Anniston, Feb, 21 -(Special)- Proudly may the Prohibitionist point to the working of the statewide law in Anniston-
 in Calhoun County as whole. Here as nowhere in the state. so far as the writer has investigated, Is the much talked statute being enforced. The statement Is confined. however. to those cities, say 5000 in population and over, wherein saloons were licensed prior to prohibition. -
 For instance. 1t would not be exact to say that Annfston carries the palm for enforcement of the prohibition law over Huntsville. The latter city. though hard hit by the law. ani though the majority of It's citizens are not in favor of prohibition. Is recon oiled to the majesty of the law and fs practically obeying It.. There Is a big difference between passing from saloons to prohibition and from the dispensary to prohibition. The dis pensary was a royal means of taper ing" off. The change to dry was not so violent Not as in the case of saloons, the unmistakab1e influence of saloon associates had been discounted. In fact, where the dispensary had been operated for more than a year. the saloonist seems to have absolutely surrendered, folded h1s tent ana stoien away. The return to high license there seemed hopeless to him so win ming were the ways of the dfspen- sary. It won adherents every year by the hundreds instead --of losing them. The revenue producer for city and county had fascinated the people and courted the taxpayer. Madison coun- ty would have been a long time re- establishing saloons. if ever, and pro- hibition would have had to perform better before it would have supplanted i, the dispensary. This. of course. pro- vfded the voters had had their choice.
 Glory For Prohfs.
 Not so in Anniston. and more's the glory for the officers In this industrial, humm1ng busy city of 10000 people. Here the saloons were well entrenched Yet they wielded not near the power as in other license towns and cities But by the fairly peaceable conduct of the proprietors. by their very amiabili- ty, they made numerous friends. Thus there was an element in Anniston as in all recently wet cities who rallied to the high license colors. which is to say always. to the anti-prohibition flag.

The impression isN growing that the
rise OF the market Thursday in the face
OF tho new English bank rate was due to
an attempt by manipulators to influence
outsiders TO believe that the list is inn
pegnable TO bear assault.
g. /. Hudson Co. stated this morn
ing: The street IS being treated TO all
sorts OF bullish reports regarding Steel
Some affect to believe that the dividend
rate will be made per cent. rather than
4 per cent. Such a rumor was partly re-
sponsible Tor the late rise yesterday. It
Is asserted that the companys earnings
are now at the rate OF s1S0.OOO0 900 year
ana that the volume Of new business
coming in its very much greater than the
mills can accommodate. All this sounds
well, but should be taken with the usual
allowance. ft Is designed to enable in
slders TO distribute their stock. It Is now
predicted that the Bank OF Berlin viii
advance its discount rate the first OF
next week. DO not be deceived by weak
ness In call loan rates. This very fact
indicates that prominent interests have
unloaded many OF their stocks and are
liberal lenders of money. This circum-
stance is not a bull point on stocks. Buy

ATTACK LEGALITY
OF CITY ELECTION
conlInued From FIrst Page.

and Rash went further. and assuming
that the law was constitutional. they
argued that City Council had acted
Illegally in the Almond and Allen con-
tests because the public notice OF the
contests as required by law was not
published according to tho provisions
Of the law, and that Council also con-
Quoted part OF tho contests in an
executive session, instead OF publicly.
as is required by law.
It was also argued in behalf Of Ross
and Rash that Council did not hear
and determine the contests on the dav
appointed. according TO the provisions
Of law. and that Councils decision was
not founded on the proof and areea-
tions.
AR. Churchman also argued that. as
suming that the law was constitution
ally enacted, Council has no iurisdic-
ton IN the Ross case because there
was no legal service obtained upon
air. Ross, and that DR.. Almond had
not caused 70 be delivered a couv ~
his petition Of contest TO Ross, and a
true copy OF the petition never was
delivered to Ross. II was argued that
the attempt at service upon Mr.. Ross.
which Council presumed was sufficient.
was illegal.
In the Rash case, however. no con-
tention OF service not having been
made was raised. as Rash accepted
service personally.
The argument may last longer than
to-day.
