Va., June C Uusn't It been demonstrated tlmennd tltne again that when men want intoxicants they will get them In spltoef all the prohibitory legislation In lue land T Isn't It a well-known fact thnt no matter hew stringent the laws or hew severe the penalty for violating the " statoets," or acts or assembly, that men will drink liquor and neil It T And la It net a solemn truth that whorevor prohibitory laws liave been put Inte ferce that lutein pcrntice rather In creases than diminishes? Way no county, West Virginia, where I am located, fur nishes nu example of what howling farces prohibition or lead option arc If t am Informed correctly, Wnyne county voted en the question of local option, and the ballets of the people do de elded that the county should be without a drop of liquor for thlrty-flve long years. The "dry" ticket wen the day, but by what majority I de net knew. And niter years of trial hew has loud option fared? It Is a screaming farce. In the whele of Wayne county there Is net n hotel. Hearding houses are numerous, ever which hosplt hesplt hosplt able Southern ladies proslde as u general rule. They serve the Jaded truvcler with generous quantities of prevender, and copious draughts of bad-tasting cistern water. .Thcre Is net a road-heuso or any plnce along any of the county highways where n traveler can step and get a decent meal, decently served. If the travoler Is hungry and thirsty and he halts .at the average farm heuse, which hounds squat ted among the hills, he will have spread befere him a mess of cold smoked perk and beans, a leugh hunk of corn bread, n bowl of brown sugar, a leathery wedge of ple nnd a glass of thin milk 1 I am speaking new of the entertainment for man nnd beast which is furnished along the country reads. In the small towns and villages, of course, a shade better fare Is provided. " Better fare'1 consists probably of eggs In addition te the corn bread, which is a trill i) mero tender; and instead of smoky ham yen nre served with u ploce of fried bacon and the leather-crust of the pie is displaced by pastry " betwixt nnd between" leather and a soggy potato I Hew such slulf outrages a stomach ! And when you finish the meal, hew about getting something stronger than water te wash it down? Well, that's net hard te get, If you kne.v the ropes. Whisper softly, exhibit Hllver coin and presto! from seme dark recess comes forth the little brown jug and u lineup, The transaction Is nil ever In less tlme than it takes te tell it and the carthen vossel and Us tin adjunct are 10 10 pleced. The natlvu is one drink out and ene silver coin in. A smile wreathes his features and the traveler has been rojuve rejuve rojuve nated and the bad nieal he has eaten has been counteracted. I would wager something pretty that there Is scarcely n family In Wayue county who doc net have among the scanty household effects a little brown jug. This II is net asserting that overy head of a family will seu the liquor, lint he gets it and drinks it. Se dees his wife. Se de the children. Some of the natives, possibly, are tee peer te buy a genuiue artlcle of whisky, which Is net sold in less than two gallon jugs. What de they de in that event? Kasy question te answer. They purchase alcohol, dilute- it or net, just as they are hardened te its use, and gulp down the fluid. Such llery stuff would sicken the ordinary mortal. It doesn't sicken them and they becotne addicted te l its use until tliey can tnke It with as great gusto anil relish as a unikey doesn slice of watermelon. The thirty-five-year local option clause does net prevent hundreds of gallons of liquor from finding its way Inte Wayne county. Xe place but ene have I seen rum sold openly, but Just as much Is drank ns though thcre were public places by the scere where it's sale would be lawful. Wayne county Is a loser by its voting down the "wet" ticket. Cabell county and the ether counties en fits border which eoley the legal sale of lllquer are the winners, and the revenue which gees out of Wayne county sums up i big figure every twelve mouths. Here lis an illustration of hew big seme of the hunntltics of liquor are which go into the rillagoef Wayne Court Heuso alone. My Informant was a 1 citable, trustworthy inn, who sometimes takes nu occasional nip" of the" tesy fluid": 1 Fer soveral weeks preceding und suc ceeding the Christmas holiday it is no uu- toinmen thing for n team te drlve into Vayue Court Heuse having en beard as jany as forty erlifty half gallon jugs of hlsky! Beer, as you may knew, owing the dlMcult means of transportation, is llinest an unknown quantity in Wayue 'eurt Heuso. Kvery body drinks whisky nd they drink a heap of It, tee. Kvery ellday or any unusual occurrence of any ind Is sure te see big quantities of whisky tiding its way Inte the town. Nearly rcry heuse has Its jug or a half dozen of hem, and whlle there Is net much open Iruiikemicss, nevertheless astonishing luantlties of whisky nre drunk." All of me liquor which is taken te fayue Court heuse geos from Huntington, Iventy odd tullesaway. The liquor dealers ind rcpicscutnmcs or go themselves te 'ay no and drum up trade. Que liquor an, smarter than his rivals, Imported n ipular Wayne Couil heuse chap nnd ado him clerk In his establishment. rhat was the result of the line stroke of islncss tuct? All of the new clerk's iends carried their patrouage te him, and liquor man fattened his purse thereby. et many days age I met running into ayne Court Heuse ene of Iho prominent pier dealcrsef Huntington. He appeared be In no easy tr.ime ei ml nil and I put piestien te him about his business In ayne. "I'll tell you about it," he said, dls- nselately. ".Somebody down thcre mis- liresented something te the man who fries my jugs into Wayue uud the result Is been a fall-nut between the man and wlf. .My business is thereby crippled Imewhat, and 1 took a trlpduwu there te matters up. " Irheday for the journey was a rough one, ll a geed many dollars were at Make for liquor dealcr, and hu braved the moms and bad reads te -ee that the antlty of rum he sent into a local ontlen Itieu did net lessen ! r.iere is net a wagon which geos out or liynoCeuit Heuse, beuud for Hunting- i mat uecs no iiave en its icturu trip or mereju jk, perhaps the number mav Ick a doren. When a man Irurus that next-deer neighbor is going " te town," hurneylngle Huntington Uncalled, he rrles ever te tlui heutu the night before, einniy counts out a coupie of dollars I hands It te the citizen who is going te lutingten en the morrow. Perhaps he Isn't tell him what te buy for the two Ilar?. That isn't necessary, the citizen utheteanihas "been there" many a time and ha knew very well that the money it net for the purchase of feed or clothing, but whisky, pure and simple. It was only the ether day that a colored teamster was halted by one of his brethren who was en feet The darkey, who was walKlng.handed the ether a dollar and said " Howdy," with a bread grin. The ether took the piece of silver and slid It In his wide pocket. I was near by when the meney changed hands, but nothing was said by the one darkey te the ether as te what purpose the dollar was te be used. When seme distance away I asked, In nocently, and perhaps with some show of cheek : "Man want you te buy him something In town?" Yes, snh ; whisky." The conversation ended. Huntington is a great market for the little brown jug. Kxcept at the bars of the hotels or saloons a boltle is never seen. Jugs te the right, jugs te the left, Jugs In front of you, Jugs all around you. When the reads are In such a condition that wagons cannot pass ever thorn and the excitable streams playfully wash away a few bridges, the jugs are carried en horse back. Kvery mother's son who owns a herse also owns a pair of saddle bags, Just made the size of a half-gallon Jug. Recently, when the reads were blockaded for travel with mud and landslides, a coiree and Heur famine raged for a short time In Wayne Court Heuse. The town has yet te me a whisky famine, and whlle coffee and flour were at a premium and were being borrowed right and left, the staid citizens had the little brown jugs full te the uozzle. I was amused the ether night, while I was loitering about the postefllce, awaiting the slew distribution of the mall. The usual crowd was clustered In front of the e 111 co, nnd a horseman flew up the read and drew rein. The rider dismounted nnd hlmsulfand his panting steed were quickly surrounded by the side-walk stainpers. " Holle 1 Sam," they all said, cheerily nnd with oue accord. I loekod upon the indi vidual who had arrived en horseback with some concern, and, from the effuslve de monstrations which wero being made evor bis arrival, I thought he was some distin guished citizen the mayor, perhaps, or town marshal. Before I made inquiry I waited developments, and I seen saw why the " Holle ! Sam," had been given with such a hearty geed will, and why all this seemlng great popularity of the rider. The herseman began unloading his steed, and the gang craned their necks and loekod en with interested sllonce. A pair of sad dle bags wero taken eir and twoelhor stout canvas bags followed te the sldewalk. They were deposited with great care en the ground, and le I and boheld, wheu the mouth of the bags were tern open their disclosed contents showed the little brown jugs, each with scaled corks, showing that they were all full of the festlve julce of the rye. "Sam" hauded a jug te ene outstretched hand, an other te nn expetunt individual, and se en until he had his whele burden distributed, oxceptenojug. That was for " Sam." He mounted his herse und rede away. The crowd dispersed, as "Sam" was the plum they had been walling for, and llfe ence mero get te running the worn channel. The natives are guilty of drinking Ja maica ginger and cssence of peppermint, and It is said that they get boisterously drunk en theso scorching stimulants. The vlllage of Wayne Court Heuso Is net the possosser of a d rug store. 1 n u I Ittle bu 1 id iug a pair of doctors have their olllce en oue side. The ether side is used as a bar ber shop. On the doctors' slde of the ground fleer are several rows of shelving which contain the most common of drugs. I' looked at the contents of the shelving the ether day. The big gest stock en baud was composed of small bottles of peppermint and Jamaica ginger, marked In plain Anglo-Saxen, with no Latin terms te deceive the ordinary Court Houseito. The bettles are sold at 23 cents each, and whonevor a buyer comes, and such are Humorous, ene or the ether of the doctors, or perhaps the barber, will gravely ask : " De you want this for medicinal use?" " Certainly," comes the answer at nil times. " Mediclual use " be hauged. The pur chasers de net want it for any such thing. They want It for a stimulant of the Intoxi cating kind, and they tell ft " whlte lie " te get it. They drink it without mixing it with water, and theso I have seen take a rather stiff drink of the burning stuff soem te enjoy it immensely. Thore are ether amusing things connected with the local option business in this vicinity, which I will give you for dessert at another time. Haiuiv W. Buckiuk. Four Men Killed In u Railroad Wreck.

Constable Jehn Crawford, of the Third ward, te-day lauded Jehn Deuaghy, uu es caped prisoner from the Iaucaster county jail, back in his old quarters again. Dou Deu aghy is ii Lancaster man, and resides en Middle street. He was committed te Jail In default of ball, by Alderman A. F. Don Den nelly, te answer u charge of surety of the poace, preferred by his niece. Whlle awaiting trial he made his oscape In a rather novo! way. He did net wear a striped suit whlle In prison and had the run of the corridor. On April 21 he coolly walked te the front gate nnd asked the attendant thcre te let him out. The officer did net knew Dbnaghy, hut supposed that he had been Inside working or en business and allowed him te go. Deuaghy quietly walked down town and was at llberty until late last night. The efllcers were en lookout for Donaghy for seme tlme and they finally concluded that he hud geno te the country. Through William Byerly they Dually locuted the prisoner at the heuse of William llciiu, a brether-lu-law, ut Hnytl, a little village, between Quarryville und Georgetown. Last night Coustable Crawford went te Quarryville, where he was met by Byerly. They secured a team and drove te the heuse of Benn, reaching it at a Inte hour. They secured Donaghy without treuble and he was brought te town. He was committed by Alderman Barr. The charge en which Donaghy was originally held was by no means a serious one, but after his oscape the prison officials made every effort te keep the matter quiet and they have been anxious te get him back. A reiKirtcr of the I"ri:M.im:'ci:ii asked Denughy why he ran away for such a petty offense. He replied with a laugh : " Why, 1 did net runaway; they let me out." He said that he was In Lancaster most of the tlme after getting out, but only spent one night ut home, lie passed police elllccrs and constable overy day, but was net molested while iu town.

It Is possible that he may be elected. He would make a geed govorner. and he would have a brilliant administration. It would be Intensely Democratic.

Te-day ivforceof men nre In town put ting the finishing touches te the advertis ing of the Main-Van Ambiirg circus, which exhibits lu Ijincnster en Thursday next, and In Qdarry ville en Friday. Thore are many small boys In Lancaster who have never seen a wagon show of any size, und te thorn this oue will be a nevelty. Such was the geed old way of traveling, but te-day there are probably mero wagon shows en the read than for years. It has net been many years slnce all the big shows traveled by read, but then the Jumps wcie net as 'arge as at proseul. Iu wagon shows the elephants, camels and animals of that kind nre com pel led te wnlk, much te the delight nnd astonishment of the country people. It lias net been se many years age that a monster elephant refused for a long tlme te crnsi Wltmer's brldge and he delayed the whele circus by his stubbornness. The old red wagon has n charm for overybody, and the show that trnvels by read Is still Uie most popular. The boys of this city will net be able te go te the railroad htntlen te nwnit the arrival of the coming circus, but they will doubtless go out the Columbia turnpike te meet It. It Is safe te say that the western cud of town will be quite lively that morning. Down lu Quarryville the people are wild evor the coming of this show, as It will be the first circus they have evor had. People from Oxford te Willow Street are going te attend, und it is certain that the business thore will be us large us here. THE TUCQUAX CLUB.
