IRON MOUNTAIN WRECK C0ST8 LIVES OF FIVE.

Many Hurt in Wreck. Danbury, Conn., Nov. 4.—In a serious wreck which 1* reported to have oc curred early this morning near Red ding on the Berkshire division of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad a number of persons were In. Jured. but no fatalities were reported. Several of the Injured have been brought here and are now In the hoe- pits). Spccl.,1 to The «>-ori. Huntsville, Ala.. Nov. 4.—W. A. Or. man. a prominent business man of gage In new business to moving away to a strange town. So uncertain Is the liquor business In the South that many dealers believe ft to their Interest to go to work at some thing else. When Birmingham, long considered a stronghold of the bar room, went dry shortly after the pro hibition law was passed In Georgia, and while the Anti-Saloon League.was announcing that Montgomery. Mobile and Chattanooga would be attacked, there was some commotion in the ranks of the liquor dealers. Three or four of the larger Atlanta firms have already decided to go away, hut many of the smaller dealers have decided to stay, others are uncertain find still others will leave their fami lies here permanently, although thoy will engage In business In other cities. "We luive stock ami fixtures worth *12.000." said the head of ono of the big Arms, "or we would not leave. If we can si value we will remain and open up a big men's furnishing and ahoe store." Another liquor dealer who has saved about *10,000 expects to Invest it In some Atlanta business, although at first he Intended to go to Chattanooga. Few liquor men will take their fam ilies away with them. It Is stated. Many own homes, and one said: "Atlanta or the South doesn’t seem to be much of a place to carry on the liquor business, but this la a mighty * ood town to lire In and raise chll- ren.” Each city that Joins the prohibition ranks will mean Just that many more liquor men will remain In Atlanta to engage In other buslnese. For the moet part, they say frankly that the oncom ing prohibition wave leaves little chance for a good Investment In a sa loon anywhere In the Southern states.
