 there will be boiled in that county O large majority of the votes against the amendment, and from reports they are receiving from the northern part
 of Alabama. there appears to be little doubt that at the present time the pro- amendment people are beaten.

 we'll here while I have been away, and I am sure I can now safely say that
 we are well organized for the work that Is ahead of us" Arrangements have been perfected for special rates on all railroads to Birmingham for the mass meeting. ac- cordinE to MT. Long.

 spectacular campaign feats ever pulled off in the South.
