Alcohol and Insanity

One of the 1amentable facts of our
civilization is the increase in the per-
centage Of men and women committed
to hospitals for the insane, and Ala
bama has been right along with other
states in showing an increase in the
number of her mental detectives.
The causes of this condition are sew
eral, according to the best authorities
on mental diseases, but 1t is generally
conceded that one of the most active
agencies in producing insanity is the
use of various kinds of stimulants in
Guiding alcohol.
| Statistics from the hospitals OF
Kansas tend to bear out the conten-
| ton that alcohol is to blame for the
presence of many in the mad houses
| According to these figures, in 1900
when the state prohibition laws were
poorly enforced, the number Of patients
committed to the hospitals for the in.
sane was 62.4 for each thousand pop
uIation.
| Since that time, however, the mum.
Der has decreased until in 1910 it wa.
only 52.4 per thousand. The hospita
authorities attribute the large decrease
to the strict enforcement of the prohi
bition laws.-Birmingham News.

Grand Jury Presentment.

To his Honor Thos. S. Sease, Judge
of the Seventh Circuit, presiding in
sessions court,of said county, spring
term, 1912.
The Grand Jury in it's final present
ment Of the present term, begs leave
to submit the following to the court.
All bills handed US by the Solicitor
have been passed upon and have re-
ceived careful attention.
Committees of this body have been
appointed for the purpose of making
an examination of the poor house, all
county Offices, to examine into the en-
forcement of all child labor law. d
as to all graded crossings on ra..-
roads of this county, said committees
to make their reports at the next
term of court, the former and several
presentments of the grand juries of
this county, touching the removal of
barbed wire fences from near the
public roads of the county or the pro-
lection of such fences as provided by
law have not as we are informed,
beanc complied with, in SO faS the
township Of Gross Keys, Bogansville
and Union are concerned.
The Grand Jury is in receipt of a
written report from the county super
visor touching the compliance of the
county government with former rec
concentrations of this jury. In the
main this report is satisfactory but
as pointed out in the preceding para
graph, there are still a few recon-
mendations that have not been COM
piled with.
Thanking your honor and the Off
GERS of the court for courtesies shown
us we ask that we may be discharged
for this term.

To Our Customers and Friends.

We respectfully announce to our
customers and rfiends in particular
and to the public in general, that
hereafter we will sell nothing but
drugs and medicines on Sunday. We
will not sell cold drinks, cigars, to-
bacco nor any other article Of mer-
chandise on the Day of Rest. We
have reached the deliberate conclu-
sior tiiat it is both poor business and
a violation of the Divine command
ments so to do.
Our prescription department will
be open Sundays from 8 to II o'clack
a. m, and from 8 to o'clock p.
m. If the druggist is needed at any
other hour during Sunday, he may
be found by calling him up over the
phone, 139.
We feel that a grocery or dry goods
store has as much right to sell tobac-
CO and cigars, soaps and other ar
ticles of merchandise on the Sabbath
day as have we to sell these articles,
on that day, and we have decided that
we will no longer do so.
z. We are deeply grateful 10 our
friends and customers for the bust
ness they have given us in the past,
and we trust you will continue to
give US your patronage in the fu-
ture. We take the position that no
man can work successfully seven
days in the week, year in and year
out. 1t is humanitarian determi-
nation, as much as anything else that
we refuse to conduct a regular SELL
ing of goods and articles of merchan-
disc. Our clerks are on duty from
early morning to late at night every
day in the week. We feel that Sun
day belongs to them. We believe it
will make them more faithful, more
courteous, more attentive to business
during the six days of hard work if
they be allowed to rest the seventh

Some Things / Don't Like to See.

Jonesville, May 20.
/ don't like to see men who live in the
s mill town, ..-1
Sitting in the shade and in the
streets all the day round,
When their children, poor little, tired
Are aS on their 'si feet at work in the
mill from day light till dark.
I don't like to see q young widow lay
off her widows weeds,
- Dixie up in white swiss trimmed
with, red beads,
Wearing red striped stocking and her
face painted red,
. Giggling and laughing at every
thing she hears said.
I dn't like to see a Governor so
shrewd and so smart;
Take all the departments of the
5 government up his sleeve at
the start;
Turn men out Of Office, pardon crimi-
nails at a rapid rate;
But in against the Supreme Court
the legislature and the United
States.
don't like to see old maids living in
a lonely fiat,
With no one to comfort and cheer,
but her poodle dog and tom cat.
Can't understand why she will thus
linger and tarry,
\ For she might find some bashful
young fellow, do all the court
ing and then marry.
l don't like to see young widower go
courting too soon,
Before his wife has been dead many
wanes of the moon;
Bowing and smiling at every young
lady he sees,
Can / call round to night?, say
yes if you please"
