NEW COUNTY ON :
SEPARATE BALLOT

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
My attention has been called to your
report of the proceedings of the state
executive committee at Montgomery
last Wednesday, which appears In your
issue of Thursday, the 18th inst, on
page and fourth column. In the third
paragraph of your report you state that
the proposed new county amendments
ballot will be on the same ballot with
the others, or to use your exact words,
"or in other words, that the amendment
must be a part of the one ballot so that
there will be no confusion on the part
of voters"
This is an error on your part, but I
am sure it was unintentiona1. I pres
pared the resolution which was intro
ferson, and which was passed by the
committee, and 1t expressly provides
in section 4 of the instructions to the
managers of the election, which were
attached to and made a part of the
resolution, that the new county amends
ment ballot should be separate from the
others.
AS your paper Is very widely read
throughout the state, l will appreciate
it if you will make correction of this
error. You are auth orized to use this
letter as a correction If you so de-
sire. Thanking you for same, I re-
main, yours very truly,
GEORGE PEGRAM,
Chairman New County State Campaign
Committee, Southern Division.

The speakers yesterday included r. NJ.
Goodall, the Rev Brooks Lawrence, Es-
car Floyd. F. NJ. Jackson, w. L. Ses-
sions, H. P. Hefin and G. II. Estes.
The speakers pointed out that during the
summer there had been an apparent wan
ing in the desire TO enforce the prohi-
bition laws and that it was the duty OF
1aw-abiding citizens to see that the new
laws were obeyed. In the course of his
remarks the Rev. Brooks Lawrence said:
I'VE must make up our minds that we
have the organized liquor forces of the
United States to meet here in Jefferson
county. There must come some political
killings and some political burials be-
fore we shall have completed our sues
cess"
After lunch the speaking was continued
and interesting addresses were made by
Col. T. CT. Bush, Representative r. i.
Lovelady of Pratt City, President Crump-
ton of the Alabama Law and Order
league, and others.

If this contract is awarded the South

been carried on in each serving to awak-
EN- the voters. North Birmingham Zig
ured in the hottest contest of the day,
where the Friel and Green tickets strove
for the mastery. TWO aldermen were
elected from each of the five wards and
the vote showed an even split to have
been made, five Friel men and five
Green men being elected.
T. H. Frlel won out for mayor over c.
M. Green by a majority Of u votes, the
count standing 215 to 2OS. The Green

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.
Enjoyable Social Session Held at Hall
Last Night.

The social session given by the Knights
of Columbus last night in the knights
of Columbus hall was one of the most en-
joyable held for a long time. The sue
cess of the entertainment was due to the
energy which the new lecturer, Sterling
A. Wood, has thrown into the discharge
of the duties of the office.
After a few short and interesting talks
had been made by members and visitors,
Linnehans band took hold of the stu
alton and played a delightful selection OF
dance music, which was taken advantage
of by about 40 young couples. A very
pleasant evening was spent by all present,
and it is the purpose of the Knights to
entertain their friends at least once a
month at a social session during the
coming season.
