The aamurai youths were taught to
commit harakid rather than submit To

 Any reference above to the prescription proposition by the honorable physicians or Jefferson county is not intended as re- flection upon them, because the writer or this article knows full well that there are many of them who can be trusted, even against their own purses, when It comes to a matter of honor vs. dollars, yet there may be some who. like the generality or humanity, can not forgo the offers neid out by plethoric purses.
 No reference would be made 10 Sec. + of the Lovelady law had it not been that false rumor has been circu- lated to the effect that should the vote for prohibition fail in Jefferson county those precincts in said county in which all intoxicants are now prohibited, would become as riotous through the sale or whisky as they charge the city ot BIT minRham is.

The act recently passed by the legisla- ture of Alabama to prohibit. regulate and restrict the sale or other disposition (which includes, of course, the giving away) of intoxicating liquors, drinks or beverages within the state of Alabama, by providing for elections in the various counties Cf the state to determine whether the sale or other disposition Of such ln- toxicating liquors, drinks or beverages shall be so prohibited, regulated and re- stricted. provides, among other provisions, as follows;
 Sec. r. Neither the provisions or this act nor the result of any election held under such act snail have the effect to repeal or annul any law which now or which at the time of such election prohib- it's the sale or other disposition of in- toxcating liquors, drinks or beverages within any county or precinct of such county"
 The provisions of See. k. following S\c r, is that any practicing physician may prescribe one quart of whisky to any patron of his who is in good standing on his books This is a terrible leeway to an invasion of the liquor barrel for money counts
 To show the pharsieal feature of this section we need only refer to the record made at the state capitol of Kansas. Month after month the sale of intoXicants, under the guse of medicine keeps up to high spirit level The last month the returns are given. which was the month of August in which it might have been anticipated that there would have been a great falling off in sales owing to the

last week, however. things have been looking up bit. Several old and new men, who at first did not seem in- clined to come out, have donned their togs and reported for work. Moreover, the team has improved very much of late Tn the execution of it's plays. The attack, which a week ago seemed rather loose and spiritless has improved wonderfully in accuracy and strength, but the de- fense is still not what it should be, as is proved by the fact that the scrub team is able to score almost every day.
 Coach Pollard has not yet fully decided on his lineup for the opening game. In fact. if it is feasible, he will give as many men as possible try-out. The team for today will be chosen from the following men:
 Center-Countess.
 Guards-Lumley Hobbs. Pratt, D. B.
 Tackles-Burks, Green. Gresham, Allen Ends-Edwards, Jones, B.. Mudd Pratt, w.; Brinkmann, Overton, Morgan.
 Ouarter-Hannon. Hutchens.
