 The City Court of Birmingham has awarded Governor Conner 1 cent dam ages fin a libel suit brought by him against The Montgomery Advertiser. The action grew out of a publication by The Advertiser during the cam paign of 1904, when Conner was a can didate for Railroad Commissioner, and was for s25,000 damages. Those fac miliar with the case are of the opinion that Ia was simply an effort on the part of Conner to overawe The Adver- tiser. which has done more than any other paper in the State to point out the weak spots in ''Cofnerism" I

A SAD LESSON, BUT AN OLD
STORY.

In the Iberville Sentinel, published in
the town of Plaquemines, there is de-
scribed in triple-headed article how a
stranger died in the back yard of a
saloon in that town. There is nothing
remarkable in this story, since it is sim
ply the reiteration of the sad ending of
the victim of the saloon This vic
tim, name not given, was in the saloon
Friday night AS long as he had money
he was welcomed and drank freely, but
when his funds were exhausted he was
bounced and died in back yard. I'm
fortunately this is not the only victim.
Such victims are to be found every
where where the saloon is encouraged.
The Sentinel INDUCED in this sympa-
thetic reflection:
mot tear will be shed at his
grave, for no relative is near to ac-
company the unfortunate victim of
liquor to his last resting place.
what lesson to all mankind!
1T verify seems as if the beginning
of all evil is drink"
Is it?
If it is, why should any good man en-
courage the evil by favoring saloons?
Can any reasonable, sensible man not
allied with the liquor traffic give one
good reason why the saloon should
exist?
