1 o'clock in the Circuit Court room of
the county court house In this city.
The meeting was largely attended by
people of all classes, but the attend
ance was not as large as had been ex-

The orator Of the occasion was Rev.
Brooks Lawrence. of Birmingham, SUI
perintendent of the Alabama Anti-Sa-
loon League who spoke for more than
an hour. He did not touch on local
conditions, but confined his remarks to
the prohibition conditions OF the State
in general. He said that In many Sec
tions of the State prohibition was abb
solutely prohibiting and that In every
city of the State drunkenness and
crime had been very much reduced.
He was of the opinion that prohibit
ton can be enforced equally as well as
any other law. He said that in Annis-
tom before prohibition went into effect
the Mayor OF that city told him 1t
would be impossible to enforce prohi-
bition there from the fact that he
lice who would enforce the law. Mr..
Lawrence said he told the Mayor IL he
was unable to secure a chief Of police
who would enforce the law that he
himself would take the position, and
that he would see that the law was en-
forced. DR.. Lawrence said he was not
called upon to take the Job from the
fact that Admission now has q chief Of
police who is enforcing the law to the
letter.
