the mental faculties. 1t is not strange thing why men drink. Some of them drink because they like the taste of it, some because they think it is manly. The alcoholic is a great. big, overgrown baby, and may be weaned from it If kept away from the bottle long enough The ipebriate longs for his foster moth CT, for she entertains him and cheers him when he is lonely. Alcohol de- ranges the mind and the body and en- dangers health.
 The world of religion answers that John Barleycorn is an enemy of morality and character. Poverty, misery suffering and death are all his sad toll from human life
 Everyone ahere will do one of three things: drink all he wishes, drink mod erately and temperately, or be a total abstainer but I say that alcohol is a mere puppet to a bad dream and stranger to the whole way of living If had the greatest appointive power of this country I would not appoint man to the meanest job unless l had an ani- davit to the effect that he did not drink

THE DEATH OF JOHN TOPIC
 'OF STRONG SERMON
Dr. Gregory Says Tt Will Be Americas Greatest Day When She Takes
 Her Last Drink"

The Death of John Barleycorn'' was the subject of an eloquent and pertinent sermon at the First Methodist church yesterday morning when Rev Carl c. Gregory, the assistant pastor preached in the absence of pr. George R. Stuart, the pastor, who is on his vacation.
 Tt will be great day for America when America takes her last drink" said Dr. Gregory, and I am going to decide that question Tuesday for my part, and hope your name will be by mine. God, help us to do it!
 T believe that I can stand here this morning and announce to you that John Barleycorn is dead The only question Is whether we will bury him for the duration of war or forever
 Ask the business world if John Bar leycorn is their friend. The answer will be, We are against him, for he is an enemy to efficiency All of the sov- ereigns even found that just a kttle alcohol diminishes the craftsmanship of their soldiers. They tried it out and in the test without alcohol out of 30 shots there were g hits and seven misses Later they gave these same men glass of beer every day, and then tried them again, only to find that they hit three out of 30, when on the third trial with out beer they made a score of 26 out of 30
 Business efficiency is absolutely in- compatible with alcohol. There was d drunkard who, while on his way home, ran into tree 13 times, then he came to the conclusion that he was in forest Later, he ran into another tree that was garded by an iron grating, and he inn mediately decided after hitting it several times that he was in jail again.
 IN SPITE OF WHISKY
 Jack London, in reply to the question as to whether he could have done what he did without John Barleycorn, replied to the question that he had never gotten a thing out of John Barleycorn, but that all he had ever accomplished was in spite of him.
 The world of science answers back he is the enemy of health and we are against him. Alcohol never acts as stimulant on the spinal column, the brain or the limbs. The speech and activity of a drunkard is lack of control and not of increased efficiency.
 Alcohol does not increase one's vigor or depth of thought, it rather benumbs

 Previous Candidate a GIVES SOME OF THE PAPERS AIDING HIM Also Pays Tribute to Others Who Have Taken Prominent Part
 in the Campaign for
 Anniston Man

Harry M. Ayers, editor of the Annis- bama Press association, stated in conver- saton with representative of The Age Herald yesterday evening that if he has one source of qualification that rises above another in connection with the splendid campaign that has been waged by Lieut.. Gov. Thomas E. Kilby for the office of chief executive of the state, it is the remarkably strong indorsement Mir. Kilby has secured from the press of Alabama, as he probably has the strongest newspaper support ever accord ed any candidate for state office. Mir

"As for my part in the campaign, ] an. merely one of the thousands of loyal Annistonians who was selected by the folks at home to accompany MT. Kilby on his trip and tell the people of the state of the esteem in which he is held as business man, citizen and public official by those who know him best I have endeavored to do this, and if I have one source of qualification that rises above all others in connection with my efforts it is the splendid indorsement that has been given his candidacy by the newspapers of the state.
 During my two terms as president of the Alabama Press association I became intimately associated with the editors and publishers of Alabama, and I have learned from this association that the newspaper men of tho state will not in dorse any candidate who does not ring true, and who lacks sincerity and posi- tiyeness, and who will not fight for the principles in which he believes. Having followed MT. Kilby through four other successful political campaigns, l know nim 70 te & man of conviction and as- sertve character; and when he was rep resented in this light to the independent editors Of the state he at once made an appeal that challenged their indorse- ment.n
