SUU Eu Had Prohibition for 68 Yam Election, be Hell Sep tember It ' - Augusta, Me, August 5. Sixty five years ago today the Democratic legislature of Maine enacted the first prohibition law against the liquor traffic, thus setting an example of state-wide prohibtion which waa not imitated by other commonwealth un til many years later. In another month, an September 11, of tbia year, at a general election, the voters of Maine will be called upon to decide whether state-wide prohibition, whichl baa been statutory from ltm to ism and constitutional ever since, shall remain part of the State's constitu- tion or not. Since the State of Maine enacted the first prohibition law, prohibition baa made tremendous strides. The movement is no longer a state or even a national movement, but has assum ed an international character. In many countries throughout the world the war against the liquor traffic has been taken up and the prohibition movement has 'met with varying de grees of success.- For this reason the battle which is now being fought in this state is attracting world-wide at tention. Maine was the pioneer of the prohibition movement and main tained state-wide prohibition contin uously longer than any other common monwealth in the world. It is quite natural, therefore, that the coming election is awaited with the most in tense interest throughout the world. It is generally admitted by friends of prohibition in and outside the State, that a great deal depends upon the outcome of the coming election. In fact, it is believed that the result of the vote will be of the most vital influence upon the future of the pro hibition movement If the majority of the voters in Maine should decide by their vote that constitutional prohi bition, after a test of 27 years, was found by thein unfeasible or undesir able, this decision would mean a se vere blow to the hopes of the friends of prohibition who, for years, have been working, inspired by the thought that some day all nations would com bine in-suppressing the liquor traffic. The campaign jww in progress in tbirHState- and-i$iuh.-wtf keontinue for another month, until tlielast voteTuual convention of the Catholic Total shallliave Been' cast-at two. coming election, began practically immediate ly after the election in September of last year, when it became certain that 'Democratic legislature had been elected, believed to be pledged to tote for a resubmission of the pro hibition clause of the constitution. People outside of this state cannot imagine how bitter and desperate is the fight between the prohibition and the anti-prohibition factions in this, state. ' The campaign was begun "by . j.- . . - . ' . . . . i l I ..the prohibitionists with a rush and steadily increased in vigor and bitter ness and there is every reason to be lieve that the remaining month will . Witness a campaign in this state, un paralleled in fierceness in the history of political fights. So far the prohibitionists have been the aggressors. As early as Oc tober 15 of last year . the Maine Sunf day School Association adopted by unanimous vote a resolution declar ing, "That ; any person who votes or in any way influences others to Vote, directly or indirectly, to so amend our constitution as to admit of a license of the liquor traffic, high or low, local or state-wide, is equallv guilty of giving his neighbor drink and putting the bottle to him as the . mm nllnr. and the woe of the proph et oLGod is upon him." That js rath er strong language, but it is' a fair ' sample' of the language used, by the nrnhibitionists in the present cam- paign. Everywhere their cry is "Rum - ncrinnt righteousness.' . Even: the opponents of prohibition - are forced to admit that the prohibi- tionists are remarkably wejl organiz- ed and are nutting up g reaf cam- :" The' leader of the prohibition eam- :. nn i cm is a woman.

Had the less substantial day coaches gone down the embankment the loss of life would probably have been enormous.

The railj were stripped from the ties for some distance, the train run ning probably 150 feet after the chair car broke loose from the ad joining day coaches and tumbled every" 's Several parties reported the loss of money and jewelry. One lady passenger stated that somewhere in the wreck were two valuable dia mond rings belonging to her.

With contin ued official assurances that the 1910- 11 cotton crop of the United States will be the greatest yield in the his tory ot the county, there is specula tion as to its total value. Should tbe staple this year sell at the same price it did in 1910, the value of the crop would be approximately $1,000,603, 000, exceeding the record breaking cotton crop value made last year by more than $180,000,000 I urther estimates from the govern ment 's official figures of 89.1 per cent, of a normal for the condition of the growing crop on July 25th, indicate that the crop will be 7,046,500,000 pounds, or 14,741,631 bales, of 478 pounds net weight. This would sur pass the record cotton production year of 1904 by more than 1,000,000 bales. If the crop this year sells at 11.5 cents a pound the average price tor the last five years, its value would be about $20,000,000 below last year's great value record. luttericti Owing to a recent change in this Good Pattern we are forced not to exchange or send any pattern on approval Ptac 11.6 YOU CAN A PRIZE ACRE OP COR.

It is probably the beat eon ever growa im Naak county and amour the best ia the State. The eon ia six inches apart in the drill and the rows are 3 1-2 feet apart. It has been estimated that one -. good average ear to the stalk would make 30 barrels; but it is a fact that - it will average two ears to tbe stalk. .. It seems probable that he will get at least from 40 to 50 barrels from the acre. Mr. Taylor has manured and fertil ized his corn very highly. . When be -broke the bind, he broadcast 104 eart loads of hog pen manure and 14 two- horse loads of eow manure. When h -planted the corn, he put down 320 pounds of cotton seed meal. , Tbe first time he ploughed it he used 160 pounds of cotton seed meal, and 160 pounds muriate of potash; at tbe sec ond plowing he used 160 pounds Cot ton seed meal and 320 pounds soda. When he laid it by be broadcast six one-horse loads of stable manure. This seems rather expensive, but Mr. Taylor has already been offered $100 for his acre, which be refused. He expects 3,000 pounds of fodder' from this corn. Odd Fellows to Host Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 4.
