Cheerfulness and Mirth.

Il have always preferred cheerful
ness to mirth. The latter / consider
as an act. the former as a habit of the
mind. Mirth Is short and transient,
cheerfulness fixed and permanent
Those are often raised into the great
est transports Of mirth who are sub.
1ect to the greatest depressions Of mel
ancholy. On the contrary, checrfulness,
though 1t does not give the mind such
exquisite gladness, prevents us from
railing into any depths Of sorrow
Mirth Is like fash of lightning that
breaks through gloom of clouds and
glitters for a moment; cheerfulness
keeps up kind Of daylight i'm the
mind and fills It with steady and per.
petual serenity. Joseph Addison.

~ Of Men who WIN Garry ArEu-

SECTIONS Of the stste
Of Alabama.

More than a hundred public speeches
VIII be delivered today by orators de-
tondinr the constitution and opposing
the proposed amendment to the con-
skitufion. The Birmingham and Mont
wor1ery headquarters have listed the
largest number Of political speakers
for today than ever spoke on any one
day 10 any campaign OF recent years
I'M Alabama.
Saturday Is the day chosen for the
anti-amendment speakers, and the
managers OF the campaign against the
amendment propose to make every Sat
urday between now and election day
field. day for the opposition. Abso-
1utely confident that the amendment Is
beaten, the managers of the anti
amendment forces propose to redouble
their EFFORTS in the final three weeks
OF the campaign and make the major
ity against IL so one-sided that never
again In Alabama will this particular
issue be raised.
From several quarters peculiar and
unique political plan of the amenders
has been reported. 1t has been re-
ported to headquarters that voters
have been asked to scratch out the sec
ond section Of the amendment and
vote syess to the first section. The
amendment will be printed on the ON
ciaI ballot in full. the second section
a. well as the first section. The Sec
nnd section, with its danger to the
homes, lie opposed by number OF
voters, who, in It's absence, might vote
for the frst section.
Several lawyers declare positively
that the voter can not scratch one sec
tion and legally vote for the other.
IN fact, tails is generally agreed upon.
Still. as has been pointed out, there
Is no provision for a contest. which
gives the election managers consider
able power. II the managers should
be favorable to the amendment they
might decide that a pro-amendment
vote which scratch ed the second section
was legal, according to their way Of
thinking and count 1t.
Certainly a number OF voters have
been advised to vote so. watch would
indicate that the pro-amendment peo-
pie are becoming seriously concerned
over the situation as 1t now exists.
But the anti-amendment leaders and
the election managers have been in
