The latter has been the agent for the Anti-Saloon League in Alabama and brought on the big fight for prohibition in Jefferson Coun- ty. The representative of the manu- lecturers Is named c. E. Fisher. &C., cording to The Bee.
 The Bee says:
 70. E. Fisher. formerly of Cleve- land. representative. he says. of or ganized Alabama manufacturers. is in the city Investigating the campaign made for Sunday closing two years ago by the Rev. Brooks Lawrence.
 Fisher says that the manufactur- CTS are afraid that Lawrence will suc- ceed in drying Alabama. Because of the prospect of prohibition in Ala bama, according to Fisher, it Is hard to induce workingmen, especially iron men, to accept employment.
 'The steel and iron magnates of Ala bama do not wish prohibition in the State as it is in Georgia
 Fisher had little to say about his investigation. His efforts practically are directed toward uncovering the record of one of the prominent tenn perance workers"
