PETITION FOR PROHIBITION.
sheraf ordered te Give Notice of Eie'

Sheriff Ordered to Give Notice of Eiec~ | tion for This Purpose. | Tuscaloosa, July 6.-A-( Especial )--What promises to stir up right lively time in Tuscaloosa County during the next i sixty days is an order recently issued by Hon. James c. Brown, Probate Judge of this county, directed to SheriH Kyle ordering the latter to give notice of a prohibition election to be held in Tus- caloosa County on Thursday the 20th day of September, 1905.
 It eoms that quite a number of cit- izens in the county petitioned the Pro- l bate Judge to call this election. ana the Probate Judge acting under an act of the Legislature approved May 1st. 1881. called this election.
 Quite number of the best lawyers of this place have expressed their opinion that the act in question is un- constitutional and void, and some have expressed the opinion to the effect that it was repealed by the dispensary act of February 27, 1901. Quite a large number of people have signed the pe. tition asking the Probate Judge to call | this election. but a great many of them are not qualified electors, and 1t is very probable that some of those who signed the petition would vote against prohi- bition. It is believed generally that the election will bring on a very warm contest. and most of the conservative people in the community are desirous of avoiding this election if possible. It is rumored that legal steps will be taken to prevent the holding of the election. It is probable that an in- junction or a writ of prohibition. ar perhaps both will be sued out to pro- hibit the clerk, sheriff and probate judge from appointing managers, clerks and returning officers to hold the elec- tion
