GERARD IS STIRRED.
People Aroused Over Legal Aspect of
 Prohibition.

feOple aroused Over Legal Aanecf of Prohibition.
 Girard. Dec. 1S--(Special. )-Girard is considerably wrought up over the per- sistent report that an effort will be made to sell whiskey here next year. despite the fact that the Ala bama Leg tslature some years ago passed a law providing that when Columbus, Ga, just across the Chattahoochee River, went dry. this city should follow suit. {
 There is very persistent rumor that ltuuor men in this city, will resist the Act of the Alabama Legislature on the ground that 1t is a contingent law and will not be sustained by the courts. Some of the whiskey men have denied this. but the rumors have continued and become so insistent that Girard prohibitionists are very much stirred up over the situation.
 mass meeting of the people of the city has been called for Friday night at the Methodist Church. at which some action will be taken. The Cir ard Law and Order League. the Russell County Law and Order League. the wo- mans Christian Temperance> Unions of Columbus. Phenix City and Girard. and the prohibitionists of the three cities will be represented at the meeting.
 The prohibitionists have employed an Opelika law firm to reoresent them. The firm expresses the opinion that the Girard saloons will violate the law if they open their doors after January l.. All Alabama will go dry in year, and the current report is that the Girard saloon men hope to keep the matter in the courts for at least a year and thus continue in business in this city until the State prohibition law becomes ef- fective.
 Just across the line from Girard are 30.000 thirsty Georgians. and they are very much interested in the outcome of the present situation. Two river bridges connect Columbus and Girard. and if saloons in this city should remain open. 1t wouldn't be such a long time between drinks for the Georgians. after all.

 "Oh, I know what it means" said Jessie bitterly. 'Tm not good enough. You're out heiress hunting. You've thought of a better way of getting old Crunden's money than by any percent ages. I'm not such a fool as can't see the meaning of it. It's that Crun- den girl has come between you and me. Jack.'
 Jessie, I've been good pal to you. Don't turn nasty.
 "Yes, and haven't you turned nasty to me? If I'm nasty. I've right to be-and show 1t, too."
 That twas Jacks last promenade with Miss Barter. When 1t was over, he felt clear in conscience and yet pricked by remorse. He was innocent. There was nothing in the indictment, the the charge should never have been pre- ferred; and yet, somehow, he had an uneasy sense that he could not blame his accuser for having brought him into the dock."

CHAPTER XXI.

The tide was turning.
 Mir. Crunden was in danger of losing the old prefix to his name. Perhaps for six months no one but Miss Bar ter had called him Hedgehog. One day walking thoughtfully, he stopped short, turned. and looked back at three men standing by the corner of street. As he passed, they had done some thing very unusual; each of the three had touched his hat Preoccupied by his thoughts. Mir. Crunden had, never theless, noticed the unexpected action of the three hands. and now he stared in reflective surprise. He did not even know the men; they had never been in his employ; they were merely salut- ing a famous citizen. Then, day after day, he observed that this new custom

Holds Half Hour Session With Retiring Finance Board
 Members.

No Result Yet of Attempt to Keep the Body Intact, at Least Up
 to February I.

Mayor studley last night talked for a half hour with George W. Lewis, Ed ward c. Frederick Henry Herz, and Robert H. Nesbit, members of the fin ance board, hoping that he could per suade them to remain with the board until February 1, but so far as he has been unsuccessful Ali recently re- signed and in pressing his request that they remain until February | the may or hopes to facilitate the operation of the board under the administration of the incoming city executive, James R. Martin. Before the conference MT. Frederick said he did ilt sue how he could remain on the board longer. He said he had been neglecting his busl- ness for sometime, and his severing his connection with the board would afford him better opportunity to become ae- quainted with 1t, ne said After the conference MT. Herz said that he would be content to remain on the board until February 1 in order to help the city in connection with matters that have been pending before the board for some time, if the others were of the same mind.
 George W. Lewis and Robert Fl Nes- bit had not made up their minds as to whether they would stay until Feb ruary 1.
 As the matter now stands Messrs. Lewis Nesbit, Frederick and Herz re- signed shortly after the election of Mayor elect James B. Martin, they be. ing republicans Mr, Lewis term ends February 1, that of MT, Nesbitt Feb. ruary 1, 1909, that of Mir Herz Febru- ary 1, and that of Mir Frederick Feb ruary 1.

Mar tin announced the appointments of this trio MT, Nesbiyt had not sent in his resignation to the mayor and cons9- quently MT, Martin has not yet named any one to succeed him.
