LAW BREAKERS
 BECOME TOO BOLD May Call Upon the AttOr- ney General to Apply
 Injunction 7

Gadsden, May 6.-(Special.)- )-Al- though there is but little liquor sold in this city the people are becoming aroused over the boldness of a few men and unless these are made to submit to the law by the authorities there will be some action taken by the people looking to strict enforce ment Of athe Jaw. The mayor of Ala bama city proposes that the three cities join in a request to the attorney general Of the state to close all places known to be violating the law by injunction. The evil here in Gadsden is not of such proportions that such step will likely be taken, still the better element is opposed to allowing any liquor to be sold as when once the illicit sellers get a footh old it takes desperate measures to dislodge them.
