CITY LICENSES
CITY FATHERS DO NOT WAIT FOR
 VETO MESSAGE.
New Schedule is Introduced i'm Council, Insurance Companies Being Fixed at $4OO and Saloons at
 S0OO and $500.


 The session of the City Council of Montgomery last night was brief and bloodless.
 All that the usually truculent city fathers did was to introduce a new license ordinance and dispose of an- other small matter of routine busi- ness.
 The City Council was not officially advised that the Mayor had vetoed their old license ordinance. The City Council didn't wait for the veto. An other law was prepared and introduced to take its place before the official tin can was officially applied to the ordinance.
 The new measure is changed only that the license for fire insurance com panies is raised to s400 and the license of saloons to $500 and $500, according to their geographical location.
 The new ordinance was introduced by Alderman Lobman as soon as the Council was called to order He asked for a suspension of the rules that 1t be passed. Alderman Sullivan objected and the matter went over until the next regular meeting.
 The saloon license is fixed at S600 for all retail liquor dealers doing busi- ness within the fire limits, save those dealers doing business east of Me Donough Street and on Court Street north of Jefferson Street.
 The exceptions. with the saloons be- yond the fire limits. can do business for $300 per annum.
 On motion of Alderman Gunter, the bid of Lorenzo Davis for adding two rooms to the Girls High School build ing, which was rejected on account of a technicality, was again received and referred with other bids to the Committee on Schools.
 The Committee on Judiciary intro duced an ordinance providing for the keeping open of ice houses on Sunday and requiring all ice wagons to carry regulation scales. This took the usual course of lying on the table until the next regular meeting.

NEGROES ARRESTED.
Twenty-Icight Charged With Lettering
 About q suburban Beer Hall.


 Twenty-eight negroes, members of what would be called in Chicago pa pers "colored society" were corralled by the Montgomery Police Department last night and charged with lettering,
 Incidentally a Syrian, Gomez by name, was charged with owning and operating a dance hall where intoxi- cants were sold.
 It seems that in Belle Air a suburb of Montgomery, Gomez has established dance hall for the dadker hued pop ulation and there he also dispenses brews that made Milwaukee, St. Louis, Evansville, Chattanooga, Montgomery and other places justly famous.
 This is not allowed under the ordi- nances of the City of Montgomery. Accordingly there was an increase of twenty eight on the ordinary police docket and Recorder Baber will have a number of cases to dispose of today.

Petitions for Prohibition.

T. H. Friel, former mayor of North Birmingham, today started petitions addressed to the probate judge of Jeff ferson county asking that he order an election to be held in the fall so that the people can vote for or against pro. hibition. Under the law adopted by the last Legislature the probate judge of a county can be petitioned and with the proper number of signatures to the petition must issue the call for an election to bring about prohibition.
 Mr Friel states that large major ity of those approached have signed the petitions and there is no doubt but that in a few weeks more than double the number of signatures ne- cessaryAwill have been secured.
 The committee named by the Pas tors Union held anotheri meeting to- day and reiterated the determination to have an election in Jefferson eoun- ty this fall to decide on prohibition so that liquor can be regulated by Jam uary 1, 1908.
 Mir. Friel appears to be in earnest and in an interview says that he will stand all expenses in getting the re- quired signatures to the petitions.

It takes more hard work than the average person would think for single editor to gather togeth- CT, write and read proof on all the matter that is contained in The Log Cabin Democrat from week to week. Metropolitan newspapers whose editions appear almost hour ly are prone to laugh at the coun- try editor, who thinks he is doing extremely we'll to Ego to press" on time once week. But the coun- try editor works under difficulties about which the city man never dreams. And he covers his field much more carefully and .correctly than his metropolitan brother. How many times have our readers seen an account of an event, about which they happen to know the facts, correctly reported in a city newspaper? An occurrence detail ed without an error in a large daily newspaper is the exception, rather than the rule.

Mason E. Mitchell, formerly of this city but now of Panama, where he is Cashier of the International Banking Corporation, has been se- lected by the International Con- mittee of the Y. M. c. A. to be General Secretary of that organ ization in the Canal zone. Early in 1oo4 MT. Mitchell was selected by Admiral Walker to be Paymas- ter of the Isthmian Canal Commis- sion at Panama, and the next year, when a Y. M. c. A. was organized there, he was made a member of the Executive Committee, and also Treasurer of that organization, and has assisted In doing very large work in Panama and the Canal zone. It is not probable that MT. Mitchell will accept this position, but we feel that his friends here should know that he has been made an offer. And we know that, should he accept it, the Com mittee will get a very good man for the place.

Sunday night an attempt was made to burn the Conway public school building. So far as is known, no clue has been obtained as to the guilty incendiary. The hour at which the act was com. mitted and the attending circum- stances, however, would seem tc indicate that it was the work of a child. How many Conway par ents know just where their children were at seven o'clock Sunday night? How many know just where their children are at all hours of every night? Somebody $ child attempted to commit this out rage. Could you, if necessary, go before a court and swear that il was not your child? You cannot unless you are able satisfactorily to answer the first question. The moral is clear.

the law with impunity, and the chances would be against their punishment. To such township, in fact, all the lawless negroes in the county would ask for changes of venue when arrested and brought to trial. Such conditions could easily be developed as would make it impossible for white peo- pie to dwell in these townships. Political townships are supposed to be created for the convenience of the voters and of those having business in the magistrates courts, and should in nocase be so large as to put the precincts to an incon- venient distance from any voters. But in Cadron township, outside of the city of Conway, peculiar conditions exist, so that, we are in- formed, it is almost impossible to form a township without it con- taining a negro majority. In such event, it might be we'll, for the convenience of voters, to make voting precincts, as has been done in the case of old Stone township, which would give the voters the desired convenience without sub- jecting them to the risk of negro domination.

The recent overhows of the va rious creeks of the county demon strate forcibly the need which has often been urged by The Log Cab in Democrat of the construction ot steel bridges in the place of the wooden structures. We have four frst-class steel bridges, and, though the waters reached the highest point ever known, not one oi them was injured, while a half dozen wooden bridges were de stroyed and several others serious ly damaged. Everyone, of course would like to see the county out of debt, but our present indebted ness, as compared with the wealth of the county, is insignificant
 And it should make very little difference how great the indebted
 ness is, so long as that indebted
 ness is represented in the form 0 substantial steel bridges, whici will endure, with little eXpenst for repairs, for all time to come.

A Violet Luncheon.

Mrs. J. M. Ligon entertained a number of her friends in her ele gant home on Robinson avenue with a "violet Luncheon" Tuesday afternoon. The rooms were thrown together and profusely decorated with violets and these lovely flow CTS were seen in immense punches in tall vases, on mantels and clus- tered in bowls on tables. In fact their presence and perfume pervad- ed everywhere. For entertainment the ever popular game of progress i've dominoes was played and here the violet idea was apparent. The score markers were punches of violets tied with white ribbon and tally was kept by tieing violets to the white ribbons. Mrs. Haydon won first prize, handsome vase filled with an immense cluster of violets. Miss Nelle East drew con- solation, pretty violet holder also filled with violets. Miss Julia Robins was awarded the booby, a large bunch of violets tied with violet streamers. In the refresh ments the color scheme was again dominant. Throughout the after noon, violet punch was served and the ice cream also showed this lovely tint. Delicious and dainty cake was served. Mrs. Ligon was assisted in receiving and entertain ing her guests by Mesdames Lay, Martin and Sturgiss. The after noon was delightfully."- spent by those present.

MUST PRODUCE EVIDENCE
Case Decided by Supreme Court
 Monday.
Law Requiring Corporations to Testify and Produce Books is Declared
 Constitutional

Little Rock, January I4.-The supreme court of the state of Ark ansas this morning affirmed the de- cision of the lower court in the Hammond Packing company vs. the State and thereby decided that the portion of the antitrust law passed by the last legislature re- quiring that corporations against whom suit has been brought for alleged violations of the antitrust law shall bring before commis- sioner books, papers, etc., and tes- tify to show that they are not mem bers of a pool, trust or combine, is constitutional.
 The case was taken to the su- preme court from the second divis- ion of the Pulaski county circuit court and by the decision the Ham mond Packing company is declar- ed to be indebted to the state in the sum of $Io, ,ooo for alleged viol- ation of the antitrust law. This is the first case under the suits re- gently brought by Prosecuting At torney Lewis Rhoten, Attorney General Rogers and council to be decided, and upon this decision rests the results of the other suits. The attorneys for the state declare that by this decision their further prosecution of the suits against the five other packing companies has been greatly strengthened.
 It cannot be stated at this time whether or not the case will be ap- pealed to the supreme court of the United States.
 The opinion was handed down this morning by Chief Justice Jos eph Hill.
