A BAR KEEPER’S EXPERIENCE
Former Proprietor of a Thirst Parlor Contributes an Inter
esting Article to a Magazine. Quit Business in Disgust.
In the January number of Me
[Clure’s Magazine appears a very
valuable and interesting article on
"‘A Saloon Keeper’'s Observation and
Experience in New York.” The ar
ticle is writen by a man of intelli
lgence, and evidently good moral
standing. He is doubtless a man
who. is entirely unprejudiced on
cither side of the prohibition ques
tion. He states that he got into the
business rather by accident, and got
out of it as soon as he could. His
conservative position on the absorb
‘ng topic of the day makes his views
21l the more valuable.
In the beginning it appears that
be answered an attractive advertise
ment for the sale of a saloon that
was alleged to be a very valuable
and paying piece of property. He
investigated the matter, and was en
trapped by the smooth persuasive
ness of tHe agent into buying the
property, only to find that he had
been badly swindled in the trade.
However, he decided to make the
best of a bad bargain, and at con
siderable expense finally succeeded in
equipping his saloon for business. It
happened that his saloon was located
in a thickly populated district, com
posed largely of working people and
foreigners, consequently he did a
good business during his short expe
rience. The first proposition he ran
up against was drunken barkeepers.
After trying several he finally suc
ceeded in employing one who was
fairly reliable and reasonably sober.
Then he relates his trying experience
with a brewery. The breweries in
the large cities consider the saloon
keeper nothing more than agents to
dispense their wares. It being their
object to squeeze them for all they
will stand.
Between the breweries, grafting
amployes and bad accounts the sa
loon keeper found that it was neces
sary to run on Sunday in order to
make any profit at all. He found
also that his business required prac
i OUT ON A $lO,OOO BOND.
'Allon Turner, Who Killed Jim Casey,
Allowed Bail by Judge Park.
‘ Allen W. Turner, Jr., who is un
‘der life sentence for killing Jim Ca
sey in Calhoun county, has been al
low bail by Judge Frank Park, the
new judge of that circuit, pending
‘a new trial that has been granted by
}the supreme court.
Bond was fixed at $lO,OOO, which
was readily given and the young
man released from jail.
A motion for a new trial was
denied by Judge Spence, who was
succeeded by Judge Park, and the
case went to the supreme court, and
Judge Spence reversed. This gave
young Turner a new trial. The re
mittur from the supreme court
reached Calhoun sevéral days ago.
This was followed by the application
for bail, and was granted as stated.
. WRITE POETRY ABOUT FITE.
Admirers of the Judge of Rome Cir
cuit Drop Into Verse.
Some days ago Mr. W. P. Hornady
of Dawson expressed his admiration
of Judge A. W. Fite of the Rome
circuit in the following verse, a copy
of which was mailed to the jurist:
Here's to my unknown friend, Judge
Fite,
Who is always on the side of the
right,
Fighting the devil with all his might
To rid our state of the liquor blight.
The Cartersville News printed
Mr. Hornady’s verse, and in the next
issue of that paper a Cartersville ad
mirer of the judge expressed him
self thus:
Here’s to my well known score of
years friend, Judge A. W. Fite,
Who “W. P. H.” thinks is ever on
the side of right,
Well “lined up’’ with those who fight
; Satan day and night,
In the great battle to rid Georgia of
the liquor blight,
And here’s to the very same unpur
: chasable knight
Now on the superior bench with ar
mor bright,
Shedding over our loved state a lum
inous light, ,
And who should next be called to a
supreme court height.
tically sixteen hours a day of his
time, that is from eight o’clock in
the morning until twelve at night.
This gave him no time at all for
recreation, scarcely enough for sleep.
He described graphically the deg
radation existing among the lower
classes in the large cities, this of
course, accentuated by their drink
ing habits. It seems that they all
drink—men, women and children.
Some of his customers drank as much
as four quarts of whiskey a day; few,
if any of them, less than a pint dur
ing twenty-four hours. Most of his
clientele were of foreign birth, and
their excessive drinking habits were
acquired in this country. Conse
quently the second generation born
here showed a distinct decline men
tally and physically, due to the dis
sipated habits of their parents.
After a short experience this par
ticular saloon keeper became thor
oughly disgusted, and sacrificed his
business for what he could get for
it. The result of the observation of
this whiskey dealer are, in a nut
shell, that the lower strata of hu
manity of the great cities of the
country, where population is con
gested, has sunk in some instances
to a level one can scarcely under
stand.
Many of them literally live on
strong drink. Possibly a large por
tion of them have lost all knowl
edge of sobriety. It is here that the
prohibitionists should put in their
work. It would be an absolute bless
ing to humanity if the temperance
workers could go among these class
es and make an effort to reclaim
them from the curse of strong drink.
It is true the work would be a
great deal harder than attempting to
establish prohibition in the smaller
communities of the south, but the
harder the work of reclamation the
greater would be the glory.
The drunkenness and degradation
existing among the lower classes of
the larger American cities is a blot
on our civilization, and should re
ceive the attention of our social re
formers.
$50,000 FOR TUBERCULOS CURE.

JURY VOTED SEVEN TO FIVE TO
SEND HIM BACK TO ASYLUM.
MANY FRIENDS PRESENT.
In an effort to secure the release
of Hon. George H. Bell of Emanuel
county, the author of the letter that
was printed in the last issue of The
News, from the insane asylum at
Milledgeville, the jury by a vote of
7 to 5 remanding him back to that
institution.
The trial occurred in Milledgeville
before the Ordinary of Baldwin coun
ty, and continued all day and late
into the night. It was on a writ of
habeas corpus used out by L. J. Kil
burn of Macon.
Attorney W. D. McNeil, who pre
sented the writ, stated that he would
carry the case higher, and that he
confidently expected Bell would be
released. The trial was exceedingly
interesting, as many men from
Swainsboro, Bell's old home, were
present, including his brother, Dr.
Bell, Judge Saffold and others. All
of these testified in behalf of Bell,
and Bell's statement was straight
forward. All experts a: the sanita
rium testified, and their evidence was
to the effect that Bell was laboring
under chronic delusions.
Conspicuous at the trial was Mrs.
Blanche Burton of Indiapapolis, who
was Bell's friend during the time he
was in the Georgia legislature. She
is furnishing funds, according to the
testimony, to push the case for his
release. !
Bell has been in the asylum nearly
three years, and claims that he is
wrongfully and illegally confined
there.
