PROHIBITION TALK
AN ELECTION WILL UNQUEsTION-
 ABLY HE HELD.
Passage of the New Liquor Law to Go Into Effect in October Will Strengthen the Dispen-
 sary Issue.

Tuscaloosa, Aug 12.--(Speciai. )Slnce the enactment of the new dispensary bill as drafted by Senator Moody of this county. and which pertains to this county, the Board of Mayor and AL dermen have been discussing the nec- essary changes that will have to be effected in the work here.
 Just at this time there Is also an ef- fort on foot that will probably be car ried out, to bring on an election to try to get prohibition in the county. Ac- cording to the dispensary law, the city will have to put in the new measures and conform in general to the new law by October. and. at the same time, 1t is quite possible that as soon as the new equipment and the extla department for the purchasing agent are fixed up. the county will go prohibition and the extra expense will be wasted
 There is quite an amount of interest ing talk now in regard to the matter of prohibition and there win unques- tionably be an election held here at an early date.
 It was predicted that the county would go prohibition before the enact ment of the new dispensary law, but the passage of this measure. it is thought by many, will have the effect to strengthen the dispensary issue. Local Photographers Out.
 The local managers of both the West ern Union and the Postal Telegraph Companies have gone out on the gen. eral strike. There have been no mes- sages sent or received here since Sat- urday night. The men here had re- ceived no strike orders when they took this action, but were moved 70 do so on account of the conditions prevailing in Birmingham and Meridian,
 When messages began 10 come in from scab employees from these cities, the operators here declined to receive them and wired in their resignations to headquarters, being unwilling to work with non-union men at the other ends of the lines. Men are expected In to fill their places as soon as the matter can be arrived at.
 At an early hour this morning q ne- gro hack driver named Taggart drove into a live wire on Sixth Street, and both of his horses were killed immedt- ately.
 It seems that the rope for letting down the suspended light at the cor ner of Sixth Street and Twenty-second Avenue had broken and the lamp had fallen to the ground. This put 1t out and the negro not seeing the condition drove directly itno it.
