In choosing their successors it
seems to us that the stockholders
have chosen wisely, and that this in

satisfactory returns to investors, and
aiding the thrifty in accumulations
against the rainy period in life.

A resolution that an assessment of
$4,000 be made and raised by taxa
tion for the purpose of repairing Del
aware and Chestnut streets was talked
of and laid over until next meeting.
A resolution was offered that an as
sessment be made for $4,000 to be
raised by taxation to be used for an
extension of gas mains was carried.
Jester: move we adjourn
Judge Cox: Mr.. Mayor, I would like
to. say just one word with your per-
mission.
Mayor: Go ahead, but be brief.
Now, Mr.. Mayor and Council, said
the Judge, / must say | am surprised
that you have overlooked the two fires
that we have just had and raise S10,-
600 for streets and $4,000 more for gas
mains, and raise no money for fire
protection. This seemed to be enough
and everybody seemed to get fire
crazy, and forgot the Mayor was in
the insurance business. First the two
doctors seemed to differ on the water
supply. Then the water company got
busy and the Mayor and Council got
out leaving them all wrangIing. and
when it finished the water company
had the hall to themselves
Now your correspondent feels at
this time like asking the Councilman
who called a factory that has given
employment to from Is to 80 men for
40 years, (and never failed to pay
these men on Saturday night, a pest
house? What is a pest house? I
hardly believe that councilman knows.
And to think that very same man has
made his living from just such men
who have worked in that pest house
for these many years, and why did he
call this a pest house? Because this
man who has done more good for this
borough than any councilman Yes,
this very man, who is accused of
keeping a pest house, is respected in
every county in this State, and at no
time has refused to do good turn to
this borough. He has donated more
money and material to our fire com
panies than any other one man, and
not at one dollar clips either. And
when this man, who has manufactured
wagons for 40 years and done, bust
ness all over this State. is told to take
a back seat when he wants fire pro-
lection that belongs to him and every
other property holder in this borough
and the women folks of this very man
have carried water to put out fire that
has been left by this little council
man, who don't care D. who lives
just so he stays. Well Scott told
him about that pump and now let the
Board of Health act, and If they do
their duty they will act just for a
jester.

The meeting was held in the public school building, which was completely filled by the big crowd which came from all parts of the county to disprove the report that St. Clair county could easily be counted in the roll favorable to the defeat of the amendment
 Seventeen of the 23 beats in the county were represented and one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in St. Clair lasted for several hours and was brimfull of the expressed determination to register this county's vote In favor of the amendment on November %
 The noticeable feature of the meeting was the splendid cooperation and abso- lute harmony existing between the three political parties which have strong organ izations In St. Clair county. A great many of the recognized leaders of these parties were on hand and took an active part in the deliberations. All thought of past and probable future differences in matters political were put aside and ev- cry man present put himself, without re-

 the right to conduct themselves as they choose so long as their. conduct does not hurt anybody else. Individual lib- erty has been a characteristic of this government, ne cOnt1nueQ, from Ol0 colonial times. The tax on tea started the revolutionary war. The people of the colonies did not make their fight for liberty because of that little tea tax in truth, but they made war on the declara- tion of a wrong principle put in effect by England. that of taxation without repre- sentation."
 In conclusion, Judge Walker said: of, under the constitution the legislature has the right to designate homes as places the right also to invade your home to see that the law is observed? This amend ment would put you at the mercy of the missionary from Ohio I believe all that is necessary to defeat this proposition is for the people to come to realization of the exact meaning of the plain words of the amendment. Judge Weakley says they do not mean what they say How ever, those who read them know that they will mean the invasion of the home and there will be no freedom of action any where I do not believe that the people are ready for a surrender of this kind The legislature proposes to regulate your conduct In your own home and possibly later prescribe what you shall eat and wear. There will be no limit to the legislation that might be enacted. The tendency is entirely wrong to give a legislature unrestrained right to ,regu- late your private conduct. If the people show by their votes that they are ready for this, they are admitting that they are no longer capable of f-government and they ought to have a guardian to prescribe their conduct for them as if they were children

ABLE ARGUMENT
 BY JUDGE WALKER Huntsville Mans Striking Words on the Amendment MEANING OF SECTION 2 Can It Be Right to Use Wine In sacra- nent and Wrong to Manufacture
 Wine In Alabama For
 Such Use?

"The section section says: Moth ing in the constitution of Ala 3 bama shall be construed to pre- vent the legislature under the po- 3 lice power from designating places S where such liquors may not be 2 stored or kept Judge Weakley g says this section does not mean g this. In the future. provided this amendment is adopted and some
 2 case comes up in court for decis- ion and the second section is brought up. what will the court
 2 consider-what Judge Weakley
 2 says about it's meaning or will the words themselves be used? They explain that no legisla
 2 ture will make it unlawful to
 g keep liquor in the home, and the
 8 second section does not mean for this to be done. Considering our experience with the present legis-
 lature, will any one undertake to forecast what might be done oy g a legislature in the futureY- g Judge Richard W. Walker of 8 Huntsville, former associate jus 3 tice of the Alabama supreme court.

That Second Section.


 Don't deliberately surrender the rights that you now have under this constitution unless you are ready to change your form of government and be governed by a czar. If you have a friend on the other side, and I know you have, ask him the meaning. of the second section of the proposed amendment. Ask him If 1t Is ratified if the next legislature will not regard the vote of the people on this proposition as having siven the legislature the right to pass a law against the keeping of liquor in the homes of the people The legislature will cer- tainly regard a majority for this amend ment as an expression of the people s wish to have this drastic law enacted.
 "The legislatures of the various states make powerful thing of the police pow CT that is delegated to them. The higher courts have sustained these laws pre- suming such to be for the regulation of the communities where they are in effect and that majority of the peo- ple uphold them. So long as the laws enacted under the police power show this tendency, the courts will continue to sustain them, but when they under take to regulate the individual conduct of people the courts will say that such is not matter within the proper scope of legislative control. Our Alabama leg islature undertakes to change this prin- ciple and presumes to control mans most private conduct The legislature says you must be tetotaller because a ma jority of the legislature believe in the principle of tetotallism. It may not be that this majority of our legislature practice total abstinence, but that is what they claim to believe in and the people Of the state must regulate them selves accordingly"
 Judge Walker said the best way to fight the amendment is for every nan to call the attention of his friends now in favor of it to the plain meaning of the second section. Making 1t a part of the constitution will mean the de- liberate surrender by the citizens of

NEW COUNTY JAIL
 AT TUSCALOOSA Dodson 6 Co. of Montgomery AreAWarded Contract PLAN OF RE TRENCH MENT Town Is Running Behind In Expense Account-cuts Must Be Made Somewhere-county Is Against
 the Amendment.
PLAN OF INFRINGEMENT

Tuscaloosa, October 9-(special) )--After going over bids here for several days with numerous contractors awaiting their decision. the board of county commits sions and the board of public works have finally awarded the contract for the erec- ton of the new jail to F. NJ Dodson & Go. of Montgomery. It will be re- membered that the present jail was con- demned by Jail Inspector Bush some time ago andthe county ordered to erect a new one and locate it in a more sani- tary quarter. That is, in quarter where more light and air would be afforded
 The location decided on by the com missioners was the lot directly west of the new courthouse. This lot is quite narrow one and the location of the jail there will necessitate the erection of the east wall of the building within 15 or 20 feet of the new courthouse. For this reason the proposition of locating the jail at this place was strenously opposed by many citizens. However, 1t was de- terrnined to locate 1t here rather than purchase a new lot.
 Among those bidding for the Jail were Carson & Tetherow of Birmingham, B. c. Bynum Construction company of Birmingham, Pauly Jail Building com- pany of St. Louis, and the Blue Ridge Construction company of Asheville, N. c. The building, according to the success full bid of F. NJ. Dodson & Co.,, is to cost sao, 900.
 At the regular monthly meeting of the council held here this week a more rigid plan of retrenchment was deter mined upon. It appeared from the report of the finance committee that the city was running far ahead monthly of its income and that as the last of the money due the city from the recent issue of the water works bonds was needed to pay last months expenses it would be ab- solutely necessary to cut off expenditures.
 The finance committee was appointed a special committee to recommend what cuts could consistently be made and to estimate limited budget for each month In which the city should keep down ex- penditures.
 At this meeting also an ordinance was passed requiring cement WALKS 10 De laid on the entire length of Eighth street. Assessments for other work like this all ready completed were made final and or dered to be assessed against property owners proportionately to their frontage.
 The outcome of the amendment cleo ton causes considerable talk on the streets in Tuscaloosa. So far, the cam paign has progressed free from bitter ness in this county and 1t is thought 1t will proceed along temperate lines. AS to how the county will go in the cleo tion, estimates can be got for both sides. However, conservative men say that &C., cording to the present condition of senti ment the county is opposed to its adoption by a good majority. The results of the campaign may change conditions siderably, but reports from most of the country beats show that the sentiment of the county is at least opposed to it at first blush.
