Huntsville, May 24.-(Special)-
State Senator Robert E. Spragins, who
was one of the leaders of the local
option fight in the last elestion, has
ritten a letter to a local newspaper
giving hrs opinion as to the meaning
of the recent local option victory.
Among other things he writes:
Prior to the passage of the state
wide prohibition bills the system of
handling the liquor question, in Ala
bama was by the licensed saloon ex-
cept as changed. in certain sections to
prohibition or dispensaries by special
enactment The basis of the system
was the licensed saloon, to which there
were exceptions as indicated, secured
by local bills. Then a general bill was
passed in 1907 known as the local OPP
ton bill under which any county by
o. vote of its people could put prohi-
bition into effect with out further leg
islative authority. Under these local
option bills so or more counties had
gradually declared for prohibition and
had made it reasonably effective and
only a few counties had open saloons
and a few others dispensaries. This
local option system was repealed by
the passage of the statewide bills, SO
that the system now In erect legally

Eufaula, May A-(Special) 1.-THE many
interesting and instructive exercises that
are now characterizing the closing of the
public schools in various districts of the
rural sections of the county are clearly
indicative that at least one very impor-

in agricultural pursuits is rapidly being
supplied.
1t is no uncommon sight to see beauti-
fully appointed school houses dotted at
intervals all over old Barbour county, and

large and the teachers are among the
best to be had.
