HEFLIN IN OPELIKA.
Splendid Speech Made by Chambers
 County Orator.

orelika. Get. 36 6-(SpeciaD-Ho J. T. Hetiin of Chambers county made mag nifioent spe ech here today to a large and enthusiastic audience in favor of the rat replete with wit, fact, reason, logic and argument. It was one of the finest speeches ever delivered in Opelika and was to ,ns with great Ss duty in this momentous contest with the African. He explained in a satisfactory manner and demonstrated conclusively that m white man would be disfranchis- ed by the new Constitution.
 Men who heard Stallingss speech here a short time ago and Hefin today say that there Is no comparison between the two men in bility and Oratory. MT. Stallings must. however. be given credit for knowing that he would be out matched in a debate with Hefiin Hon. Lum Duke Of Opelika introduced the speaker in a graceful and eloquent mai ner

 The case of the State vs. Cowley con- stunned the entire day yesterday and the arguments were not concluded until l2 o'clo K last night. Every inch of ground was contested from the beginning to tho end. The court house was crowded all day and great interest was manifested in the trial throughout This morning Judge Evans in an able and lucid manner de- livered the charge to the jury which retired at Il a. m. and is still out.
 Immediately after the jury retired the case of the State vs. Professor c. H: Sparks was called. Both sides announced ready and the jury in now being drawn. Great interest is also manifested in this case

went up and many others went with them. Tomorrow there will be large delegation. The extra train from Brew ton. which passes here at 6:S0, Is great convenience to the people all along the line. and it is generally crowded.
 There seems to be scarcely doubt put that the county will give majority for ratification of the new Constitution. Re- ports are coming in from every beat that the people are changing and with fair count the county will go all right. Next week every beat will be visited by speak CTS The opposition has had no speakers in the county and with the exception Of the speech made at this place by ex-Con- gressman Stallings. no one has attempted to present the other side.
 The farmers say that nearly all the cot- ton has been gathered from the fields, ex- cept in a few neighborhoods. A great deal has not yet been ginned. Owing to the exceedingly dry fall, the cane crop is the county is not as good as usual, and but little of the new crop of syrup has been on the market.

LoMAx AT TUSCALOOSA.
Montgomerian Speaks in Favor of the
 New Constitution.

New Constitution.
 Tuscaloosa, Oct. 30-(Special )-Hon. Tennent Lomax of Montgomery addressed q crowded court house this morning at Il O clock on the subject of the new Consti- tuition. He was introduced to the large audience by Hon. Henry A. Jones and was heartily applauded when he arose to speak MT. Lomax riddled the contention of the opposition that the convention was controlled by corporate influences, and showed that there was absolutely no lead CT in the convention. After reviewing the conditions which surrounded the making of the Constitution of 1875, MT. Lomax dealt with Nthe new fundamental instrument of the State which has been submitted to the people of Alabama to be adopted or rejected. MT. Lomax re- ferred to the fact that the new Constitu- tion does not recognize the Fifteenth Amendment but disfranchses a largS majority of the negroes without affecting the status of the white voters who were pledged that they should not be deprived of the right to vote. His condemnation of Theodore Roosevelt as a citizen for having Booker Washington to dine with him was met with hearty applause.
 Mir. Lomax showed that no white man would be disfranchised, but the negro will be eliminated as a political factor. The good character clause was explained. and then the permanent plan of the suffrage cl~uee was discussed and thoroughly ex- plained. The question of registration and registrars was taken sup and the objec- tions made thereto answered by MT. Iomax, who stated that in a republican form of government 1t is absolutely neg essary to trust some one.
 After delineating the horrible state of affairs that has existed under the new Constitution with reference to election frauds, the speaker told of the better era that might be expected under the pro-

there Is no telling just now to what ex- tent the work may be carried.
 The contract for the erection of the Baldwin County Bank at Bay Minette was let yesterday by It's proposed Presi- dent. J. D. Hand. and work will begin immediately The work on the new s4.oo0 public school building has been begun and will be rushed to completion. Five hundred dollers' worth of seats of the best quality have already arrived to place in the building and with corps of good teachers it Is the intention of Bay Minette citizens to soon have one of the best schools in the State. Three new stores are being built, together with a number of new residences. There Is not vacant residence in the town and has not been for several months.
 The postoffice and railroad offices both tend to show that business has increased in the past twelve months more than 100 per cent.
 It is said that the grand jury now in session here will investigate the hanging in eff1gy of Hon. George H. Hoyle of Daphne last spring, and that if properly investigated, some startling disclosures will be made as to the guilty persons.
