 States Senate
By HERVEr w. LAIRD.

sure to stand him in good stead if he decides to go into the contest.
 Other Prospects.
 Although he has regarded the prohibi- ton question as having been settled by passage of the law, H. s. D. Mallory of Selma, who is a candidate for gov ernor, has been forced to re-state on fre- quent occasions that he is in full &C., cord with, not only the present statutes, but with such other measures as will be necessary to fully enforce the spirit of the movement.
 Henry B. Gray of Birmingham was one of the leaders in the senate for the pas- sage of the general prohibition bill and is known to be fully in line for such additional enactments will bring about a satisfactory enforcement of its pro- visions.
 Walter D. Seed is constantly in the at- titude of friendship and devotion to this side Of the temperance question. Hence 1t is seen that the effort to get a safe seat on the water wagon is one of the most striking features of the political situation.
 The report that Emmett O'Neal may be induced to enter the race for the gover- norship on the local option platform is taken down here to mean nothing more than another part of the movement in the interest of MT. Spragins. It is hardly like ly that two men from the same part of the state will seek the office. and es- pecially improbable that they would do so on the same side of question so tensely interesting as that of the sale of liquors at this time.
 Governors Attitude.
 The attitude of Governor Conner is in the minds of the people related in large measure to the political prospects of for mer Chief Justice Samuel D. Weakley. That is to say, so far as the governorship have an ambition to succeed one of the present United States senator's and his activity in the interest of prohibition, as well as the several state issues which he has backed up for long time, is thought to be a making of hay for tho race which he will enter in due time for the higher office
 If the legislature re-esta blishes and re- news that strong sentiment for the ab- solute prohibition of the sale and manu- facture of liquors. and in addition exacts such laws a will be effective in giving strength to the general proposition pass ing them in such way that they will be able to stand the test of the courts, Governor Conner and his particular friends will be much more firmly established in the hearts and preferences of the people than would be the case if the other influences should prevail. In this event 1t Is believed that Judge Weakley will be so presented to the people that he will almost certainly enter the race for gover- nor. and will have the entire and cordial support of the administration.
 Other Candidates.
 Colonel Mallory and MT. Gray and MT. Seed will then be put to the necessity

Montgomery, July 10.-(Special. )-With the near approach of an extra session of the legislature talk naturally runs to the effect of 1t politically, as well as along leg islative lines. No one who makes any sort of a study of the situation in the state can doubt but that the session will have much to do with the ambitions for office of men now prominent before the public.
 Though the prohibition law Is firmly es- tablshed upon the statute books as an act legally and correctly passed in every way. the question of prohibition is no less an issue than 1t was two or three years ago. The fact Is that just now the sale and manufacture of liquor is much more complicated in its attitude to the state as a legal organization than 1t ever has been in the history. of the coun- try.
 As consequence, men are going to be made more popular or rendered less pop ular by the outcome of whatever will be attempted during the meeting of the law makers soon to be held. The absolute prohibition of all sale and manufacture
 
 special session In November. 1907, when the bill for general prohibition was passed. On the other hand, 1t Ais pretty generally believed that liquor itself Is very little if any, stronger than 1t was at that time. The radical action of the prohibition leaders has brought about somewhat of a reversal of opinion as to whether or not absolute inhibition is the best way to handle the situation.
 Political Significance.
 Of the men who are before the public in a prominent way at this time, there Is only one who has had the temerity to boldly espouse any change from the pres ent legal statutes. This man is Senator R. F.. Spragns of Madison county, who stood alone in opposition to the passage of the prohibition bill in the upper house He has not hesitated to say that the democratic party Is committed to local option, and that the passage of a bill prohibiting the sale and manufacture In the state as 0 whole was a failure to keep faith with the people. He has an nounced that he will seek at the special session to have re-enacted the dispensary provisions which were proving satlsfac~ tory to his people when they were an nulled by the general act.
 MT Spragins js expected to enter the race for governor on local option plat form, and 1t is said that his friends are already preparing the way for a strong fight in his behalf. Though out of line with the dominant faction in the senate on almost every important question. MT. Spragins maintains a degree of popularity and influence with his associates that is

Mrs. Purser Entertains.

Tuscaloosa, July 10.-(Speeial.) )-Yes- terday afternoon from to o'clock Mrs. S. A. M. Purser entertained at an elegant reception in honor of her niece Mrs. Aubrey Boyles, who is now on a visit here to her parents, MT. and Mrs. F. $. Moody. Mrs. Jurser's attractive home was beautifully and tastefully decorated for the occasion. An unfor- tunate feature was the fact that Mrs Purser herself was too indisposed to be present at the time. Mrs F. s, Moody headed the receiving line in her absence. Others in the receiving line were Mrs. Boyles, the honoree, Mrs. Hugh Barr Miller of Hazelhurst, Miss; Mrs. Emerson Greer Wilson of Dallas. Tex; Miss Annie Searcy, Mrs. George R. Rau, Mrs. John H. Barber, Mrs John Van Lear, Miss Ellen Foster and Miss Mary Lou Marlowe.

Girl Charged With Larceny and Boys
With ,ialiciousnesS

Dora raul, thu girl arrested foi
appropriating clothing at the KEN
merer home, pleaded guilty this af-
ternoon before Justice Hatch to pet
tit larceny and was fined thirty days
in Jail and s25 and costs.
The second boy named White
charged with putting the coupling
pin on the track at Ault, was brought
down this afternoon. The Marion
boy says that he kicked the pin OF
once after the White boy had placed
it, but that the latter put it back
again to see how hard the motor
velocirede would strike it.
Marion came here several months
ago with his mother and was lett
in this vicinity for his health. The
father came out here short while
ago and is staying at the Beetham
ranch. He is brother of Mrs. Beet
ham. The boy admits that his par
ents warned him to stay away from
the White boy but did not heed the
advice. The father is very much
worried over the affair, and if the
boy gets out of this trouble will taxi
him back east, health or no health.
The parents of the lad are very re-
spectacle people and have good con-
nections mere.
