SAIOONSOF CULLMAN
THEY MAY pn INDICTED BY THE
 GRAND JURY.
Defiant of Prehsblssea Law and spe- cfat Term sf Court is Convened
 Te Pass en the
 >> Controversy.

Decatur, Feb 3--(Special. )--Iudee D. ". Speake. of Decatur, Judge of this judiciul circuit. went to Cullman today where he convened a special term of the Cuiiman County Circuit Court for the trial of the alleged violations, of the local option laws in that county.
 Special grand and petit jurors have been summoned besides more than 500 witnesses. The trial of these cases. should the grand jury return indictments. will be watched with much interest. not only in Alabama. but in other States. A num- Der of the leading citizens of the De- caturs will attend this session of the NCuilman County Circuit Court.
 It Is understood that if these cases 20 to trial the whiskey people will att tack the constitutionality Of the local option laws of Alabama, which laws went into effect in Cullman County on January last. by a vote of the people of that county at an election Ahsid on December 6 sH
 Probate Judge Robert I. Burke. of Cuilman County. disregarded the pro- hibition laws and issued licenses to eight saloons in Cullman on January ?. These saloons are still doing bus mess.
 some weeks ago Judge Speake. sit- ting in Decatur. refused to grant . IndnUAmu4 tO CoFtAtu OSCatut bAlOOu men to compel Probate Judge W. E. Skeggs. of this county to issue saloon license, In rendering his opinion In this case, Judge Spealse said:
 "It appears therefore that the Pros bate Judge has no authority to issue license to sell liquor and were a h- cense issued, 1t would be no protection to the one who might thereunder sell intoxicating beverages"
 Judge spsake further said on this ea- casion:
 T am of the opinion Chat the ststa prohibition bill, approved November .23, 1907, takes notice and account ef the election that was held in this ooun- ty on November e,Ase7, and itself puts prohibition in force in this county on January 1, 1908. whether the local oD- ton act was valid or not"
 The City of cullman proper voted . majority for open saloons. but under the local option law the county was made the unit and the country people voted for prohibition and the county went for prohibition by a large major. Ity.
 A number of people from the peeat, urs will go to Culiman tomorrow to at tend the session of the court.

 It is reported that Philadelphia this fall turned Away 5000 children from the public schools for lack of room ana put lb,OO0 more on half time for tho same reason. And those who got in are having a hard time. Superintendents or Schools Brumbaugh writes to the Board of Education:
 "The children are sitting on broken benches. on boards in the aisles be. tween benches, on boxes. on window siiis. and In some cases are actually sitting on the nooF."
 Lack of money ia given as the reason. Yet only about two months ago the city fathers voted S5o,000 of public money to entertain the Benevolent anr Protective Older of Elks, and el0. O00 more to make merry with the Patritoio Order of the Sons of America. IA large part of that $s0,000 came out of womens tax money. If the city noth- CTS had had any voice in the spending of 1t would they not rather have spent 1t to provide seats and desks for the children.

 PARIS MANY~eEnED.
 Paris Is many-faced in it's interests, writes Lillian Bell. A day or two ago M. Funek sBrentano lectured in the Col lega de Lafayette on La Femme Amer icaine" from his observations of that typical individual in America. Appar- ently she appeared to him as sortfof special creation, to be studied In manner dAtache from the human race in general. There was large audi ence of French women, few Ame.i- cans and two men to listen to the dis tinguished lecturer, who told them that the New world idea of domestic liberty would prove very disastrous in France. He conceded that 1t might be good for Americans, but would be quite the re- verse for the French. The American woman---la femme Americaine-im- pressed him as tires iutelleetuelie." but
  which make for domestic happiness. In France he found the wife suhordinated to the family; marriage is an alliance between families and the relations of husband and wife are, he believed, much closer than in America. He found that Ia femme Americaine retained all her individuality; her own friends and her personality to Q degree inordinate. That the inaatiabls desire of the American wife ia to perfect her own individualk ty. To him it seemed that the Ameri- can home thus afforded sadness--it was tHiste--"of a solitude ineupDort- able" He regretted that French homes were judged so largely from French novels. which deal with the exception al. not the normal state of things.
