AGED MRS. COWART
 DIES AT LITTLE OAK

Troy. March 1s.-(Special )-News reached Troy at an early hour today announcing the death at her home near Little O-ak, eight miles from Troy. of Mrs. l.. E. Cowart, who died this morning.
 Mrs. Cowart had reached the ripe old age of S9 years after a useful and well spent life. She was the daughter of William Carter, who moved to this county when she was only 5 years old. settling in the same neighborhood where this daughter spent eighty-four years of her life. and doing as much to aid in the development of this sec ton as any citizen who ever lived in Pike County.
 In 1S4S she was married to Hansford B. Cowart. one of Pike Countys most honored citizens. who died In 1890.
 Mrs. Cowart had been falling in health for some time, but 1t was thought this morning that she might finger several days longer. Prof F. J. Cowart. who has been at his moth er's bedside for some days, came to town this morning for few hours to attend to some important matters. He was greatly shocked to learn by tele- phone that she died few hours after he left.
 She was a devout member of the Methodist Church at Little Oak. where the funeral will occur tomorrow morn- ing. The interment will take place at the family burying ground near the old homestead.
 She is survived by three sons and three daughters. Prof. F. J. Cowart B. M Cowart and J. H. Cowart of Troy, Mrs. c. J. Beck and Mrs. G. A Sanders of Glenwood and Mrs. J. N Diekenson of Ariton.

Bit of Butler County
 History. IT IS ANOTHER CASE OF
 DRYNESS IN GREENVILLE Enforce Prohibition Law Because Sentiment backs It Up. Contract With Condition. Two De- cades Ago, When Prohibition Was Forced and 'Tigers'
 Reigned.
BY CHAS. L. HAROLD.

Greenville, March 16.-The famous English essayist once wrote that his- tory is philosophy teaching by exam- pie. TRe citizens of Greenville and of Butler County generally seem to have agreed with the adage. They have apparently adopted the truth here and on this prohibition question have seen to it that history did not repeat itself.
 Discussing prohibition with some of the older .;itizens of Greenville put them in a reminiscent mood. They were prone to dig deep into the past for comparison of conditions twenty years ago with the conditions as they exist today And those were turbu- lent times in the latter eighties. In such comparisons the contrast is evil dent between the prohibition status of two decadess ago and prohibition conditions as tley have existed since the sovereign Iuil of Butler County drove the saloon away.
 For it should be remembered that prohibition was tried here during the two years beginning Jan l. 1888. At least, to be accurate. there was a state of liquor traff.e designated as pro- hibition. Even SD young a man as Mayor c. E. Hami1t on of Greenville re- calls the farcical niItnre of prohibition that had been sho ved upon Beat 12

routine but 1t is a much better state of affairs at that.
 The testimony of the Black Belt that prohibition has practically stripped the highways Saturday evenings of dan gerous and shooting negroes is re- peated by farmers of this vicinity. They say 1t is safer under prohibition for themselves and families to get to the country for outing. The negroes do not return to their homes in such big numbers as before and they are not maddensd to destruction by drinking boose.
 Mayor Hamilton makes the interest ing statement that in the past thirty days he has held City Court but once and only one offense was adjudged at that sitting. He notes a healthy de- crease in drunkenness in the city and a correspondfng reduction In offenses traceable to whiskey. That Is also confirmed by City Marshall J. R.. Porterfield. There Is. in fact, talk of cutting the police force by one man. They are using now three men to po- lice the city.
 Business Not Hurt.
 Although the city was deprived into more than $i00.000 annually, pro hibition has not seemingly hurt the town. As a rule. if business Is dull the man complaining does not lay the blame on prohibition. On the contrary since prohibition went into effect some rents have gone up while others have hardly slumped, as it was thought. There are probably less empty houses here than before prohibition. There has been a road building activity.
 The writer. accorded the privilege of canvassing the entire City Council. found not an opponent of present con- ditioAs in a body composed of bank CT, a wholesale grocer, an ice manu- facturer, druggist and lawyers. They are ali satisfied with the improvement of prohibition. By the dismissal of sa- looms the city loses annually about $3,- 900, representing retail licenses and the falling off In police court fines. Other licenses have been raised but slightly. 1t being the policy of the city to recoup its revenue by gradual growth of city and increases tn tax valuations.
 But the authorities feel an extra force and reinsurance in enforcing the law because of the people having voted locally for It. And the law and order league has for Its watch word. Ever Vigilant."

in a kind of strained and horrifled eX,

Only an instant the gaze hung be-

hushed, for there was not wanting in
