 The people of Tuscaloosa are very much interested in the report to be made today by the Senate temperance committee on the dispensary question as it affects this county. There are two bills before the Legislature. The people at a primary in this county last April declared for the dis pensary, but elected anti-dispensary rep resentatives and an anti-dispensary Sena- tor. These three men were instructed for the, dispensary, however. Representatives Brandon and Foster introduced in the House what Is known as the Moody bfiL which the dispensary people claim was the only dispensary bill discussed in the can vass and the one for which the people of this county voted. The House bill calls for the dispensary to go into effect on January 1, 1901. Senator George D. John ston introduced in the Senate dispensary bill which differes in several respects from the House bill It provides that the pro ceeds of the dispensary shall be divided equally between the city and county of Tuscaloosa and further provides that the county's half shall be distributed equally between the school fund, the road fund and to needy Confederate veterans. It would not go into effect until the first day of January 1902. The Senate committee last Saturday recommended that the House bill be passed by the Senate, but the report was recommitted. The committee will re- port this morning. Prominent citizens on both sides of the question have been In Montgomery all of the week.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
THE FIRST RAILROAD 10 INTRODUCES
AuTo-NoRrLE SERVICE.

The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad has
established Electric Automobile Ser
vice at Washington, d. c., in connec-
tion with its train service, being the
first railroad TO introduce this mode
of transportation regularly to and from
its railway station.
The Automobiles are Of the latest
electric pattern, absolutely noiseleSs
in regard to machinery and running
gear. They are provided with luxuri-
ouSly deep cushioned seats, with cleo
trio lights and time pieces. Two small
trunks can be carried on the supports
at the rear of the vehicle, and the top
OF the cab provides ample room for
small travelling bags and hand lug
gage.
The splendid streets Of Washington
are particularly favorable for this
high-claSS transportation, and the We
hicleS can In safety reach a speed from
ten to fourteen miles an hour on any
OF the streets, excepting In the BUSH
ness portion.
1t has been arranged, when special
service Is desired, passengers on trains
approaching Washington from the
East will notify conductor before ar
rival OF train at Washington Junction.
The rates for this extraordinary SER
vice are extremely reasonable, and the
Baltimore s. Ohio Railroad, with It's
advanced ideas and methods, is to be
congratulated in being the first to in
augurate regularly this latest inven-
tion In transportation service.
