TODEv|DE STATE
 IN TEN DISTRICTS Brooks Lawrence Outlines
 Plan of League OPPOSES DISPENSARY Says Object of Anti-Saloon League Is Constitutional Prohibition By the Process of
 Education
OPPOSES DISPENSARY

Huntsville May 1.-(Special.)- 1.-The Rev.
 Brooks Lawrence superintendent of the
 Alabama Anti-saloon league, spoke to two large audiences In Huntsville Sunday.
 He said that the object of the league is
 constitutional prohibition of the liquor
 traffic, which they expect to attain by
 easy stages or through the process of ed ucation. He said that the work in Ala
 bama Is soon to be divided into districts so that 1t may be more thoroughly at tended to- There will be ten districts in
 the state with district headquarters at Mobile. Dothan, Opelika, Montgomery,
 Birmingham, Annston. Tros, Florence,
 and Huntsville, each with a superintend-
 ent in charge, all reporting to and being | directed by the superintendent of the state at Birmingham.
 He expressed the belief that the people
 of Madison county would not vote to re- establish a liquor dispensary here. James Holland, a farmer, who is charged with administering poison to his | wife few days ago, after which he
 armed himself and terrorized whole
 neighborhood, has been brought to jail | without the firing of a shot. Holland | said he would never be taken alive and | that no one officer could take him. He
 was found asleep at his home, ordered to | get up and dress and come to town. He | Is as docile as most had men who send
 warnings to the officers not to come after them.
 Sempur Doolitte, aged 90 years. died | at his home in Madison Saturday at mid- l night after an illness of about an hour. | He was one of the oldest citizens In North Alabama and was widely known through out this section. He retained his activity
 and mental faculties until the last day of | his life and was out among his friends
 as usual Saturday. Late at night he was taken suddenly i'll and died almost im-
 mediately. MT. Dooittle was born In New Haven. Conn.,, In 1921 and moved to Mad I ison county in 1869. His widow and son. | William E. Doolittle, survive him.

DECATURS HAVE
 NO COTTON MILL Prospects Bright for Loca- tiOn of Factory With
 $8OO,OOO Capital

Decatur, May 1,-(Special.)-A cotton factory with a capital of SS00,00o Is seek ing A location In the Decaturs and it is said that at this time the prospects are most fattering for the factory coming here.
 When 1t is known that the Decaturs form the third cotton center of import ance in Alabama 1t seems quite remark able that there is no cotton mill here at all. The Gulf Compress company here alone handles more than 100000 bales of cotton annually. This cotton comes here by rail, on the Tennessee and by country wagons. On account of the ad- mirable shipping facilities of Decatur it Is one of the most important cotton centers, not only of Alabama, but of the entire south.
 News of the death of A. J. Life, which occurred at Portsmouth, O., a few days ago has just been received by friends in the Decaturs. MT. Life resided in New Decatur for a number of years, where he and his family were we'll known and quite popular. They moved to Ohio a few years ago.
 E. H. Peck has bought large gen. eral stock of merchandise in New De- catur from E. s. Johnson, and will con- duct the business in the future. MT John son will retire from business. This Is one of the oldest mercantile establish ments in New Decatur. having been started shortly after New Decatur be- came town some 25 years ago. For some time past MT. Peck has had store at Taylorville, but he will move the stock of goods from there to New Decatur
 At this time much trouble Is being ex- perienced by the newspapers of the De- caturs owing to the fact that they are unable to employ sufficient printers dur ing the past few months. It seems that the ld-time tramp printer is either a thing of the past or else he has been giving the Decaturs the go-by for some time.
 The New Decatur Advertiser prints a unique editorial entitled, Tramp Printer Wanted Among other things the edi- torial says. Drop a tear for the poor editor and proprietor. He would gladly exchange places with his hired man. He money, but what could be do with his ex- pensive plant, which it has taken him years to accumulate when times wero easier than they are now? o tempora, O Moses, o H., as the old Roman ora ter said when he was mad, just as mad as we are now"

ROBSON ID TALK 10 ANN|STON BOYS Will Deliver Address at the Presbyterian College
 on May 30

Anniston, May 1.-(Special )--Capt. Rich mond Pearson Hobson, congressman rom the Seventh Alabama district, has been selected to deliver the commencement ad- dress at the Alabama Presbyterian col lege for Men on Tuesday, May 30, and Dr. John w. Stagg, president, stated Monday that he has accepted the invita- ton.
 The local college, now less than years cid, has had a remarkable growth, and the commencement exercises this year will be among the largest In the history of the school. Plans are under way to hold the exercises at the New Noble the atre, as Captain Hobson promises to prove a pig attraction.

 Kilby Boosts Commission
 Thomas E. Kilby, whose two terms as chief executive of the city of Anniston earned him the title of "the business mayor" is behind a. movement to secure the adoption here of his bill which pro- vides the commission form of government for cities under 20,000 inhabitants.
 Alfred L. Tyler son of one of the founders of the city, and president of the board of education, is being prominently mentioned for the place as president of the proposed board of commissioners, MT Kilby, however, wants the Anniston chamber of commerce to recommend the three men who shall constitute the board and he says that he believes that Gov ernor O'Neal will be governed In making his appointments by the suggestions of the business men of the city.
 MT. Kilby has completed a summary of his bill which has been published in both of the daily papers of Anniston. He is rivinG his personal attention to the meas ure, and 1t Is believed that the success Of the innovation at Birmingham and other places where it has been adopted will result in its adoption by the people of the Model City.
 News was received here Monday of the sudden death early in the morning at her home near Weaver, this county. of Mrs. Ida Hubbard, wife of F. l.. Hubbard one of the best-known citizens of the county. Mrs. Hubbard's funeral will be neld al ner late reSluence luesudy mum ing the Rev. George Stoves of Anniston officiating, and interment will follow at Edgemont cemetery in this city.

REFLECTION
CRITICISM
By WILLIAM Il. BAwDfa.

CRITICISM.
"Give q dog a bad name and hang
him." is an old proverb. We Amer
leans are prone to do that, "damning
without the faintest Of praise" to
use DR.. Van Dykes expression. All
this Notwithstanding the warning or
the good that lis to be found in the
most of us and the bad that Is to be
found in all of us.
Our great corporations have come
in for their share of criticism, and
at their door we have laid many or
the troubles of the body polite and
social. 1t is interesting, therefore,
to learn that something may be said
in rebuttal; and 1t Is but Just to say
1t.
The so-called Match Trust has a
| patent on sesquisulphide matches,
thus practically compelling their RI
Gals, for commercial reasons, to use
the common yellow Or white phos-
phorous. The handling Of this lat
ter form of PHOSPHORUS brings a
dread disease to the workmen en-
| ployed, for which there is no remedy
save by the surgeons knife. In or
der that the government may place
a prohibitive internal tax upon the
manufacture of this dangerous pro.
duct, the Diamond Match Company
has surrendered the patent, al
though it means that their rivals
will then be able to compete with
them successfully.
To sit in Judgment upon others, Is
so common that the wonder is thai
we have not found out long before
this. from our consequent errors
how dangerous Is the practice
WHOLESALE condemnation seldom
