 It Is estimated that there were over 1000 people present to hear her, and some had to be turned away for the lack of seats, Mrs. Curtis win speak again at the Count House tonight and her efforts win bring the prohibition catise increased strength in this coun- ty.
 Speeches in behalf of the cause of prohibition were made by the follow ing speakers Sunday at the following places: Hon. T. D. Sanford at Phe- nix City; W. T. Wear at Opelika, and John K. watkins at Loachapoka. Each of the gentlemen had large audiences and 1t is thought they accomplished some good for their cause.
 The case of the State of Alabama vs. John stanfield. charged with murder, was continued until the November term q the Lee County Court of Law and Equity. Stanfield is charged with kfll- ing Colonel Hood. near Benlah. in the early summer. Both parties to the tragedy are white, and the case has attracted much attention.
 John H. Floyd who was shot at his home about four miles from Opelika last Monday night. has recovered suf- hciently to be able to come to Opelika. Up to the present time the officers have been unable to find the criminal, al- though three negroes have been ar- rested. and 1t is thought perhaps one of them may be the guilty party.

DECLINES
vICE-PREsIDENT CANNOT COME TO
 MONTGOMERY.
In Letter of Deciination to Colonel wiley, He Expresses High Ap- precintion of Late Senators
 AorGmn and Pettus.

Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks has declined the invitation of the Ala bama Agricultural Association, ex- tended to him through Hon. A. A, Wiley, Congressman srom ehe Second District to come to Montgomery for the Fair.
 Tn personal letter to Colonel Wiley Vice. President Fairbanks wrote that on account of his travels through the West he would be unable to come to Montgomery. He wrote feelingly of his visit to the State when he at- tended the funeral of Senator Morgan, and of Senator Morgan and of Senator Pettus, who died soon afterwards, he expressed his high regard.
 Colonel Wiley went to Washington 10 extend in person the invitation of the Alabama Agricultural Association to MT. Fairbanks who unfortunately was then just departed for the Far West. Thus was caused the delay of noar1y three weeks from the issuance of the invitation to the declination of it.
 The invitation was not only that the Vice-P President should visit Montgom- cry in Fair week. but that he should deliver an address.
 Following is copy of the letter from Mir. Fairbanks:
 "The vice-President's Chamber, washA
 ington.
 'IpdianapoIis. Sept 2s, 1907.
 My Dear Colonel Wiley--Your fa- vor of the~7 7th inst. is received. L most heartily thank you for the invi- tation which you send on behalf Of the Alabama Agricultural Association to attend it's second annual fair at Montgomery between the 24th of octo- Der and the 2nd of November. ap- preciate the courtesy which comes at your hands, and would accept if l could reasonably do so. The demands upon me. however. are such that 1t will be impossible to arrange to visit Montgomery within the dates men tioned. on
 By the way. when | left you after we had paid our last tribute to the memory of our mutual friend, Senator Morgan. little thought, that his cor- league, Senator Pettus, would so soon follow him. had for both of these great Senators the highest personai regard and admiration. They were a great honor to Alabama and to the en- tire countfy.
 Again thanking you for your kind ness. remain,
 'Faithfully your friend.
