 speak at Eclectic, Weldon's store and Taliassee. Mir. Smith will speak at Eclectic.
 Mir. Smith was given a hearty re- ception at Seaman this afternoon. where he spoke against the amend ment. He addressed about 200 voters and forty or fifty ladies.
 In introducing MT. Smith, Dr. O. s, Justice apologized for a political meeting during this busy season, but said the election had been forced upon the people by Governor Conner and his Legislature.
 MT Smith showed that the proposed amendment was full of politics and that Governor Conner and Judge Weak ley hoped to profit by it. He spoke of the empty state treasury and the increased taxes put on the people.
 The search of Alabama homes was exploited and an allusion was made to the statement that only friends of the amendment were to be appointed by Governor Conner as jury commits sioners.
 Mir. Smith declared that it had been demonstrated already that under the drastic laws the making of blackber- ry cordials or persimmon beer would subject an Alabama woman to heavy penalties.
 Rev. MT. Kimble who came from Greyer's school house. where the Gov ernor spoke this afternoon. said he had an audience made up largely of women and children. He said that not more than twenty voters were present.
 Tonight at Seaman Governor Conner was heard by about $50 persons the audience being made up largely of women and children.
 Rev. A J. Holman introduced the Governor who made characteristic appeal for the amendment.
 The Governor seemed to want to stress the search warrant feature of the new laws. He dwelt on the search made of the Nelson home in Mobile, declaring that Nelson was a criminal.
 His speech was a defense of his ad- ministration and the Legislature, and an appeal for the amendment.
