The Local Option Campaign Committee ln attempted defense of the Smith Liquor Law ad- vertises that because of local three mle statute saloons cannot he established at Woodlawn or East Lake Thev-are either grossly ignorant ot the law or are Intentionally misrepresenting It. The three mile law which they claim is in force and will prevent the Excise Commission from locating saloons at Woodlawn and East Lake was repealed by the statewide prohibition law known as the Carmichael Act. (Acts Alabama Special Session 1909, page 8. By this Car michael.bill uniform prohibitory statute was adopted by the state of Alabama and all local prohibtorv statutes were repealed. We repeat over our si gnatures that the Excise Commission if saloons are voted in, will have the power to locate saloons and thirty-room hotels and res taurant saloons and wholesale liquor houses selling at retail for sampling purposes, ln either Woodawn or East Lake or anywhere else within the incorporated nnhls ol Nleatei Birmingham, except within three hundred feet of an existing church or public school. If the opposition in joint discussion with us will con- vince an audience in either of these towns or in the city of Birmingham that this is not the law we will resign our positions and return to our law offices The issue in this election is the ln- iquitous Smith Liquor Law as applicable to sa- looms, thirty-room hotels, social clubs, wholesale liquor houses retailing liquor for sampling pur poses, and corporation liquor dealers. The op- position cannot defend it and they are not going to be able to away from it.

GRAND JURY

 Surprise CRITICISE SHERIFF Major McIver Completes Report ot National Guard-Itinerary of High School Commission.
 Trustees Meet July 2S

Montgomery, July 5.-(Special)-I the report of the Montgomery county grand jury. which has just been made, the city is experiencing a sensation no less pro- nounced than was the charge of Judge Alms'ead Brown of the criminal court whi5h was delivered to the grand jury two weeks ago Tn that charge Judge Brown laid especial stress on three features of alleged violation. but in the report of the jurors not a single indictment or criticism of any kind is offered respecting those especial features
 | Especial stress was placed by Judge Brown or alleged immortality in some of the smaller downtown sotels of the city but the grand jury says that it has found nc such conditions existing as were all legged. The judge stressed likewise, com- mon varieties of gambling, but no insin- uation was made by the grand jury to justify the charges. Lastly, Judge Brown called attention to the fire escape law, but the jury said that it was being com piled with
 The grand jury, as a matter of fact, had only one criticism to make, in that the jurors charged the sheriff and his deputies with unwise use of power in effecting ar rests, and with a disregard of human life not compatible with the law. No indict- mcnts of any kind were returned by the induis.torial body against the alleged vio- lators of the anti-Sunday baseball law.
 The sheriff in a private statement has denied the charges preferred against him, and exrresses himself as deeply pained over the accusations, which came like a thunder clap.
