Montgomery November 14.-(Special)- The legislature got down to hard "orN after half holiday to pay tribute to the veterans of the Confederacy and sons, and it looks now as if the more impor- tant bills will be passed by Tuesday Of next week, The first measure to re- ceive the signature of the governor was for appropriation of $5O,0o0 for the ex- penses of the session, though others will get to him by the end of the week.
 An interesting thing about the discus sion of the railroad bills Is the apparent fear on the part of the railroads that they can not be resisted without being tried All of the railroad friends take this sort of view, and argue that the of- feet will be, whether specifically stated or not, to deprive the railroads of the right to try cases in the federal court It is, at the same time. no secret that 1t was the intention of the men who framed the bills to make it impossible to go into the federal court.
 Many have been surprised at the activ- ity of certain members of the legislature for general prohibition bill. The secret seems to be out in the fear that the local option bill will not meet the test of the courts. Action has been taken at De- catur to defeat the result of the vote there last week on the ground that the bill Is not constitutional. Speaker Carmichael in his speech said as much and number who are now for a new bill would nave been content, it is said, with local option if they had been sure of it's success.
 Among the bills outside the call that are said to be certain to get through is one to exempt life and fire insurance com panies from taxation for a term of years if they are organized and nave principle office in this state. The laws are now quite heavy on writers of this class of risk, and it is thought that if the tax can be removed in this way several companies will be formed. E. R. McDavid of Bir- mingham, former insurance commissioner, is behind the bill, 1t is reported. Sem ator Reese introduced it.
 Senator Fred Blacl1mon made his big speech Wednesday, after which he left the city, and will be back very little dur ing the session. He said, like Pitts of Dallas, that what he had to say, and what he thought amounted to so little that there was no use staying Co say and think. He had a stenographer present to take report of what he said, and will have it verbatim to show that hA stood up and fought best he could for what seemed to him right. He was given many expressions of appreciation during he course of his remarks. Though out of line with the majority, Mir. Blackmon Is one of the popular men of the body.

TEST AMENDMENT PROPOSED.
State Courts Are To Give Hearings To
 Railroad litigants.

Montgomery. November 4.--Senator Teasley today introduced an amendment to the maximum railroad freight bill, which provides for the giving of q hear ing in the courts of the state to rail- road litigants It was argued that the entire purpose of the amendment was to go on record granting a hearing to railroads by the state courts as to the consttutionality of the laws aimed at the railroads. Senator Teasiy be- longs to the minority and the majority members adjourned quickly, so as to give opportunity to examine the amend ment.

are Lieutenant Governor Henry B. Gray of Birmingham and MT. Spragin5 of Huntsville. Both are bankers and feel that they are needed at home during the financial disturbances. Howeve. both have been most of the time in their places, serving their people in spite of demands at home. We are in fine shape at Huntsville said Senator Spragins. Though other cities have restricted the amounts depositors may draw we have not. We have protected ourselves from the outside, but home folks are not re- stricted.'
 Another man who is making a sacrifice is Senator II. E. Reynolds of Bibb We are doing just like Huntsville in the matter of banking" said MT. Reynolds. ''No restrictions are put on the with drawals, and the last time had a report from the bank 1 do business with, it had all the money 1t needed When l went home from here the other day took s10O0 to help out in the reserve. TN presi- dent thanked me, but said l need not bring any more, he had really more than he needed to meet every demand. We are taking care of the business, which is good. by the way, though we are feeling, of course, the stringency." MT. Reynolds Is q merchant.
 During the debate in the house over the prohibition bill, Dr. Lovelady of Jef- ferson made the statement that in eer- tain town in Jefferson county, which has 200 population and no saloons, a liquor man offered to pay $500 year license and guarantee the Mayor two cases a day for trial in the municipal court, as another source of revenue. He said this illus trated the certainty of trouble in the sale of whisky He also said that those towns in the county which had no sa- looms had more money for schools and were more generally out of debt than those which did have it.
 It is expected that the Ballard bill for constitutional prohibition will not be taken up until Saturday. count of noses does not make it certain that it can get to passage, and there is a desire to hold off until there is more certainty about the result. The senate is doubtful, and a great deal of quiet work is being done to find where men yet in doubt can be placed. There is a great deal of ap- pealing at this time to regard the plat form, for what 1t did not say as well as for what it did, and many are being told that faith has not been kept if too strin- gent prohibition programme is carried out.

You Can Lead a Dyspeptic to the Table, But You Cannot Make
 Him Eat.

There comes a time in the lives of a great many men and women when even a sirloin steak ceases to be poetry. It becomes a protest. The appetite becomes fitful and fretful. Nothing on the bill of fare can coax it.
 The appetite is there and yet it isn't
 This makes eating mere matter of machinery--the mouth doesr't water. The stomach has been worked overtime, and the body and the brain are paying the penalty.
 There are thousands of people in every station of life who are walking the earth
