WHISKY WAS FOUR
CENTS A PINT
And Everybody Had to Kill
Crows and Squir-
rels.

The Mt. Sterling Advocate publish
ed In a recent issue some facts in re-
gard to the early history. OF the State
from which we make the following
extracts:
In November 1913 the Kentucky
legislature passed an act requiring
every white male over sixteen to kill
a certain number of crows and SPUR
rels each year.
"In May, 1888, Benjamin r. Prich-
ard of Montgomery county, left his
home in search of a physician who
could relieve him of superabundant
flesh. He was AZ years old and weigh
ed four hundred and eighty three
pounds.
In January, 1899, the county court
of Lewis county prohibited the sale
of whishey by grocens at a great
er price than two cents hell pint.
It is asid that many men abandoned
the business as unprofitable.
In january, 1855, the current value
of slaves was shown by several sales
which took place in Clark and neigh
boring counties, The prices ranged
from $1,000 to $1,5O5.
During March, 1855, several fami-
lies in Clark county lost cattle by
starvation. Others sold their cattle
at half what they cost two years be-
fore. This was caused 10y the search
ty of corn resulting from the great
drouth OF 1854.

LOCALS OF NATIONAL
 PROTECTIVE LEGION
 HAVE BIG BANQUET

The local branch of the National Pro- tective Legion held banquet at the Hotel Hillman last night for the purpose of arousing a fresh spirit of enthusiasm among the members of the association. Covers were laid for 40 people and only a few places were thrilled.
 George A. Scott, national president of the league, was toastmaster at the occa- sion. He was equal in every manner to the delicate task and the various men, bers present responded with ready and appropriate words. The entire affair showed a unanimity of spirit and good feeling on the part of all those represent ing the local chapter of the association.
 A menu of most delectable viands was arranged, on the cards being printed bright quotations, among which were noted "bachelor's fare, bread, cheese and kisses,' from Swift.
 The National Protective Legion Is a fraternal order on the nature of the Knights of the Maccabees. Its existence extends over a period of 23 years, and it's membership includes over 100000 members. There are over 125 members of the local branch. It is one of the pioneers among the associations of its kind.
 Henry C. Lockwood, national secretary, was unable to be present at the banquet James Scott, district manager, was on hand, however, and gave very encourag- ing report of the past work of the as- socaton and expressed his belief in the bright future for the organization.

VEIL FORECASTS
 PERSONNEL OF THE COMMISSION

Marcus weE the well-known Birming- ham merchant, who was a member ,f
 the delegation of prominent men appear ing before Governor O Neal in the interest
 of Mayor Exum, Judge Lane and Harry Jones, is of the opinion that the three
 men are to be the first commissioners of Birmingham.
 After the conference with Governor Neal in the supreme court room, MT. Well had a conference with Governor
 ONeal personally. MT. Well is positive
 in his belief that the three men named
 are as well selected as any three men in the city could be and so informed Gov ernor ONeal.
 On account of his well known intimacy with the chief executive, the opinion of MT. Wei In a matter of such moment will be received with rare interest. He was to have made short speech with the delegation but the short time allowed necesstated the curtailment of the original programme, hence Mr Well and other Birmingham gentlemen did not | have an opportunity to make their public utterances favoring the slated commis- | sioners.

Letters to the Editor
How Bill Affects Doctors

TO the EdltOr Ol The ASe-1eIdlu.
 While. of course. all wish to see
 "quack'' doctors excluded from the prac- tice of medicine the bill now pending be- fore the legislature goes too far. In deed, some of it's clauses are absolutely indefensible, and are violative of every principle of justice and fairness.
 One of the bad features of this bill IS that it allows no jury trial. It is a very serious thing to exclude a doctor from practice as it takes from him perhaps his only means of livlihood. His right to practice is a valuable property right. and there is no justification for denying him a trial by jury. Lawyers charged with illegal practices may demand jury trial, but the above bill provides that the board of medical examiners may snatch up a doctor and try him upon some real or fic- titious charges and bar him from the practice of medicine. The great danger is that the school of medicine which hap
 pens to be in the majority will be given the opportunity of prosecuting less pop
 ular schools. The general public has no interest in the fight between the schools of medicine. All that we ask is intelll-
 gent attention when we are sick, and that we may not have our livers cut out as l an experiment. Certain, doctor is en-
 titled to a jury trial when charges are
 made against him.
 | The worst feature of the proposed leg islation is that the bill provides that the | board of medical examiners shall also | have the right to determine all ques-
 tions as to the sufficiency of the com plaint as to procedure and as to the ad-
 instability and weight of evidence; and
 the law and rules of pleading and evi- dence in the courts shall not be applicable
 to such hearings: but the board shall de- | termine all questions of pleadings and
 evidence according to it's own idea of | justice and propriety.'
 The board is thus given absolute and
 autocrtaic control of the proceeding may | try the accused without any sufficient l charges being made, and may convict him
 without any legal evidence. In other
 words, in the mere exercise of a whim,
 or from an unjust prejudice, the board may exclude an honest and competent physician from the practice. The condl- ! ton which this bill would produce is in- 1 tolerable. It would force a doctor to the
 most servile obedience to the dictates of the board of medical examiners. Surely,
 no fair-minded and just physician could wish to impose such conditions upon a brother practitioner. Doctors are mere men, and, of course. they make their mis- takes. The laity is ordinarily willing to | forget and forgive, and some of this same
 spirit should be shown by the doctors to- | ward each other. This bitter caviling be- | tween the schools, and the petty jealousy | so often seen is unworthy of the dignity | of great profession. Let us have less l criticism of each other and more con
 scientious and conservative effort from

GADSDEN ID HAVE
 BOND ELECTION
The City Council Decides to Issue Bonds to Complete
 the Water Paint

Gadsden, March 2.--(Special. )--The election within a few weeks to allow the people to vote on the question of issuing s4o,o00 or s50.0O0 worth of bonds for the purpose of completip g the water works plant and making ex- tensions in the mains.
 Only $15,000 is needed to complete the new pumping station, but it is believed by the council to be economy to make further extensions of the sys- tenn at this time for which perhaps another s25,000 will be required. There Is some opposition to another bond is sue. but 1t is believed that when vote is taken a good majority will be shown in favor of the bonds.
 The Southern Iron and Steel com pany IS filing suits against the men who subscribed to the fund of s1 600 to bring the wire. rod and nail mill of the company here. The great majority of the subscribers to the fund have made payment but few are standing out or some technicality and another and refusing to take up their notes. One or two suits have already been entered and more are to follow until the mat ter is finally adjusted.
 There is considerable discussion in the city these days to the probable result of an election on the question of a return of the liquor traffic to this city. The liquor element is loud in it's claims that there has been such change of sentiment that saloons would be voted back whenever the people are given an. opportunity. AS the last cleo tion here on the question resulted in vote of five to one against the sa loon the prohibitionists are equally certain that the sentiment for dry town is still strong. AS the situation now stands 1t looks as though the war between the vets and the drys has only just begun instead of being ended by the enactment of local option legis- lation.
 Another committee from this city went to Montgomery last night to make a protest against the new revenue bill. The business men of the city are very much opposed to the insurance clause in the new bill and this is the principal thing against which they will contend. The committee consists of: Charles P. Smith. E. T. Hollingsworth, c. s. Ward, Judge l.. L. Herzberg, J. D. Dun lap and Woodson J. Martin

Montgomery, March 2.-(Special)-An
 interesting discussion occurred before the house committee on the judiciary this aft ernoon on Senator Curry's bill to estao- fish a board of revenue of Shelby coun- tv and to abolish the court of county commissioners of that county.
 J. T. Leeper of Shelby county appeared before the committee in the interest of the bill, declaring that he represented the democrats of his county, and that 1t was the sense of his party that the estab- lishment of the board of revenue would do much toward relieving the eXtrava- aant conditions which at present obtain in Shelby county. He produced EXami- ner Lees report on his examination Of the accounts of Shelby county officials and pointed out that his county was
