WilIett for Dispensary

| Referring to the address of Capt. R. P Hobson at the New Noble theatre Tues day evening as ',glittering, generalities, Judge J. J. Willett, the prominent Annis- ton attorney, made a reply in an interview given out here today, in which he goes on record In a very forcible argument foI the establishment of a dispensary system in Calhoun county.
 "Prohibitionists can walk around with their heads in the clouds, Judge Willett says, "but they have got to keep their feet on terra frma,'' and in view of the approaching session of the Alabama leg islature, he says, the question of dis pensary must needs be faced by Annis- tonians for financial reasons.
 Anniston faces about the same condY- tions that are faced by Birmingham, Mo- bile. Montgomery, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Eufaula and other cities which will de- mand a dispensary system, Judge Willett says, and all of these cities have found themselves in need of money under pro- hibition rule. He estimates that about S10O, 900 would be realized from a dlspen- sary here, and says this would not only relieve the city's financial stringency, but would provide many improvements for the city and county that are now imprac- ticable.

Death Rate Among Negroes

Cause for alarm is expressed in Mont gomery owing to the generally increased death rate among negroes of this city. The condition Is unaccounted for inas- much as Montgomery is considered to be one of the healthiest cities in the south, and inasmuch as the death rate among the whites Is far less than the birth rate.
 During the month of November, it is pointed out by the sanitary department, IS white persons died from more or less natural causes, while 10 negroes died. Of the negroes who died more than half of them were below the age of 35 years.

Griffith, is meeting with bitter opposition on the part of many of the people of the town and pc tition to the governor, the legislature and the senate is being circulated and will be forwarded to that body against the proposed bill becoming law. The establishment of a law and equity court for Cullman county would naturally necessitate the appointment of judge, Il SOIlC1lOI anu u citih UT IcS fSlel lOI the court by Governor ONeal. the judge to draw a salary of s2500, the solicitor to draw about the same amount, and the clerk to collect fees the same as are now paid the circuit court clerk.
