ANTS STRONG IN
NORTH ALABAMA
Lawrence County Alone Is
Considered Doubtful
sKtGGs is CONFIDENT
Judge Richardson's Announcement Car
ries Much Weight For Defenders,
Who Are Rapidly Gaining
Strength.

Decatur, November 20.-(Special PRO-
bate Judge William e. Skeggs of Deca-
tur has just returned from a tour Of the
eastern part of the county where he made
a number of speeches against the adop-
ton of the proposed prohibition amend
ment to the state constitution. Judge
Skeggs says that everywhere he and
State Senator William T. Love and other
speakers had engagements to speak they
were greeted by large audiences and were
given the best of attention
Judge skeggs is confident that this coun-
ty will give a large majority against the
adoption of the amendment He says
that not a precinct east of the Louis
vile and Nashville railroad will go for
the amendment. Within this territory are
Decatur, New Decatur, Hartselle, Falk-
vile and Lacon, the largest boxes in
the entire county.
Judge Skeggs' opinion is worthy of con-
sideration and as a result the amenders
are alarmed at the reports he brings back
to the Decaturs. Judge Skeggs has been
probate judge of this county for many
years and has been in politics in this
county for many years more At one
time he represented this senatorial district
In the state senate and there Is not man
nthe county better versed on the politics
of the county, or who is more capable of
giving an opinion on the result of an
election in this county than is Judge
Skeggs.
prominent and well-informed citizen
of Limestone county said today that his
county would give a large majority
against the adoption of the amendment.
In his opinion Limestone will go about
five to one against the amendment
Anti-amendment speakers are covering
the ants are gaining every day through
out the Eighth congressional district Men
who are well informed say that Lawrence
county will In all probability go for the
amendment, but aside from this all the
other counties in this congressional dis
'trist will go against the amendment The
fact that Judge William Richardson of
Huntsville. the congressman from this
district. announced against the amend
ment a few days ago has been the cause
OF the ants gaining a large number of
votes throughout the district and espe-
cially in Morgan, Madison, Limestone
and Jackson counties. Judge Richardson
Is by far one of the most prominent men
in the district and the fact that he has
twice been elected to Congress without
opposition is sufficient evidence that the
people of this district have the utmost
confidence in him.

WHITE RIBBONS

Veterans Reused BY Stallings'
Speech Against Amendment
GREAT MEETING AT OZARK
Both Amenders and Defenders Hold
Meetings But. Defenders Get the
crowd-Gathering of Fully
300 People.
GREAT MEETING AT OZARK

Ozark. November 20.-(Special.) To-day
was a great day for the defenders of
the constitution in Ozark and Dale coun-
ty A fine day, tremendous crowd
and the finest speeches ever heard here
marked the occasion. 1t was a great
day in spite of the jumped-up rally of
the amenders, In spite of the coffee and
sandwiches which were served absolutely
free, in spite of the thunderous efforts Of
w. H. Sanford, sandwiched In between
vehement exhortation of Rev. o. B. New
ton and the vociferous oratory Of H. L.
Martin.
The defenders having arranged their
rally and speaking some three weeks ago
were entitled to the courthouse and used
IT, while the amenders were content to
occupy the stand on the square just In
front of the courthouse that they used
last Saturday.
Although speaking in the open air and
with a number of ladies and an organ to
estimated that not exceeding rs voters
were at any one time within hearing of
the voices of the amendment speakers.
In the courthouse, which will comfort
ably seat 900, pushing, struggling mass OF
men were using their efforts to get within
earshot, IL not in sight, of the speakers.
The aisles were damned and packed and
the windows were full, while number
of voters wandered about the streets sore
ly disappointed at not being able 10
hear the speeches.
The crowd was vaiously estimated at 800
to 1000.
Tom Long was the first speaker for the
defenders. For one hour and a half he held
his audience on their toes. Frequent out
bursts of yociferous applause bore wit
ness to the fact that he was hitting the
nail on the head and that his remarks
were meeting with unanimous approval.
Mr.. Long was followed by Jesse f.
stallings, who. in speech of nearly two
hours, completed the humiliation of the
arguments of the amenders and material
" strengthened the defense of the de-
tenders and sent away from the court
house throng of Jubilant voters feeling
that the constitution would remain in
act
During the course of Mr.. Stallings
speech a number of old gray-haired Con-
dereate veterans were seen to throw OF
from their lapels the white badges they
had been wearing.
After Mr. Sta1lings finished his speech
1t was several minutes before he could
gain the stairway. The crowd around him
was immense and their desire to con-
graduate hira on his fine speech was not
denied
It is commonly remarked that his
speech was the greatest effort for liberty
and right ever heard in Dale county.
It was a great day and the defenders
are satisfied with the result.

Chronic Catarrh Is
A Blood Disease
Which Can Never Be Cured BY tho
Use of Atomlzers, Douches,
Snuffs or other Local

Long ago physicians found out that the
very prevalent disease called catarrh was
not primarily local trouble, but sys-
temic or constitutional blood disorder in
stead. For many years before this dis
covery, people were In the habit of using
all kinds of local applications in their
efforts to cure the catarrh and they never
succeeded in obtaining more than tenn
porary relief.
When the blood is absolutely pure, ca
tarrh cannot exist, but when it becomes
filled with impurities through faulty elm
ination, the mucous membrane, which
lines all the internal organs Of the body.
and normally secretes clear, soothing
fluid, becomes inflamed, and the mucus
fluid changes to an irritating, poisonous
excretion.
People in this climate are very much
subject to catarrh of the throat and nose,
especially in the winter months, and the
lining membrane of the air passages be-
comes congested and infiamed, and this,
together with an impoverished condition
of the blood produces the flow of morbid
catarrhal secretion.
When the blood is impure, it not only
sends out the excess of impurities through
the pores In the shape of boils, pimples
and carbuncles, etc, but very often elm
mates them through the mucous MEM
condition. In view of the foregoing facts,
the absurdity of attempting to cure ca
tarrh through local application should
be apparent to all.
sTUART'S CALCIUM WATERS. the
great blood cleansing remedy, has been
the means of curing thousands of cases
of catarrh, when all other remedies, both
local and general, have utterly failed. The
reason is simple and easily explained.
These little waters contain calcium sulph-
ide. and other powerful alternatives and
blood purifiers. which cleanse tho blood
current so thoroughly and eliminate the
systems poisons and impurities SO eff
GENTLY that the catarrhal disease has
nothing to live upon and thrive upon, and
the result is, the complaint IL cured In
a marvelously short time.
Stuart's Calcium WATERS have long en-
5oyed the reputation Of being the most
powerful blood-cleaning, skin-disease re-
moving, and catarrh cure in existence.
Persons who "catch cold" easily, and
who are subject to any of the well known
symptoms Of this complaint, such as ex-
cessive secretion of mucous in the throat
and nasal cavity. hoarseness. snuffles,
coughs. frequent sneezing, etc.. should
use this powerful blood remedy, and by
purifying the system absolutely, rid
themselves permanently of catarrh, as
well as Of pimples boils, blackheads. car
buncles and other external indications Of
impoverished blood.

cium Waters from raur druggist for 50
