MANY SALOONS TO
 CLOSE TOMORROW
Official of Liquor Dealers .Aseocia tior
 States He Expects Majority Of
Earrooins to Close.


 BY tomorrow night it is expected that a ma ajority of the saloons in this city will close their doors permanent 1E. \ statement 10 this effect was issued this afternoon by one of the officials of the local Liquor Dealers association. With the enforcement of the national prohibition amendment, saloons and liquor houses are for biddcn to sell any beverage which contains one half of one per cent. of alcohol.
 Local saloon men who have kept open since the wartime prohibition amendment went into effect have been selling near-becr, cider and other soft drinks and report they just covered expenses. Cider has been the only drink sold since the first of July with any "kicll'' in it and the sale of this drink is prohibited when the national prohibition amendment takes effect Cider, it is said, contains over onc-half of one per cent. of alcohol.
 Several of the SaloOnkeepcrS who will close their doors tomorrow have years and one remarked that he will not open up again until he can sell the good old real bcer.' Another stated that from the present outlook it is probable he will never again sc!; booze the way he did in the dear old days"

 Other things said by Editor Brum- mitt:
 Tn the North Alabama conference, 13 district leagues are at work. Every district has met this year. and more than met, all it's budget pledges "One presiding elder notified his preachers 1 that any man who wants to stay in that district next year must have two things, Ford car and an active chap

r1.Cst come. North Alabama leaguers ard Brother Graham Echofs have finest ground for great qualification. They have done things. They are on tho map.
 BISHOP CANNON
 He is Virginia gentleman, who prior to his choice to the bishopric in 1918 was prominent in the councils of his confer ence and of he-Southern Methodist con- nection. From a college presidency he came to the episcopacy. His college ad- ninistration was with distinguished abil- ity and marked success, and at the same time he was editor of the Richmond Christian Advocate. He has seen valua- ble and extensive service with the Anti Saloon League in his state in the nation and abroad. having but recently returned from a speaking trip in this behalf in England and Scotland
 Bishop Cannon is a great traveller. He itinerates. However, he has fixed his family, settled them for while at least in Birmingham, through the activities of resident Methodist ministers. His episcopal oversight has heretofore been in the far southwestern the Mexican border and in Mexico. His assignment to the Alabama conference is his first work east of the Mississippi. The movement to secure his residence in BlrmIn nam may De taken as express siye of the mind of the brethren anent his assignmen ent here.
 During the past summer shortly after. his assignment, the bishop had occasion to visit Birmingham. Wh ere upon, certain fine stewards had occa- sion to pay their respects-and to con fer with himSand too, local pastors had occasion in body to call upon him to pay their respects. He infosm med the calling pastors that his work fer years had been very largely given to educational work among young !adias; accordingly. his mind was specially trained and set for knowing them;

a Athens conference, 610--the largest attendance upon such conference south or north and a faculty in personnel and numbers of the finest; in the way of assistance of the pastors, visits made to strangers above 1700; visits to the sick, above $500; contributed for charity, $1135; 50 programmes held for teaching church doctrine; 1890 devo- tional meetings held; 545 leaguers re- gular readers of Alabama Christian Ad- vocate; above 1700 leaguers attend Sun day night church services; at least 500 social and literary meetings held. with average attendance of at least 2700, Dr. Rawlings, general missionary secre- tary, says that 90 per cent of mis- sionaries credit the League with direct inspiration for their decision. Thus does the North Alabama Epworth Lea que write a new and inspiring chapter in the history of activities among the rising generations of Methodists
 Says Editor Brummitt of the Ep- worth Herald, Chicago:
 The story came out .during a.visit to the North Alabama Conference League Institute at Athens, Ala Six years ago, the treasurer of the league con- fernce handled sixty five dollars for all purposes.
 Five years ago young minister, the Rev. William Graham Echols, became president of the conference league. He and his associates began to work for a larger self-respect and an increased interest in the league work among the young people.
 'The puget of the conference became $500; then s40o0. then sl4,000--this was last years total-and the puget for the new year is is eighteen thous- ind dollars.
 "Dr. Brummitt then relates how, when Bishop Lambuth came back from his African explorations with plea for opening mission field, the board of missions had no money available, and
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-11-07

consequently there might not be read mess and ability immediately to fix the names and faces of mere men. And thereby hangs a tale. One of the call ing pastors had served on a general conference committee with Dr. Cannon, had met him otherwise occasionally along, and assumed that as he knew even so was he also known. So when the brethren filed out for introduction, this assuming caller held back till tha last. presented himself with extended
 hand, expecting recognition; but the
 bishop said: This is brother-ah-- ah--and there he stalled. until Elder Echols of the Birmingham district named him! Alas for assumacy"
