aAs result Of the present prohibition
conditions in Cullman county the best
people on both sides the question are
getting together on a proposition for the
establishment of dispensary system as
the best solution of the veAing question:
said Mayor George ]. Boyer OF Cullman
who spent yesterday in Birmingham.
MANY of the leading prohibitionists
of the town and county are becoming
dissatisfied with the present conditions
and are ready for sonpe sort OF lesai
regulation of the liquor waffle. me ais-
peiAary seems TO offer the most prac-
tictl solution and many of our citizens
are openly in favor of it.
MANY of the erstwhile advocates OF
the open saloon are disposed to favor the
dispensary idea in that it promises the
elimination of some of the Objectionable
features of the saloon and also for its
revenue producing qualities.
But Il majority of these people want
the dispensary laws andaregulatiohs made
go that draught beer may be sold in
the -dispensary or in regularly licensed
beer saloons. Cullman has a large pop
uation that does not drink WHISKY OF
other strong drinks but feel that they
should be allowed to buy and drink
beer. Bottled beer is too expensive fol
the average consumer Draught beer IL
more popular and is in reach of the av-
erage drinker.
These people who do not drink strong
liquors and want beer which they con
-
have what they want and will have un
der the protection of the law.
1T seems to be generally understood
that the nominees for the Legislature
from Cullman county and from the
