The New York World wanted to know all about that $30,000 liquor license down at Waycross, Georgia, and nccordimrlv wired to the Wiiy- cross Journal as follows: "File two hundred words explaining why Waycross has raised its liquor license to thirty thousand dollars. Are there any applications at new rater The journal teiegrapneo to the World the following intcrcf t inir renlv: "For sixteen years the city license for selling has been $30,000. Iiach succeeding council fixes it, no change has ever been made, and no one has applied for the privilege within that time. This tax was levied as prohibitive, and has been effective. Not only is the legal sale prohibited, but illegal .selling is kept to the minimum , fltid four policemen kept order iu thjs town of nine thousand. Ninety per cent of white people own their ...i . uomes. 1 uere arc no paupers, no poor-house, no loafers, and ninety three per cent of the children attend school. The town supports twenty churches, and all are well attended. Swearing is rarely heard on the streets, and one docs not see a diunkeii man in three months. Two large railroad shops and one j . . e a car lactory are oeraici nere be cause the men are found to be more reliable that iu liquor towns. These are some reasons why Way cross keeps the license at $30,000." The W. C. T. U. will meet in the Adveutist church during the month of February. Next Monday at the regular meeting there will be a short nroirranime rendered. The society will be glad to have all women who arc interested iu the betterment of mankind attend nil the meetings.
