Amount of DamaGe Is Indeterminate On L. and N.S Six Crews At Worky Prominent Official
 in Field,

The Louisville and Nashville train service between Mobile and New Or leans is still tied up. on account of the damage resulting from the storm.
 The L. and N. trains leaving Mont gomery for the South yesterday only ran as far as Mobile Train No. 37. through train from New York to the Crescent City. was detourei from Mo- bile to New Orleans last night by way of Hattiesburg and Meridian,
 The exact amount of the damage has not yet been ascertalned. The tracks of the road run on trestles over water much of the way from Mobile to New Orleans. With the high water. 1t is likely that part of the trestle work was washed away.
 Six wrecking crews from various points have been at work repairing the damage for the past two days. c. b. Evans, fourth vice president of the Louisville and Nashville, with hea l. quarters at Louisville, is with the crews, experimenting the construc. tion work.

PREDICTS A DEFEAT
FLOYD DECLARES STATE
 AGAINST AMENDMENT.
However, He snys some Counties Are Certain te vote for it--Oth-
 ers Are Deubt-

Huntsviiie, Sept. s2--(special) -"The people of the Black Belt claim that If North Alabama will not give too large a majority for the amendment. the proposition will be badly defeated in the State" said John B. Floyd of Birmingham, who has recently made a tour throuyh the 'Black Belt" regions in an automobile.
 Mir Floyd says the sentiment in Mld- dle Alabama is very strong against the amendment. There has been a com piete reversal of feeling. Life long prohibitionists have joined in the fight aginst the proposition because they believe the adoption of the amend ment will be ruinous to the best in- terests of the State. In their opinion 1t is fanaticism run riot and all of the old Democratic leaders have set out to save the state from the complete dom- nation of Conner and his legions. Con Hervative prohibitionists have become alarmed and are no longer lined UT with the State administration that seeks to invade the sanctity of the home.
 Gen. John H. Peebles of Mooresviile the Weakley -Spragins debate. has giv. en some thought to the situation ir North Alabama and he believes that Madison. Colbert and his own county Limestone, will return large ma5ori' ties against the amendment, while Nor gan. Lauderdale and Jackson are ex pected to contribute smaller majoritiei In the same direction. In his opinion Lawrence is the only doubtful count, in the Eighth District and the result there will be close.

 He said the issue before the people was greater than Conner. the Legis- lature of any other set Of men, He said the proposed Amendment was of more importance to the people of Ala hama than any question which has arisen since the agitation of slavery. which brought on the bloody war IL involved individual rights and the sanctity of the home.
 He said Hon. H. P. Merritt had been invited to divide time. put for some reason he did not put in his appear ance.

Amendment.
 Camden, Sept. 22-(Special)--Thef fol- lowing call has been issued:
 we. the undersigned Central Cam paign Committee for Wilcox county, appointed by a meeting held In the Court House at Camden on the 2oth inst. to organize against putting into the Constitution of the State the pend- ing prohibition amendment, do hereby call a meeting of all who are interest ed in this great question to meet at the Court House at Camden. Tuesday. the 2Sth day of September, 1909. at 1 o'clock D. m.
 Said meeting will provide q general campaign committee for the county, and 1t Is desired that each beat in the county be represented In said meeting by as many as can come.
 '"rhis is not a movement against prohibition, nor in favor of any can- didate for office. We have in new and stringent form by the late extra ses- sion of the Legislature already laws prohibiting the sale of liquor. We will have rigid prohibition laws after said amendment Is defeated. just as much as if 1t Is adopted: that law 1t is our duty to enforce. and the power of the State Is behind it. putting same in the Constitution is a useless move and an unnecessary expense upon the people and adds no new force to the law uu- less 1t be that our homes will be bet ter open to search warrants and ex- posed to Humiliation and suspicion than now. and said law be made hard CT to amend or repeal.
 eve stand for letting the law remain as 1t is. and the defeat of the amend ment will not and cannot put whiskey In Wilcox county under the present law.
 At said meeting we will have prom tnent speakers from distance 10 tn- form us as to the wisdom and patriot ism and moral features of the great contest that has been put upon the people.
 "We all desire to be informed and to vote intelligently. and not to be led to tamper with the fundamental guar antees of the peoples tights in matters that can be regulated by statutes a. we'll and better than in the Constitu' tion.

NEW FIRE PROTECTION
 SYSTEM IS INSTALLED

City Electrician Blakey yesterday was busy at the headquarters of the fire department putting the finishing touches on an indicator which con- nects with the fire sprinkler systems of several wholesale houses of the city.
 The new indicator will .instanty register any fire that may occur where a sprinkler is installed. and is con nected with it. A dial will show its exact location.
 At present five wholesale firms have the sprinkler system installed. these firms are: Sloss. Kahn and Co.,, Win ter. Loeb Grocery Co.,, Steiner and Lobman, Montgomery Fair and Greil Brothers. Other firms are contemplat- ing similar systems which will, when completed, be connected with the in- dicator at headquarters.
 The indicator is original with MT Blakey and Is the result of a study he has made of the subject over a period of many years.
 A general test will be made of the new system today at o'clock.
