L'an II be said that rondlHflBI today are not vastly superior to the conditions of two years ago, when whiskey was sold in more places in Montgomery than meat and flour, and when there was a general demoralisation-ot-merals and respect for the law? "The Atjvertiser. while deploring the fact that mankind in populous cities insists upon having the privilege of buying and using intoxicating liquors, prefers the orddrlv rcaulatlon of the business, rather than unrestricted license in its conduct. We are convinced that Montgomery today is more orderly, more law abiding, and that it has a healthier and finer moral sense than at any time in the past flfty years. We are convinced, too, that*the most lawless, the most demoralizing, the most immoral period Montgomery ever had was in the period during which the so-called state-wide prohibition law was on the books, only to be ,openly defied In the larger cities 'of the State. "There are, we believe, flfty-two licenses issued In Montgomery " for the legals&k^ of intoxicating liquors, if all the wholesale, hotel and club licenses are added to the licensee is aed~ oilu for each' I.OW H ptffri Iatlon of the city. .

It.?The volcano .of CoHma broke iato violent eruption last night. Thousands of people are fleeing from the villages and ranches in the vicinity. It is believed that there has been some loss of life in the remoter sct tlementa. . zHnhflreds oT refugees arrived in -puscd uf Uua caia, which had -been picked up on a aiding at a nearby village. The fleeing people had found it necessary to shovel away a quantity of volcanic sand before they were able to move the cars, .and for many mtlea along the way here the train bad to l^e stopped frequently to .clear the track of debrla. Very little lava was ejected from the crater, which, however, emitted vast quantities of emoke and sand, while suffocating gases formed an unusual feature of the eruption. A gale was blowing from the northwest and this probably saved many of the Inhabitants M the surrounding districts. as it caused the flying sand and deadly gases to pssB over their heads.

The campaign against the blind tigers that tried to hold over from prohibition times has "been successful. Scores of the keepers of these places have b<jpn convicted and forced out of the business.
