the bottle sent a note asking his honor s

Mr.. Towersby received next day this

my Dear Sir: I beg to thank you for
the confidence you repose in my judg-
ment, as shown by asking for my opinion.
But inasmuch as ] am a lawyer, many
years of training and experience make It
impossible for me to give an opinion on

ON LISTENING TO MUSIC.
Manchester Union

A young man who persisted in whisper
ing loudly to the lady who accompanied
him to a symphony concert, telling her
what the music meant" what sort of a
passage was coming next and so on,
caused serious annoyance to every one
of his immediate neighbors. Presently he
closed his eyes and said to his companion:
Did you ever try listening to music
with your eyes shut? You've no idea how
lovely it sounds"
Thereupon a gentleman who sat in a
seat in front of the young man twisted
himself about and said gravely:
Young man, did you ever try listening
to music with your mouth shuty

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
The FIGHT Is On.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
The fight is on, the small rams give a
rafting sound, and cannons roar, the
artillery are lining up, the old seige guns
are being made ready for the battle fray.
Would 1t be intruding for the little pop
gun to fire amidst 1t all? What are tho
battle lines? The enemy and the avenger
are alert, the hosts are gathering, the
spies are designing, the spoils are ex-
pected. Who are the opposing parties?
For what are they fighting? As we see
the origin or cause of this contest we have
and do claim that it Is fight for liberty
and patriotism VS.. irreligion and dema-
goguesm. And we must believe that the
object is to divide the solid south, and
disrupt the democratic party, and land
Alabama in the prohibition camp as spoil
for the enemy of true and right govern
ment.
1t is a fight between the true principles
of Christ the true prophet and Son of
God, and Mahomet the false prophet and
the principles of heathenism, under the
pretense of better religion than that
of Christ. When we define prohibition
we VIII see WHO dIS Oh Tie l4OfQ sue.
Prohibition is false in name. 1t does not,
nor has it ever prohibited Forty years
in Maine has demonstrated that. 1t is
delusive, therefore inasmuch as 1t claims

don touch it, and thereby under its pre-
tense to do good it does evil. 1t assumes

it is to all intents and purposes directly

mingham Monday to be present Mr..

of friends in Birmingham, having Wis
tied here some time ago.

been entirely clear. 1t fould not then

legislature as to the enactment of a
statute on this subject, but the constitu-

self-exeeuting, and could without the aid

made to prohibit the storage of liquors in

RACES are kept for SALE Section 2 OF the
proposed amendments does nothing of this

as emphatic as 1t was possible to make it

manifest that Section was not Intended
merely to meet the state OF affairs pro-

En- route to the next shop We met one
of our best looking women friends, who
is noted for her distinction in dress, and
as it was not too late for white linen
gown she was dressed in this becoming
costume. A hugh black hat with nodding
feathers was becomingly worn, which
prompted me to say:
Now, that's what I call good taste
in dress. How few women, too realize
the value of the juxtaposition of black
hats and white frocks."f
And as I was making my little COM

'Look at that woman with her." was
the instruction that she gave. as I looked

"Well, the beauty of your appearance
is somewhat married, as we cannot see
anything but the tip of your nose and
the blink of your eyes, consequently 1t
seems quite becoming to your neck and
shoulders" said Bettina, as we passed
on, and I realized that perhaps one OF
our best friends was not entirely pleased.
AS we hurried on we stepped into an
other fashionable millinery shop and en-

declared Bettina, ''but don't lose heart,

wind it around your hair and add a few
more puffs and curls. and perhaps you
may then be able to wear the hats"
we did not wait to hear the reply to
this-it seemed too personal grief to
intrude upon further, and moved over
to a different part Of the parlors, where
we again constituted ourselves an audi

That Ressemer Ordinance.

10 the Editor OF Inc ASe-Herald:
Judge Weakley Is credited in the various
accounts published of his speeches with
undertaking to justify Section of the
proposed constitutional amendment upon
the plea that its insertion into the con-
stitution was made for the purpose OF
meeting the decision of the supreme court
of this state in the so-called Bessemer
ordinance case. Other amendment ora
tors have taken the same ground, all of
them insisting that the decision In the
Bessemer anti-storage case rendered Sec
ton necessary and that the sole pur-
pose of Section was to meet the diff
Guilty suggested by that decision. Under
these circumstances ii becomes highly
pertinent to inquire what is the Bessemer
anti-storage ordinance often referred to
as a justifying cause for this provision
of the amendment? In order that II may
be made perfectly clear, l will quote Sec
ton / of the Bessemer ordinance, which
Is the only important part thereof in this
