Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 30.-Alaba-
ma yesterday defeated a prohibition
amendment to the state constitution
by large majority, estimated at
from 10000 to 10000 votes.
The election was the first popu,
lar expression i'm Alabama on the sub
ject of prohibition. A statewide pro
hibition bill was passed by a Legisla-
ture which had been elected on a To-
cal option platform and while sew
eral counties had declared for pro
hibition under the local option act,
the voters of the entire state had
never before been called on to pass
on the question direct.
In Birmingham the election was
the most exciting ever witnessed.
Hundreds of people were crowded
around each polling place, women and
children were singing, and brass
bands stationed by the anti-amend-
ment forces were playing patriotic
airs.
Each polling place was enlivened
by fist fights. Feeling was so high
that a few words were sufficient to
bring on blows. Every other voter
was challenged and forced to make
afIidavits This delayed the casting
of ballots considerably, but in spite
of these handicaps the vote was
heavy.
Farmers voted largely against the

ties went heavily against the meas

.SODOM P APER MILL
DAMAGED $4,000
BY FIRE
Wooden Portion of Structure
Nearly Destroyed.
MOST OF MACHINERY SAVED
Fire Started on Second Floor and
Origin Is Unknown-Employed
About 20.

The wall paper mill of the Stark
Paper company located at Sodom, a
hamlet in the town of SALISBURY
near the New York state line, was
damaged to the amount of $4,000 or
$4,000 by fire early this morning.
The loss will reach the latter figure
only in case the machinery is found
to be damaged to a greater extent
than was thought to be the case when
members of the company left the
scene early this morning
The fire was discovered a few min
utes after IL o'clock on the second
floor and the room was thoroughly
ablaze at the time The plant is
equipped with fire-fighting apparatus
which was put into action as soon as
possible and word was at once sent
to North Bennington for the Nc
Cullough Engine company. With the
assistance of the firemen from North
Bennington the fire was brought un-
der control in about two hours. The
worst trouble was experienced with
the fire in the water tower and it
was in this portion of the structure
that flames kept their control until
nearly o'clock this morning
f. D. yelling when questioned over
the telephone this morning stated
that he was of the opinion that the
machinery had suffered but little
