William Rollins, William Day, O. Blue, J. Mitchell, W. Mullens, D. S.
Adams, I. Davis, John Smith, and E. M. Burkett.
Dr. A. J. Stokes, of Montgomery, has for several years been their
moderator. In the session of 1891 they rejected the temperance report;
but this year (1893) they vote by a large majority in favor of it. A
few, however, claim that they “have a right” to use alcohol if they
