ALABAMA GOING DRY.
Old Alabama to join the growing procession of
 Dry States.

A special in Wednesdays Con- mercial Appeal from Montgomery. Ala, reads as follows.
 With the adopotion of absolute pro- hibition in three counties in two days. Alabama has forty-one out of sixty seven counties that will cut out the legal sale of liquors after the first of January. As no county has failed to adopt the anti-Iiquor policy by over whelming majorities it is safe to pre- sume that nine more, in which cleo lions are arranged for, will go the same way. leaving only seventeen that allow the sale in any way. More than half this number restrict the sale to one or two towns by dispensaries, There are only four counties that have not gotten up the agitation. all small. Four can not be reached by the local option law as they have dispensary rights for two wears These are Madison, Perry. Barbour, and Colbert. It is deemed certain that stated prohibition billwill pass at the session of the legislature 10 assemble Thursday.
 The prohibition campaign commit tee in Montgomery county today filed with the probate judge petition 10 or der an election 10 decide the question of prohibition in Montgomery county. Chief Justice John R. Tyson of the supreme court presented the petition and will lead the campaign against whisky. It is getting to be all over the South that the leading men Of the Democratic party are lining up with the clean and decent element against the whisky crowd.

1 J.l. Speny came up from his
 home in Jackson last Friday quite
 sick. He seems to have bad case
 of bilious fever. Mir. Sperry Is now
 among the bachelors and has no l family of course. He is sharing the
 kind hospitality at the home of Mir.
 J. A. Cooke, and family.
 The Presbyterians of H. G. have
 called the Rev. Mt. Johnson, of
 Warren. Ark, to take charge of the church and they expect him here by the 10th of this month. We greatly
 hope that Mir. Johnson, and family, will be pleased with this work so that he may be successful in the church work for this place.
 The county grader has done some work on the streets of H. c. during the last week, but no kind of work done on the streets will amount 10 much until the drainage system is more perfect than what 1t is now. i We greatly hope that the town au- thorities will see that we soon have better system of drainage so that the water can get off of the town.
 A sad death among the colored folks. On last Thursday night, Oct. 3lst, John and Lucy Butler, a very respectable family of colored folks who own nice home in H. c., had only two children, both of whom were girls. both grown. About a month ago. Lillian. the oldest girl. died. Nov. Leona. the youngest. and the last child they had. was buried last Saturday. The mother of these girls has not spaired anything that would add to their usefulness and educating them so that they would be fit and qualified for the higher claims and duties of life. We offer sympathy for the sad hearted parents. more es- pecially the heart broken mother, and we admonish the mother to take 1t to the Lord in prayer. Leona was buried at the New Hope burial ground.

Danger Signals Not Heeded.

Out at sea the watch on the look out reported vessel not far away fly ing the signals of distress. The mes sage was carried to the captain. He came on deck, and with his glass studied the signals as they were sent up. There could be no doubt about it. The ship was in trouble.
 Help us!" came the call across the waves. We are slnkipgj'
 The captain had had rough seas himself. He had lost time in storm. He would arrive in port some days la ter than his schedule time. Should he hasten on, or should he stop to give the helping hand to this fellow traveller in the hour of troubiea
 I've will go on. was his decision. Some other vessel will see the ship that is in distress and help her."
 Once more came the call.
 Do not leave us! We must have help soon or go down!"
 ''I cannot do it!" And the captain went below.
 But, oh, the irony of it all! On that ship which went down was the captain S own son. Lost forever, because his father did not heed the danger signals!
 We want to close this saloon. It is curse to the community. Give us your vote.'
 '.The place never troubles me. do not go into if. lnever drink. The place brings me some business thro the men who come here. l have no other interest in the saloon.
 The danger signals are flying, but they pass unheeded.
 That man has a son. From son.e friend who knows him the terrible story comes to the father: Your Do, is visiting that saloon"
 The wor1s fall like clay over the grave of the sweetest hopes and the dearest longings of the father for his son. But 1t is too late. The win' cup is at his lips. and the chain i presses upon his life drags shim dowl to death. Signals unheeded.
 Do you not think the compan, your daughter is keeping is too fast 1 meet her on the street sometime. at night. and 1 tremble fer her and fo you. sir. Forgive me. but l woule want a friend to do by me as have done by you.
 The warning is passed by with 2 laugh.
 My daughter is haviug a good time, she tells me. can trust her. When it comes to 1t tnat cannot rely upon her to do the right thing. l will think of whatyou say
 The ship passing has its signals oi danger sci. They are rnheeded. and so the storm sweeps down. carrying the life-bark to death. Hopes vanish. Dreams come to naught. Life's sky turns into blackness of midnight.
 Everywhere the danger signals are flying. The call comes to us from every hand. But we are so busy with our own struggle for happiness! We cannot stop to think seriously of the cries that come through the night and the storm. We shall miss something If we turn aside to answer this call.
 And yet, these are our own brothers who are holding out their hands to- ward us. Sometimes we do not know this till it is too late. Even as we look into the faces of those we love, if our eyes were not holden we might see the signs of trouble flying. We do not recognize them. If we dc we think 1t cannot be true. Somebody else may have dear ones that are in danger; that can never come to our loved sons and daughters.
 So we go on. until the precious soul goes down in the night of despair.
