 There are fewer pocket peddlers than usual about the streets and In waiting rooms. There are a dozen places where draught ale Is sold as openly as 1t was two years ago.
 Indications point to the fact that Ban gors involuntary and, at times annoying. drought is awing to close. Soon the loaded carts will come in from the hides and "caches out of the city, and Bangor will become the Bangor Il was of old.
 Different reasons are assigned for the gradual relaxation of vigilance on the part of the deputies
 The Rev. MT. owens. one of the officials of the Maine Civic Enforcement league, asserts that while the federal laws pcf- init sealed goods to be delivered to GUS toners by express. it is impossible to secure absolute prohibition in Maine.
 Several of the Sturgs deputies, while in Bangor, claimed that the decision of Justice Savage, granting immunity to express companies having liquor in stor- age or in transit has given the temper ance cause metaphorical black eye.
 Another hypothesis asserts that the republican city committee of Bangor has interceded with the state authorities so strongly and pointed out so forcbly
 
 that, if the present course of raiding were to continue, the republicans of the city and county would meet with a hopeless defeat al the next election, that said au- thorites have tacitly consented to the withdrawal of most of the deputies.
 close search all over Bangor Satur- day morning revealed no more than five Sturgis deputies in the city. As there have been from eighteen to twenty-fi nf these officials In the city for a month past. the withdrawal of more than 10 per cent is taken as a hopeful Indication bv the saloon men and their supporters.
 A leading citizen of Bangor who saw Governor Cobb last week, reports that his exeellency remarked to him in a joking manner:
 What is the trouble with you people in Penobscot county? By the way the complaints come in to me l am led 10 believe that more than half the repuo- licans in Bangor are in favor of the free rum

FACTS ABOUT PROHIBITION

The op posite principle leaves no room for indi- vidual reason and conscience, trusts noth- ing to self-eulture, and substitutes the wisdom of the Senate and assembly for the plan of moral government ordained by Providence The whole progress of society consists in learning how to attain by the independent action or voluntary association of individuals those objects which are at first attempted only through the agency of government and in lessen- ing the sphere of legislation and enlarg- ing that of the individual reason and con- science

WOMAN CUTS HER
 THROAT WITH RAZOR
MOTHER OF SELMA BUSINESS MAN IS FOUND DEAD IN HER ROOM WHEN SON RETURNS TO HIS HOME.

Selma, September 27.-(Special.)- This afternoon, upon his return from a business trip to Marion, w. o. flag erty, upon going home found the door of the room occupied by his mother locked. Breaking the lock, a ghastly sight met his gaze. On her bed was his mother, Mrs. Reece, her throat cut from ear to ear, and in her hand was the blood stained razor with which the deed had been committed.
 Mrs. Reece came to visit her son from Montgomery several days ago, Mrs. Hagerty and the children having gone off on a trip. Mrs. Hagerty ex- pected to be gone only during the day. returning last night. but was detained until today. No motive is ascribed for the deed.
 Mrs. Reece was apparently in good cheer last night about dark when seen by neighbors and the sad act was a terrible blow to the devoted son. The remains will be carried tomorrow morning to Wetumpka for interment.

ARGUMENT BEGINS
 IN TRIAL OF LOST
Will Probably Be Lengthy and Case May Not Go to the Jury Until
 This Afternoon.

All of the evidence was taken and the arguments begun in the case of the state vs George Jost yesterday afternoon. The testimony introduced yesterday bore no material difference from that offered by the witnesses examined on the proceeding day.
 lost the defendant, is charged with hav- ing shot and killed Constable Robert l.. Hamilton on the day after the last shrieval election, and he admits having committed the offense. The defendant of fers a plea of self-defense, stating that Hamilton had threatened and was about to shoot at him when he fired the fatal shot killing the constable.

MAINE TIRED OF PROHIBITION
 WORKING FOR LICENSE SYSTEM

It is peculiar that here in Alabama elections are being held to fasten prohi. bition on the people and in Maine, a state that has tried ii for over fifty years, the people are demanding that both political parties incorporate in their platforms re- submission and local license law. After all these years of trial the people have at last awakened to the fact that prohibi- ton is failure. both from moral and business standpoint and demand that it be abolished.
