NO DECISION MADE
 BY COMMISSIONERS
EToWAH COUNTY BOARD DIFFERS PURCHASE OF FARM FOR POOR. RENEW WORK ON LOUISVILLE AND NASHVILLE BRIDGE.

Gadsden, September 1s.-(Special.) .)-The county commissioners adjourned this morning without having made purchase of a location for a county farm Pos session of the old farm, which was sold some months ago, must be given on De- cember 1, and some place to take the county's poor must be provided before that time. One farm had been quite def initely decided on but just as the com missioners were about to close trade the property was withdrawn from the market. The matter will now go over un- til some time next month.
 Nine car loads of steel for the new rail- road bridge of the Louisville and Nash vile over the Coosa river arrived In the city this morning and are being unloaded. Several crews of men will come in Mon- day and work on the structure will be renewed. There has been a delay of some weeks on account of a failure to receive the steel on time and 1t Is now quite probable that the company will find 1t difficult to finish the work before the winter rains set in The center pier of the structure is still to be rebuilt and this can not be done until the steel on the end spans has been placed. It is intended to work enough men on the job from this time on to keep. it going day and night in the hope of getting 1t out of the way in advance of the bad weather that Is certain to come.

BAR MEMBERS ON
 THE AMENDMENT Judge Coleman of AnniSton Will Oppose the Measure WHAT WOULD JURY DC?" President Daugette Talks on Pros- poets of the State Normal at Jack sonvilIe-caIhoun County Farm
 CTS Meet In October.
WHAT WOULD JURY DC?"

Anniston, September 19.-(Special 1.-Two of the most prominent members of the Anniston bar have come out in written interviews on the two sides of the ex- isting constitutional amendment issue The two main reasons given for not sup Coleman of the city court are that the law prohibits the making of domestic wines and that it prohibits his securing whisky in cases of serious illness. citing instances where this would, in his opin- ion, have resulted fatally. He says that in the last analysis the efficacy of any law depends on the question, What would the jury do?' believing the pro- posed amendment so drastic that no jury will enforce it.
 On the other side of the question w. P. Acker, a member of the law firm of Knox, Acker, Dixon 6 Blackmon. laughs at the objection to the proposed law on account of the absence of the penalty feature. stating that there are only few provisions in the constitution to which penalties are attached. He says that no legislature would undertake to repeal the existing laws if they are backed up by the constitution unless the members thereof are brought from the state in- sane asylum or the penitentiary.
 Due to the prominence of the opposing factions, the fight in this county prom ises to be most exciting

PLAN OF GA MPAIGN
 TO BE MAPPED OUT.
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF ANTI CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FORCES WILL MEET IN MONT GoMERY TOMORROW.

Montgomery, September 1s.-(Specia1.)- What plan of campaign will be mapped out when the executive committee of the nti-constitutionalists meets in this city Tuesday is problematical matter at the present time. First of all an organiza- ton, of course, will be effected, Col M P. IeGrand of Montgomery having been appointed temporary chairman only.
 J. Lee Long, campaign manager, was out of the city yesterday and today, but stated before leaving the city that no steps would be forecast with relation to the outcome of the session. However, it fs quite generally understood that steps will be taken to flood the state with lit- erature, and to arrange for debates against the amendment In every county seat No steps looking to these ends have yet been taken.
 The anti-amendment forces In Montgom- cry give out that stiff campaign" may be expected. In the Montgomery strong hold it is reported that some surprises are in store which will show the people of Alabama that the campaign which they are inaugurating is strictly a temper ance" campaign They hoot the sugges- tion that their fight is pro-liquor one. They add, moreover. that their fight Is quite the reverse. It is one for temper ance by gradation. They express them- selves as of the opinion that radical steps will be of no avail in enforcing morality.
 The personnel of the executive commit tee is one of the best of any organization in the state. The men. besides being well known. are recognized as leaders and the temperance element is of the opinion that all ends can best be met by leaving the fight entirely in their hands. This being the case, no advance information has been given out on the modus operandi.
