ALABAMA SOLONS VAMOOSE
SESSION CLOSED AFTER PASS.
AGE OF MANY DRASTIC BILLS.
prohibition Laws Were Made More
Stringent, and Anti-RaiIroad
Legislation Repealed.


Legislation Repealed.
The special session of the Alabama
legislature which has adjourned af-
ter twenty-five working days accom-
plished the chief purpose for which
1t was called by passing the most
drastic prohibition laws ever passed
by any state, and Gaping the laws
by submitting to the people an
amendment to the constitution pro-
hlbiting the sale or manufacture of
intoxicants in Alabama. The cleo
ton will be held the last week in
November
1t is conceded that the minority
members Of the legislature remained
passive throughout, holding to the
view that the more radical the pro-
h1bition legislation the sooner the
laws would be repealed. Thus it
was that little opposition fell in the
way of the drastic laws.
Governor Conner, in his call for
the extra session, urged compulsory
education law, and the submission
of a constitutional amendment for
biennial sessions of the legislature,
and the creation of new counties.
These three ideas failed, the edu-
cational bill and the counties amend
ment being defeated, and the bien-
NAL sessions proposition not being
introduced
At least ten prohibition measures
were passed. Under the new laws a
person may not have liquor any
where but his home. Keeping it at
other places is made prima facie evil
dence that they are for sale. Pros
Iecutions are to be made before chan
cellors, and not juries, and state at
torneys and sheriffs may be inn
peached for failure to execute the
laws. Foreign corporations may not
do business of any kind in Alabama
If it is shown that they sell or man
ufacture liquors in other states.
Few railroad measures were
passed. Many of those passed by
previous legislatures, when the anti
railroad sentiment swept over Ala
bama, Georgia and other states, were
repealed or amended to meet the
opinions of federal courts.

From an editorial in the Augusta
Chronicle of August 21st, discussing
insurance in the south, we take the
following extract, which is timely
and sound reasoning:
Common sense teaches us that
much of the money spent for insur-
ance ought to be kept in the south;
That We ought to be able to provide
a large part of our own life insur-
ance. If we haven't so much capital
we at least have the brains, the abil-
lty to manage, the integrity and the
advantage of being cOnversant with
conditions at home. After all, capi-
Tai is not so much a requisite to safe
and successful life insurance vent
ures as these things. In whatever
way it is viewed we simply insure
each others lives, and there is no
good reason why certain groups OF
southern people may not do that for
themselves, through their own asso-
cations, as through the agency of
northern companies. OF course the
northern companies are all right, and
we do not mean to disparage them
IN the least; but we do know that it
would be much better for the south
Il some of the many millions that
are now being spent north every year
u pay for life insurance were spent
WIN southern companies for just as
good, just as safe and just as cheap
Insurance.
That the life insurance business
Can be successfully carried on in the
south has been abundantly proven by
eue wonderful growth of numerous
southern companies. Georgia, in
particular, has been a leader in the
me insurance field; not only keeping
unions of dollars at home, to be in
,aeSIed in home securities, but pay
Iug out millions more to southern
"luoWs and orphans. Usually this
Insurance has been furnished at the
mlnlmum of cost, and, yet, at a price
9Sunclent to pay all losses promptly
@eep up expenses and create a strong
'eSerVe fund, where the reserve feat
me Is used. In otner cases, strictly
mutual companies have been able to
P1oFlde insurance at exact cost, DEM
onstrating absolutely that it is just
az easy, just as safe, just as practi-
oaOle for Georgians to insure each
olner as to pay large northern com
Psnles to provide such insurance fol
The latter, as we said, are al
right, and will continue to get theil
spare of the business-particularly
Tue large business-but there is still
room ~, for greater development of the
,lIe Insurance field, and it seems tt
w this development should come
through strictly home companies"
There is much to be thought about
~ the foregoing, and as demonstra
,lon of the wisdom of the advice con
'alned therein The News can poin

RURAL DELIVERY ANNIVERSARY
1t is Suggested That Its Thirteenth
Birthday Be Celebrated.

~ Is suggested That Its Thirteenth
Birthday Be Celebrated.
AS the thirteenth birthday of the
rural free delivery service in this
country is close at hand Postmaster
General Hitchcock has proposed that
the patrons in the United States. to-
falling some 10000, 900, celebrate the
event in some suitable manner.
Starting as an experiment the Jru-
raj free delivery has spread over the
entire country. Four drivers were
started out of Charleston, w. Va,
thirteen years ago. Today more than
10000 drivers are out on the rural
routes delivering the mail to the
busy farmers. The annual cost of
the service to the country is about
$40,0OO,O00.
Ex-Congressman Watson of Geor-
gia must feel pleasure in noting the
great growth and prosperity of this
child of his brain, and If there is
to be celebration in this state he,
as well as Congressman Griggs of
the Second district, should be two
OF the principal speakers. When
Mr.. Watson left congress Judge
briggs took up the rural delivery
movement, ana as a member of the
committee on postoffices and post
roads lead the fight for the enlarge
ment and extension of the service.

in Columbus. COmpany's Sales
Manager viii Visit This City.
The automobile business in the
south is perhaps more on the increase
than any other line of manufacture
ing. This is no where better exem-
plified than at Columbus, Ga, where
the Georgia Automobile Exchange is
now erecting a modern garage and
sales room. The capital stock has
been increased to $25, 900, the stock
holders being Messrs. G. Gunby Jor-
dan, Marshall Morton, D. A. McIn-
tyre and r. G. Jordan. This amount
will give them capital sufficiently
large to carry numerous makes of
cars in stock, together with extra
parts and accessories of all kinds.
Their territory for the sale Of
cars, including the celebrated Mitch
ell, will include Terrell county, and
they state that during the coming
season they expect to send numer-
GUS models of their makes through
this territory, driven by their travel
ing salesman, VINO will use this
means of transportation exclusively
in canvassing their territory for
sales.
They also state that they soon ex-
pect to have their sales manager Wis
it Dawson in order to establish an
agency here for the lines they han
die, as well as many other cities of
middle western Georgia, which they
L.
tributing point, Columbus. They
will handle some three or four makes
of cars, and will no doubt begin a
thorough advertising campaign in
this section as soon as their agents
are appointed, which will be at no
distant date.

LIKE BIRDS ON WING ALRSHIPS
FLUTTER OVER SUNNY FRANCE

was a pretty race of four miles be-
tween Delagrange and Latham
Fourier was around with a
broken nose as a result of his ac-
cident yesterday.
Latham came down after he had
covered about 95.O1 miles. The
record for distance is 1907 miles
made by Paulham yesterday.
When Latham started on his sec
ond effort the breeze was less than
three metres a second, but there
were ominous black clouds on the
horizon, and during the aviator
fourth lap sharp squat of wind
and rain broke over the aerodrome.
The spectators did not believe it pos
sible for Latham to ride out in the
storm, but to their delight he only
mounted the higher, and took his
machine over tribunes at a height
of 800 feet.

Early This Morning Twelve Machines
Started Out. One Went 43 Miles
and Then Met With Trouble.

RHEIMS, France.-The fifth day
of aviation week was ushered in with
ideal weather conditions. Light airs
and overcast skies brought the flyers
out early, and before noon no less
than dozen machines, like huge
gulls, were circling above the plain.
Latham, in his monoplane, was the
first aviator to get away. He started
out to beat his record, but after COW
ering 43.47 miles came down on ac-
count of trouble with his ignition,
but he went into the air again with
another machine.
Curtis was among those who fol-
lowed Latham in the fight. There
