INTERESTING GOSSIP OF
 AFFAIRS AT MONTGOMERY
BY HERvEY W. LAIRD.

Montgomery, November 13.-(Special.)- workers is laid out, but the fight on liquor and for the passage of prohibi- as was at first supposed. In the house it will take 64 members to pass the Bal lard bill for constitutional prohibition, and the friends of the measure have counted 66 as certain to be on hand and for it. At the same time it is possible that on vote some of these might be away when the ballots are cast.
 However, the main possibilities of trou- ble seem to lie in the senate. T do not feel at all certain that the bill of MT. Ballard or that of MT. Carmichael for statutory prohibition will pass on our side," said a member of the upper house, who is an ardent friend of both measures. sThere is a strong feeling over that way that the local option bill should have a chance and there are many who do not believe that actual prohibition will come as quick with state elimination as by taking it away a county time. Mobile has great many friends who are pull ing hard to have the principle of local option maintained"
 On the other hand friends of the two measures, about which the fight will
 hter, say that both houses are cer- tain to pass them. Count has been made of noses and the outlook is very bright. they say. Lieutenant Governor Gray and

Marshal Picks Him Up and Wilson George Confesses To Burning or
 Barn Near Phenix City.

Columbus. Ga, November 1S.-tSpe- ciall--Marsbal Speir of Phenix City Ala, was walking along the hlghWag today when he saw negro running. He promptly pursued him and after long chase caught the fugitive.
 The negro, whose name is wilson George, told the marshal as soon as caught that he was the person who burned the barn of John F1ndlator last Friday night, entailing loss Of S200O.
 The marshal did not have the slight est idea as to why the negro was running, or what offense he had com mitted. Georges nerve simply de- serted him when he saw the marshal and he could not resist the impulse to flee.

in the injunction, but the main reason is the constitutionality of the law un- der which the election was held.
 The state local option bill excluded certain dispensary counties in the state and the injunction ayers that this makes a local and not a state law. re- auiring twenty days notice betore us passage by the legislature ana lhae this notice was not given. some me points of law are brought out Tn the bill and the trial of the case Will no doubt involve some interesting leSai complications. Some of the leading at torneys here are of the opinion .ha the contentious set out in the bill of Injunction will hold and that the elec- ton will finally be declared void.

Just one or two Stuart Charcoal Lozenges will make your breath sweet. and make you feel better all over for if You can eat all the onions and odorous foods you want, and no one can tell the difference.

COOPER CLEARED OF PEONAGE CHARGE Notable Case Is Disposed of At
 Selma CHARGE NOT SUSTAINED Bud Mackin Charged With Sending Obscene Matter Through Mails Is Also Acquitted-Federal
 Court AdIourns.

Selma, November 13.-(Special )--ThS case of J. w. Cooper, charged with peon- age in the United States court. came to d close this morning, the jury bringing In it's verdict in few minutes after the charge of the judge was delivered. MT. Cooper was charged with having held in servitude negro woman, Dora Kettles, for a period of 14 years. The woman 5 testimony was highly sensational, it being alleged that Mir Cooper frequently whip ped his grown daughters as well as the negro. The evidence of some 90 or 40 witness entirely disproved the statement of the negress, and the verdict was a complete vlndication for MT. Cooper
 The case has attracted considerable in- terest in Dallas and Wilcox county, MT. Cooper living at Lower Peachtree in the latter county. His wife and daughters were in court and were indignant at the evidence given by the negress. The case seems to be one of those neighborhood differences that occasionally break out in isolated country settlements, and both sides had many witnesses present. Col A. A. Wiley, representative in Congre' from the Second district assisted Jeffr' & Pettus in the defense and the ( tirct attorney, Mir. Armbrecht, was a by MT. Miller Barney, employed by Bryant, who was the prosecutor in case.

months of 1906 meant something like

read essays or papers on various sub

papers were discussed by 2,460 per-
sons; that 5,100 persons gave vocal Sc

PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION.
Report Of the Committee of the New
York State Grange.

'OiN 0NdAt 0IdUJts
We believe that the grange should be
/ to a grcatcr extent than heretofore a
school for the progressive education of
its members. Il continuation of the
means and opportunities of the public
schools. TO this end we recommend
that courses of study be arranged in
such subjects Us history and the nat
ural sciences; that occasional lectures
be given by persons of ability and note
who may be available for the purpose,
and that examinations be held on the
subjects prescribed for study. We
suggest that in the regular programmes
of the lecturer there be an occasional
review of newly issued book. In
certain favored localities it might be
feasible to provide instruction in elo-
cution, expression and general public
speaking The lecturers hour would
thus partake of character of drill and
instruction in addition to the feature of
entertainment.
The grange might furthermore con-
tribute to the enlightenment of the
community outside the gates by main
tanning simple course of public lee
lures and concerts, extending through
the autumn and winter months. the
fee for admittancc not to exceed
nickel or a dime In localities contig
nous to colleges and scminaries such
lecture courses might be supplied from
the teaching faculties at trifing ex-
/ penSe, even when including demonstra-
tons with scientific apparatus.
Nearly all our rural communities
are without organizations devoted to
the improvement of musical talent.
Singing schools which in their day
were to some extent crude and unsat-
iSfactory nevertheless eXerted an, i'm
! pOrtant influence on ut least a part of
the people who participated in them.
Might not the grange become the in
strument in many cases for attuning
the people to the appreciation and
| practice Of good singing? The girls
and boys who have been favored with
competent instruction in the colleges
and conservatories Of music would Of
ten be glad for an opportunity through
the grange singing class to repay some
part of the debt they owe to the COM
munity that has nurturcd them.
In addition to the recommendations
already made with reference to the
teaching and study of agriculture, the
/ grange could well undertake some prac-
teal work, like the maintenance of
competitive gardening among the chill
dren of the grange or Of the public
schools of the town or district, includ-
ing an autumn exhibition of the fruits
of the little gardens. The outlay for
such an undertaking need not exceed
the cost of a single oyster supper.

THE REPORT SYSTEM.
Enables State Lecturer to Locate Weak
Spots and Render Aid.
of all.

New Hampshire, Massachusetts and
this year New York are conducting a
system Of quarterly reports from sub
ordinate grang" lecturers to the state
lecturer relative to the work of the
lecture hour. The total is little less
than amazing. Take the New IIamp-
shire report for instance, which Is for
nine months only, ending Oct. /, 1906.
During the nine months there were Civ
en- in various oranges of the state the
following:
Selections of vocal music, 1922; Sc
lections of instrumental music, 3,154;
readings and recitations, 1908; essays,
1,035; addresses, $40; dramas, "A;
farces, 254; tabeauX. 435; discussions,
1,7S9; number of speakers on discus
sions, 1885; attendance during pro-
grammeS, 1874, 1874.
Three questions were assigned for ST.
multaneous discussion. In February
217 oranges considered the teaching Of
nature studies in our common schools
and 1863 persons spoke upon this sub
ject before 5,421 people. In May the
question whether the state should pay
for the damage done by game animals
protected by law was raised. Nine
hundred and two speakers addressed
1929 people on this matter.
