II see that Judge Sam Adams has re-
signed the office of probate Judge of Chill
ton county" remarked politician last
night. This case recalls to mind more
of the history Of populism in Alabama.
Sam Adams was once strong leader of
that party when 1t flourished In this
state. In fact he was elected to the office
of probate judge >on that ticket. During
his incumbency, he left the party joining
the ranks of democracy, and was renom-
mated for reelection by the latter party
In primary election last spring. Shortly
after his nomination, however. he with
drew from the race, and expressed a de-
sire for private life
Judge Adams is a good man. He is

mony the couple who took their honey

TENDENCY FOR TEMPERANCE.

From the Southern Churchman.
One of the most striking and hopeful
signs of all this land today is the steady
and persistent growth of the temperance
sentiment.
Many now living, and very far from
being old men and women even yet. can
very well remember when any effort to-
wards the advancement of the cause of
temperance was not even taken seriously
by the majority of people, Nbut was only
met by ridicule and contempt. And any
argument In return, and simply provoked
to the calling of hard names and appli-
cation of titles and terms Of reproach.
Men who advocated and tried to advance
the cause of temperance were branded
fanatics or 'bigots' or 'ignoramuses'
and dismissed as not amenable to reason
The opponents of temperance were as
sumed to have all reason and all judgment
and all Intelligence and information on
their side. They were the "well-bal-
anced" people, the people above fanati-
cism," and open to reason and argument
There are painfully many men and women
who can wildly recall all this style of
reasoning. But in spite of all idle,
silly, vicious and selfish argument and
opposition, the good fight has gone stead
lily on and the cause of temperance has
made steady and persistent progress.
