A Wall from Alabama.

Montgomery, Ala, July 12.-Driven
to starvation by a sudden rise in the
price of charcoal, the negro washwomen
OF the city appealed to the Mayor to-
day, asking that he do something to
help them.
Because of the loss of revenue from
the prohibition law which threatened
TO become serious, the city put tax
upon nearly every business A license
to sell charcoal new costs $40. The
charcoal dealers promptly doubled the
price of the commodity. The wash
women in turn tried TO raise their
prices, but the indignant housewives
would have none of it.
So the old women and the young
ones, picturesquely clad, went to the
Mayor and told him their troubles.
The old spokeswoman told him they
would all pray for him, that their
prayers were all they could give him.
The Mayor could offer no encourage
ment.-Richmond Dispatch.

A New Railroad.

A special dispatch from Lynchburg
on Saturday says: Captain T. o. Troy,
president of the Carolina, Virginia and
Western Railway, which was recently
chartered by the State, to-day quoted
the rumors about the large surveying
corps which is at work in Campbell
county, near the city, when he gave
out an interview in which he shows
the work is for his company, and that
the road is intended to tap the Chesa-
peake and Ohio coal fields to pass to a
point yet to be determined upon in
North Carolina. Captain Troy thinks
the road will go through Danville, and
one survey will bring it into Lynch
burg. He declares the company is in
dependent of any other company.

Last week, surrounded by her chill
dren, grandchildren, great-grandchil-
dren, Mrs. f. A. Hawkins celebrated
her SSth birthday in old Virginia style,
with dinner at her home on North
Market street. A sister, Mrs. Mary F.
Rinehart, of Ohio, who is "a years old
came on to be present on the occasion.
The children present on Wednesday
were Mrs. Porter M. Woodward of
Staunton, and Mr.. J. P. Hawkins of
Bath county-Mrs. H. 7. Baylis of Col
umbia, S. g., Mr.. Roy Turner of Grants
Pass, Ore, and Miss Bessie Mcdowell

children, little Miss Katharine and
Wyllhart Baylis, the great-grand chill
dren. Mrs. Hawkins was before mar
riage Miss Elizabeth Ann Black, and
was born in Campbell county, Virginia,
in 1921. She was the daughter of Will
liam Black and Mary Cobbs. The
mother of Mary Cobbs was Marshall,
and sister of the father of Chief JUS
tice John Marshall.
Shortly after her marriage to Richard
Hawkins she came to Staunton to live.
J ust before the war Mr.. Hawkins
bought the old school house on screen
Hill, now north Market street, which
has always been a home for the chill
dren, grandchildren and great-grand-
children.
Mrs. Hawkins has always led an
active and useful life, both in her home
and the church.

Prohibition Not Christianity.

One great danger to-day with prohi-
bItionists is the tendency TO make their
movement Synonymous with Chris
tianity and to base their principles con-
fusedly upon what they suppose to be
the principles of Christ. They fall in
to the common error of quoting from
tickle memory without verifying their
references. Still another mistake is the
manner in which they confound the
cardinal virtue of temperance with
prohibition, whereas the only relation
in which the latter can be looked upon
as being in any sense a Christian virtue,
is when its exercise is along the lines
OF religious asceticism in the name of
Christ And even then, as we shall
show, it is clearly matter of eXpedi-
ency rather than Christian principle
The evidence for these two statements
is TO be seen in the tendency TO wink
al other moral defects in men, provid-
eel they are free from the faint of drink,
practically the sum and sub
stance of the Christian Religion to con-
sist mainly in abstinence; and the re-
gardlng of the really temperate man as
a Toe to what prohibitionistsi inaccurate
" term temperance.
Looking at the whole matter from
The standpoint of Christian ethics, the
question that must arise is, Have pro-
llbltionists faced fairly and squarely |
,he attitude of Christ to this vexing
problem And, apparently, the an
'wer must be No" Indeed, here lies |
he chief difficulty with prohibition
attitude of Christ is distinctly
against it.
There was no tinge of asceticism
lbout our Lord; He came into the
world eating and drinking and, because
lie shared in the actual life Of rich and |
'oor in this way, He was termed by
many wine bibble.-Rev. p. Gavan
)uffey.

Hunting Blind Tigers.

AT last there is prospect of real pro
hibition as the result of peculiar con
ditiOn. In South Carolina Ben Till
man sixteen years ago established The
State dispensary, giving the Stase the
monopoly of the liquor business with
IN her own borders. The institution be.
came the source and center and cause
of endless corruption and villiany. Ii
developed conditions practically as bad
as those of the reconstruction era, made
thieves of good men, ruined regulations
which had been spotless, brought about
bribery and grating from one end of
the State to the other. After several
hard fights the legislature abolished
the State dispensary and ordered its
affairs wound up, but left to each coun-
ty the right to decide by vote of its peo-
pie whether it should have it's own
local dispensary or prohibition. Six
teen counties of the forty voted in re-
tain the dlspensary. The last legisla-
ture provided for a general local option
election TO be held this summer at
which each of the dispensary counties
will vote TO decide whether it shall re-
tain or abolish the dispensary. The
blind tiger interest has lined up with
the prohibitionistS and Indications are
that all the counties will go dry. There
fore, the -prohibitionists and dis
penSary advocates are swearing venge-
ance against the blind tiger. They are
serving public notice through the
newspapers that they will organize to
see that counties which vote prohibit
ton with the help of the blind tigers
shall be absolutely dry, that the blind
tigers who are working and voting to
close the dispensary shall be bounded
and hunted into the jails or out of the
country.
The one obstacle to the success of
absolute prohibition is the tendency of
counties already dry to leave things as
they are. In most of these, as we I'M
derstand, the blind tigers are doing a
comfortable business, the drinking peo-
pie have made regular arrangements
for their supplies and everybody is con-
tent with the situation. 1t may be,
however, that when the indignant anti
prohibitionists OF the dispensary coun-
ties get to work shifting and pursuing
the blind tigers their example will
spread. When those who use liquor
and openly advocate its use become the
active and vigilant foes of the blind
tigers we may look to see blind tiger
ing become really dangerous and I'M
