WHISKY MEN
GIVE UP.

A representative of prominent
whisky concern was heard to say a
day or two since he was satisfied the
legislature which assemblies here
next january would give the state
statutory prohibition, and for one he
was not going to stand IN the way
of the avalanche that has already be-
gan to roll down ON the heads of the
ants. He was confident that state
wide prohibition is coming, and that
the first bill introduced in either house
will go through like wlirlwi1ld
across Texas plain. He had not

a resolution offered by Rev. II. w
Featherstun, chairman bf the COM

ference to send up strong petition
at the very beginning of the session
demanding that the sale of liquor be
stead of through local option cleo
tons as is now done, and that social
clubs be denied the right to dispense
liquid refreshments of any kind to
their members.

Presbyterian have done the same,
the w. c. T. U. have been on that line
for some time, and when all of them
get before the temperance commit

there will be but slight protest
That is the conviction here, though
it is said the whisky men are going
TO make a stand and die III the very

At this time there are only eight

liquor can be sold legally. They arc

Madison has already voted dry,
and all saloons will close the hrst
Of January next, or soon thereafter.
The sentiment against the sale Of

THE SOUTH IN CONGRESS.
The Old Time Senator is Fast Disap-

In criticising the recent speech or

the part of men who essay to stand
for Southern sentiments. 1t is uia-
