One of the most striding refer- J ences is that made recently in the Frankfurter Zeitung. a daily paper pub lished in Germany. It was clipped and sent to Tho Herald by Mr. John R. Schneider, who, in company with Mrs. Schneider, is spending a vacation in the eld country, and expected home by the first of November. The clipping fol lows : PROHIBITION. An American Comedy. Opportunity makes thieves. So aloes thirst. This is plainly shown now when we consider the prohibition that is now sweeping the Unted States. Wo could lescrbe hundreds of new methods where alcohol drinks are being obtained throughout th* prohibition states re gardless of the existing laws. it Has been proven time and time again that the stricter the laws prohibiting the traf fic, the more anxious are the crowds to procure the fluid and the larger the profit for the man who sells it.

It has been done time and again, where for the sale of one drink of whiskey the highest penalty has been accessed by the courts, which means a fine of $5,000 and several yours in the penitentiary. The most drastic laws and punishments, however, have served to no purpose, but to increase the sale of alcoholic drinks. A journalist residing In Maine writes for Appleton's magazine certailn con sequences of the law there, as follows: In certain cities in Maine the citizens no attention whatever to the law, <.ue to the fact that the law is contrary ’o public opinion in these cities. In these cities the authorities send for t':u* ' dealers twice a year and assess them a small nominal fine, after which they go along for six months. They regard .he fine as a license. In the country districts of Maine tu tolls of‘lots of salesmen of patent trick umbrellas. Those umbrella dealers al ways carry some few nmoung their stock with extra large rods and hand le and by unscrewing the device a drink of whiskey can be procured from the dealer at. any time. In a small city of Maine a detective who had been employed by the prohi bitionists saw a carpenter crossing and re-crossing the street with his tool chest. His suspicions were aroused and he seized the chest. It was four d to have a double bottom and was another |i ew device for selling whiskey in <i j prohibition town. The telegraph companies in prohibition t-"rijtories handle lots of cipher mes sages, for instance, as follows: "Kx ptoss us at once -4 large and 19 small dictionaries and 12 hair mattresses. Translated into plain English this is an order for 24 large and 19 small bottles of whiskey and 12 bottles of wine pack ed in straw*. In several Southern states prohih.ition is a new thing. In these states they have invented a drink called prohibition beer, which foams, looks and smells like gumbrinus. Should .t stranger come Into on? of these places where refreshments .*re sold or a man upon whom any sus picion rests, this kind of stuff is sold to him. the initiated and the man who is known is served with the true Juice of the barley, good old beer as of old. To procure whiskey the customer steps into the back yard and lays a dollar, on a certain well known spot and re lurns in about five or ten minutes and 'inds a kind of booze that will do him for a while. Druggists are doing a big business in prohibition states for they sell whiskey on prescriptions procur <i from the demical fraternity. In some places the druggist keeps prescriptions on hand filled out and signed to save the eurtomer the trouble of hunting up a | doctor. All that is necessary *n thes» eases is the filling in of the patient's name and that is done by the druggist. Fearing such breaking of the laws., i the state of Oklahoma has prohibited :be handling of alcoholic drug stores. They have appointed state agents for the f.’Mng of prescriptions. A prescription must be signed by a doctor and accom panied by a sworn statement that it is absolutely necessary for the pi clorit to have the whiskey or brandy and also setting forth a full diagnosis of .he case.. At the same time it is necessary that ihe patient sign an affidavit .hot he will only drink it. as prescribed and ceriain !y wll not use it after being restored from his sickness. No one prescription cun be filled the second time and if the first one is not enough to cure the sat process has to be gone througn to pro cure the second bottle. No physician coin prescribe whiskey In Oklahoma wit hoy t it is absolutely necessary for the cure of the patient. If he breaks this law he will have to forfeit h's license. It is well known that It Is a hard I thing to get a drink in the United States on Sunday, even in th t non-pro < bibb lon states. There is only on,* ex i eeption to this rule: A traveling sales mar, provided he is a “bona fide 1 ' sales man. can drink to his heart's content at his hotel and does not have to sat isfy his thirst with water and sof* drinks. The "boni fide” salesman can g*i any kind of strong drink at his notel; is It a wonder, therefore, that a large number of Americans transform themselves Into salesmen o.i Sunday and go to a nearby town and register ai the hotel and get a room, in which they and their friends can enjoy them selves to their hearts* content. These particular people need lot fear th"! most drastic measures, such as was executed by Governor Folk, o f Missouri, to Ft. Louis. Not for war. Not for a not call, hut for no other purps-\ that on one particular Sunday the laws were enforced and the masses would he pro hibited from quenching their thirst. Ac cording to the last reports the experl -1 rnent was without result*. The brave ;-oldlers drank with lie masses. Do not let the flock run out on | frost-bUten pastures; this will give 1 them a setback. During very cold, settled weather, sheep will eat more than on days ! when it Is warm and rainy. Be guld- i d by conditions. Th<- sheep that furnishes a coat both for hlmseii and his master docs not owe the latter anything for his keep, and the belter the keep the better the coat Try letting the lambs Into tho eorn-tleld after the eorn Is well eared. They will nibble off a goou deal of food from the stalks that might other wise go to waste. Put the heifers that are to calve next spring In the barn with 'he milk ing rows gee that the windows are In repair, and clean, and the mangers llkewlsi. Keep some good cats in the dairy barn. Feed and handle ihr heifer* care fully. By 'he time they calve, they will know that you are their friend, and there will be no "breaking” to milk when that time comes. THE NEW ABATTOIR WELL EQUIPPED Will Have a Government Inspector in Charge and Everything Will be San itary. The butcher's abattoir is rapidly nearing completion. The management hopes to be able to slaughter there Monday. The abattoir proper contains a room for slaughtering hogs, a slaughter room for cattle and a cooling room. The cattle are brought in from the pens and are inclosed in a small pas sageway. then they are knocked in the head. A spring is released and the floor falls, allowing them to rolj out on to the floor of the main room. They are then hoisted up and cleaned and run into the cooling room. The hogs are brought in from a door in the back and are slaughtered as they enter, thrown into a vat and boiled until the hair becomes loose, A fork arangement in the vat then throws them on a table, where they are scraped and gutted. Th boiler room Is about 40 feet from the main building, and it is con nected by the steam pipes. In the boiler room is the tank boiler and press. When the fat, bones and other parts of the carcass that can be used as fertilizers are taken from Ihe main building, they are put in the tank and are allowed to boil until they become a jelly It is then transferred to the press to be made into a lump for ship ment. Rack of the holler room are the hog and cattle pens. They have con crete floors and are sanitary in every way. Tire Georgia railroad belt line runs alongside and the animals can bo unloaded from the cars to the pens or into the slaughter house. The floors in all of the buildings are of concrete and a perfect drain age system is in operation. The blood, etc., are washed into the drains and go into a small creek that is along side and in that way there is no dis agreeable odors. In one corner of the main slnttgh tering room there is a small office for the inspector. The buildings have sanitary closets and basins. Wagons are loaded from the cool ing room, which is in the front of the building. The building fares the New Savannah Road and is about a mile and a half from the city. The slaughter house is made rtf brick and wood. The brick extends up about four feet and the remainder is made of wood strips. The strips are covered with screen wire and il is practically Impossible for flies to get to the meat. In the summer time at the old pens, meat was often blown by flies before the butchers could got it to their shops. When Ihe abattoir gets into oprr ation proper the other poiiH In the city will have to close as there will be only one government inspector, j Some of the butchers go over to South Carolina to the Rosenthal ah j attoir and do their killing. Reing in [another state ant' the business done being large enough, the government has already put an Inspector there. The superintendent lo look after the interests of the butchers has not been elected yet, but many surmises are being made as to who will get the position. The man who gets It must he a flrst-rlass huteher. with a business ability enough to keep the books as to how many animals are slaughtered and to whom they belong. Connected to the pens is a hide house, where the hides can lie put and salted down until the butcher Is ready to carrv them to the dealers. It is the habit of most butchers to hold these hides until they have 15 or 20 of them to keep from making so many trips to the slaughter houses. The first cattle will l>e killed Mon day, but the abattoir will not he able to kill the full capacity for a week longer, as there are some few re pairs that will have to he made be fore the buildings are complete in every way.

Senator from Texas, who figures the Sibley Archbold Standard Oil letters. MAURICE H. LUNDY TO REVISIT GEORGIA Many Will he Glad to See One Who Worked With Georgians Just. After the War. Fairy tales of olden limes are put to flight through developments In an old story of real life In which sev I oral Augustans and citizens of the i surrounding territory will no doubt jbe much interested. Some thirty years ago Maurice 11. Lundy, a frail had. attracted by stories of the South, left college in his home town of Wil liamsport, Pa., and came to Georgia, lie finally landed at Hurl's mountain, in Columbia county, near the home |of Mr. J. M. Luke', father of Mr. .1. K. Luke, the well known cotton man of litis city. Young Lundy simply stated that he was a wayfarer in i search of work and ns he was tired and hungry Mr. Luke took him to [llls home, which was one of the best of (lie ante-bellum type. Lundy went to work. Tie did not shirk any task allotted him and he- I canto a valuable man around the big ! farm. However, he kept his pas! veiled in mystery and II was some four or five years before his home ! town was learned. During his rest jdenee in Georgia he only changed oc cupation once, going from Mr. Luke s to the home of Mr. T. A. Blanchard. At the latter place he kepi up his established reputation of helng a splendid citizen and he won tnanv new friends. Mr. Rlanehard at that lime operated one of the largest and most up-to-date farms in the country, and had a lot of manufacturing plants, including lumber mill, ginnery, threshing and ploy manufacturing es tablishments. These machinery plants were under the supervision of Mr. T. J. MeAullffe, and Young Lundy was added to the forces. Gradually he divulged partH of his family his lory and il was learned Unit he had been three years at college and his home was in Williamsport, Pa. Mr MeAullffe at once got in communica tion will) Williamsport and the fain ily of tlie truant youngster were over joyed to hear of his whereabouts. H<* was not twenty at that. titrxo when he Went back to his people. Since (hen hut little has been heard of him until last week a letter was received by Mr. Luke from Mr. Lun dy, staling that he Intended to come lo Georgia to visit his old friends. He writes a letter full of experience and tingling with the life of {lie Wes*. He Is now an official of the Oregon Short Line railroad and declares that his section of the country Is the greatest on earth. He is located at Boise, Idaho, and says he will bring his son and daughter with him on the trip Kast to see the country, and especially the Idg cities. He states that his father, who has always been a wealthy man, is still living in Williamsport, and he will go there to see him. lie is 82 years old at the present time. When Maurice Lundy comes to Georgia it goes without saying, tie cording to expressions from his old time friends, that nobody could re ceive a more cordial welcome. WILL NOT REDUCE TAXES. WBHBON, Miss. .1. H. Rea, secretary anrt treasurer of the Textile Milts Cor poration of Ihis place, and J. H. Hex lon. manly attorney, have been before tile board of supervisors asking that the mills assessment tie lowered, which was refused, the hoard believing that the Mlsstsslpi't mills had bsen properly an *»*d t>y County Assessor <l. 11.

The Case of Frederick Walker, a Major of the Confederacy, Now in New York Poorhousc Among many needs for the allevia tion of the pitiful condition of cotint less numbers of men and women who are poor and helpless, there is lo ns of the South no need as Insistent as that for an interstate home for Con federate veterans, supported by tho former Confederate states. There may he those who will re mind us that in nearly every one of these states there is at present a well-conducted home free of access to the men who so bravely donned tlie grey nearly half a century ago, but so many are the twists of red tape that must be unwound before en trance can lie secured that those homes are at present entirely inacces slide to many who are helpless and worthy. Take for instance the case of Frederick Douglas Walker, who was a major on the Confederate ski \ who is about lo enter ait almshouse because lie has tto means es support, and because he cannot enter tho Con federate home of his native state, South Carolina, owing It' tlie fact that he has lived out of the state for more than two years. The son of a distinguished Federal officer. a man of much prominence and distinction in the North, has re centl.v written of this case to an An gusta friend. He writes among other things'. "The major called here yesterday anti asked me to care for his coat and satchel until this morning, as lie was too late to enter the King's County almshouse yesterday. He is a Mas ter Mason, dropped by his lodge for the non-payment of dues. He will be reinstated on payment of two year's dues, anil when reinstated may lie admitted lo the Masonic home In Hliea. Chaplain Raker of tho New York Confederate camp Inis tlie mat ter in hand, and pending negotiations for his admission lo Dtlea, he will remain in Flatbush. This ohhc grips a fellow by the throat, even If lie Is a Yank. I can picture to myself Hint figure, straight and soldierly still, despite misfortune, hardship and abuse, clad, forty seven years ago, In the grey and gold of the Hampton Legion, and realize just what tilled tliut heart and ntind as he rode away to battle for all he held dear and sacred. Dissipation has not blotted out, the marks of breeding in his face, and although Ills hut is 100 large and his clothes are seedy, Mh linen Is elean, and from his head, with the neatly trimmed white heard, lo his well-polished shoes, he Is a Southern gentleman. It is a pity that a man wlto fought for the South from Sum ter to Appomattox should lie com polled in his old age lo seek shelter in a county almshouse or even in a Masonic home.” The writer encloses a clipping from The Hronklyn Fugle, some extracts from which will serve further lo throw light on a subject that, cannot LAINK E Y ’ S Ts ihr place so go for n nice outing.

In fact, there is a very general conspiracy on hand to put the institution down and out. In talking with a y ung man employed by this house, he yawned and said, “Oh, in this quarrel I am neutral.” “But you get your bread aad butter from this firm, and in a matter where the very life of the institution is concerned, I do not see bow you can be neutral.” And he changed the subject. I think if I enlisted in the Japanese army I would not be a neutral. Business is a fight a continual struggle just as life is. Man has reached his present de gree of developement through struggle. Struggle there must be and always will be The struggle began purely physical; as man evolved it shifted around to the mental, psychic, and spiritual, with a few dashes of cave man proclivities still left. But depend upon it, the struggle will always be life is activity. And when it gets to be a struggle in well-doing, it will be a real struggle. When inertia gets the better of you it is time to telephone to the undertaker. The only neutral in this life is a dead one. Copyrloht«d, 1900, by Elbtrt HubbtrC | fail to make a universal appeal.

Rut The Eagle told the old man's story, how he had been playing in hard luck at (17, and was I friendless and 111. and some of the men who had fought on the other side, members now of Grant Post., read tlie story and communicated with the onlv Confederate organization in New York. There was no question of tlie Pact that tho old man had served honor ably in the "grays” and that his war record was of the host among the! chivalrous rebels who fought for u| principle. The Rev. George S.
