going TO shatter all previous pugilis-
tic records by showing and proving ["
the fight fans that, in the six years OF
his retirement, he had not gone back
so far that a man of Johnson's makeup
could beat him.

r4pnfsviIle. Nov a7.--tSpeciaD--one rs the most enthusiastic audiences of fh. presef,t campaign was addressed today by Emmett O'Neal of Florence. MT. O'Neal denounced the spacious pretense of religion. He said the amendment will be defeated and the leaders of the movement have desert cd the fight like rats who jump over board from sinking ship
 < The only hope left to the leaders. he said is that woman and children will be able to barter coffee and ham sandwiches. for enough votes on elec- tion day to turn the tide. He asked the men to treat the women who rather at the polls With courtesy but ne said any man who trades his vote for sandwich ought to be fdisfran- chised and compelled to wear Mary Jane dress.
 Addressing himself to the old sol- diers, he asked for one more charge on November go. and said they would see the meanest carpet-bagKer who sever came to Alabama hie himself hack to Ohio on November 90 The whole campaign for the amendment he said Is the outcome of a political conspiracy planned for the purpose of getting office for the leaders. He paid his respects to. the political preachers. and said they know noth- ing of politics beyond the passions that their activities arouse.
 He said the rights the people have under this Constitution were inherited From their English ancestors and they are responsible to their posterity for keeping them invfoiate. He thinks they ought not to be allowed to sur- render them as Is proposed in the election Monday.

It Is said that. while Montgomery already has what are termed river rates on all rail- roads leading into the city. these freight rates can and will be cut In half by the actual operation of the barge and boat line.

 The following letter Is from Young Jackson, of Coosada, Ala. an old riv- CT man and student of river traffic. and Is a careful statement of the benefits to accrue to Montgomery If tho river shipping facilities are taken advantage of:
 T am very glad to know that Mont gomery is to have steamboat and barge line. You can not realize how much she will reap by 1t. It will give Montgomery direct water route to all foreign ports. the Eastern mills. and New York. She can also send her barges to Pittsburg. Pa.
