MRS. OHME INDORSED
 BY WOMEN'S UNION

Mrs. Floribel Brown Ohme was unani- mously indorsed for a place on the coun- ty board of education at the regular meeting of the Womens Christian Tenn perance union held yesterday afternoon at their new headquarters at Twenty first street. The sentiment brought out by the short talks on Mrs Ohme's can didacy was to the effect that by virtue of her intellectually and training as a teacher in the public schools she was eminently fitted for the position. It was also stated that Mrs. Ohme was not a candidate from any particular womans organization but was favored generally by all the womens clubs of the city
 The meeting yesterday was well at- tended and very enthusiastic, being fea- tured by a number of papers read by members of the union on Publicity and the Press Among those reading papers were Mrs. w. H. Jeffries, Mrs. w. l.. Sibley Mrs F. M. Jackson and Mrs. w. Il. Stockham and others. Among the visitors was w. F. Feagin, state su- perintendent of education.
 The tea rooms in connection with the headquarters are open daily from il to women east of Twentieth street, who are cordially invited to visit them during this lunch hour. The rooms are hand scmely fitted up with every convenience and the members of the union will be glad to have them used by the busi- ness women in this locality

.HOBSON GREETED BY LARGE CROWD AS HE PLAYS LIQUOR EVIL
Will Speak Here Twice Next Sunday and Will Later Address Sons of
 Veterans

| Destroying the Great Destroyer" was i the subject of the lecture delivered al | the Bijou theatre last night by Capt 1 R. P. Hobson of Jasper, formerly oi ! Greensboro. The address was not un- | like The Great Destroyer" the prohi- 1 btion speech which Captain Hobson has delivered here on number of other ! occasions. Dr. Edwin I. Stearns, sec 1 retary of the Anti-Saloon league, de l livered brief talk on prohibition and
 the work of the league.
 Captain Hobson declared that liquor was costing the lives of 100000 Americans annually and billions in wasted money. He quoted statistics to show that the life toll of liquor was greater than all the wars and accidents in history. Rus sia, which he stated had lost more men in the European war than any other na- tion, had saved a much greater number of lives through the suppression of the liquor traffic
 Captain Hobson discussed the subject from scientific standpoint and quoted from medical authorities in support of his position. He declared that prohibi- tion was making more rapid progress now than ever before and predicted a dry nation at no far distant date
 pr. Stearns preceded Hobson, discuss ing the work being done by the Anti Saloon league in the effort to stop the sale of liquor. He presented maps show ing the big increases in dry territory during the last few years and took an optimistic view of the future of prohi- bition. , |
 Hobson was literally appauded dur ing his address and was given a cor dial reception by the large crowd pres ent. Although he had delivered several speeches during the day in the interest of his candidacy for Congress in Pick ems county and had been forced to make the trip from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham in an automobile in order to reach his appointment, he lacked none of the vim which he has displayed in his speeches in the past
 After Hobson concluded his address cards were passed through the audience TOT subscriptions to the work of the Antl-Saloon league and considerable sum was raised in this manner
 It wa sannounced last night that Hob- son will deliver two addresses here Sun day lie will speak under the auspices Of the Y. M. c. A. at 3:30 in the aft ernoon at the Bijou theatre, his subject being, "Alabama's Greatest Asset-Her Young Men," He will speak at the South side Baptist church Sunday night at 7:45 on the subject, You Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Make You Free"
 He also agreed last night to make an address in Birmingham sometime next month for the Sons of Confederate Vet erans. A rally is to be held on the occasion of Hobson's visit
