.DR. GROVE EXPECTS 0|L IN SAN ANTONIO Former Birmingham Man Believes Great Oil Field
 Surrounds the City

Information that Dr. c. B. Grove, formerly of Birmingham, is still in terested in oil development comes from San Antonio, Tex. Dr. Grove was es- pecially prominent in the early oil and gas excitement in Alabama The San Antonio Express contains the follow ing:
 Several months ago, Dr. G. B. Grove, an amateur geologist, wandered into San Antonio and made a study of the geology of this district. The Balcones fault zone, he claims. has made break in the earths strata from a point near Del Rio, running east to or near San Antonio, then northeasterly by way of Austin. Taylor, etc He cailms this fault zone is the cause of the big springs like Leon Sprinks, Silver Lake, San An tonic. Comal, San Marcos, Manchaca, Austin, San Gabriel and others, and that this break enables the water to escape on the north and west sides of the main. or the parallel. or the diver gent faults. and that the south and east sides of the faults will develop great oil fields. He said the same geological structures and conditions are there that exist in Old Mexico in the Tampico fields. and he predicts that San Anto- nio is the coming oil center of the United States, if not of the world. His writings on the subject read good-and he insists that the drill will verify his predictions--aS San Antonio is in need of cheap fuel.

 provided in Christ salvation sufficient l for all, adapted to all, and freely offered | in the gospel to all; that men are fully responsible for their treatment of Gods gracious offer: that His decree flinders

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Wet Territory Always Nearby


 To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In your issue of the 18th, commenting on the West Virginia prohibition law and the effort of Georgia to put more drastic prohibition laws into effect YOU say. 50 long as there is wet territory with in easy striking distance volators of pro- hibition will doubtless wage a merry war with the authorities
 The plans of West Virginia, Georgia and possibly Alabama to enforce the pro- hibition law have in measure been tried in the other prohibition states of Maine, Kansas and others and in every instance have proven failure Maine, more es- pecially, enacted a law in 1908 that em- powered the governor to appoint a de- tective and police force with authority to apprehend all violators of the prohibition law. It was not effective.
 The wet territory of which you speak is never out of reach. Alcohol can be made from everything that will ferment, from pine top to sugar cane. In Maine, North Dakota and other prohibition states, cider as a basis is effectively pro- ducing a fair grade of alcohol, while in the latter state dandeion blossoms are extensively used to produce wine. To the above may be added potato, sorghum, berries and fruits.
 Legislation that does not have public opinion behind 1t is never effective, and no prohibition legislation seems to have been the creation of an honest public opinion. That part. of the public which is mainly responsible for such legislation is always solicitous of the welfare of the 'other fellow" The intention is to prohibit" the "other fellow but not to affect self. Hence the failure to pro- hibt the sale and transporting of liquor for personal use in so many "dry" states Very truly yours, T. M. GILMORE, President National Model License
