ciuos are hot after Perry. he aavs tba hirminsham club especially. but be ss aoas tn his letter that he will give montgomery first cali on thk fhirS oaseman if he Is wanted here
 President Chant bers immedIatelv wrote Mir Navin that Montgomery nm. doubtedly wanted Perry and wanted nm badly. so 1t all means that Perry VIII play hls fourth season in a Mont gomery uniform. This will be good news to local fandom for besides be- ins one or the greatest minor league inhelders in the business, Perry bv his uniformly gentlemanly actions since he came here. nearly four years ago Is a universal favorite.
 Tn the same mail came a letter from Eo Gremtnger in which he said that ne had closed deal with one of the young third basemen that Fred Clark mas in Pittsburg. If both of them come to Montgomery next March there IS hardly question that Perry will stay on the job at the third corner ur the diamond unless the other man can show that he is the best. If he can he will undoubtedly be the fastest in. neider that ever left the big leagues Tor the minors.

INTEREST AROUSED
IN CAMPAIGN ON THE NEW AMEND
 MENTS.
The RagsdaIe Amendment, Providing for Creation of New Counties, ts Proving Most Interesting
 Feature of Campaign.

Birmingham, Oct. -(Speciai)- The campaign being waged on the three amendments to the Constitution of the State. especially the Ragsdale amendment providing for new coun- ties, with the understanding that no county Is to be cut down under 500 square miles. is arousing great inter est in the election in November. a lit- tie over week hence and will bring about a most healthy vote and a big majority for the Democratic ticket.
 The opposition to the Ragsdale amendment is being led by men who are we'll up in the financial and In. dustrial world and their campaign is to be one full of vim and interest, but one week yet remaining before the election. To go to the polls and vote for one or the other amendments, the leaders claim. will mean vote for one or the other of the political parties. The other amendments provide for good roads and biennial sessions of the Legislature. There appears to be an unanimous opinion as far as the good roads matter goes in this section of the State opposition is expressed to the Legislature meeting every two years proposition.
 Several clerks will be busy mailing out literature and d number of speak CTS will be on the stump this week fighting the Ragsdale amendment. The meeting held last night brought for ward some of the leaders in the fight. Those who are working for the amend ment, especially the people of Besse- mcr and Demopolis, have been doing some hard work for several months past. They now find themselves up against a strong proposition. viz, some strong politicians and a large amount of money.
 Reports which come here are to the effect that the matter has been under discussion for some time and many people throughout the State have made up their minds to vote for the amend ment.
 The campaign for the three amend ments will result in Alabama casting a larger vote than in the last Federal election. In 1904 Alabama is credited with giving Parker 79,s57 votes and Roosevelt 22.472. There will be an in- crease for both inasmuch as the cam paign for the amendments has been active and then again the Republicans have done some work. There will hardly be any Democrats voting for Taft this year.
 The whirlwind campaign against the new counties amendment Is we'll in hand now and will attract attention this week

 Perry Will Return to Third

It looks like a cinch just now that Clayton Perry will be at his familiar place. third base. when Ed Greminger's infield starts the season of 1909.
 A day or so ago President Chambers received a letter from Secretary Navin of the Detroit Club in regard to Perry Last September 1t will be remembered that Perry was allowed to go to De- troit in response to a very urgent tell egram from Mfr. Navin. the latter agreeing to give President Chambers first pick 4at youngsters the Tigers could not use next spring. Perry played in one or two games with the Tigers, but he was taken sick and had to go home before the season was over, though the management Of the De- troit club very magnanimously gave hlm $500 of the worlds series money. In his letter to President Chambers Mir. Navin says that Jennings was dis appointed in the showing that Perry made, and that he will be sold or traded next spring. Several minor league

Speigel. pastor of the newly estab. lished Christian Church of Montgom- cry yesterday morning said farewell to the members of the congregation with which he had worked so faith fully since last May The departure Of Mir. Speigei does not mean that he has resigned charge of the church. but simply that his term as State Evangelist has come to an end. and that in the future he will conduct work along similar lines in North Carolina.
 For the past seven years Mir. Spiegel has been State Evangelist of Alabama under the direction of the National Board. and during this period has been most successful in his work. By se- ries of evangelistie or mission ser vices during the early months of last spring, Mir. Spiegel, together with Rev. A.. E.

Spiegel has assumed the pastorate of the little church, and by his personality has more than doubled It's membership. The ser. vices of the church being held tp the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium.

 Rlous People.

Dadeville, Oct. 25.-(Special. )-The preliminary trial of J. Fletcher Fur ner, who shot and killed Jack Hender- son on the public square here Monday afternoon, was concluded before Judge c. J.

The State was represented by T. H. Wat kins, County Solicitor, and T. D. Sam ford of Opelika.

These witnesses were on the west side of the square, about the centre of the block. and the diff ficulty occurred on the north side of the square near the east side of the block, about 100 yards from where the shooting was done.
 Some of the State witnesses testi. fled that the difficulty occurred between and o'clock in the afternoon and that they could distinguish who the parties were from where they stood, while others testified that 1t was about 5:S0 and too dark to see who the par lies were.
