SMITHS ADDRESS
 WINS MANY VOTES
IT IS BELIEVED NOW THAT SUM- TER COUNTY WILL GIVE A MA JoRITY AGAINST THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

Livingston, October 13.-(Special.) )--Since the address of A. G. Smith of Birming- ham yesterday against the adoption of the constitutional amendment there has been moro discussion of the question than usual in and about the town. It is freely conceded that the county will be close, but since listening to the discussion of MT. Smith many of those who had hith- erto been lukewarm amendment men and those who were undecided have expressed themselves as against the amendment. MT. Smith argued the utter folly of change in the constitution of this nature at the present time, and there is no doubt but that his address has done much to put Sumter county in the anti-amend- ment column.
 Circuit court opened Monday for the fall term, Judge s. H. Sprott presiding. The docket Is very light and the indica- tions are that court will adjourn by the middle of next week
