ATLANTA, Dec. 21.-Gov. Brown

pardons and paroles yesterday as the
result of recommendation made by
the Prison Commission, among them
being the case of e. A. Moore Of sa-
vannah, who was sent to the peniten-
tiary for life in 1905 for murder.
Moore was a street car conductor

difficulty with a passenger drew his

and struck and killed a woman across
the street. An investigation of the
case by the Prison Commission led to
the conclusion that Moore. at most.

ALAsAMA,s vERDIcr.

Il may be rather late for The Herald
to express its views as to the recent
vote of our Alabama neighbors on a
proposed constitutional amendment
providing for the eternal prohibition
OF the liquor traffic, but, as the editor
has lately spent little over a day in
Dothan. Ala. where he learned some
facts in the case. it may be interesting
to know these facts and the conclu-
sions drawn from them.
The most important of all is the
fact that the $4,000 majority against
the amendment was given not against
prohibition itself, but against highly
Objectionable section of the proposed
amendment, and also against what
was believed to be a personal political
scheme Of Governor Corners. State
wide prohibition prevails in Alabama
and the recent election did not do
away with It.
Almost all the leaders who opposed
the amendment we're those who prev
iously had been foremost in advocacy

OLD NEW YEAR CUSTOMS.

In age most OF the holidays we
keep through the year are young as
compared with the new year. From
the time Of the Julian reformation OF
the calendar, the old Romans kept the
first of January as a holiday, dedicat.
ing it and the whole of the following
month to Janus. who opened and
closed the gates of the year. Sacri-
fees we're offered to him on twelve
altais corresponding to the months of
the year, and people were careful to
be on their best behavior that day that
1t might prove a propitious augury for
the whole year.
II was a day Of visiting. Of family
gatherings. and of exchanging of gifts,
and also of he reconciling of differ.
ences between friends and relatives.
These obseryances in our day are as
ISOLATED with Christmas rather than
with New Year, but the more fully
they are observed, whether at the one
season or the other, the more blessed
the result.
Among other ancient customs Of the
new year were the cutting and ex.
changing OF branches OF mistletoe by
the Druids, and the presentation OF
eggs by the Persians.
