THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. PEOPLE REJOICE OVER PASSAGE OF WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 20. Bill Will Go Into Effect in Year From Coming January. Spwlal to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 20.—Ala bama goes dry January 1, 1909. The prohibitionists have captured the state and the legislature following the wishes of their constituents, have voted for the Carmichael bill, making the state prohibition. The original bill called for a state prohibition on October 1908, but it was agreed that the bill should be amended so as to go Into ef' feet January 1, 1909. By this agree mint the opposing side was not to fight several other prohibition measures which are to come up looking to the enforcement of the law. However, this does not Include the Camlchael bill In reference to the selling of liquor by clubs, this bill to be fought out on Its own merits. The prohibitionists, had the fight won without the agreement, but thought It best to have It unanimous because It would be better In enforc lng the law. Long before the doors of the senate gallery were thrown open to the pub lie the halls and rotunda wero crowd ed with ladles and children who wore white ribbons and badges bearing the Inscription "Prohibition for ALL Ala bama." Badges were pinned on the coats of the senators and members of the legislators and all others who were there. When the doors were thrown open there was a rush for seats and when the time came for calling the senate to order standing room was at a premium. Lieut. Gov. Gray made no effort to stop the applause and cheer lng and the senators wore given i reception the liko of which has novor. been seen here. White flowers with little cards attached with white rib bons and bearing verses from the Bible were distributed among those present. Some Opposition. Senator Teasley of Montgomery, of Montgomery, made objection nt first to the lobby being occupied saying that It would be impossible for the senators to hear the discussion, but Governor Gray overruled his motion and Senator Teasley did not Insist. Senator Reese stated that he did not think It right that tho ladles should be allowed In the lobby, saying that It was unheard The strongest fight mado against the bill was by the citizens of Mobile. This county gets about $81,000 a year from saloon licenses and all tills goes to the public schools and ns a result Mobile has one of the best Bchool systems In the state. However. It Is the only county In the state which does not pay any liquor license Into the state treas ury. all of It remaining at home. As a result of It affecting the schools of Mobile, many ladles of that place took up the light against putting It out on such n short notlco and It was finally agreed to give them until January 1, 1909. Swept the Entire State. The prohibition wave, which has swept Alabama like wildfire, has grown up In a very short time. When- the candidates for the last legislature be gan to announce for office they wore confronted with a petition from the Anti-Saloon League of Alabama ask ing them to support local option. Tho members pledged themselves to sup port the bill, and this Is what started the prohibition movement. After the local option bill pasted the counties be gan to call elections nnd tho people toted so largely against whisky that when the extra session was called there was an almost united demand for a state prohibition measure. Tho leg islators could not Ignore It anJ when It was announced that Speaker Car michael of the house would Introduce the bill and that Lieutenant Governor Gray and Governor Comer were pro hibitionists. thero was rejoicing over the entire state. There was a strong effort made by thoso opposed to pro htbltion to capture enough senators to keep the prohibitionists from having the necessary two-thirds vote. This lenewed tho efforts of the prohibition ists and petition nfter petition, letter sfter letter and telegram after telegram come pouring Into the senate to the members from their constituents urg ing them to vote for prohibition. This work soon began to tell, and It wns an nounced a few days ago that tho pro hibitionists had won the fight. Tho whisky men then began to try and se cure a compromise. This does not affect those counties which have already voted out whisky, sod Jefferson county and Birmingham will have to go dry on January!' 1908. Women Take Active Part. The work of the women of the state for prohibition did more, perhaps, to carry It than did any other thing. The women rallied to Its support from every section of Alabama, and when It was given out definitely when the bill was to be called up for passage, they came to Montgomery In large delegations. After the vote had been announced and It was found that only two sena tors. Hamner and Spragglns, had voted against It, the ctuering lasted for some time.

D„ and George W. Fryatt, of Grafton, N. D., Atlanta Is the place where their romance ends and the "they lived happy ever after" part begins.
