A pRoHIBITIoNIsrvs REPLY


 (The recent circular letter sent out by Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superintend- ent of the Anti-Saloon League of Ala bama, calling upon prohibitionists to write Messrs. Weakley and Musgrove. stating frankly their views as to the advisability of one of them retiring from the senatorial race. is attracting considerable attention. Following is a copy of letter written in reply to the Lawrence circular by Mir. W. c. Mcclure of Demopolis, a prohibition ist):
 ''Demopolis, Ala. March 3, 1920 MT. Brooks Lawrence. Superintendent
 Alabama Anti-Saloon League, Bir- mingham, Ala:
 Dear Sir: I beg to acknowledge your circular letter of February 27, and to respectfully submit the following reply:
 You begin by saying. Dear Friend:, Allow me to suggest to you that upon the subject matter of your letter, or appeal, I am inclined to regard such familiarity as not only presumptious, but rather dangerous. As matter of fact, l am your friend in the cause of Anti-Saloon League, but in the mattel of politics--the very important matter of electing a United States senator---I doubt seriously if we can be or should be friends.
 Rather than follow your suggestion that I write MT. Musgrove and Judge WeaSley and suggest to them that they agree among themselves or have some of their friends agree, for one of them 70 drop out of the race in favor of the other and thus present so much better chance to defeat Underwood I had much rather ask both of them to retire and make MT. Underwood's election unani- nous.
 ,'Is there no other issue involved but ! the cause of prohibition? Is the liquor traffic not dead? And is it good policy | for the Anti-Saloon League to continue sending the knife to the hilt in old
  Have the American people ever stood for such thing? Have the people of Alabama who are friends and sup porters of the. Anti-Saloon League be- come so narrow minded in this the most critical of all times as to things both national and international that any respectable number of them are going to make any such an appeal to Musgrove and Weakley? Of course, there are narrow people under the ban ner of all good and noble causes, but 1t would seem to me to be- the better part of good Judgment to keep all rat tie brains quiet after the victory is won rather than to take risks of spoil 1 ing the whole thing.
 "1n declining to make any such sug- gestion to Messrs. Musgrove and Weak l ley as you ask I feel that l am sub- serving the cause of genuine patriot ism. Moreover, in my overwhelming preference for MT. Underwood to re- main in the Senate I catch at this hour l a fresh vision of Bankheads memory l and realize more than ever the ever 1 lasting need of his example and teach l ings through life. He was a real cham p:on of common sense-pure and un- | adultered in all tthings-religion pusi. ness and politics included. We need MT. Underwood in the Senate now more than ever. Yours respectfully,
 ''W. c. McCLURE."

 If the advocates of "woman's rights" literally received what they ask for, the triumphant procession of murderesses through the courts of the United States would end. Courts and uplifters would no longer be blinded by mawkish sentimentality. There Is a prejudice as old as the race against executing a woman, but when flagrantly guilty they would at least be sent to prison for long term, instead of being petted and wept over and quickly set free.

They were detected in the act and arrested on the spot but liberated on bond to appear at city court Tuesday morning. according to the officers. The Auburn students. being in uni- form and under the discipline of a Urited States army officer Mayor Gift held that the civil authorities had no jurisdiction in the case, and when the students were released from bond without trial the police walked out on strike. The resigning officers are Chief L. w. Gregory, Robert McCamie and Hosie Vaughn.
 shortly after the walkout of the disgruntled officers a special council meeting was held and Deputy Sheriff F. w. Green was elected chief of po- Ice with power to select his own staff of assistants.
 The action of the officers demand ing trial of the students on the charge on which they had been ar rested, created quite a stir in the city for a while and Mayor Gift was freely criticised by some for not standing by his officers in the discharge of their duty. while, on the other hand, expressions were heard commenting the mayor for the course he had taken and exonerating him from all cen sure.

mingham, Opelika, Selma, Cordele, De catur and Huntsville. In the following statement by MT. Wilson, just what will be accomplished in those several places, as well as elsewhere through out the United States, is detailed:
 Cotton men are nearly unanimous in saying that, with the development of the plans of the warehouse and discount corporations, a revolution will be ef- fected in the handling of cotton.
 Under the plan the necessity for crowding the handling season into three or four months will be overcome. It will also be a, god-send to the small banks of the south with whom it is all ways difficult to meet the quick re- quirements of the moving season.
 "The farmer will be benefited by be- ing able to carry his cotton over a longer period The grower or shipper when storing cotton will get receipt that will be excellent collateral Such a receipt, being negotiable and guaran- teeing weight, can be converted into cash at any time or at any place. Spot cotton can be dealt in by persons en- tirely unknown to each other and re- jections will cease. The producer will have everything to gain and nothing to
