PROHIBITION’S ONWARDMARCH ANOTHER WHOLE STATE FALLS INTO LINE. ALABAMA FOLLOWS GEORGIA. riTHE grout, widespread, and conJL tinned progress of Prohibition ■in America is attracting world-wide attention. NOT ONI A UL LOCAL OPTION LAW LARGELY ADDING TO THE ALREADY WIDE \RE\ OF DISTRICTS FREE FROM THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC, BUT WHOLE STATES ARE, BY PROHIBIT ARY ENACTMENT, BANISHING HUMANITY’S GREATEST FOE FROM THEIR BORDERS. Some few months ago wo* reported that the State of Georgia had outlawed the Li(|iior Business from the whole of their territory. Amidst great rejoicings the State of Alabama has just recently followed this good example. The “Associated Prohibition Press, just to hand, says: “Alabama takes its place in the Prohibition ranks by a vote which goes even Georgia one better, THE SENATE PASSING PROHIBITION BY A POLL OF 32 TO 2, THE HOUSE 70 TO 4, A TOTAL OF 102 TO G, WHICH IS ‘GOING SOME’ EVEN IN THESE DAYS OF PROHIBITION TRIUMPHS. 'l'h demonstration at the State Capitol on the day of Prohibition’s passage will go down as one of the great events in the history of this State. Long before the doors of the Senate gallery were thrown open to the public, the halls and rotunda were crowded with ladies and children who wore white ribbons ami badges bearing the inscription, ‘Prohibition for all Alabama.’ Badges wore pinned on the coats of the legislators, and all others who were there. When the doors were thrown open there was a rush tor seats, and when the time came for calling the Senate to order, standing room was at a premium. Lieut.-Governor Gray made’no effort to stop the applause and cheering, and the senators were given a reception the like of which has never been seen here. White flowers with little cards attached with white ribbons, and hearing verses from the Bible, were distributed ■among those present. After the Senate voteTiad been announced, and it was found that only two Senators, 11a in tier and Spraggins, had voted against it, the cheering lasted for some time. As Hie Senate was adjourning, the ladies began to sing, ‘Pi ■nise God from Whom all Blessings Flow,’ and their voices could be heard all over the old historic Capitol. They sang in the Semite chamber, and then marched to the rotunda, where they sang again, as the men stood around with uncovered heads, listening.” Wo earnestly trust that the next no-license vote in this electorate will so reflect the intelligence and humanity of its people as to give cause for the same outbursts of joy as those manifested-by our American friends.
