PREJUDICE DYING AWAY.

From the Huntsville Mercury.
 The white Democrats are beginning to see through the misrepresentation of the men opposed to the new constitution. The stories about disfranchising white men, and thousand other pure fabrica- tions have been proved absolutely false
 The white men who do not clearly un- derstand the new constitution should re- member that they know just as much about it as they do about the one under which they now like. It was framed to meet the necessities of the white men, and to insure government by the white voters of Alabama. It will accomplish that purpose and will bring political peace out of discord and discontent.
 If the men who are not fully decided as to how they will vote will remember that the men who framed the new con- stitution were able, honorable and pa- triotic citizens; and that they and their children must be governed by that docu- ment in common with all the other citi- zens of Alabama, it will be easy to real ize that the framers of the constitution thought it better than the old one.

They Joked His Business.

II don't know who got up the first joke

been selling 500 sandwiches a day right
along, but pretty soon the number began
to drop and there came a day when
couldn't give one away. 1 got the best
and freshest bread and meat, but it made
no difference. The joke had gone around
and people wouldn't have EN-. I was out
SIS per day for two or three years over
those sandwiches before the tide turned
and then a fool turned 1t for me-"
In what way" was asked.
"He was a half wtted hanger on about
the place and unbeknown to me he put
up two three signs of No Sandwiches
to be Had Here Inquiries commenced to
be made, and though 1 refused for a
month to supply EN- the passengers wrote
to the president of the road, and he drove
me back into it. A fool joker killed the
trade for me, and another fool joker
brought it all back and more too Don
you make any mistake on the railroad
