The pains thru my back were often so.

I felt weak and languid and my

COTTON CROP IS
 IN BAD SHAPE

Dallas, September 13.-In publishing cotton crop reports from $50 correspond ents in Texas and Oklahoma the Calves ton-Dallas News will tomorrow say:
 "(Comparisons are based upon the crop of the preceding year.)
 The News reports show that the con- dition in Texas on September was 4o.1 per cent worse than upon the corres bonding day in 1908; in Oklahoma, 30 per cent worse.
 Except for damage by boil weevil in 52 counties in Texas and three in Okla homa and by boil worms in g coun- ties of Texas, the deterioration is as- cribed solely to the protracted drouth, still continuing, excessive heat and hot winds which have stopped growth and fruitage and caused shedding and pre- mature opening In Texas the crop is practically all open and with labor in abundance picking is being rushed and the product sold as fast as ginned. Har- vest began two weeks earlier than last year on an average but will be over much earlier in proportion. Rain would do more harm than good, as prospects for a top crop are practically nil. A number of correspondents report short lint.
 In Oklahoma deterioration has been due almost entirely to drouth and heat. Picking will average three weeks earlier with plenty of labor.
 Premature opening of bolls and short ness of lint is reported in that state also.

 They could find no water stated he "and were about to perish. Finally they came to a deep well. Let's jump in, said one of the frogs. the one who thought little. Oh, mo- replied the wise one, for when we are in we will never get out again. It is best to take our chances on the outside "
 In concluding, MT. Weatherly urged against the fanatical instinct which prompts one to follow an ism and to vote for an 1st.'
 He predicted, too, the defeat of the amendment, explaining that he did not believe the farmers, on whom the prohi- bitionists depend, will rally to the cause. He read extracts from the speech of Pres ident Barrett of the Cotton Growers as- sociation in which it was said that the success of the farmer today Is due to the fact that he is no longer carried away with resolutions and promises, but that he must be shown.

DELEGATES TO CAPITAL

Ensley. September 1S.-(Special.) )-Post- master J. K Thompson has received the report of the government auditor in re- gard to the last quarterly finance state- ment of the Ensley postoffice. The report was very gratifying, showing a substan- tial increase in the receipts of the office. in fact they were in excess of any report since the postoffiee was established. He was also notified of an increase in the appropriation for the care of the office building. A new Remington typewriter was also sent by the department to fa- cilitate the work of the office.
 As some discussion has prevailed in re- gard to the removal by the department of certain negro letter carriers, who were superseded by white men, the department has notified Postmaster Thomas that they were removed for sufficient cause and that the incident was closed so far as the department was concerned.

JESSE STALLlNGS TALKS
 AGAINST POLITICAL PARSON

Jesse Stallings was next called to the front. He came smiling, and stated that he had just returned from south Ala bama. They told me down there" he stated. that the southern end. of the state was all right. and that the only danger was in the northern extremity.
 And we have got them beaten. It Is generally conceded already that we lave them deefated-if we keep on fighting. But you will never do it If you turn over civic government to the cheap class Of preachers. Do not fear them. When they strike, you strike. and in so doing do the country a service in whipping the po- ltical preacher back to his pulpit. Decent people can't follow that sort of gang any further. Tell them to tend their fiocks in the old-fashioned way, or you will cut off their quarter Remove the fire from the boiler and see what happens.
 Never hesitate to strike the cloth when the cloth strikes at the constitu- tional rights of Alabamians
 And this amendment fight is not a fight either for or against temperance, within itself But it IS a struggle, the outcome of which will determine the ouestion-Shall the political preacher rule the state. or shall the state rule?"

 WHY AMENDMENT

against the open and unlicensed sale of whisky, the amendment carrying no pen hibition clause is in the constitution. However, in that state more liquor is sold than in any other. The constitu- tion, in that 1t tends to have an effect on the traffic in whisky, is nullity and Is totally disregarded.
 ''If the people in Alabama believe the amendment can stop the trouble they are deluded. We have had 1t with us since the days of Noah. They are ignorant who tell us that the amendment, if adopted. will make prohibition forever effective, and check the agitation. If Conner, by an amendment, can stop the traffic in liquor, he will have conferred a blessing on the human race that all governments,
