 "The preservation of the constitu- tional rights of the States to legislate on questions purely within their own Jurisdiction and territory Is pressing to the front as a most vital issue. our fathers warned us that the growing tendency would be to concentrate all power and jurisdiction in the central government and it's agencies. How prophetic these warnings!
 50 far as am concerned I shall stand in the Senate for the rights Of the States to legislate in respect to their local affairs. and I shall stand firm against the nullifyine of the acts of our Legislatures until they shall have been pronounced contrary to the constitution of the highest tribunal In the land.
 Tt Is our pride. recognized more and more by our brethren of the North. that the purest Anglo Saxon stock IS here in the South: that our people stand with unshaken front for the tra- ditions of our fathers, hold fast to the old standards, preserve faith in our fathers God; and that here under our sunny skies are and will be found the strongest and most unoonquerable de- lenders of the constitution as framed by our revolutionary sires.
 Above all. gentlemen. making no apologies for the past. with pride in the glorious memories we have inherited, I shall stand for our State and our people, their progress and prosperity. I shall endeavor to uphold the stand ard of Southern chivalry and honor, the welfare of our common country and the glory of our republic"
 The caucus adjourned immediately following the address by Senator-eiecs Johnston, many of the Legislators pressing forward to shake his nano and offer their congratulations.

Jackson. Miss, August 1-Incomplete returns from the Democratic primary held today throughout the state at this hour show Congressman John Sharp Williams leading Gov vardas man for the Senatorial nomination by, ratio of about 3 to 1.

Owing to the cx- treme length of the ticket. the count Is necessarily slow. At Williams headquarters his election is claimed by a majority of 10000.

Action Taken by Secretary Of State Julian Despite the
 Injunction by Judge Jones.

from Huntsville in a general westerly direction. through Decatur and Tus- cumbia, following in the main the Ten nessee river, and thence to Memphis. and the old Georgia Pacific. running from Birmingham through Talladega and to Atlanta.
 There are also two shorter branch lines. one running from Selma to Akron. and the other from Selma to York. Both of these lines lie wholly within the State of Alabama
 Othern Lines of S0uthern.
 Besides these lines. which are owned absolutely by the Southern Railway, there are other lines within the State which are controlled by the Southern. but which are operated under an en- tire1y separate organization. With this separate organization. the sepa- rate corporations and the separate homogeneous, there seems no ques- tion but that the revocation of the charter of the Southern. even though 1t should ultimately be held to have been a valid action. will not in any manner affect the allied roads.
 One of the principal ones of the con- trolled or allied. lines, indeed, the Mo bile and Ohio, Is itself operating un- der a charter as an Alabama corpora tion. It has not, itself. the right to appeal to the Federal courts in the same class of cases and upon the 1ame grounds as has the Southern.
 According to popular belief. the Southern is supposed to exercise decided influence in the affairs of the Western of Alabama and the Central of Georgia lines. But both of these are operating. as Is the Mobile and Ohio, under an entirely separate char ter. The control, if control there be. is solely by means of the holdings of stock. and is through the stockhold- CTS, rather than by direct orders of the management.
 It Is also supposed that the South ern and the Seaboard Air Line are con- trolled by much the same financial coterie. But there is no direct con- nection between the arrangements of the two lines. and the outwardly. at least. the two are rivals in business.
 But 1t Is believed that none of these lines is in any manner affected by the action of the Secretary of State. as the connection, If any. Is in too indirect . manner. It Is not the Mobile and Ohio, nor yet any of the others, which has removed a case from the State court to the Federal. in defiance of the wishes of the Alabama authorities, all belt in accordance with the decision of the United States Court for the Middle District of Alabama.

 Interut.

Louisville, Ky. August 1 ' that the Louisville and Nash -f road and the Southern Raj
 pose to transfer brewery par s-, and stills from Georgia to are not dry have followed -.e aA nouncement that Georgia will go dry"
 These reports are denied by local of- ficials of the railroads. Fred Behring. of the Southern Railway, said the Southern Railway will not transfer distillery paraphernalia and stills for nothing. as 1t would be violating a law made by the Interstate Commerce Com mission.
 An official of the Louisville and Nashville said that his railroad will not convey distillery paraphernalia across the border of Georgia for two reasons. The first one. he said. was because there are no distilleries along the lines of this railroad. and 1t does not interest them at all whether the State is dry or wet" The other reason. he said. is that the railroad does not care to violate a ruling of the Interstate Commerce Commission.
