was given him Judge McConathy- said the question had two sides and the people should become familiar I with the arguments for and against p The speaker for the wets was re ¬ ceived with enthusiasm His support- ers ¬ were there in force and their y champion did not lack applause He aaid it was an open question and all he asked was fair play in its presenta- tion ¬ r for his standpoint He then re a fered to the report of his stage fright h at Dunnellon as reported in the Ban ¬ ner but whatever may have been his state it mind in the Phosphate City his J wll pjeonic selfp ssession was in- s tl te and he rode it finely over the V1 Journey- Mr McNamee referred to Noahs getting drunk and the fact that whisky t had been in the world for many thous 4 and years and yet the people of the earth today were better than in Noahs Ime hence liquor was not the con ¬ taminating liquid as painted by the prohibitionists He then told how es- sential ¬ i champagne was in cases of ty- phoid ¬ t r fever brandy in cases of dys ¬ entery and beer in stomach troubles and scathed the Georgia prohibition 3 law cutting the supply down to half- a pint of raw alcohol to one family in cases of sickness to be obtained only w by the head of the house and upon a tl doctors written prescription He in- stanced ¬ ti the case of a drummers wife 4 who if taken sick and her husband was out on his drumming trip she would have to await his return before she could even get the pint of raw al ¬ Georgi- a r he never stated that the law was written by the best physicians in the Jv state to abolish the drugstores and blind ttigers He then took up the argument of the prohibs that whisky steals away homes and wrecks the brain He then r quoted the prosperity of Duval Hills borough and Marion county wet coun- ties ¬ I saying those counties had more tt Children in school than any of the dry 1g counties of the state hence its destroy- ing ¬ power was nil by comparison and the dry argument fell to the ground That the argument was lame you need only give it a thought because you would have to insist because they n were wet it made them prosperous and populous hence had many children tr Ergo liquidity begets little ones l He then turned on his reasoning x powers to religious craze and fanatic- ism ¬ also that the dollar was not J thrown away but that the growing of r the grape and the distillation of the If grain formed part of the great indus- tries ¬ of the land and helped to make- us the progressive people we were in- stead ¬ t of a people eating mad dog on a the halt shell He then referred to E W Davis letter saying how demoral ¬ ising the drink habit was and the cause of 75 per cent of the cases in 1 our courts He paid him a high com- pliment > as an attorney one worthy of > the honor bestowed and greater ones to follow but said it was a curious fact that our of the five counties in ti his circuit were dry and yet a special- s > term of court had to be called in Cit- rus tf county to get rid of liquor cases j blind tigers the result of prohibition He then touched on the names of I the framers of our new constitution showed what marked able men they were and they had not written pro- hibition ¬ in the constitution but had Ii made this a high license state Re- ferring ¬ to the fact that the prohibs said drink filled our insane asylums r i he said this was a misstatement that religion or its excitement caused most r people to be placed in the asylum that those devising patents came next and that drink or alcohol came third t He spoke of the effect of the blind t tiger on the boy said if you let a boy know and see a thing and bring him up- right tf he would be a good citizen but k to hide it from him and he was sure to find It and use it He spoke of his Puritanical raising Said he was l raised to look not upon the wine when Y it was red and as a result went out 7c t wIth the boys early in life He had l Y who he wanted r to grow up 4C 1 I in sobriety So from his youth he set i wine and beer on the table result he didnt taste either He said home j training at the mothers knee was the place to make a sober man and tern peranee that would predominate thro life He then took up temperance legis- lation ¬ in Maine over fifty years ago and four magazine articles testified to- by those living there that more drunk- enness j existed there and more arrests sand trials for inebriety existed today than half a century ago That it Created a rare of hypocrites liars and evaders of the law He gave the tes timony of W B Clarkson and Dr LEngle of Jacksonville who spent the past summer in Maine and they said liquor could be had without even ask ¬ ing for it He referred to the states- of Massachusetts and Vermont which states had prohibition and both had abandoned the idea Iowa and Kansas where the law was evaded as if there were no such thing For all of these ills he besought high license and reg ¬ ulation and no blind tiger in it He spoke of the training of the children- the church and its duties and those persistently and conscientiously per ¬ formed Vould bring up a sober and a God fearing people instead of a na ¬ tion of hypocrites law breakers and court falsifiers- Mr McNamee made the best speech- ever delivered on the wet side in Ocala- or in the state and he found many sympathetic listeners He spoke only- in praise of his friend Carroll and there was nothing said or done in the arguments that was not strictly de ¬ corous Rev Carrolls reply was to the point meeting every argument of his an- tagonist ¬ to the complete satisfaction of his friends So enthused were they that at the close of his reply took him on their shoulders and gave him a grand demonstration of their approval- of what he had said It was the greatest occasion this city has ever seen for the cause The speeches made have never been surpassed The ladies were out in force and most of them remained to hear Dr Carrolls reply as did several countrymen one of whom remarked that he had six sons and every one of whom would vote the dry ticket- It was easily to be seen that the colored man was on the moist side of the question The concensus of opin ¬ ion is that Dr Carroll had the best side of the question and he made the best argument but for a doubtful cause McNamee covered himself with glory THE CULPEPPER MEETINGS- The Culpepper meeting Saturday night was well attended and his theme was largely temperance in which he took occasion to say that the speeches made at the Ocala House were the equal of the best and on the wet ques ¬ tion as presented by Hon Robert Mc Namee the best he had ever heard It pleased him to see with what courtesy and kindness the speakers referred to each other Speaking of Maine he said people could always find what they were looking for but in spite of it each time the question came to a vote prohibition won Sunday morning a large crowd was in attendance and Rev J B Culpe per preached one of his most inspiring- and convincing sermons on Dont You Want to Know Christ He spoke for an hour and a half and men and women heard with bated breath his wonderful words and word painted pictures- He said if people would get to think ¬ ing and talking about Christ as they did of Julius Caesar Napoleon Wash- ington ¬ Lincoln Lee and Grant While all these had done great things for the world except the personal ambition of Caesar and Napoleon and were bene ¬ factors of their race and the world yet compared to Christs work for hu ¬ manity it became a mere handful He spoke magnificently and wonderfully of the Bible the source of all knowl ¬ edge That if Columbus had not been- a reader of the Bible he never would have discovered America The Bible told him the world was round so he went on believing in the Bible and Christ Closing he gave several word pictures One the woman who was the child of the autocrat but grew up to be a good woman fleeing from her brother who camped oh her trail from young womanhood and attempted to lead her astray until a conductor spoke the first words of love to her His sudden death confirmed her belief that no one loved her She attended- Mr Culpeppers meetings and became converted through his showing that Christ died for the world His illus- trations ¬ were marvellous- In the afternoon he spoke to the negroes half of the tent being turned over to them and half to the white people and made an impression sure He showed the old time manner of the negroes making their contributions to the church The negro drunk or sober always does this He marches up to the altar and in the presence of the pastor deposits his nickel He made conversions to the dry cause T J Anderson one of our intelligent col ¬ ored men said he had always worked- for whisky built and opened one of 1 the first saloons ever opened in Ocala but was done with it forever Had hen converted Saturday night at a meeting held by Rev Harris It was- a great gathering At night the tent was full the big- gest ¬ audience yet about 2000 He spoke on Building His text was the touch of blood in the left ear on the right hand and on the right toe He said this was to say the car hears he careful of what you hear and see He took notice of Bob Ingersoll He did- it because he had lately been extolled for a great temperance spoon he had made He said men like Ingersoll sow- ed ¬ the seed of death and destruction Unbelief was one of the curses of the world Said Ingersoll had made his money getting Congress to enact the revenue on whisky For this he got 125000 Spoke of his early popular- ity ¬ Knew the time when in St Louis- a > carriage drawn by six white horses met him at the depot and drove him- to the opera house where a crowd greeted and cheered him Knew him in his old age when no one met him in that city and an audience of only sixty persons heard him but Sam Jones who was then holding a revival in St Louis drew thousands But so it goes Gods words go marching on to triumph and glory and the ways of the world die He spoke grandly of Ocala and her upbuilding and closed by sayingevery- one that wanted to to come upsand grasp his hand About all in that au ¬ dience

the saloon he has made since coming-toV Ocala and he has made many good I
ones This however was conceded toi be the best
I
l Judge Richard McConathy in intro ¬
ducing Mr McNamee of Tampa ask-ed
¬
rL for him a respectful hearing gandit was given him Judge McConathy-said the question had two sides andthe people should become familiar I
with the arguments for and againstp
The speaker for the wets was re ¬
ceived with enthusiasm His support-ers
¬
were there in force and theiry champion did not lack applause He
aaid it was an open question and allhe asked was fair play in its presenta-tion
¬
r for his standpoint He then rea
fered to the report of his stage frighth at Dunnellon as reported in the Ban ¬
ner but whatever may have been hisstate it mind in the Phosphate Cityhis Jwll pjeonic selfpssession was in-
s tl te and he rode it finely overthe V1 Journey-
Mr McNamee referred to Noahsgetting drunk and the fact that whisky
t had been in the world for many thous4 and years and yet the people of the
earth today were better than in NoahsIme hence liquor was not the con ¬
taminating liquid as painted by theprohibitionists He then told how es-
sential¬
i champagne was in cases of ty-
phoid¬
tr fever brandy in cases of dys ¬
entery and beer in stomach troublesand scathed the Georgia prohibition
3 law cutting the supply down to half-a pint of raw alcohol to one family incases of sickness to be obtained only
wby the head of the house and upon a
tl doctors written prescription He in-
stanced¬
ti the case of a drummers wife4
who if taken sick and her husbandwas out on his drumming trip shewould have to await his return beforeshe could even get the pint of raw al ¬Georgi-ar he never stated that the law waswritten by the best physicians in the
Jv state to abolish the drugstores andblind ttigers
He then took up the argument ofthe prohibs that whisky steals awayhomes and wrecks the brain He then
r quoted the prosperity of Duval Hillsborough and Marion county wet coun-ties
¬
I saying those counties had morett Children in school than any of the dry
1g counties of the state hence its destroy-ing
¬
power was nil by comparison andthe dry argument fell to the groundThat the argument was lame youneed only give it a thought becauseyou would have to insist because they
n were wet it made them prosperous andpopulous hence had many children
trErgo liquidity begets little ones
l He then turned on his reasoningx powers to religious craze and fanatic-
ism¬
also that the dollar was notJ thrown away but that the growing ofr the grape and the distillation of the
If grain formed part of the great indus-tries
¬
of the land and helped to make-us the progressive people we were in-
stead¬
t of a people eating mad dog ona the halt shell He then referred to E
W Davis letter saying how demoral ¬
ising the drink habit was and thecause of 75 per cent of the cases in
1 our courts He paid him a high com-
pliment> as an attorney one worthy of> the honor bestowed and greater ones
to follow but said it was a curiousfact that our of the five counties in
ti his circuit were dry and yet a special-
s> term of court had to be called in Cit-
rustf county to get rid of liquor casesj blind tigers the result of prohibition
He then touched on the names of
I the framers of our new constitutionshowed what marked able men theywere and they had not written pro-
hibition¬
in the constitution but hadIi made this a high license state Re-
ferring¬
to the fact that the prohibssaid drink filled our insane asylums
r i he said this was a misstatement thatreligion or its excitement caused mostr people to be placed in the asylumthat those devising patents came nextand that drink or alcohol came third
t He spoke of the effect of the blindt tiger on the boy said if you let a boy
know and see a thing and bring him up-
righttf he would be a good citizen butk to hide it from him and he was sure
to find It and use it He spoke of hisPuritanical raising Said he was
l raised to look not upon the wine whenY it was red and as a result went out7c t wIth the boys early in life He had

in sobriety So from his youth he set i
wine and beer on the table result hedidnt taste either He said home j
training at the mothers knee was theplace to make a sober man and ternperanee that would predominate throlife
He then took up temperance legis-lation
¬
in Maine over fifty years agoand four magazine articles testified to-
by those living there that more drunk-enness
j
existed there and more arrestssand trials for inebriety existed todaythan half a century ago That itCreated a rare of hypocrites liars andevaders of the law He gave the testimony of W B Clarkson and DrLEngle of Jacksonville who spent thepast summer in Maine and they saidliquor could be had without even ask ¬
ing for it He referred to the states-of Massachusetts and Vermont whichstates had prohibition and both hadabandoned the idea Iowa and Kansaswhere the law was evaded as if therewere no such thing For all of theseills he besought high license and reg¬
ulation and no blind tiger in it Hespoke of the training of the children-the church and its duties and thosepersistently and conscientiously per¬
formed Vould bring up a sober and aGod fearing people instead of a na ¬
tion of hypocrites law breakers andcourt falsifiers-
Mr McNamee made the best speech-ever delivered on the wet side in Ocala-or in the state and he found manysympathetic listeners He spoke only-in praise of his friend Carroll andthere was nothing said or done in thearguments that was not strictly de ¬
corousRev Carrolls reply was to the point
meeting every argument of his an-
tagonist¬
to the complete satisfaction ofhis friends So enthused were theythat at the close of his reply took himon their shoulders and gave him agrand demonstration of their approval-of what he had said It was thegreatest occasion this city has everseen for the cause The speechesmade have never been surpassed Theladies were out in force and most ofthem remained to hear Dr Carrollsreply as did several countrymen oneof whom remarked that he had six sonsand every one of whom would vote thedry ticket-
It was easily to be seen that thecolored man was on the moist side ofthe question The concensus of opin ¬

Dear Mr CarrollI understand thatthe conditions existing In Citrus coun ¬
ty as regards the illicit sale of liquor-is cutting some figure in the local op-

r
It is true that prohibition with avejy = light fine sometimes as low as 4
2o did not have much of a deterrenteffect and that while the practice of ffining those convicted of selling liquor-was in vogue we did have a greatnumber of blind tigers but at the tspecial term of the court held in Sep-
tember¬
and at the regular term held-in November of last year Judge Bul ¬
lock gave all persons convicted astraight jail sentence and prohibition-with jail sentences for its violation jsprohibiting the sale of liquor In thiscounty There is not an open tiger inthe county today and1a there has not J
been one since the special term ofI could held September when thejudge cornied the imposition ofjail sen all those tried at the tNovember term being for sales madeprior to the special term The prohibJ> ion law is being enforced in thiscounty and we are today in bettershape than ever before
