There is to be no more making Oh
blackberry cordial in Alabama. the
Alabama housewife who wants to put
by a little cordial for an emergency.
runs counter to the "FullerIicker biif
and subjects herself to arrest, con
yiction and a heavy penalty.
And 1t Is well to note that In TINS
the scuppernong wine season. there
must be no making of scuppernong
wine against the peace ana dignity Oh
the state of Alabama" It's in the law
and the penalty is something fearful
And still more Joy Is to be banished
from Alabama No more may cane
Juice skimmings be set to rerment, IN
the sugar cane season. Alabama mas
got 40 good that the man who dares
to allow, the fermentation OF beer on
his premises, can be put In the deepest
dungeon in the State. That's what the
"Fullerlicker bill" says.
The full tenor and import Of the Ia
nous act Of the last Legislature Is now
beginning to be realized. A cores
pondent wrote Representative J. Lee
Long to know II 1t would be against
the law for his wife to make black
berry cordial Mr.. Long referred the
letter to two of the best lawyers OF
the state. men who had given much
study to the Fuller act. They told him
that 1t would be as great violation OF
the act for q housewife to make a
pint of blackberry cordial as 1t would
be for a brewery to make ten carr
loads of beer.
And going further. they pointed out
that scuppernong wine and cane beer
are banished from the confines of Ala
bama-and they who dallied with them
ran the risk of a jail sentence III the
law was enforced.

UM-Ml PROPER TIME
FOR FISH STORIES. YES

Since the dam broke In the lake at
Electric Park, the county authorities
have decided that the lake is unsani-
tary, and have ordered a large ditch
cut through the lake to drain 1t away.
A citizen of Montgomery was out at
the park yesterday when the ditch
was cut at the bend of the lake near
the amusement places. He said that
he never saw as many fish in any
place In all his life. Fish were as
thick" he said, ''as hickory nuts after
the tree had been shaken thoroughly. -
A negro ditch digger said to him he
would give him mess Of fish. and
when he brought him the string 1t was
a wonder.
Perch. brim. cat and trout were flop
ping about in the mud in abundance.
He said he saw one trout as long as
his arm. and several cat fish as long
as his forearm.
The ditch diggers have dug out a
small pond which they have filled with
water and are putting the fish into 1t.
They are selling them from this pond.

Salvation Army that Captain Odom has
rented a building near the army head
quarters on Whitman Street, where the

AN OBJECT ,LEHRON.


There is q farmer In Irwin county,
Georgia. who according to the Mo-
bile Register, has raised the follow
ing crops ON five hundred and four
acres OF land during the .year Of 1908
Four hundred and thirty-one bales
of cotton, the bales averaging over
five hundred pounds each; three
Thousand, five hundred bushels of
corn, two thousand bales of hay, two
thousand bushels of potatoes and
enough peanuts in the corn field
to fatten one hundred hogs. The cot
ton, at ten cents pound, was worth
$21,55O, but it is thought to have
brought Mr.. Henderson $4,000 be-
cause it was injndiciously sold. The
entire crop is estimated to be worth
$4,000 and the net profit OF the far
mer for the single year, $4,000. Fiji
teen mules and modern machinery OF
the type generally used in the West,
were employed in making the crop.
The entire farm is said to be as lev
ell as a floor, all stumps having been
removed from the land.

THE FOURTEEN-INCH GUN.

Ordinance officers the world over
will watch with interest the results
obtained from the fourtecn-inch gun,
the largest ever built by any nation
for naval use, which the Navy Depar'-
ment has decided to construct at the
navy gun foundry near Washington.
Our three battleships of the Oregon
type, which did good service in the
Spanish war, carries fifteen-inch guns
which, it is believed, are the largest
afloat, but it was deemed that they
had disadvantages which would be OBJ
waited by the twelve-inch guns with
which our battleships of later con-
struction are equipped. In our coast
defenses are huge disappearing guns
of sixteen-inch bore made at the arm
gun factory at Waterville, N. Y, but
they are set upon firmer foundations
than can be obtained on any float
ing craft. Probably the experiment
with the fourteen-inch naval gun is
to be made for the armament of the
big 3Dreadnaught'' battleships which
are building. II it proves a success
all the worlds battleships will have
to be provided with harder and
heavier armor.- st. Louis Republic.
