Summary:This cartoon depicts two vultures labeled "Brewers" and "Distillers" around a skeleton that represents Alabama. In the background an army is advancing, carrying the state flag and a banner labeled "People of Alabama." Several people on the left, who are labeled with the names of newspapers in the state ("Age Herald," "Adv.," and "Mobile Register"), are reprimanding the soldiers: "Go on back! You will ruin business"; "Halt there you fools will scare the birds"; "O! If I only knew which would whip"; "It's time to stop all this agitation."
