OFFICER IN TROUBLE.
Florence Prohibitionists Are Growing Pessimistic.

Florence, June S.-(Speoial )-Prohibi- tionists in this city are very pesslmistic over the turn affairs have taken in the past few days in the matter of enforcing the prohibition laws, and gloomy predic- tions are made for the future.
 At a recent meeting the city council passed an ordinance providing for the payment of $50 to any person causing the conviction of a violator of the liquor laws. At the time Mayor Walker stated that he would not convict on the evidence of an informer unless his evidence was cor roborated by other testimony.
 F. Leon Soper, acting for the Law and rants for the arrest of six negroes, charging them with selling liquor, and the negroes were tried before Mayor Walker Friday morning, when Mayor Walker, true to his original statement, dismissed all the cases but one, in which Soper' s testimony was corroborated by other wit nesses.
 Later Soper was arrested on two war rants charging him with selling liquor, and Dr. J. M. Peerson, chairman of the executive committee of the Law and Or der league, went on his bond. It Is claimed by members of the league that Soper's arrest is an effort on the part of violators of the law to retaliate and to discredit his testimony. However, he was in such a state from an attack made on him Saturday night in the Jefferson hotel by a crowd of white men that he was unable to appear for trial this morn ing and his cases were continued

Florence Officials Ask Governor for
 Legislation.

Florence, June S.-(SpeciaL)-T city council at it's regular June meeting last night passed resolutions asking Governor Conner to include in his call for a spe- cial session of the legislature two meas ures of great importance to the city of Florence and to other cities similarly situated. The first resolution requests the governor to include in his call a submission to the voters of a constitu- ities which do not at present have over a 50-cent tax rate to increase the same to S1 How to make both ends meet has been a perplexing question to the city fathers for several years and the best financiers have failed to answer the ques- tion, with the result that Florence has a steadily increasing floating debt.
 The second resolution requested the governor to embrace in his call a pro- vision to enable cities situated Flor ence to fund their floating debt recent special election was held which author ized the issuance of s1500O bonds to pay attorneys for the purchasers of the bonds suggested a doubt as to the author ity of the city to fund its floating debt, hence the request that the legislature remedy the defect.

 It was the recognition, said the speak CT, that prompted the Apostle to say, Whatsoever things are true, honest just, pure, lovely, of good report-to think on these things"
 He admonished his hearers to be pro- ducers of thought and not merely con- sumers of thought. He asserted that the satisfying, slothfully sentiment expressed in the sentence, Love, take thine ease,' had been the downfall of more nations, the doom of more dynaties, the ruin of more lives had damned more souls, and wrecked more characters than all the extreme forces of the evil one combined It was intended in the divine plan that every man should do his own thinking" The speaker deprecated the fact that too many men blindy followed the leader ship of those whose personal interest and unholy ambition would wreck a state or undermine the commonwealth or nation.
 He concluded with an eloquent perora- tion, expressing the hope that by the

CITIZENS ARE DELIGHTED

Aliceville, June S.-(Special.) )-The first passenger train was run to the terminus of the Alabama, Tennessee and Northern railroad line in the form of a special which was laden with about 25 citizens of Aliceville and possibly twice as many from Cochrane. The train was run by the railroad people and one fare was the price of the round trip. All report an en- joyable trip, and good indications for the building of a town of considerable note at that place. MT. Cochrane has named this town Panola, and he is the main promoter, having owned the property there prior to the extension of the rail road. It is rumored that as soon as reg ular trains are put on to that point 1t will be supplied with regular passenger instead of the present combination, and also a local freight train that will also carry passengers. The need of this ser vice has been long felt, and it is believed that the movement will be a profitable one for the company.
