suppression of crime.
Prohibition
The prohibition amendment to the
Constitution requires the Congress and
the President to provide adequate laws
to prevent it's violation. 1t is my duty
to enforce such laws. For that purpose
a treaty is being negotiated with Great
Britain with respect to the right of
search of lowering vessels. To pre-
vent smuggling. the Coast Guard
should be greatly strengthened, and a
supply of swift power boats should be
provided. The major sources Of pro-
duction should be rigidly regulated.
and every effort should be made TO
suppress interstate traffic. With this
action on the part of the National
Government. and the cooperation
which is usually rendered by munich
pal and State authorities, prohibition
should be made effective. Free gov
eminent has no greater menace than
disfespect for authority and continual
violation of law. 1t is the duty of a
citizen not only to observe the law but
TO let it be known that he is opposed
to- it's violation.
The Negro
Numbered among our population are
some 100000 colored people. Under
our Constitution their rights are just
as sacred as those of any other citi-
zen. 1t is both a public and a private
duty to protect those rights. The Con-
gress ought to exercise all its powers
of prevention and punishment against
the hidcous crime of lynching. of
which the negroes arc by no means the
sole sufferers. but for which they fur
nish a majority of the victims.
Already considerable sum is ap-
propriated tn give the negroes voca-
tional training in agriculture. About
half a million dollars is recommended

 RECORDS FOR MONTH";, $37,000 OVER 1922

License collections for January broke all records with S$310GS.0a more than the amount collected dur ing the first month last year, ac- cording to figures compiled Wednes- day by F. W. Ellis as he closed the books for that period. Collections totailed sf45,S9s.65 for January, com pared with slOS,S2s.62 for January, 1922.

WALTER K. M'ADORY

Existence of surplus cash money on Alabama farms is vouched for by makers and jobbers in agricultural implements and manufacturers of nails, wire, wire fencing and other wire mill products. whose operations reflect agricultural conditions faith fully. Wholesale hardware houses report collections on old accounts good and that purchases for spring planting and soil preparation are be- ing made on farm velvet" money on hand after debts have been paid.
 Business is fine,' J.. E. Mc- Cutcheen. resident sales manager of the International Harvester com paGy. declared Wednesday. Ritming- ham warehouses of this company supply all Alabama with exception of three northern counties.
 Farmers of the state are buying more wagons than since the spring of 1920, when post-bellum prosperity was at it's apex" said Mir. Me Cutcheon. This business has Jagged for more than two years, but has again gotten back to prior maximum tonnage. Demand for farm imple- ments has gone so far beyond fall estimates that we are beginning to experience difficulty in making on- time deliveries. A
 We are making unusually large sales of motor trucks for farming purposes, trucks growing in pop ularity for farm use. Agricultural implement business is stabilized and is moving on an even keel"
