TWO TO ONE FAVORITE
JELKs MEN LAYING MONEY ON
THEIR CANDIDATE.
Effort to Find Johnston Cash in
Montgomery County Unavailing.
General Harrison to Speak
Tonight at McDonald's.

Betting in Montgomery on the result of
the primary next Monday shows that the
jerks men believe their candidate is a two
to one favorite over his opponent.
Bets Of two to one that the Governor
will be nominated are freely offered each
day but there are no takers.
The odds on Jelks winning in Montgom-
cry County are even greater. A number
to bet three to one that he will receive
a majority in this County. At these fig
ures no Johnston men with money to bet
have come forward.
A well known business man has contn
ually offered these odds. His friends
have tried to secure wagers for him at
two to one ON the result in the State and
three to one on the County, but their
efforts have been unaTailing. He said
yesterday that he would make the odds
500 to so Just to get a bet on the result
in the State. The scarcity of Johnston
money is one of the marked features of
the campaign betting.
Another feature that has attracted gen.
eral attention is the fact that the john
ston supporters do not make definite
claims They simply say that Johnston
will carry the State, but do not point out
where his majorities are coming from.
AS to Montgomery County they content
themselves with saying that a big sur
prise Is in store for the Jelks men. They
claim that the silent vote, the mass of
voters who have not expressed them
count they claim the County will be in
the Johnston column by a small majority.
On the other hand the Jelks men ex-
pi ess absolute confidence that the County
will be for Jelks by large majority. His
majority has in fact, been estimated at
from $50 to 1.5OO. They do not qualify it
by saying that the majority depends up
on the action of any class of voters. They
say that the situation in the County has
been most thor oughly and carefully gone
over and the question that will be decid-
ed will be only one of the size of the
felix's majority. Both sides are hard at
work.
General George p. Harrison OF Opelika,
will speak tonight at McDonald's Thea
tire in the interest of Ex-Governor John
ston.
Manager Bibb Graves of the Johnston
forces In Montgomery County, said last
night that General Harrison would reach
the city this morning at II o'clock and
that he would be met at the depot by a
Committee of Johnston men.
1t has not yet been decided who will
preside at tonights meeting. The speak
Ing will begin at $50 o'clock.

SECOND DAY OF DOTS
MANY LETTERS RECEIVED IN
YESTERDAYS MAIL.
Problem Editor Explains Rules as to
Distribution of Prizes-Elephant
Dots Begin Next
Sunday.

The second day of the Dot contest was
not as lively as the first. but many hun
dreds of estimates reached the Problem
Editor during yesterday.
Each mail brought in many letters and
numerous city readers brought their es-
Inmates in person.
A contestant In Marion writes for infor-
nation as follows:
please explain either by letter or
in the columns of your paper whether
one person may receive more than one
prize on each problem. For instance, if
I send in four correct estimates and it
reaches you as number 26, and four more
which reach you as SO, will i get prizes
rs and SO or just one prize? Please explain
this"
Not more than one prize on each list
will be awarded to one person. but it is
possible for one person to win four prizes
one from each list.
The Advertisers advice to counters was
to count and keep cool. but here is one
who does not seem to take kindly to this
suggestion:
'"Tuskegee, Ala, Aug. 10.
DOT Editor:-How can you suggest
those 'pesky dots these August days!
However, find enclosed for four guesses'
and be sure and send the prize-to-me"
Hot weather or no hot weather, he
counted them. How accurate he was can
not be told just yet.
Next Sunday will witness the begin
ming of Problem No. 2. This will be an
interesting chart as there are dots large
enough to make an elephant, consequent
ly they are called the Elephant Dots.
The prizes offered for this chart are
among the best on the entire list and with
the long time intervening between the
publication of the chart and the opening
of the contest for receiving estimates
should enable everyone to get them
counted correctly.
If you are not sure of your first count.
go over them again. You will never be
too late to do good. Prizes, and good ones
TOO will be won upon estimates that will
be filed on the last day. Such was the case
in both the Dot and Figure contests here
tofore conducted by The Advertiser and
the contestants themselves were sur
prised that tAeS, should have won prize
at such a late date.
This only goes to prove that this con-
test is just as good for one as for an
other

MAY LEAVE THE STATE
PERMISSION TO COMPANIES CO.
ING TO SAVANNAH.
Dothan, Mobile and Birmingham
Will Send Teams to Participate
in Interstate Shooting Con-
test on August rs.

Adjutant General w. w. Brandon of the
Alabama National Guard, yesterday is
sued an order granting permission to all
rife teams of the Guard which will COM
pete in the shooting contest in Savannah,
Ga, on August Is. to be absent from the
State during the shoot.
The order is as follows:
August q, 1902
General Order No Q.
1.-The following order is published for
the information and guidance of all con-
cerned
II. All rife teams organized from and
representing the Alabama National
Guard, desiring to participate in the In
terstate Rifle Shoot to be held in Savan-
nah, Ga, are hereby granted permission
to be absent from the State from Au-
gust Is, to 80. 1902
by command of the Governor:
wv. w. Brandon,
"Adjutant General"
Three teams and perhaps four from the
Alabama National Guard, will compete
in the Interstate Rifle Shoot.
The End Infantry will not be represented
at the Savannah shoot. 1t was said yes
terday at the Adjutant Generals Office
that Birmingham would send team to
represent the 3rd Infantry, and that two
teams representing the LIST Infantry, one
from Mobile and one from Dothan, would
be sent. 1t is said that Troy may also
send team of sharpshooters. although
nothing definite has been decided by the
company at that place.
The team which will go from Dothan
made the best record in the summer en-
campment of any company of the Ala
bama National Guard.
The visiting soldiers will be provided
with tents and quarters on the grounds
at Savannah but they are expected to fur
nish their subsistence.
The two Montgomery Infantry compa-
MES at one time contemplated sending
teams to Savannah. but it was finally de-
cided to wait until next year when the
sharpshooters of Montgomery will have
had more practice.

JOHNSTON AT EVERGREEN.
Same Speech He Has Delivered All
Over the State.

SVC1 ShC 0tNbOs
Evergreen, Aug. H.-(SpeciaD- Eek Gov
ernor Johnston spoke here yesterday. de-
livering the same speech he has made
from every platform since the campaign
began. His subject was himself and the
new Constitution. He said there were
some things in the Constitution he liked
and some things he did NOT like.
He did not mention anything that suit
ed him and the only fault he referred to
was the poll tax qualification. His refer
ences to the Constitution were with sneers
he would take the baby and care for it,
feed and clothe it and try to make a
healthy child of it.
His speech was devoted chiefly to MAX
ing fun of the Constitution and praising
himself. He recommended himself very
highly for Governor During his address
quite a number of people left the build
as he did not come up to what some Of
the citizens who never heard him eX-
pected he would do.
During the speech he touched on the
amount of funds expended during the
Jelks administration, Hon. j. f. Jones,
representative in the last Legislature,
asked the Ex-Governor a few questions
ture by Governor Jelks concerning GER
tain things he was blaming jerks for
and he had to virtually say they We're
true.
The Johnston men are claiming Cone
cub by 300 majority for Johnston on next
Monday bat the supporters of jerks have
every reason to believe from reports in

next Monday Jelks will carry COnecuh
by over 700 majority and that Johnston
will be buried.
