LAWRENCE IN LINE
w. T. Lowe Says County VIII Vote to
 Ratlfy Constitution.

Huntsville, September 22.-(Speciai)- Hon. W. T. Lowe. a member of tine con stitutional convention and chairman of the Lawrence County Democratic Execu- tive Committee, says that Lawrence County will give a big majority for the ratification of the new constitution. Speaking of the prospects over the State, MT. Lowe said:
 'I feel. confident that the new consti- tuition will be ratified by the people. It seems to me that the entire opposition that has developed among the Democrats of the State has emanated from those who arc disappointed and embit tered on account of not having achieved political aspirations. A comparison of the two documents will disclose the fact that the new constitution Is an up-to-date in- strument thoroughly in consonanee with the present needs and demands of our State, The State needs rest from the methods that have been resorted to in order to preserve white supremacy The people now have an opportunity to rid themselves of the curse of negro suffrage, and I believe that they will forever free themselves from this incubus. l believe that If we fail to ratify this constitution the negroes will grow intolerable gaining strength and confidence from our de- feat, and that a period of turbulance will follow"
 Jackson County, according to State Sen ator Bostick, who was in this city last night, will return a majority against the constitution. There are few negroes in that county and the white voters have not experienced the disadvantages of ne- gro suffrage as have the people of other counties.

LUCIFER MATCHES.
Invented BY German Convict ii )
Prison Cell.

L = 81
According to q German paper, the
inventor Of lueifer matches was po-
litieal prisoner, who perfected his idea
IN 1888 within the walls Of state
prison.
kamlnerer was a native Of Lud-
swigsburg, and when sentenced TO SIX
months imprisonment at Hohenas-
s5erg, he was fortunate enough I'd at
tract the notice and To gain The favor
Of an old officer in charge Of the pris-
On, who, finding he was studying
! chemistry, allowed him 70 arrange !
small laboratory IN his cell.
Kammerer had been engaged IN
researches with q view Of improving
the defective sleeping system, accord
ing to which splinters Of wood, with
sulphur at the ends, were dipped into
chemical fluid in order to produce
q fame. If the fiuid was fresh, the
result was satisfactory; but, as il lost
its virtues after time, there was no
general disposition TO discontinue the
old-fashioned system of using flint and
steel.
After many failures, Kammerer be-
gan to experiment with phosphorus,
and had almost completed his term
Of imprisonment when be discovered
the right mixture and kindled a
match BY rubbing it against the walls.
of his cell.
On coming out Of prison, he com
meneed the manufacture of matches.
Unfortunately, the absence off patent
law prevented his right from being se-.
cured, and on Austrian and other
chemists analyzing the composition,
limitations speedily made their ap-
pearance.
IN 1885 the German states prohlb-
tied the use Of these matches, consid-
ering them dangerous. When they
were made in England, and sent to
the continent, these regulations were
Withdrawn, but too late TO be of any
benefit to the inventor, who died in
the madhouse Of his native town IN
1856 Golden DAYS.

the close Of q profitable and pleasant
season All we're jolly and glad At
the prospect of " speedy d return
TO their homes in the metropolis. In
the smoking compartment many fun
ny experiences were recounted by the
male members OF the company The
one which struck me as most amusing
was told by a German comedian, and
was as follows:
Some years ago ! happened to be
in New Rochelle, N. II, when 1nelo-
dramatic play was given its first pro-
dnction. Among the other characters
ii the cast were two young men, whose
\ =
parts consisted in standing, as the
curtain rose on the second act, at OPP
posite sides Of the stage. After mo
nlent's hesitation they were to rush
forward to the center Of the stage,
engage in q sort Of wrestling bout and
then retreat to their original places.
At this junctrre another player was
to come on, rush over and stab one
of the youths, and then advance to
the other at the opposite side Of the
stage, Whereupon the latter vas To

he had saved his life, while the un-

pose that the ludicrous mistake made

be said Of the play in its entirety
