CHILTON COUNTY IS EASILY
 AGAINST THE AMENDMENT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)

-- "The light in the Window" The death of the mother of the tale very nearly moved some of the audience to tears. Judge Denson scoffed at the idea that the proposed amendment will take away constitutional rights, and referred to q famous decision of the supreme court which declares that the operation of a brewery was not 8 right guaranteed by the constitution.
 He then told stories of young men in cities being tempted by strong drink. He told of a young couple whose promise of happiness was shattered by strong drink He stressed the danger that sur rounds the sons of the farmers when they go to the city to make mark for themselves.
 lgnorea Fulton Bill.
 Then he said:
 T haven't touched the Fuller bill. It has nothing to do with the fight for the amendment. It is entirely irrelevant"
 About the second section of the amend ment, he said:
 Tn this section is there anything about searching homes? Carmichael and WeaA- ley have given explanations. Whether or not these explanations are accurate l have nothing to say. But in this section no reference, as you see, is made to the homes of the people,"
 At another time he said: "The Cover nor called the legislature in extra ses- sion-Whether wisely or unwisely, l have nothing to say, etc."
 In reference to the law of search and seizure he declared such a law had ex- isted since Alabama was a state. He de- tended that law, Illustrating his point by imagining that he had stolen $l000 worth of diamonds from the local jewelry store and had turned them over to W. 1. Null lins. He argued that the officers would have a perfect right to search the home of Mir Mullins.
 Homes in which liquor Is sold," he added, should be searched"
 He made no reference to the homes wherein liquor is not kept for sale and which the anti-amendment forces contend are endangered.
 They (spealxing of the opposition D the amendment) charge that we are con- trolled by the women and the preachers. 1 would rather take my orders from the women and preachers" he said, than from the brewers and the beer trust.
 T am earnestly in favor of the amend ment. I wouldn't recognize my boys f they were opposed to it. But they are not. They have stated their opposition on grounds of reason, and have declared another argument for their support, the fact that their old father is upholding the issue"
 Before concluding, Judge Denson, an swering some voice inquiring concern ing the search and seizure clauses cried out:
 q trust to God the homes will be searched, if they've got whisky in them"
 Judge kDenson then repeated the little poem which told of the need of strong and fearless men In moments of great emer gency. In view of the fact that the op- position to the amendment charges that there are certain men working for the amendment for political reasons-Comer, Weakley, Seed, Mallory and others-the feciting of this line attracted attention; Men whom the spells of office cannot
 buy"

triumphs have been gained the
steps of progress have been
marked for mankind. The day
of the pillory and the stake are
past; but not less do the friends
of human freedom need to raise
their voices In it's defence. Pre-
judice, ignorance and supersti-
tion yet have their votaries, and
their insidious weaponsare keener
than sword. There are those who
would still WELD with relentless
fury, these weapons of proscrip-
tion that in their effect are more
deadly to human happiness and
freedom than the Stake. To such,
be they Catholic or Protestant.

compromise, no trucking. no
submission. Let the truth be

Big TAX GAIRiA DURHAM.
Now More Than $4,000, 100000 Says
Books for 1909.

Register of Deeds M. G. Mark
ham has completed the making
up Of the tax books for the year
1909 and the property gain this
year over that of 1903, is 81, 104,-
151.
Of real and personal property
there were found $18, SAP, SAT. AS
compared with the books Of last
year, there is more than gain
of 81, 100, 900 and last year show
ed more than a million increase.
In each year, however, there was
a noticeable loss in certain prop
critics. Last year it was freely
predicted that there would be a
general falling off because the
American Tobacco company's
valuations were not so high as
they had been the year before.
This year the corporation excess
drops $3.50, 600 caused by the cor
poration commissions figures on
the Erwin cotton mill properties.
These last year were placed at
81 ,673, 131, while this year the
commission gives them valua-
zion of 1892, ,003. There is some
thing like $100, 900 corporation
excess of another kind included
in these figures.
