 By About 400 ALL RETURNS NOT YET IN Though the Dispensary Can Run But Three More Months the New Gov erning Law Went Into Ef-

ALL RETURNS NOT YET IN

Tuscaloosa, October 1.-(Special)-Th returns from the election are coming in rather slowly, there still being six beats in the county as yet not heard from. These. however, are all small and their results will not change to any great ex- tent the present status of the count. It now appears that the prohibition ma jority will not be as large as was thought last night. In addition to the beats here tofore reported upon. three others have given good majorities for the dispensary and one, Mitchells. was misquoted in last nights bulletin. This, it seems, gave pro- hibition l5 majority instead of 40, as at first given out It is now estimated that the official count will give prohibition between $50 and 400 majority.
 Today, although the olspensary is doomed and has only three and one half months in which to run it's course, the new dispensary law went into effect. This requires that only one pint of whisky as a maximum amount can be sold any one person In the same day, and that as small purchase one ounce can be made There are also provisions that dnyOIt dppiylHB lO Duy al ScNOHd LiilC 10 guilty of a misdemeanor. or any employe selling or handing or delivering a pur- chase to any one who has formerly made a purchase during the day Is guilty of a misdemeanor; also that any one buying or attempting to buy any whisky for a person who has made a purchase during the day shall be deemed guilty of q misdemeanor.
 Some changes have been made neces- sary in the building, also, a result of the new law. This consists in having two departments, one for the purchasing agent. and one for the dispenser. To citizens living without the corporate linn its of the city, one quart Is the maximum limit of the purchase for any one day.
 The residence of J. T. Garner, the father of Tom Garner, editor of the Times Ga zette, was seriously damaged by fire last night The fire had made great headway before it was discovered, and it was only due to the heroic efforts of the fire de- partment that any of the building was saved. The fire originated in the kitchen All of the furniture was saved in fairly good condition. The house was insured. H. H. Cribbs, a respected citizen of the town. had bad fall Saturday night.

from all sides presents bold and

About the year 1770 a series Of
melancholy incidents occurred in the
territory of the Illini tribe of Indians,
the memories of which gave to the
rock it's name. It's beauty is unchang-

was first seen by white men, Mar

explorers, in 1873. Here is found in

walled inlets decorated with ferns and
lichens, with some lone cedar or pine,
standing lofty on an inaccessible,
rocky ledge.
Marquette and Joliet landed oppo-

the great Indian village of the Illini
was situated. In 1851, La Sale, who
was given the right to trade with the
Indians by Louis XIV, erected fort
upon the rock, calling it Fort st.
Louis. This fort was later destroyed.
The final tragedy, which gave the
rock its name was caused by the MUIR
