STATE TEACHERS TO MEET

Montgomery. December 14-(special.)- Mrs. Carrie Nation, who iss pending a few days in the city, paid visit to Governor Conner to ask that he do all he can to have the government stop issuing license for selling liquors of any kind.

She reminded me of Cover nor Hoch, who in speaking at Memphis spoke of the state and of the methods of doing things, of which he was not ashamed, and that nothing destructive came from the Sunfower state. won- derful improvement has been seen in Kan sas, of which other states might well be proud
