FIRST DELEGATES
 TO REACH STATE
COLONEL WATTS OF SOUTH CAR OLINA AND COLONEL M'ENERY
 OF FALABAMA-BoTH FIRMLY BE- LIEvE DEMOCRACY WILL WIN.

Col. s. P. Watts of Columbia, S. C., a delegate to the Denver convention, passed through Birmingham yesterday morning. returning home.
 Colonel Watts, like the majority of those who attended the convention. believes this is a democratic year.
 Seriously stated he, it Is my opin- ion that Bryan will win and that his vic tory will be a great one. Democracy is united We have the vote of organized labor The west is prepared to line up with the south. The two together will combine against the east and its money.
 .'Denver proved an excellent host. The city was ours.'
 Colonel Watts stated that he has att tended several conventions, but has never seen one so enthusiastic as that just ad- journed. in Denver.
 The only Alabamian who has returned from Denver is Col w. T. McElroy of Carbon Hill,. While he was an alternate delegate, the illness of Delegate Pearce caused him to serve through much of the labor of the convention. Colonel McElroy is most enthusiastic. He believes the democrats will triumph this year.
 In speaking of the vice presidential nominee, Colonel McElroy said: We nominated Kern because Bryan wanted him. It was natural that Bryan should have said something concerning the man who was to be his running mate. Kern is an excellent man, and exceedingly pop ular in the great west. He will make q strong candidate, and believe his selec- tjon was a wise one''

MOONSHINING IS ON THE
 W INCREASE IN GEORGIA

Atlanta, July 14.-(Special.)- )-Recent increase in the moonshining business has not been by any means confined to Alabama, though internal revenue re- ports have called prominent attention to the growth Of illicit distilling in that state.l According to the internal revenue collector for Alabama, the IT, legal manufacture of whiskey has in creased more than TO per cent in that state since the majority of the counties have enacted prohibition.
 While no figures are obtainable, 1t is learned that Georgia will run Ala bama a close second in the percentage of increase ih illicit distilling. A prom inent resident of a North Georgia mountain county, who was here today, said that the only difference noted up in his section was that they were making more whiskey than ever before. Prohibition has increased the profits in the business, he declared, and more of the mountaineers are taking the risk.
 Discussing the subject further he said there was litt1ej likelihood of the conviction of these moonshiners in their home counties, under the prohibition law. and the internal revenue officers so far seem to nave taken 1t for grant ed that the state law would repress their traffic, hence have relaxed their vigilance There is no trouble today in getting whiskey-the. pure, fresh corn juice-in any of the mountain counties, if the moonshiner is satisfied
