 Improvement Bill.

With the enthusiasm which has always characterized the men whose lives have been given to battle for right and liberty, fully 200 Confederate veterans of Jefferson county met in the auditorium of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday after noon and condemned the proposed amend ment to the constitution, adopted resolu- tions expressing their convictions and jumped actively into the campaign. Veterans of clear brain and even voice put all their strength and soul into their appeal and the auditorium became once more a battle field in a war for states rights.
 Governor Sims called the meeting to or der and on his motion Capt. John c. Smith, commander of Camp Hardee, was made the presiding officer by unani- nous vote and N. A. Stuart was chosen secretary. Captain Smith addressed his old comrades in a fitting and telling speech, recalling the thrilling and bloody scenes through which they passed from 1861 to 1865 and emphasizing the fact that they are again battling for the rights and privileges for which they then fought He urged them to move forward with the same zeal and the same disposition to con- quer in the defeat of the amendment. He was loudly applauded.
 This resolution committee was then ap- pointed W. B. Leedy. chairman; W. H. Sims, J. K. P. Lacey, Samuel Ullman and J. c. Maben and while it was prepar- ing it's report short and effective speeches were made by Governor Sims, Gen. Fred S. Ferguson, Col. J. F. B. Jackson and Col. N. D. Johnson.
 Speeches of Determination.
 Governor Sims first made general ex- position of the status of the fight now before the people of Alabama. He was glad to hear that Captain Smith, com mander of Camp Hardee, had tried to keep politics out of the camp, but we have met here today as citizens as well as soldiers. We were citizens before we were soldiers, and we have a right to express our views We are here to enter our solemn protest against the amend ment not to argue, because the question has been presented by many orators and in our papers"
 He reviewed the amendment enacted in other states, especially in Maine, calling attention to the report of W. B. Leedy, who has recently spent much time in Maine, and declaring this sufficient evil dence that constitutional prohibition will not accomplish good. He advocated agita- ton on the subject of temperance, as evil denced by the great good that blessed body of women. the w. c. T. U., has ac- complished. Everyone knows that there is less liquor drunk today in proportion to the population than when we were boys
 He referred to the drastic prohibition laws now on the statute books. the fact that the amendment pears no penalty and affirmed that the people can always get the legislation they want by eIecting the proper officials.
