MAY EN0IN JUDGE
ANTI-PRoHIBTTIoNIsTs MAY PRE-
 VENT ELECTION CALL.
aumor Prevails in Magic City That Liquor Dealers Have Employed
 Eminent Counsel to Delay Prohibition Petitions.

Birmingham, Sept. 14.-(Special)- )-An interesting statement prevailed in Jef- rerson County Saturday morning in connection with the campaign for pro- nibition to the effect that an attempt Will be made by the whiskey element or Birmingham to enjoin Judge Samuel E. Greene, of the probate court, from ordering an election to determine whether or not the people of this city shall have prohibition.
 In this way, 1t Is said, the opponents or prohibition hope to delay the elec- ton so that the saloons will not be forced to close until January l. 1909. if by then. Eminent counsel has been employed, 1t is understood. and the liquor people 1t Is reported are ready to make application for the injunction the moment the petition Is filed with Judge Greene and he is requested to order an election.
 While the antis are getting ready to attempt delay in the election so that rum may be sold in Birmingham one year longer than 1t could be dispensed under the present plan. should prohibi- ton prevail, the prohibitionists are preparing not only to drive whiskey out of Birmingham at an earlier date. but drive 1t from the entire State. The prohibitionists in retaliation, it Is said, will not only seek to prevail upon Gov ernor Conner to include a prohibition bill in his call for an extra session of the Legislature. which now seems in- evitabie. but they will take steps to have the Legislature amend the present local option law so that even if the sa- loon men do succeed in delaying the election few months, the saloons will have to close before January 1. 1909, if prohibition carried in this County. This is understood to mean that prohibition may be delayed in Birmingham a few months longer than was expected, in the event the saloon men carry out their program, but that general pro- hibition may prevail in the State near ly four years earlier than was antici- pated by the most sanguine prohibi- tionists.
 Walter l.. Sessions, Chairman of the Prohibition Campaign Committee. has called in all petitions addressed to the probate judge by Monday so that the same can be punched and prepared for presentation. He announces that he does not doubt but that the election will be ordered at once. Inasmuch as majority of the voters in the County have affixed their names to these peti- tions he expects the election to carry in favor of prohibition. The prohibi- tion campaign in Jefferson County is very strong both sides having men of strength leading the fight.

and two birthday cakes, and told them
we had come to take supper with
them. Sitting on the back gallery
was an old Watts negro woman who
must be as old as Methusaleh. She
was an old grandma when / was
little girl, and my father says he has
been used to her all his life, likewise
his father. She just happened TO come

some to their homes in other cities,
who remembered the day with letters
and gifts to their dear mother Our
father spoke Of how many birthdays
