SOME BOOZE ORDERED
Slvty-lour Money Orders In One
Day For Whiskey From Cairo
Postolllce.
If one should judge by the num
ber of money orders sent from the
Ciiiro postoflice for whiskey he would
be lead to believe that it takes con
siderable whiskey to Bupply the de
mand of the people of Cairo and
those living on the six rural routes
leading out from Cairo.
During the month on December
$4 ,000 worth of money orders went
from the Cairo postoflice for whis
key. In one dav 64 was used.
The Southern Express Company
also did a thriving business at the
same time for the same kind of
goods.
Another bad feature is nine tenths
of the other $1,000 went off to mail
order houses for goods that could
have been purchased from the
local merchants for the same money
and a better grade of stuff furnished
It is estimated that between 88,-
000 and $10,000 is sent away from
here annually to mail order houses
who do not contribute one cent to
help maintain the schools and
churches and courts of the county,
also drains the county of just the
amount of profits made by the local
merchants never to return. And
the local merchants will nine times
out of ten sell a better article for
the same money.
THE DEM OF
J
New Governor Inaugurated and
Wants Liquor Interests and
Politics Divorced.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 16—Em
met O’Neal of Florence, Ala., Ala
bama's thirty-fourth Governor aqd
ninth native son to hold that office,
was sworn in this afternoon on a
platform near the state house.
In his inaugural address to the
Legislature today, Gov. O’Neal de
clared Alabama’s prohibition laws
to be an invasion bf individual
ights and constitutional guarantees
and branded the attempt to insert a
prohibition clause in the state con
stitution as an offspring of intoler
ance and bigotry. He proclaimed
prohibition a failure and-recom
mended a general local- option law.
He advocated a divorce between
the liquor interests and politics and
said it could be accomplished by the
creation of an excise.commission,
vested with power to control liquor
traffic.
Gov. Braxton Bragg Comer, in
relinquishing the office to Governor
O’Neal, took a parting 9bot at con
porate interests. He said:
“Both in Congress and before the
federal courts at Washington there
is now going on a gigantic struggle
to free the government and the peo
ple from the grasp of the strongest
combination of allied interests ever
formed. Never has there been such
an insurrection against their selfish
rule. The states from the extreme
East to" the extreme West, whether
Republican or Democratic, are
aroused as never before.”
Rev. L. M. Suttori Gone to His
Reward.
Rev. L. M. Sutton, one of the
oldest and best beloved of the minis
ters-of ttie Methodist Church in
South Georgia, died January the
16th, at the home of his son in Live
Oak, Fla. His body was brought
to Thoniasyille, and was carried
thence to the old Spring Hill cem
etery where it was buried. The
funeral services were conducted by
Rev. George Matthews, pastor of the
Thomasville Methodist Church. It
was at old Spring Hill church that
Brother Sutton lived and did some
®f his best work and it was here that
the old saint wished to be buried
Many will read this note of the
passing away of this venerable gen
tleman with a tinge of Badness. He
was a, father in Israel to many. Few
have labored more earnestly for the
salvation of his fellows than “Fat
her Sutton.”
He left many monuments to his
consecration to Christ in the form
•f churches erected almost entirely
through his seal and energy. To
them he always contributed gener
®uely of his means which were by
no means large. Among these
..•hurches are Recovery and Sutton’s
chapel, both in Decatur County,
besides several in this and in Miller
and in other counties. Brother
Sutton was an occasional visitor to
Cairo and its vicinity. His last trip
was to attend the District Confer
ence. He was, then very deaf and
had about lost his voice, but his face
was aglow with the light of heaven
and bis heart filled'to overflowing
with the peace and joy of God.
Farewell sweet spirit andj conse
crated follower of your Lord 1 You
wrought long’ and faithfully in the
service of your Master and now you
are at rest! And you rest well, for
you rest in Jesus.
Look at your letter heads, bill
heads, statements and envelopes
and uon’t wait until you have
used the last one before you give
order the printers need time to
get them out.

Gold Dust For The Hair
New York correspondoce Kansas City
Star. •
George Jay Gould's daughter
Vivien and others of thd younger
set-have adopted and old fashion
for their more piquant dances
that of powdering thsir hair with
gold dust. Hundreds of tiny
spangles of the most vivid yellow
are sprinkled over the coiffure,
by means oi: a divice that 5 distri
butes them evenly, but oftener
in irregular handfuls, hightening
the effect.
The glitter that gold dust lends
to head-dresses is not only be-
wildereing, biitbeutiful. Nor is
it restricted to women whose hair
is golden, brown or black. Those
whose heads are crowned with
gray or white find the new whim
becoming. Indeed, snowy locks
powdered with gold are attrac
tive in the extreme—a little start
ling, it may be, but illustrative
of the fact that in this enlighten
ed age no woman need really
grow old.
