the woman should stand supreme.

Among the callers at the headauar-

day was Hon. Byrd Farmer, OF Hous-

astically about the situation In his
county. stating that the sentiment
against the proposed. amendment was
at fever heat. ana that there was
nothing those who are In favor OF the
amendment could do would change
this sentiment. He expressed the opin-
ion that his county would go over
wheimingiy against the amendment.
Another caller was J. W. Dantzier.
of Autaugaf county, the same county
from which the father Of the consti-
tutional amendment bill introduced at
the special session Of the legislature
came
Mr.. pantzier said there Is no fear
about his county giving large vote
for the amendment, but that instead.
II wceld be found that the voters were
unalterably opposed to changing the
constitution Of the State. He declar-
ed that the movement against the
amendment was growing In strength
every day. and that II would continue
SO to do until the final vote was taken.

good men in each of the sixty-seven
counties, of plunging through several
hundred applications and recommended
tions, of long distance telephoning. and
then some.
The Governor will leave Montgom-

gin a long itinerary Of public speak

The John jury bill provides that the

Governor is in a hurry.

shall meet on the first Monday in
October, or as soon thereafter as prac-

selection.
