MOBILE SENDS UP
 ANOTHER PETITION
GOVERNOR AND LEGISLATURE ARE ASKED NOT TO PASS THE CARMICHAEL BILL FOR STATE PROHIBITION,

Mobile, November 18.-(Special. At a meeting of the board of revenue and road commissioners of Mobile county today a memorial to the governor and the legislature of the state of Ala bama was adopted, embracing the fol- lowing. The enactment into statutory law of the measure known as the Car michael prohibition bill and it's ap- proval by the executive would affect the revenue of Mobile city and county disastrously, depriving the county treasury of $6O,O0o in revenues an nually, which revenues cannot be sup piled except by other special enact ments at the present session of the leg islature whereas the prohibition of the commerce in liquors Is at present rec ognized as lawful by the Congress and in a majority of the commonwea lths of the republic of the United States; the past experience of every civilized country shows that prohibition laws are ineffective in operation and that evils of drink are better cured by law full regulation; the guiling principal of democracy has been from the foun- dation of the party home rule in such matters.
 This principle has been emphasized in all other actions of your honorable leg islature and on this question Mobile county was canvassed by the incum- bent of the executive office. with the pledge that he would favor local option if chosen as the democratic party's candidate.
 The legislature of Alabama is asked not to pass the Carmichael prohibition bill. but to leave the question in the hands of the communities as provided by house bill No. 2S, February 26 1907. The petition is signed by John T. Rauer chairman Frank F. Andrews, John Cowley, John D. Hagan and John Simmons, board of revenue and road commissioners of Mobile county.

county is largely responsible for the state law being passed, if 1t IS, that county being Bullock, where the local option measure was enjoined. As re- suit it was feared other counties would have the same trouble. so the mem- bers said it would be best to put out the whole state.
 Ballard Bill.
 Many of the prohibition favorites are against the Ballard bill for constitutional prohibition and it's chances to pass are rather slim, it is thought. It was set down for a call on Monday evening, but its friends thought best to carry it over to Tuesday or after the action of the senate on the Carmichael bill for statu- tory prohibition. This bill is one to put an amendment to the constitution before the people. Many leading lawyers think this would be a bad move.
 Among the ardent prohibition men IS Col H. s. D. Mallory chairman of the state democratic committee. He is here to help in any way he can the fortunes of the bill for statutory prohibition, and If needed could be called upon for aid for the constitutional prohibition measure He is against whisky any way, shape, form or fashion and will be ready to help its exit from the state anyway he can He expressed his views very foreibly from time to time where it would count.
 Hayes Tells Story.
 Senator Hayes of Limestone was re- garded as not certain for a prohibition bill until about Friday. Then it was that he got two telegrams. One from d man who had opposed the railroad measures, who suggested, that as he had done, in the passage of the railroad bills. all the harm he could, please vote for the prohibition bill and do some good. The telegram was from one of his supporters and very good friends, and he thinks it is up to him to get in line, specially as almost all the voters in his county are putting on the pressure.
 Senator Hayes says there is another in- centive. He has had little argument with his wife. He tells the story of tho settlement of an argument between a friend and his wife. He thought they should have cotton sheets for the beds she arguing for linen. How did you settle it?" he was asked "Oh, we com promised by getting the linen sheets,' was the reply. "I am thinking I will com promise with my wife by voting for the bll," said the tall senator from Lime stone.
 There seems at this time no doubt of the passage of the Carmichael bill. It is fostered by support that seems cer- tain to put 1t through. The fact is there may not be a speech against it. Senator Teasley might talk. but 1t gives his peo- pie 10 months more than Q local option bill would, so he will be very glad no doubt to let it go. AIr Hamburger of Mobile may address the members against it but he has given no notice of such in- tention.

Funeral of criasby Edmundson.

The funeral of the late Grigsby Ed mundson took place from the residence of his father, pr. Edmundson, at Wood ward this afternoon at o'clock. The ser vices both at the house and the grave were conducted by the Rev. w. E. Morris, pastor of the Methodist church of this city The interment took place at Cedar Hill, and the following gentlemen acted as pallbearers: Walter Lowe. Howe Price, Lewis Martin, Girard Crook. Bruce Ma bors, Wood Price, Buck Austin and John Neil. The young man was only F years of age and his death is deeply regretted by his many admirers and friends. The death of the young man came as sad blow to his bereaved parents and family. Deceased leaves besides his mother and father, two sisters and three brothers.
 The death of this young man was q par ticularly sad one. Up to Saturday even ing hopes were held out for his ultimate recovery. but he was unable to withstand the inroads that the dread typhoid fever had made upon his system, and he passed away late Saturday evening" The scene at the grave was indeed a beautiful one. The grave was banked with flowers and ferns, placed there by loving hands as a last sad token of the esteem in which the young man was held by all who knew him.

BUSINESS BRISK
 WITH THE BANKS Bessemer Council to Hold Meet
 ing Tonight
PASS NEW LICENSE TAXES
Friends Pay Last Tribute To Griesby Edmundson-Circus Has Arrived In Full Force-Personal
 and General News.

Bessemer, November 1s.-(Special.) J. Business in this city started off at a good rate this morning and the mer- chants in all lines look for good trade during the week. Both the Bessemer Ma tional and the Bessemer State bank report having done q good day in banking cir cles in this city, but rather an off day as far as general business is concerned However, the merchants state that con- sidering the prevailing cry of hard times they believe business to be very good, and at the end of the week they believe the sales in the different departments will show up very well indeed.
 1t was reported in the city today that one or more of the furnaces that have been closed down during the past week would open up some time during the com ing week. This rumor has not been con- firmed, but 1t is the general opinion that such will be the case 1t is understood that Fossell mines, which were closed down during the past week. necessitating the laying off of about 900 men, have re- stunned operations, and it is thought they will run every other day at least.

Council Meeting Tonight.

The Bessemer City Council will meet in regular session tomorrow evening, and it is thought that there will be lots doing. The license schedule which has been con sidored in special session for the past two weeks, will be put on it's first read ing, and every citizen is cordially in- vited to be present and express views on the subject of raising. The schedule has been very carefully considered, and all the raises that have been made have been made with the end in view that the city would be benefited.
 Another matter of importance that will no doubt come up for consideration will be the granting of a franchise on Second avenue, between Nineteenth and Eigh- teenth street, to the Alabama Terminal company for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company. Considerable opposition to the granting of this fran chise is already manifest from the fact that the Tidewater Development company already have a franchise to run along this avenue, and it is pointed out by some that if the Birmingham Railway Light and Power company are allowed to lay d track along the same avenue, it will mean that the Tidewater company will insist upon laying two. and the avenue is too narrow to admit of laying three tracks.

The Show Has Come.

The great and only Robinson show blew into town at an early hour this morning and ever since their arrival the small boy and the grown up, nave been on pins and needles to see who could get to the show grounds first. The general show is about like all travelling shows, the only difference being that this show does carry with it some really good fea- lures. The grafters are in attendance so are the spelers The side shows are good and the music Is the worse ever. The attendance for this evening was fine and the way that money went around no one would ever dream that they were talking of hard times in tnls city. The show will be in the city for a week. It is being given under the auspices of the Elks and Eagles, and that Is a guarantee that the show will be run along good lines.
 A certain amount of the proceeds will go to the two lodges for the purpose of raising funds for the annual Christ mas trees which these lodges give for tho poor children every Christmas.
