FLORENCE TO HAVE
 BIG LIQUOR FIGHT
MATTER OF DISPENSARY TO RE- PLACE PROHIBITION WILL BE SETTLED AT THE NEXT MEET ING OF COUNCIL.

Florence. December 1S.-(Special.) )-There is much talk on the streets of a dispen- sary for Florence to displace the prohi- bition which has been in force for the past two years. number of the mer- chants favor the measure in order to re- duce the privilege tax, which was raised when the revenue from the saloons was cut off A new City Council has just been installed, and the advocates of the dis pensary claim that they will have a ma jority when the vote is taken. The ques- ton will probably come up at the next meeting of the council, which takes place January 2.
 The history of liquor legislation in Lau- derdale county dates back for several years, and has been the cause of num- Der of bitter political fights. A dispensary bill for Lauderdale county was passed by the state legislature and after the sys- tenn had been inaugurated it was found to be defective and the saloons were again opened. When the next legislature con vened in 1903 dspensary candidates were elected by a large majority over their opponents, who favored open saloons, and another dispensary bill was put through.

ITALIAN BOY RESCUED.
Officers Were About to Deport Young
 Immigrant.

Columbus, Ga, December 19.-(Special) ) Gillani Nappi. a 15-year-old boy. has . arrived in Columbus from the sunny shores of Italy after rather an adven- turous trip. It was due only to the en- ergetic efforts of Mayor L. H. Chap pell that the boy did not cross the At lantic ocean twice in the same month.
 Nappi's father, Guesseppe Nappi. is a resident of Columbus and has been eag- erly awaiting the arrival of his son, whom he had not seen in years. A few days ago he received a telegram from friends at Lynn, Mass that his son had arrived and was held by the immi- grafton board for Identification or depor- tation
 Nappi enlisted the aid of Mayor Chap pell. who wired the commission of inn migration at New York to release the boy and turn him over to the Seaboard agent to be sent to Columbus. The com missioner could not locate the boy. The friend at Lynn. Mass, was interrogated by wire and replied that the boy ar rived on the steamship Roumania. The New York commissioner then wired, "Roumania docks at Boston, The may or wired the immigration commissioner at Boston to search for and locate the boy. He replied that Nappi would be released upon receipt of affidavit and BIO. Both were sent, the boy was released, and he is now safe in Columbus. He called upon Mayor Chappell upon his arrival, and being unable to speak Eng fish, expressed his gratitude by kissing the mayors hand
 This has been an exceedingly busy week in Columbus so far. and the holi- day crush grows greater every day. The weather was fair and inviting today and great crowds thronged the streets and stores, merchants doing an immense business. The season will be notable locally for remembrance of the poor and substantial donations to charity. The Elks and Shrners of the secret orders have both appropriated money to be used in carrying Christmas cheer into the homes of the poor.

Tinted States court today, awaiting q decision of the Supreme court of the United States on the questions involved. It is held that the attack was made on negroes especially and that it is a violation of that part of the national law which gives to every man of what ever class or condition, protection of the law.
 The names of the defendants are Will liam Pittman, Fletcher Windham, John Windham, Boss Riley. There are three charges against each one. It is claimed that they warned or took part in giN- ing warning to negroes in Pike county near where they live, to leave the neigh
 borhood on pain of whipping. The ne- groes did not leave and they were cruelty
 beaten, 1t is alleged.
 If the cases had been tried in the state courts there would have been no charge above assault and battery, which, it is claimed would amount to little punish ment, hence they are in the federal court
 to be reached, if possible, on construc- ton of the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution.
 Election Ordered.

 Will List Bridge Tax.
 The Southern railway will probably test the validity of the special bridge tax of mills levied by Dallas county this year. A few days ago an attorney of the rail- read rendered to the tax collector the amount of the taxes due, less the bridge tax, which alone was about s1500. The col lector refused to accept the payment for any of the tax unless all of 1t was paid and unless the railroad pays the same within the time prescribed by law, Janu- ary l, an attachment will probably be is- sued, ana Selfnd fndy see SOHt oiit UT tWo big "mogul'' engines locked to the rails H. the local yard unless the tax is paid.
