DRY DIXIE IS PLANNED.

Dixie is to go dry, and thus set an example that will soon be followed by the rest of the coun- try. This is the dictum of the distinguished temperance expon- ents who are celebrating Nation al Temperance Day at the James, town Exposition today, follow ing the Convention of the Nat ional Anti-Saloon League, which has been in session here during the past week. The great expo sition auditorium was we'll filled with the prohibition hosts when the meeting was called to order, and the milk white flag was in much evidence. A "call to the states was the feature of the day, delegates from all sections telling of their victories over the rum demon. The greatest en- thusiasm was manifested as speaker after speaker told brief ly of battles fought and won in the cause of temperance. Appar- ently the Southern States are now leading in the movement, and it was freely predicted that in the course of a few years there will be a new Solid South solid for the absolute prohibi- ton of the manufacture or sale of any kind of intoxicating bev- erages.
 On the face of 1t this change in Southern sentiment is one of the most amazing ethical move ments ever witnessed, but the thoughtful adherents of the cause admit that 1t is not altogether due to the agitation of temper ance people, but has a sound eco- homie basis. The labor of neg roes is necessary to the prosper ity of the South, and it has been proven to the satisfaction of the Southern people that liquor is largely responsible for the shift lessness, laziness and crime of the black race. The race riots in Atlanta, originating in the low groggeries, did much to bring about the passage of the Georgia prohition law, which becomes effective on January l next.
 In other commonwealths of Dixie the temperance hosts are in the ascendant. Kentucky, once the stronghold of the liquor business, is rapidly becoming re- formed. More than 8Oq6 of Tex as is said to be covered by prohi- bition laws. Liquor has been driven from every part of Tenn essee except the big cities. Most sections of Mississippi are dry as a bone. Alabama is likely to soon join the temperance ranks. North Carolina's next legislature will consider a prohibition laws. Scores of Virginia counties and towns have voted out rum. Af- ter much experiment in the reg ulation of the sale of liquor, South Carolina is said to be ripe for the prohibitionists' picking. Liquor has been driven from all but the urban districts of Mis- souri.
 Delegates from the West and North are exceedingly hopeful, and declare that within a decade the death knell of the liquor bus mess will be sounded throug the land.
