The Healing
 POlDer Of Pine


 If you have ever taken a walk through . forest of pine trees you will remember how, almost unconsciously, the head wac thrown back and lungs expanded as you inhaled with long. deep brssths the glorious pfne-laden air. How invigorating 1t was--how heaiinG.
 The medieinai virtues of pine have been recognized in medicinal practice for many years. For coughs and colds the mixture of two ounces of Glycerine with . half ounce of Virgin oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whiskey. is highly recommended |. It is claimed that @ teaspoonfui of this mixture four times q day. will break cold in twenty.four hours and cure any cough that is curable. The ingredients are not expensive and can be bought in any good drugstore, the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure being put up for dispensing only by the Leach Chemical Go. Cincinnati.

wRAY IS DISMISSED.
VIII Not Be Prosecuted for Freeman's
 Death.


 Birninghamb. Nov. S.--(Speclal.)--- The case against Richard ewray. charg- ed with the murder of George Free man, an artist, several years ago. was mol pressed in the Criminal Court to- day. many of the witnesses being re- ported absent.
 The killing occurred in the house of a woman of the town on South Twen- tieth Street. Wray. Freeman, Mat thews. the baseball catcher, and some other men. with some women. were having an all night carousal. A pis- tol shot rang out and little later Freeman was picked up dead.
 wray was arrested. charged with the murder. There was a hard legal fight, and wray was kept in jail for months.
 Then a trial followed and Wray was convicted and sentenced to ten years in the penltentiary. An appeal was taken and the Supreme Court reversed and remanded the case, Then the de- fendant got out on bond and attempts to have a second trial were in vain.
 wray Is highly connected in Tennes- see, members of his family being in public life, 6 brother-in-law being for years in the Legislature. He is known in Nashville, Bristol and other parts of Tennessee as we'll as throughout Alabama.

ers--issusd his ringing statement In expedition to the amendment.
 Surely such scandaious charges as the Birmingham newspaper makes aeainst the white citizenship of Ala bamA. unsupportsd by pfoof." said m anti-anaendmsnt leader ysstsrday. @can but have the effect of a boomerang. The purpose of the article is plain to me. For several days 1t had been rumored that the two United etatee Senators and . few of the unannounced coneressmen would be out against the amsndment The leading newspaper advocating the amendment viewed with alarm the disaster to their forces which must follow the opposition of Senators Johnston and Bankhead to the amendment. And every effort must be exerted to forestaii the inter- views of the Senators.
 "Then. in my mind. the fabrications about fsIush fund got their start. The usual supply of mud. such as 'whisksy heads' and ssafoonatics' had failed of anti arnendists repelied such charges So . stupendous step must be taken. The fake stories followed but bore the exact opposite fruit. Instead of weak. euing the cause of the defenders of the constitution, the wild charges only served to hastsn the stampede of the amenders. There was never . greater addition to the ntf-arnendists' than during the very time that the desperate publications of an alisged corruption fund were appearing in flaming head lines. I predict that oil such mis- representations will react against the cause of the side advancing them"
 Effecf Noted.
 Reports from visitors at headquar- ters yesterday were all to the effect that the stand taken by the two United states Senators of this state had solfdi- fled the defenders ranks. They were happy. too. over the announcement of Congressman Craig. over the letter of Colonel Bush and over the expected stand on the same side by Congress- man Clayton.
 A visitor from Baldwin county at the capitol yesterday told one of the officials of the winning results of Minette. Said he: T was literally surprised at the effect of Mir. Dents address. I had about concluded that the campaign had reached stage where speeches were making no changes The people seemed to have made up their minds and were long ing for the time of the election so they could get down to business--now an irnpossibility while the heat of the con- flict is on. But not so. saw no less than three persons In the Bay Minette audience. who during Mir. Dents speech. reached up and pulled from the iapels of their coats the white ribbons which had been pinned there. Bald win county will so fhrse to one against the amendment"
 Similar expressions were heard from other visitors about their respective counties.

DEFENDERS ARE FIGHTING HARD

Promised invasion into the ranks of the defenders of the Consultation by the amenders party does not appear to be coming along. and this. with the election less than three weeks off. It win be recalled that when the amend srs started in with their state organ isation. they predicted that the defend CTS had gone about their work too early in the campaign. and that they and easily undo all the anti-amend- naent leaders had accomplished up to that time.
 The situation at the present time, as reported from the headduaraers of the defenders. would go to show that there has been no inroads made on their strength. It would seem to go further than this. and clearly indicate. as far as prediction information can, that the anti-amendment people of this State are farther ahead at the present time than they have been at any pe- riod of the campaign. and their early estimates that the amendment will be defeated has been considerably strengthened.
 One of the ciearest general indica- tions Of this is the success the anti amendment speakers are meeting with everywhere throughout the State. Sat- urday was a strenuous time for theae speech-makers, yet there is not a re- port that does not show that every where they were accorded large audi ences and that they were vigorously applanded. .,..
 The early reports of these meetings of Saturday came by telegraph and long distance wires. Monday a mum. Der of these speakers came to Mont gomery and tarried for awhile before departing for ether places, where they are to speak. In not a single instance according to the leaders at the anti. amendment campaign headquarters. were these earlier reports contra dicted, but instead they were much strengthened. and, In some instances it was shown that reports rather un- der estimated the number of people who turned out to greet the speakers and to applaud them in their fight for the preservation of the sanctity of A1abama home.
 M senatOR Talks. i One of the first of the speakers to arrive at headquarters yesterday was Senator Max Hamburger. who was passing through here after q tour of some Of the northern counties. on his way to points in South Alabama. The Senator said that from what he had seen of the crowds where he had been privileged to talk, and from the ex- pressions of the people. North Alabama ts opposed to the amendment and will give Q substantial majority against 1t November 2S, He said he had gone into some of the counties of North Ala bama with the understanding that they were doubtful: he had come out from there with the absolute certainty. according to his judgment. that there
