one of the most
careful and competent in the service
of the state, has charge. One of the
escapes is a murderer with a life
sentence hanging over him.

‘“Peruna has been a blessing to our
family for a good many years, as we
have all used it off and on for colds and

children with the best of results.
“I found that a cold left me with
catarrh of the head in a very bad form.
My head was stopped up, I had frontal
headaches, my eyes bothered me, and
there was a nasty dropping in my
throat which nauseated me and made
it impossible many tin.es for me to eat
my breakfast.
“Assoon as I began to use Peruna I
found it relieved me, my head soon
cleared up and in a remarkably short
time I was rid of catarrh.
