TALLADEGA HEARS
 SOME QUESTIONS
MELDERRY SUBMITS SOME INTER ESTING ANSWERS TO SERIES OF QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FULLER BILL.

Ta1ladega, September 25.-(Special)-The following circular has been distributed on Talladegas streets this morning, show ing that the amendment fight is on in earnest in this city:
 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
 To your question, "Where does a liquor nuisance case have to be tried under the Fuller bill?" l answer, in the county where it is charged the nuisance exists.
 To the question, If a man allows his wife to make home made wine in any roo nor structure on his premises, can his home be declared liquor nuisance? I answer, it can.
 To the question, If a man knowingly assents to his wife using any room or structure on his premises to make home- made wine, can she be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 and be put to hard labor not less than six nor more thar twelve months?' I answer, she can.
 To the further question, "If a man knowingly assents to his wife making homemade wine on his premises can he be fined the same as the wife and put to hard Jabor?" I answer. he can.
 To the question, If man knowingly as- sents to his tenant using his premises to manufacture, sell or keep beverage pro- hibited by law, can a mans premises be declared a liquor nuisance?" l answer. 1t can. To the question. "Is a mans right 10 appeal to a grand jury denied him in liquor cases?" l answer, it Is.
 To the question, "Is man right of trial by jury denied him under the Fuller bill. if a warrant is sued out to be tried be- fore judge court having no jury?' 1 answer, it is. Under section 32 of tho Fuller bill 1t is provided that man who is charged with violating the provis- ions of the bill, Shall not have the right to demand that grand jury shall prefer indictment for the alleged offense:" and 1t is further provided he shall not have the right to demand trial by petit jury if the caSe is before a court not having juries.
 Under tho Fuller bill if Christ were in Alabama, and he did here what was done at Cana of Gallilee, he would be fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 and could be placed breaking rock for the county not less than six nor more than twelve months.
 If such conduct could be meted out to our Saviour, have we any reason to think, if this legislature was given power under the second section of the proposed proposed amendment to make it a crime to keep even homemade wine or cordial in the house. that they would hesitate t4 do it?
 When officers are paid special fees to search our houses, have we any reason to believe they will not do so?
 My liberty loving countrymen, I beg of you stop and consider, lest we not only bankrupt our, country but plunge it into turmoil and rloting.

 ciation.

MIR. CHARLES @. WOODWARD
Appointed Manager of E. E. Forbes
 Piano Company.

MT. Charles G. Woodward has recently accepted the position as manager of the E. E. Forbes Piano company. His suc- cessful career in music began with his appointment, when years of age, as chorister in St. Lukes church in Balti- more. There he remained six years, dur ing which time he enjoyed the instructions of such leaders in their profession as Harrington. Norf and Mortimer. In 1885 the Church of Our Saviour of Baltimore appointed him organist and choirmaster. Three years later he filled similar posi- tions with St. Georges church and St. Bartholomew's.
 In 1882 Messrs. George Willig & Co.,, proprietors of the oldest music estab- lishment in America, offered MT. Wood ward a position with the firm. The offer was accepted to the mutual benefit of em- ployers and employee, for MT. Woodward early demonstrated his valuable equip ment, both from a business and musical standpoint. The house was not tardy in recognizing this worth, for they advanced him rapidly, and when he left there in 1891, to become the manager of the Wash ington house, Sanders & Stayman, he was the firms confidential man. The business of Sanders & Stayman was soon brought to a high standard, and MT. Woodward's success became universally known. He remained manager of that business until 1900, when he accepted an offer to locate in California. After re- maining there several years he returned to the east and accepted management of the A. V. Grimes business in Washing ton. D. C., from which place he came to accept his present position

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
 MORGAN COUNTY
EVIDENT THAT AMENDMENT FIGHT WILL BE CLOSE-CAM- PAIGN WILL BEGIN IN EARNEST EARLY IN OCTOBER.

Decatur September 25.-(Special.)-The anti-amendment people are claiming that this county will go against the prohibi- ton amendment by at least two to one. They say that they have taken poll of the county. with the exception of the Hartselle beat, and two or three other beats in the county, and that this poll shows that the amendment in the county will be defeated This poll they say, ln- cludes Decatur and New Decatur.
 On Saturday, October 9, Hon. John B. Knox of Anniston, president of the late constitutional convention of Alabama, will speak in Hartselle against the amend ment. But the antis will will not really open their campaign in this county until Saturday, October g, when a meeting will be held in Decatur and some six or eight speakers from over the state will be present and speak against the amendment. These speakers have not as yet been named
 The prohibitionists are claiming tho county by a safe majority. They claim that 95 per cent of the men who voted for prohibition will vote for the adoption of the amendment Should this be true this county would give a good majority for the amendment. The prohibitionists have called a meeting to be held at he' county courthouse in Decatur on the night of September 7 Tae following mo- tice has been sent out over the county "Al the friends of prohibition are re- quested to attend a meeting at the court house in Decatur Monday night, Septem- Der 27, at 7:3O o'clock for the purpose of organizing a county campaign for the adoption of the constitutional amendment to be voted on November 29, 1909. This Is important. Come without fail Yours re- spectfully, SAMUEL BLACKWELL,
 ID. F. GREEN,
 "A. A ODEN,
 "W. J, NESBIT,
 "A. G. PATTERSON"
 While both the prohibitionists and the antis are claiming this county it cannot be said at this time with any degree of certainty how the county will go.

BAPTIST MEETING
 COMES TO CLOSE

Meridian, September 25.-(Special.) The Lauderdale County Baptist asso- citation, after an interesting three days session, adjourned this after noon.
 The closing session was devoted to a discussion of the state board of missions which was led by Dr. A. V. Powe of Winona, while Dr. Carter, superintendent of the Baptist orphan age at Jackson, discussed this branch of the church work A distinct fea- ture of the meeting was the unani- nous adoption of a resolution con- demning in no uncertain language the open violation of the Sunday closing law in Meridian. The resolution charges that these violations ceased during the sitting of the recent grand jury and were resumed shortly after the grand jury adjourned. All the delegates to the association express confidence that Meridian will capture the State Female college if the Bap- tist convention which meets In Octo- Der at Winona decides to establish such an institution.

PAR RECEIVED FOR
 GADSDEN BONDS
TWO ISSUES AGGREGATlNG $95,- 900 PlACED-AGED WOMAN DIES. JAIL BOND ELECTION MONDAY. FARMERS MEET.

Gadsden, September -(Speciall-At a special session of the city council last night the sale of the bonds for the paw ing of the business section of the city was ratified. The bonds are for the sum of 1000 and were sold to the First Ma tional Bank of Cleveland, o. The sale was made at par The council also sold to the same parties the bonds of the city in the sum of s5O,O00 for the purpose of paying all the floating indebtedness of the municipality that has accumulated through a period of years and which has hereto fore been carried by the local banks. This will allow of a general liquidation of all obligations and give the, city a new start.
 Mrs. Eliza Freeman, believed to be at least 100 years old, and one of the pioneers of this city, died last night at the home of her daughter, Mrs. s. D. Stallings. near Murraycross. Mrs. Freeman was native of South Carolina and when quite small child was caught in a flood with other members of the family and was the only one rescued. Because of this circumstance her exact age is not known. The deceased is survived by three sons and one daughter. Funeral was held to- day at Murraycross.
 The mass meeting of union farmers was held here today as scheduled. The meet ing was held behind closed doors and nothing was given out for publication. There were some 50 farmers in attend ance from all parts of the county.
 On Monday there will be two elections held here, one to decide the question of issuing $20,000 worth of jail bonds for the construction of a new county jail and the other to give the residents of out lying territority an opportunity to come into the city. It seems certain that the jail bonds will carry as there is ap- parently no alternative for the county but to provide a new prison. The question of incorporating additional territory with the city has its supporters pro and con and the outcome is very uncertain. The new territory sought to be incorporated is that adjacent to the steel plant where much improvement is now in progress.
 The Consolidated Coal and Iron com- pany is preparing to install a concentra- tor at its local plants to separate slate from the ore. The engineers of the con- pany are at present engaged in making the plans and work of construction is to be started as soon as these are ready. The plant will cost S30,000 and will effect a great saving in smelting.

GOVERNOR WRITES
 TO SHERIFF SHIP
ASSUMES PRESUMPTION THAT PROHIBITION LAW IS NOT BE- ING ENFORCED IN MORGAN COUNTY.

Decatur. September 25.-(Special. )-Sher- if Thomas R. Shipp received a letter this morning from Gov. B. B. Conner tell ing him that he must see to it that the state prohibition laws are enforced in this county. It seems that the governor takes 1t for granted that the prohibition laws are being violated in this county and he has taken 1t upon himself to notify Sheriff Shipp that these alleged viola tions must cease. Friends of Sheriff Shipp say that he has done and is doing all the law requires of him to do. Just what action Sheriff Shipp will take in regard to the governors instructions remains to b. seen.
 A few days ago Sheriff Shipp told one of the members of the Law and Order league that he was at any time ready td serve any warrants against alleged viola. tors of the prohibition laws that he or any one might see fit to swear out. So far no warrants have been sworn out against any one.

PIKE COUNTY WILL EASILY :.
 GO AGAINST AMENDMENT
By WALTER HARPER.

Troy. September 25.-(Special )-There is no question but that Pike county. one of the most prosperous and highly refined in the state, will give an overwhelming ma- jority against the adoption of the pro- posed prohibition constitutional amend ment.
 I talked to people today in all walks of life and degrees of thinking, and there can be no doubt of this result. The ma jority is estimated all the way from three to four to one.
 The County and city officials almost without exception are against the amend ment. I talked with farmers from all parts of the country and every beat is re- ported strongly against the measure. Even those who favor the amendment ad

init that Pike county will go against it.
 Many of the strongest prohibtionists in the city of Troy and county of Pike are against the amendment, and are out in the field talking and working They arr que that they see no special connection in this fight and a fight for prohibition. These people are sick of the political domination and excess of power that is being exercised by would-be officeholders and greedy politicians.
 If south Alabama is to be judged by the temperament of this county the amend ment people have little with which to con sole themselves. Editor H. T. Brown of the Troy Herald said today that Pike county is fair example of public feeling in this section of the state. He says peo- pie are very much alike everywhere and the things that Pikeites will do other peo- pie are apt to do.
