Mr.. Dewberry, the promoter of the con-
Germ, was warmly received by the council
and in fact the town as a whole welcomes
this enterprise heartily and with the be-
lief that it is the beginning of a new
ear of prosperity for Tuscaloosa.
Too much cannot be said of the value
of such a lecture as was delivered last
night at the Ellts' auditorium. There was

there failed to be impressed by what
he had to say. The lecture was delivered

association, from purely altrulstc
promptings is giving these timely adj

extent they never had before, the insanl-

National Temper ence.

Washington, D. G. May.-When
Congress convenes in December
another effort will be made by the
temperance people in every section
of the country to drive whiskey
from the Capital City. Such an
effort was made during last Con
gress, but the whiskey and beer
interest filled the City of Washing
ton with lobbyists who threatened
to defeat the Republican Party in
several closely contested States If
the leaders of that party in Con
gress did not kill the proposed
legislation. The threats of t b e
whiskey lobbyists frightened the
Republican leaders into defeating
the bill, but such storm OF pro
test was raised throughout t h e
country that those interested III
this great temperance movement
are confident that the next Con
gress will pass a bill prohibiting
the sale of liquor in any form in
the District of Columbia. I h e
temperance people are fu y
aroused to the situation and al
ready Members Of Congress are
receiving letters by the score
urging them to vote to drive John
Barleycorn form the seat of the
National Government.

A Great Revival.

The greatest revival in the his
tory of Fitzgerald came to trium
plant climax last Sunday night al
the Central Methodist Church.
The church was crJwdel to the
limit of stan ling loom and the
windows aud do0rwayS were used
by the crowds looking on from the
outside. The church could not &C
cOmmodate more than six or seven
hundred people, and it is probably
true that quite as many turned
away as gained access to the build
ing.
1t was a love feast from the be-
ginning and lasted more than two
hours.
Evangelist I. M. Christian was
in cha rye of the meeting and was
at his best, although slightly jaded
from the hard ten days work that
has been so fruitful of good for
Fitzgerald. He was surrounded
by nearly every minister of the
city who had heartily co-operated
with him in the E'Union" meeting.
His qualification at the sum total
of results was inspiring.
Hundreds of people openly and
expressedly Endorsed the good
work that had been accomplished
and promise faithful cooperation
in perpetuating the campaign.
Fitzgerald is the beneficiary
in this campaign against sin.
Musical director Hamp Sewell,
contributed largely to the great
success of the meeting and has made
hundreds of friends in Fitzgerald,
who will remember him years to
come.
Rev I. M. Christian literally
won the hearts of our good people,
who viii invite him here again
some day when we need a. revival
of religion.
Pastor John G. Flanders is hap
DIV over the rerults and his joy is
shared by the other pastors Of the
city.
The city has felt the influence OF
the great meeting throughout it's
social and business circles.

to which he received the follow

the state troops and needed them
badly, made deep impression on
the public mind. 1t is realized
that one of the greatest safeguards
against serious trouble is state of
preparedness, and there will occa-
sionally comes time, in the best
regulated communities, when the
situation is liable to get beyond the
control of the civil authorities.
In order that the military may
be kept at the highest degree OF
efficiency there should be all ade-
quate armory in every city OF
town where there is a military
company and this is the policy On
which the state of Georgia will in
sist in the future.
The people at large will sustain
this idea and in every community
will support such project.

"Atlanta appreciates her volun-
teer soldiers so much that money
is being subscribed to send the en-
