BlRM1NaHAH, Ala, Nov. 3O.--A
special to the AgeHcrald from Ma
plesville, Ala, says: Seven men are
dead and seventeen more are not ex-
pected to live from the result of drink
ing mixture Of wood alcohol and
cheap whiskey. The liquor was
bought in Selma, Ala, by Bill Ander-
son and another farmer and brought
here by them and retailed to farmers
and laborers on the Mobile and Ohio
extension, which is being graded by
this place. a great number of farm
ers and railroad hands purchased some
OF the mixture and Immediately after
drinking the concoction were taken
violently i'll. No physician was at
hand and many Of them died before
attention could be given them. The
alcohol was labelled @'for mixing paint
only The affair has created a great
sensation. anderson and his partner
are among the dead. Bill Anderson
and j. L. Jones, the 40 men who
bought the stuff, are the only names
obtainable at present.

At!!! Fighting Uncle Sam.

COLUMBIA, Dec. 5.--Thc general
indications are that the dispensary
management and the Administration
do not expect any radical change in
the disn.nsary law. The tcndoncy
from these sources will be to leave
the law as nearly as it stands at pres
cnt as possible. There is just at this
time no more chance Of the passage of
prohibition bill and by that is
meant dispcnsary law for medicinal,
sacramental and scientific purposes
only, than there is for the passage OF
q high license Act. A resolution
may be passed to the effect that the
intention OF the dispensary law is to
regulate the sale Of liquor and strictly
net for money making. Such an ex-
preston may even be incorporated in
the new administration bill that is
to be proposed to the General Assem-
bly,, but it WILL be more of blind
than anything else, and it will be
noted that there will be no change in
the management of the business or
the price of the liquors. TO show
that the lawmakers do not propose to
allow profits to be made, and that
llq uuI Is only u DC SOlu 1Or meQlClnal,
sacramental and scientific purposes, it
would be as well to fix prices in the
law. There are some who argue that
if the price Of liquors bc doubled that
it will have the effect of reducing the
consumption as we'll as the profits to
the dispensary, while on the other
hand it is argued that when the State
says that it does not propose to make
any profit on the sale OF liquor, it
should sell the goods at actual cost,
plus the cost Of handling.
1t is now contendcd, and has all
along been so contcnded, by certain
element of dispcnsary advocates that
the profit feature was a mere incident
Of the law.
The reports for the month of Octo-
ber indicate that there has been q
considerable falling off in the sales
through the dispcnsary. although for
the last few days there has been an
increase in the business, supposedly
on account of the Christmas trade

The following 10 an extract from a

corning the resources Of the South is
considerably in advance of most men
with whom it is our pleasure to con
verse or correspond: II notice there

ell Of them doing a share Of the new
business which this great railroad
would create, and which would give
them something more than cotton,
which is now relied upon almost ex-
clusively for exports because nothing
else can be made to pay or to compete

Eastern ports, or by the Illinois Central
