Montgomery, November 21.-(Special.)- There is a persistent rumor about the state that an extra session of the legis- lature will be called some time after the first of the year to see to the en- forcement of the prohibition laws. Dur ing the past week the talk was given renewed interest by a report by Selma man that he had been told by one in au- thority that such a move is in contempla- ton.
 Governor Conner the man who knows all about it, has not said what he has in mind along this line.

B. Crompton. head of the Anti-Saloon 1 league, and others.
 Many Vets Will Attend. Indications are that the attendance at the meeting of Confederate organizations of several kinds at Mobile next week will be very largely attended. Col. Harvey E. Jones, adjutant of the Ala bama division of the veterans, expects at least 200 delegates; Capt. A. c. Sexton, who commands the sons, anticipates a better attendance than at the general re- union in Birmingham, while c. J. Owens, head of the Alabama and Tennessee de- partment, expects this. the first reunion of the organization, to be largely patron- | ned.
 William B. Fort of Montgomery who l was to make the annual address of the sons will not be able to go. His place will be filled by John M. Burns of Mon roeville. Gov. B. B. Conner will make l the welcome address for the state and Mayor Lyons for the city. The governor, however, will not be able to remain over I the entire time, so has recalled the or
 
 all the. meetings are November "A to 26. | Busy This Week. 1 The week will be busy, opening with what promises to be a live session of l the railroad commission on Tuesday, when the now famous barge rate questions will be before the body. The question of better passenger and freight accommo- dations on the Nashville, Chattanooga and 1 St. Louis is also on the boards. l The supreme court will have the Br- l mingham, or sixth division, the heaviest docket in the list. It includes the fol- lowing counties: Blount, Cullman, Fay cite, Jefferson, Lamar, Marion, Pickens. l Tuscaloosa, Walker and Winston. l Many of the capitol officers will be in Mobile at the reunion of the Confederate veterans and sons. Capt. A. c. Sexton, head of the sons, and John H. Wallace, Jr.. will be among those away being of- ficers of the sons. Dr. Thomas M. Owen. director of the history department, past commander-in-chefo of the sons, will also go.
