Early Closing.

committee representing the
clerks at the retail stores circulated a
petition last week asking all proprie-
tors of mercantile establishments to
agree to close their places of business
at o'clock during the summer
months, and the agreement, which
goes into effect on April 18th, was
signed by practically every retail mer-
chant in the city.
No one can deny that after being
confined in the stores during the long
hot days of summer the clerks need
a little recreation in the afternoon,
and they ask the purchasing public
to cooperate with them in the effort
which is to be made to rigidIy en-
force the agreement. In order to ac-
complish this it will be necessary for
customers ordering goods by tele~
phone to have their orders in not lat
er than 5 o'clock, so that they can
be filled and delivered before closing
time arrives. By complying with this
request the public will enable the
clerks to get away from the stores
promptly at clock, and will be-re-
warded for their thoughtfulness by
the heartfelt gratitude of every sales
man and saleslady in the city.
The following merchants have
signed the agreement, which binds
them to close every evening, satur-
days excepted, from April 18th to
September 1st:
Gunter Bros. w. c. Beard. Kauf-
man Bros, Loeb's Variety Store, Co

ALABAMA LAWS
DECLARED VALID
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
PROHIBITION LAWS ENACTED
BY NEIGHBORING STATE
ARE CONSTITUTIONAL.
lit Is Generally Believed That Mobile
and Othe Cities Opposed TO Law
VIII Accept Decision
As Final.

A special from Montgomery, Ala,
bearing the date of April 9th, says:
The Alabama supreme court today
held both the general prohibition and
the o'clock closing laws to be con
stitutionaI and effective. Attack had
been made on both by the liquor
forces OF the State.
The two laws were argued togeth-
er and the decision is taken by both
sides to settle the questions. Mobile
interests have fought the two provi-
sions from the first, holding that both
will bring ruin to a coast city such
as it is.
In upholding the general prohibi-
tion act the court also gives validity
to the local option law that was in
volved in the cases brought.
The attack on the local option act
sought to declare illegal elections that
had been held in counties before the
passage of the general prohibition
bill. This the court refused to do.
The effect is that the local option law
is wholly sustained because the leg
islature provided in the general pro-
hibition act that no elections should
be held after those called at the time
of its passage. Summing up, the re
suits are:
After January 1st no legal sale of
liquors anywhere in the State. Until
that time all saloons in cities must
close at p. M; in towns over 10000
at 8 and under at p. m. All local
option Iections good

DECORATION DAY
TO BE OBSERVED
DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY
HAVE DECIDED TO OBSERVE
SATURDAY, APRIL 25TH.
AS MEMORIAL DAY.
April Goth Is the Day Set Apart b.
the State, But As This Date Falls
on Sunday This Year Satur-
day VIII Be Celebrated.

April 26th is the day set apart b.
the State as Confederate Memorial
day, but that date falls on Sunday
/ this year, and the local chapter of
| the United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy will celebrate the preceding
day, Saturday, April 25th. Some of
| the chapters in different portions of
the State have decided that as the
regular day for celebrating the event
comes on Sunday they will have no
exercises whatever, but the local
chapter is not included in the list.
The ladies composing the membe
ship are of the opinion that the day
is too important to pass unheeded,
and are determined not to let the cur
rent year take it's place on the calen-
dar of dead years without paying the
accustomed tribute to the honOred
dead, who fought so gallantly for the
land which they loved.
Although the date for the celebra-
ton has been definitely fixed, the pro-
gram has not yet been completed and
will hardly be given to the public
before next Sunday. The cadet bat
talon of the A. and NJ. College has
been invited, and while no formal
acceptance of the invitation has been
received, it is hoped and believed
that the battalion will be on hand and
will participate in the exercises. The
college boys have been participating
in the local Decoration day ceremon-
les for a number of years past, and
their presence lends to the gatherings
a military feature which is most de-
sirabIe and which adds materially to
the solemnity and effectiveness of the
celebration. The orator of the day
has not as yet been selected, nor have
the various committees who will be
in charge of the exercises been
named. Miss Mary B. Harrison, pres
ident of the local chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy, is at |
work on the committees, and will an !
nounce her appointments this week. |
The local Confederate Daughters |
are very much encouraged over their /
success in securing funds for the I
monument which it is their purpose /
to erect here. The boad of supervis- I
Ors at their regular monthly meeting |
last week voted to donate one thous-
and dollars to the cause, one-half Of /
this sum being Immediately available
and the remainder to be paid next
year. THERE'S a law giving authority
to the boards of Supervisors the
different counties throughout the +
State to make donations of this char
acter, but heretofore the treasury of
the county has not been sufficiently
corpulent to warrant an appropria-
ton. Money is more plentiful now,
however, and the members of the
board have made a generous dona-
lion. The Daughters of the Confed-
aracy already have about six hundred
dollars in their treasury, which is to
be applied to the erection of mon
lment. and If all goes well a hand
some marble shaft will soon proclaim
10 the world the valor and bravery
Of Lowndes county venterans who
laced the cannons' blast in the great
st internecine struggle that the
world has ever witnessed.
