SHELBY GIVES FACTS
COAL OPERATOR IS IN FAVOR OF
 PROHIBITION.
He States That Coal Miners Are Hap pier and Have More Money When There Is No
 whfskey.

Birmingham, Sept. 7.-(Special.)- In an address at a temperance meeting. John w. Sibley, a coal operator with mines at Warrior, in the northern part of the county. refuted statements made by some of the officials of the larger industrial organizations in this section who are fighting prohibition for Jeff ferson County. He stated that with no additional miners, the employees of his company last month drew t7o0 more than they did the month before that. The saloons were driven out of War; rior Just few months ago.
 He stated further that all the stores in warrior reported that their sales had improved considerable since the saloons had been forced out of War rior. showing that money which In the past went for liquor was now go- ing to the various stores. He stated further that the coal production was larger at Warrior than ever before. He called attention to the fact that while the arbitration was on between the coal operators and union miners in this district a few years ago. the conten- tion of the operators against the semi monthly pay days was that the miners lost too much time when they re- ceived their pay twice a month, from two to i've days being lost because of heavy drinking immediately after the pay day. He called attention to the fact that now the larger indus- trial companies were working against prohibition, which he designated as tn- consistency.
 Announcement was made today by the prohibition committee that Sena- tor Carmack of Tennessee. George Stuart, the noted evangelist from Cleveland, Tenn; Hon. Seaborn Wright. of Rome, Ga, I-Jn John Temple Graves of Atlanta, and other promi- nent speakers will be here to assist in the campaign.
