RUMoRs ARE LESS
COUNCIL SITUATION AWAITS RE-
 TERN OF GUNTER.
Speculation Limited To The Man Who Will Succeed Recorder Baber -Mayor-elect Expected
 Home Today.

Municipal circles were quiet yester- day on the fate of the Saul ordinance. It was rumored that Mayor-elect Cas- ton Gunter was to arrive from his Canadian trip during the morning. con- sequently political circles were alert for words which would pour oil on the troubled waters" MT. Gunter. however, did not arrive.
 Rumor about dark again stated that the mayor-elect would return to Montgomery at 10 o'clock last night. but again rumor proved false, as MT. Gunter when last heard of was in Buffalo, N. Y. It was learned. how ever, that his brothers expect him back this morning.
 Although rumors on the Saul ordi- nance were hushed. much gossip was talked relative to the race for City Recorder. By the elimination of Dr. Saul alderman from Ward Seven. from the race, the matter has narrowed down to two candidates, present Recorder Baber, and Ludlow Fillmore.
 Some days ago there were four per sons in the race for the plum: Record CT Baber Ludlow Fillmore, Alderman Saul and Alderman elect Letcher. Yesterday MT. Letcher withdrew from the race, and yesterday afternoon Alderman Saul announced that he would no longer contend for the place.
 It was rumored that with the with drawaI of Alderman Saul Recorder Baber was certain of re-appointment It Is stated that there are at least ten aldermen of the new council who will vote solidly for the re-appointment of MT. Baber. It is expected that with the return of Gaston Gunter. Ludlow Fillmore will drop out of the race, leav- ing the field to Baber unopposed.

D. ID. CARMICHAEL SPEAKS FOR
 THE AMENDMENT.
Tn Address At Enterprise He Praises Conner, and Crfticises The Ad- vertiser and Messrs. Me-
 Cord and Farmer.

Enterprise, Sept. 9-(Special.)-At the court house last night O. D. Car michael addressed a large audience composed of men. women and children favoring the constitutional amend ment.
 tation of the organization recently formed in the interest of the amend- ment and he was given a cordial wei come. His speech was heartily endors- ed by the enthusiastic supporters of the amendment here.
 MT. Carmichael was introduced by Hon. W. s. Edwards, Mayor or Enter prise.
 The speaker, after paying tribute to the people of Enterprise. and the women, went into his subject and spoke at length upon whiskey and the evils of the traffic. He said he was a prohibitionist, was glad he was, and glad that he could advocate the cause in supporting the proposed amend ment; that 1t was not political ques- tion; that 1t was simply a question of morals and whiskey or no whiskey. He admonished his hearers to always look upon the arguments of the opposition through the eye-glass of one proposi- ton, and that is for prohibition or against prohibition.
 He said 1t was not a question of en- uOFSlnB the conner auH1inlStrdtlOn, put he praised the administration for It's work. He said that the old soldiers had gotten more money during this ad- ministration that they had ever receiv- ed under any other. He referred to the condition of the State Treasury. but stated it was not question of money. 1t was one higher than money.
 He spoke against The Advertiser and other papers opposing the amend ment and specifically referred to Leon McCord and B. G. Farmer of the op- position. He said the other side had no argument, but as soon as they come to the real question of principle involved they avoid 1t, and go after politics. If putting the amendment in the Constitution did not stop agita- tion, 1t would tend to do 1t, he said.
 The address consumed about two hours. and the speaker was vehement at times in the use of terms against those who opposed the cause of prohib- ition, as he viewed the present ques> tion.
 Interest against the amendment is aggressively manifested here.

 Gordo, Sept. 9-(Special.) )-The Un- ion Baptist Association, representing some forty Baptist Churches. in an- nual session at Gordo. went on record last night as favoring the adoption of the prohibition amendment to the Con- stitution.
 The annual report on temperance was read by Hon. M. E. Curry, Of Carrollton. The report contained an endorsement of all the prohibition measures and urged the people to en- force the present prohibition laws. and requested every Christian and moral voter to work for the adoption of the proposed amendment to. the Constitu- tion.
 MT. Curry delivered an able address in behalf of the. amendment.
 He was followed by Rev. E. P. Smith, of Attalla, the campaign mana . ger for the prohibitionIsts in this county two years ago. Mir Smith se- verely criticised the Safe and Sane the greatest interest at stake--the business men or the brewers and dis tillers. He declared that large sums of money are being spent for adver> Using matter. postage and office hire, and said he believed the brewers were PA Rev J. b. Ray. of Birmingham. de- IlVeTeu u ringing SpCCOh anu S0'N S""~ Jefferson County would roll up a ma jority for the amendment.
 pr. D. O. Baird. of Reform. said the amendment was in danger of defeat through the general indifference and over-confidence of the pronibitionists. He urged the preachers and women to begin an aggressive campaign at once.
 Rev. L. W. Young. pastor of the Gordo Methodist Church. was invited to speak. MT. Young predicted victory and made a plea for the voters to re- member the children when they cast their ballots.
 The great interest of the people in the proposed amendment was shown when people were turned away from the doors of the churches. k
 At the close of the speaking, Mir. Robertson, the Moderator. requested every man who expected 10 vote for constitutional prohibition to stand up. Every man arose except three.
 The newspapers opposed to pro- hibition came In for some criticism.

FRIEND FLEEs FRIENDS
 FOLLOWING RECOGNITION

E. H, Strother was arrested last night on suspicion. The arrest was made at the request of Charles Dren- non and F. G. Wimbish, both of whom recently came to Montgomery from Florida. Drennon and Wimbish say that Strother stole some articles of clothing and a watch from them in Pensacola, Fla.
 The alleged theft occurred about two months ago and immediately thereafter Strother disappeared from Pensacola.

Instead of meeting his Pensacola friends with joy. took to his heels. and 1t was only after a long chase that he was over taken by Drennon and turned over to a policeman.

Attorney General Garber is taking good care that the journals of the Senate and House pass inspection this time. At the request of Governor Co., mer, he is checking up the Senate Journal. and following the clerks in their work.
 More care is being exercised over the records of the extra session than probably followed any legislative ses- sion of recent memory. Gaining ex- perience from the errors which crept in during the compilation of the jour nal of the 1907 extra session. the State officials and clerks are exercising every precaution.
 A resolution was passed by both the Senate and the House to the effect that competent person be employed to check up the Journals after the clerks had completed them. The Attorney General Is performing this duty. al- though in his capacity as a public ofii- cer. and not as special employe.
