1NTEMPERANCE IN THE HOME
What the shell is to the fort. the tor
nado to the forest, the earthquake to
the earth, that intemperance is to the
home. The shell strikes the fort, and
it is demolished. destroying The lives
within: the tornado. the forest and ii
lies in a tangled mass of ruin; the
earthquake rcnds the very earth, and
then we fear to trust ii. Intcmperance
in The home is all this and more II
blights the hope of beautiful lives; it
wrecks the strong and the weak to-
gethcr: ii shivcrS the very foundations
OF society. and leaves the individual
afraid to trust the strong arms of those
they love and upon whom they have
been taught to lean Tor protection.
Surely the picture is complete. and the
ruin of intemperance in the home is
fearful.
1T is amazing to observe how many
are the ways in which strong drink
moves upon the home to do it's terrible
work. Perhaps the mother of the home
is brave soul. She has said strong
drink shall have no place there. To
this brave stand the father has yield
cd, and it looks as If that home is safe
from the blighting curse, but it is not
far from safety.
Society has it's peculiar ways of
breaking down barriers and opening
the way for the entrance of this mon
stcr. The home is not safe from it's
blighting touch. rot even when father
and mother both have agreed that it
shall have no place there, for society
will set up its demands IN the face Of
the opposition OF the heads of the
household. and through the influence
of these demands the entrance is eff
fccted. the barrier is broken down and
strong drink RACES in the home where
IT was thought to have no rights.
POWER OF CUSTOM.
Custom is Il terror to temperance. 1t
is customary to have eggnog at Christ
mas time, and though the father and
mother have no idea of having strong
drink in their home, yet through this
custom pressure is brought to bear,
and many n father and mother have
yielded to the demands of custom, just
this once only to see King Alcohol en-
throned first in their home and then
in the lives of the father and the sons.
II was only yielding to custom. but it
meant ruin TO the home. 1t was the
she'll from the enemies gun. and it did
its work most effectively.
Again, there is the custom of wine
served in the wedding supper. and So
ciety says it is the custom and you
must not break 1t. The heads of the
house yield to the demand made APP
parently in such innocence, and vet 1t
means the wreck of one young mans
life and the destruction of one young
mans spirit. wrecked in time and for
eternity, and It was only little trib-
ute to custom. the custom of heart
less society life.
So far reaching is this power of Gus
tom that II avCtls itself of almost
every event that is out OF the usual
order OF daily life and makes an &C.
casion thereof TO drag into its unholy
power the homes of the best people,

was first carried, and then Mr.. Thomp-
son asked for n reconsideration. AS
Mr.. Thompson had voted against the
motion, his privilege to ask reconsid-
GRAFTON was disputed. Another vote.
which was recorded vote, settled that
question. Captain Dey's motion pre-
vailed.
The contention came from Norfolk
county. The cause of 1t is that the
county did not poll a large vote, and.
therefore, will not have a large repre-
sentation.
MIR. c. Fenton Day explained that
the decrease in the representation was
just punishment for not voting for
the nominees of the party. There was
n general interchange of opinion. dur
ing Which each one explained as the
schoolmasters do. that they hated to
do 1t, but they licked the boy for his
good. not for their pleasure.
1t was explained. also. that Norfolk
county could send delegates to contest
for seats in the convention. even If
their votes were not counted hereto
fore.
The meeting adjourned with oil the
members and spectators in high spir-
it's.

The criminal court grand jury, which was organized last Monday, made it's first report yesterday, returning, number of indictments among which were true bills against John Hendricks and Frank Dun can, the two crooks charged with the murder of Patrolmen George W. Kirkley and J. w. Adams, of the police depart ment The men were indicted jointly and separately, making two cases against each, the indictments charging them with murder in the first degree. The indict- ments against them are as follows: John Manning, alias Frank Miller, alias John Hendricks, alias Jim Hendricks, alias Jim Ferguson, alias Dutch Henry murder in the first degree, two cases. Frank Duncan, alias Frank Edwards alias Frank Winters, alias Dayton Slim,' murder in the first degree, two cases.

WILL CONSIDERABLY
 ENLARGE ITS PLANT
Consolidated Electric Light Company to Make Zig Improyements-Presile
 Jemison a Hustler

The Consolidated Electric Light com pany has just been granted a building permit for considerable enlargement of its plant. Within the year it will install six new large engines, with a maximum combined horse power of 6,0O0, and each and every of these engines will be built right here in Birmingham by the Birmingham Machine and Founday company. new battery of boilers is also to be put in and they are to be made by the Birmingham boiler works
 Indeed, President Jemison, of the EIec- tric Light company, has heretofore demon- strated and continues to do so, the fact that he is one of the most thoroughly progressive of Birmnghams business men. In the dark days of 1894 MT. Jemi- son and his associates broke the back bone of the panic in Birmingham by let ting the contract for the building of the present light plant, which is, by the way, the largest single plant south of the Ohio river. It is a noteworthy fact that the owners and managers of the Consolidated Electric Light company and the Birming- ham Railway and Electric company are always foremost in promoting and devel- oping the material interests of Birming- ham. The street railway company is now spending several hundred thousand dol lars in new and heavy rails and in the purchase of new and modern electric cars
 Within the year Birmingham will have the most complete electric railway system and electric lighting system in the south
