VNIHAT'S the use in bothering about
 A/ all sorts of legislative scraps
 W while they are merely pending? After all what the peopit want is that which is to their best interest. They want the building up spirit. The people are not interested in the picayunish. They don't want open saloons at random nor do they want alleged prohibition. Why not take the idea suggested by ex-Gover- nor Jelks for Birmingham and Jefferson county and have dispensary for the sale of strong liquors, and license the hotels, restaurants and clubs where those who would drink may sit at ables and have the same with eatables served thereat; and let the higher spirits be sold by a dispensary with guarantee of purity?
 If such must be had, let the wholesale profits go to the building and maintain ing of good streets and good roads and the general good of the people.
 It is said that there would be approxl- mately from half to million dollars of annual profit from a dispensary system for Birmingham and Jefferson county. Such being the case, why should not the people who are now taxed out of reason

on's-I was almost frozen before I reach ed the house where I was to dine. My friend, Robert c. Redus, was the only other guest. It was large house to which we had been invited, and it was only heated by a grate fire. It seemed colder in the parlor than even outdoors. My host did not keep liquor at home, as rule. but he happened to have small flask which he had recently purchased to be used in case of sickness. As we sat shivering around the fire the hospitable gentleman of the house said he would make us a toddy: that it might do us good. There being no word of protest he looked up the little bottle and In a few minutes returned with three tumblers con- tainpg a concoction of whisky, sugar and little water. We drank those toddies, and each of us exclaimed: This liquor has saved my life!' I don't know how it would have been with MT. Redus. but l have often thought but for that good
 liquor I would have actually frozen to death"
