EAST LAKE RALLY
Great Gathering of Senator Morgan's
 Friends Friday Night

The John Tyler Morgan club of East Lake is making extensive preparations to entertain the large assemblage of the se- n:or senator's political supporters who will gather in Hunts hall, College station, Fri day night. The campaign committee have engaged this large hall for the reason that at least 800 voters are expected to be pres ent.
 Chairman Henry R. Dfl, of the local central Morgan committee, has received many letters from Senator Morgan's
 friends over the county signfying the wri- ters' intentions of lending aid to the Nor gan rally Friday night at East Lake-from Bessemer, Jonesboro, Pratt City, Ensley, North Birmingham and even Brookside and Blossbung, nave these letters come.
 Woodlawn has promised not less than one hundred, and Avondale will probably fur nish like number. It Is confidently ex-
 pected that the city will contribute a con-
 tingent as large, if not larger, than that
 of these two suburbs combined
 East Lake will, without doubt, turn out
 to the extent of 15O to 200 thus making a conservatively estimated attendance of coo
 to $50, including those from Blossburg, Ressemer and other distant places
 This gathering is to be the iniatory rally for Jefferson county of the Morgan forces, and besides, Captain Frank s. White, state leader, there will be other speakers of lbt- tie less prominence. including Col. I. C. Brown and Capt. Frank P. O'Brien and others.
 The committee selected by the East Lake organization to enlist the active aid of any and all democrats has met with almost unexpected encouragement to have begun political agitation so early in the season.

campaign committee. gave TO the
Associated Press tonight the fol-
lowing statement In regard to the
next house. according to Republic
an expectations:
The congressional campaign has
reached a point where the only
question Is the sixe OF the Repub-
lfcan majority In tho statement
given TO the press on the 18th,
, said the Republican membership
would not be less than ISI This
number / considered at the time
was sure beyond anv req sonabIe
doubt. Since then conditions have
continued to improve. The Croker
Jones advice to the Democrats sug-
gesting fraud by the Republicans
has done us much good. for no one
can point to single instance where
Republican member was elected
by fraud. either In the votes cast or
In the count after they were cast.
while the majority Of the Demo-
cratic representation In the house
comes n'om ufstricts where tho Re-
publican vote IN driven from the
polls by the shotgun. or II In any
cases u IL cast. II is counted for
the Democratic candidate, and the
will OF the people defeated. This
, cry OF wolf coming from the party
that stands sponsor for fraud OF
, the worst type VIII be resented at
the polls. And have every rea-
, son 20 believe that fully 200 Repub-
licans Will be elected to the Fifty

Supreme Court Holds That StookmeG
Must Pay Damages.

Helena, Mont, July 16.-The supreme
court today affirmed the decision Of the
lower court in the case Of Bert Monroe
against Henry Cannon, an action to re-
cover damages for grazing sheep upon Mon
rur's lands near Cascade. Monroe secured
rigment for S3,5OO. Cannon appealed,
alleging that the action could not lie, as
Monroe did not have the land fenced. The
supreme court holds that, while damages
might not lie Il the grass had been ga aten 10y
uniupl- running at large upon the land
and not hcrded. there Was ground for dam
ages in this ease, whore sheep we're herded
upon tbe property. III the appellant is
correct, says the court, 'nu man whose
field, posture ur garden is not enclosed by
