The Cause OF Accidents.

Accidents may be divided into three
great classes-those due to careless
ness, those due to falling eyesight or
falling limbs, and what the lawyers
call pure or inevitable accidents, Of
which last class there are extremely
few. The great bulk of accidents are,
It may confidently be said, due either
to carelessness or recklessness.

CAesred by Audience ss He Bares Po- Mtieal Hypocrisy of Conner and His Proposed Prohi
 Anne eminent.

Wetumpka, Oct. 5.-(Special.)- Phares Coleman of Montgomery spoke here today in opposition to the adop- ton of the constitutional amendment to an audience of about 300 persons. who listened attentively to the master full arguments presented why the amendment should not be adopted.
 The first proposition presented by MT. Coleman was that the bringing on of this election at this time was simply and solely q matter of politics to fur ther the cause of the present admin istration and the continuation in power of Comerism by the election of Judge weakley: that the cost of the election and agitation growing out of 1t was entirely unnecessary to further the cause of prohibition; that the present prohibition laws are drastic in the ex- treme, and needed no constitutional amendment to add to their worth, and that the people at this time should have had rest and quiet.
 He handled Rev. Brooks Lawrence with ungloved hands. He character ized him as the self-appointed agent to teach the yeomanry Of Alabama morals. He called upon the voters to arise in their might and on Nov. 2s resent the enrontery of the gentleman from Ohio.
 MT. Coleman excoriated Governor Conner for telling the people of Fillmore County in his recent canvass of the county in favor of the amendment that tbev might order whiskies in any amount and store them in their homes or outhouses, or about their premises ana that they might invite in all the neiebbors and all get bowling drunk without violating any law upon the

AID TO SUFFERERS
GOVERNMENT STARTS RELIEF
 WORK IN LOUISIANA.
ooionei Foote Directs Distribution in Terrebonne Parfsh-The Gulf Coast is Recovering
 From storm.

New Orleans. Oct 5.-The diistribu- ton of rations. tents, blankets and mattresses was today begun by the Federal government. under the direc- ton of Lieutenant Colonel Foote, U. $. A.. to the storm sufferers of Terre- bonne Parish. Louisiana. More than 1000 persons have sought the relief thus afforded.
 For two weeks the citizens of Terre- bonne parish, aided by people of oth- CT sections of the State. have carried on the work of supplying the victims of the hurricane of September 20 in that section with necessities of life.
 The assistance directed by the Unit ed States War Department is pro nounced as very opportune. Supplied with tents and provisions. the former occupants of the fishing grounds on the Terrebonne coast are now provid- ed with the means for removal to their former settlements. a restoration of their homes and resumption of their occupations.
 Reports received here up to the present time from the sugar belt of Louisiana state that the damage to the cane crop was not nearly as se- rious as first believed. While the cane in most instances was ievelled, 1t was not considerably uprooted and favorable weather has conduced to a revival of the stand. The task of re- pairing wrecked sugar houses has gone rapidly forward and there will be little. if any. delay in beginning the grinding season.
 It Is now believed that more than fifty per cent of the coal sunk on the lower Mississippi river during the hurricane may be saved. Several digger" boats, which will engage in an effort to raise the capsized barges. reached New Orleans and vicinity late yesterday and today began their work in this direction. Scores of coal barges. representing a value of almost million dollars. went down in the river as a result of the hurricane.
 The Louisville and Nashville Rail- road expects to resume normal traf- fic within the next three weeks. The trestles for a distance of thirty miles or more out of New Orleans on this line is being pushed forward rapidly The task of restoring traffic has re- quired hundreds of men. carloads of material and much time.
 Along the Gulf coast of Mississippi the rebuilding of piers, boat houses and club houses, constituting the greater portion of property damaged is we'll under way and there will be little evidence of the recent storm in that section within the next few weeks.

MANY CASES FAIL.

Birmingham, Oct. 5.-(Special.)- Seven cases were mol pressed, three cases thrown out on the plea of mis- homer and two defendants found not guilty, one defendant convicted and fined $50 and two forfeitures taken against defendants in the first divis- ion of the criminal court. Judge Fort presiding.
 The several cases were mol pressed because 1t was shown that the same witnesses were used and statement was made in the court that these wilt nesses had been used by the sherin' s forces.
 The absence of John A. Lynch, who was the agent of the Law and Order League, a few months ago and Is now out of the city, having accepted other work, caused some of the cases to be mol pressed.
 Jim o'Hear was found guilty and fined $50 on a charge of violating the prohibition law. It was shown in the trial that the defendant ran a soft drink stand on the southside, and that a negro spotter was sent to his place by a deputy sheriff and purchased a bottle of corn whiskey. A deputy watched the proceedings, so 1t was sworn to.
 O'Hear denied that he sold the whis- key and said that he had had none to sell. He stated to the jury that the reason he was arrested was because he had encountered the disfavor of Chief Deputy Sheriff Lucien Brown.
 Deputy Sheriff Beverly Chew swore that he saw a sale between O'Hear and the negro and that the only thing said at the time of the arrest in reference to Chief Deputy Brown was by the de- fendant who said that 1t appeared that the officers mad it in" for him.
 The cases have attracted a large at
