Violating Autobiography Law

New York, November 1.-THE ac-
tivity of the American Ice company in
gathering in the Independents was
graphically related today at the trial
of that company for alleged violation
of the state anti-monopoly law by
Lynn B. Brown, an independent deal
er, who testified that he was bought
out before he had actually start in
business. Some one saw one of the
two ice wagons he had bought to start
with, the witness said, and a repre-
sentative of the American company
came to him and told him they con-
trolled all the ice and he could not
make a living and bought him Off

Lawrence's Attack ON Supreme Court.
On the Fourth of July, when Ala
bamians were celebrating the anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Independ-
ence-the basic stone of the Bill of
Rights-one Brooks Lawrence, carpet
Dagger, attacked the supreme court on
the decision in which the court held
that locker clubs are legal institutions,
provided they are properly conducted.
The insult to the court brought forth
vigorous protests from all sources and
from influential persons who are sin
cere prohibitionists. Judge Eel Gas
ton said:
"rhe doctrines of the most notorious
carpetbagger in reconstruction days
were not more nefarlous than the state
ments of Mr.. Lawrence with reference
to our courts"
Lawrence's Diatribe.
1.-The decision of the supreme court
looks to me like an attempt on the
part of the court to invade the realm
of Legislation instead of combining itself
to the Interpretation and constituting of
law.
"The general attitude of the United
States supreme court toward the liquor
traffic Is that this subject is in a class
by itself and subject to the police pow
ers of the legislatures of the several
states, who have, under these police
powers unlimited authority to pass
laws protecting the public health and
the public morals.
Liquor laws are peculiar, and I
have known some very able lawyers to
stumble ridiciously In their attempts
to furnish protection for those engaged
illegally In the sale of Intoxicating
liquors.
THE decision of the courts is mighty
small comfort for the outlawed liquor
traffic and its friends although have
been informed that they are in great
glee over it. There is no reason for the
temperance elements to be discouraged.
The law. has been in the hands of its
enemies in a few of the counties in our
state and the liquor anarchist has been
encouraged by this fact; the bulk of
the noise has come from these few
counties. Certain courts have rendered

decisions that have manifestly been to
the advantage of this outlawed class,
but they are on the defensive without
any legal standing and their friends
in public office cannot save them.
1.-THE decent citizenship of Alabama
is aroused and has been wedding out
from public office the men who favor
the liquor traffic and they will con-
tinue to do this until every liquor Judge,
solicitor sheriff and police officer in
our state has been laid out under
beautiful political tombstone of ballots.
l know whereof / speak, for the sem
timent of Alabama is stronger today
than it was in 1907.
I'VE have only begun our fight and
we will keep it up until we have justice.
If we cannot get 1t I'm the courts we
Will see to 1t that the courts are con-
stltuted of men who will not work
overtime in their efforts to protect the
liquor outlaws of Alabama. The people
of this state propose to have this law
tested by it's friends and not accept a
verdict of success or failure at the
hands of its enemies.
IF the court decisions against US
are well founded on constitution in
hibition, then the people of Alabama
Will change the constitution of the
state to meet the situation. The day
of saloonkeeper, gambler harlot and
pimp domination In government is
drawing to a close in Alabama"
These words are from the mouth of
a carpetbagger who verify has stolen

of agitation and graft; political par
son who failed as a vaudeville actor at

All sorts of dainty confections and
furbelows are being exhibited by
Marion shop-keepers these days, to
catch the feminine fancy. and loosen
the feminine purse-string. The
windows of the downtown dry goods
stores and millinery establishments
give the appearance Of transplanted
bits of neecy clouds or nowergariens,
and surely the rainbow must have
been robbed to supply such dainty
lots Of coloring as is evident in the
summer materials and rocks.
AT the Warner and Edwards store,
the pennant of the class of 90 Of the
high school, handsome and artistic
affair OF crimson and white satin,
bearing the school monogram and
the class motto, forms a highly eff

OF white frocks desigred for wear
by the sweet girl graduates. One
almost wants to 20 back and gradu-

such creations Of the dressmakers'

made more picturesque by clusters
Of delicate white blossoms and the
soft plumage of birds, defy old Sol
to add one blush more of burn or
tan to the fair buds who will leave
their school books for the more SER
ious business OF life. But who
could be really serious under such
stunning millinery?
Some new and dainty things in
nechwear are being shown in all the
stores. There are lingerie collars OF
lace and linen and embroidery, with
jabots TO match. perky little bows to
pin under ''miiadis' chin, and tall
dignihed looking stocks, calculated to
