HORNE & CO. NORFOLK, VA., Sept 19.—(Spec ial.)—Dixie Is to go dry, and thus set on ment. an example that will soon be follow ed by the rest of the country. This Is tho dictum of the distin guished temperance exponents who will celebrate National Temperance day at the Jamestown Exposition to morrow, following the convention of the National Anti-Saloon league, which has been in session here during the week. The great exposition auditorium will be filled with the prohibition hosts when the meeting Is called to order, and the milk white flag much In evidence. A ‘call of states" Is to be the fea ture of the day, delegates from all sections telling of their victories over the rum demon. The greatest enthusiasm will be manifested as speaker after speaker tells briefly of battles fought and won in the cause of temperance. Ap parently the southern states are now leading in the movement, and it will be freely predicted that in the course of a few years there will be a new 'solid south”—solid for the absolute prohibition of the manufacture sale of any kind of alcoholic bever ages. Has An Economic Basis. On the face of it this change in southern sentiment Is one of the most amazing ethical movements ever wit nessed, but thoughtful adherents of the cause admit that it Is not alto gether due to the agitation of tem perance people, but has a sound economic basis. The labor of negroes Is necessary to the prosperity of the South, and It has been proven to the satisfaction of the Southern people that liquor is largely responsible for the shlftless-' ness, laziness and crime of the black race. The race riots In Atlanta, or iginating In the low groggerles, did much to bring about the passage of the Georgia prohibition law, which becomes effective on ’January 1 next 'Am I my brother's keeper?" has been answered with an affirmative by the white citizens of many southern states. In other commonwealths of Dixie the temperance hosts are in the as cendant. Kentucky, once the strong hold of the liquor business, Is rapid ly being "reformed.” More than 80 per cent, of Texas Is said to be cov ered by prohibition laws. Liquor has been driven from every part of Ten nessee except the big cities. Most sections of Mississippi are dry as a bone. Alabama Is likely to soon Join the prohibition ranks. North Caro lina’s next legislature will consider prohibition law. Scores of Virgin ia counties and towns have voted out rum. South Carolina, after much experiment in the regulation of the sale of liquor. Is Bald to be ripe for the prohibitionists' picking. Liquor has been driven from all but the urban districts of Missouri. Delegates from the West and North, while not able to report so much progress, are exceedingly hope ful, and declare that within a decade the death knell of the liquor busi ness will be sounded throughout the land. EATONTON, GA„ Sept 21.—(Spec ial)—The sensational trial of the Jones brothers, Porter and Albert Jones, for the murder of Robert Adams, a prominent and highly res pected fartner of this county, was con cluded this afternoon when the Jury returned a verdict of guilty with rec ommendation to mercy, which con signs the young men to life lmprls- The murder was an atro cious crime, Mr. Adams being shot down in his field while at work.

Hon. Thmoas G. Hudson, of the state department of agriculture, came down to Amerlcus yesterday to spend n day nt his home here.. Commission er Hudson, In' discussing the cotton crop- prospect In the state, said yes terday that he had no reason to change his estimate of 1,500,000 bales, which he made several weeks ago after having gone carefully over the greater part of the state. And this, too, after the “hot winds" had wrought such fearful havoc with the crop. In middle and north Geor gia, Mr. Hudson says, .the crop pros pect Is not nearly ao good as here in- south Georgia, and It has deteriorated here greatly within the past month. Mr. Hudson feels safe In putting his estimate at 1,600,000 bales, or 1,600,- 000 at the very extreme figure as the result of late frost. Georgia's great est yield In history was the bumper crop of two years ago, and even then the total did not go beyond 1,900,- 000 bales.

HIxon represented Martin.
