ALABAMA MILITIA
REMAINS IN GiRARD

Columbus, Ga, May 23.-The Ala
bama military prepared for their sec
ond weeks occupation of Girard by
establishing more permanent headquar
ters in designated buildings and in
stalling a regular army kitchen, indi-
eating that they will be on the job
for some time yet.
In the meantime the search for the
whiskey continues, although there
were no sensational discoveries today
During Sunday night the Manhattan
Club, in Girard, was raided and forty
five bottles of whiskey buried in the
ground in the cellar we're unearthed.
The list of deputies taking part in
the searching and seizure were re-
duced today. There was at one time
eighty-three names on the lists.
1t is understood reports have been
in circulation to the effect that the
raiders have both been drinking and
selling the seized whislley. Law Agent
M. S. Baughn today offered a re-
ward of $10C for evidence that either
a deputy of militiaman drank or sold
any Of the captured liquor. T. E.
Middlebrooks of Birmingham and G..
M. Hash of Chattanooga, revenue Of
fcers, have arrived in the city and
are making investigation for the gov
eminent in connection with the whis-
ky seizure.
An interesting report in circulation
as to the origin of the campaign
against Girard whisky folks is to the
ecect that certain citizens and prop
erty owners of Russell county, indig-
nant over the situation at Girard,
went to Montgomery, conferred with
the attorney general Of Alabama and
offered him a check Of $4,000 with
which to bear the expense OF raid
ing Girard. The check was not ac-
cepted but the circulation rumor car
ries the full details Of the alleged IN,
cident.

MOB VIOLENCE is
SCORED BY BAPTISTS

Asheville, N. c., May 23-The
Southern Baptist convention at it's
closing session here today, adopted
resolutions asking for the enactment
of a national prohibition law. urging
that the District of Columbia be made
prohibition territory and requesting
better police protection for public
speakers. The resolution referring &c
public speakers declared that "it is
alarming to note the frequency with
which freedom of speech and of the
press is being interfered with by mobs
in our cities and towns"
1t was explained that while the pro
test against mobs had reference chief
ly to mob violence in various parts
of the country against persons lee
turing on religious subjects it ex,
press the conventions opposition TIC
mob violence, by whatsoever and
against whomsOever directed
In the course of the debate on this
subject speakers denounced the bill
pending in Congress to make the
Postmaster General the supreme cen
sor of the denomination and secular
press "by giving him authority to re
fuse use of the mail to publications
attacking religion. Another bill pend
ing in congress, which it was declar-
ed would give a Judge in the District
Of Columbia the right to 'consign
without trial" a child to ANY home
Or other institutions he saw fit, also
came in for censure Neither Of the
subjects were included in tne reso-
buttons, however.
Freedom of speech and press was
,he keynote of a number of speeches
and the Rev. DR.. Len BrOughton OF
Knoxville took occasion to declare
that while he would not curtail free
dom of the press, he would be pleased
to see some method adopted by which
newspapers in the vicinity in which
a Sensational crime is committed
might not try the case and bring in
the verdict" before the case came up
in court.
The prohibition question came up
under the report of the committee on
prohibition, and it's adoption put
Southern Baptists on record as 'un
alterably opposed to the liquor traf
fic, gambling dens, dens of vice and
child labor and the sweat shop"
The convention meets next year in
New Orleans, May 1917, and will out
line the work of its boards this year

If the official returns of the prohibition plebscite confirm the reports already received majority of three votes oG of total of l45 n favor of granting licenses Ill Yukon terri for the importation and sale of intoxicating
 liquors within its boundaries 1t is remarkable showing and of thinking proves that very healthy state of pub

 The vote close ii will have very sautay effect upon the traffic in intoxicating liquors in future for it is mis akabe warning to dealers that henceforh the intent well the letter of the law in relation to the importation manuac and sale of this class of goods will have to be strictly ob served for the rng nfracton of it's mandates may be sufficient in the present evenly balanced scale of public opn ion to change negative into the affirmative for there be doubt but that at the earliest possible date the people who favor prohibition will again try conclusions and any change sentiment the part of those who last week voted to pepe
