ANTI AMENDMENT
 SPEAKERS HEARD
SPEAKING IN NEW DECATUR AT TENDED BY AUDIENCE OF 700 PEoPLE-SAMPLE AND cALLA- HAN DELIVER ADDRESSES.

Decatur, October 5.-(Special. )- The Masonic theatre in New Decatur was packed almost to it's capacity to- night on the occasion of the anti amendment speeches by John R. Sam pie of Hartselle, member of the state legislature, and W. w. Callahan, a prominent lawyer of Decatur. Fully TOO people were preesnt, among the number many ladies.
 The rema rks of both speakers were frequently applauded. MT. Sample re- ferred to the bankrupt condition of the state treasury and declared this amend ment election was but the result of a combined effort on the part of the poli- ticians of the state and the people ha, no voice in 1t.
 He spoke at length on the Fuller bill. saying this was all the prohibition law necessary, and If some Of the of- ficers of this county, instead of going over the county making speeches in be- half of the amendment, would do their duty and enforce the laws we now have they would be better complying with their duty and we wouldn't need any furth CT laws on the subject
  declared MT. Sample, but one of poli- tics. If the amendment carries 1t means Weakley for governor. It can not mean anything else"
 ". W. Callahan declared this was not a moral but 8 political issue; that the amenders were discussing the issue from every pulpit in Alabama, but they would not let the antis speak from the pulpit
 "rhe writing of this in your con- stitution does not assist in the en- forcement of the laws nor making them fixed on your statute books, de clared MT. Callahan.
 MT. Callahan's argument dealt in the main with the legal plan of the ques- ton and his argument was the strong est yet heard in this part of the state. He was cheered frequently.
 State Senator W. T. Lowe acted as chairman of the meeting.

JANNEY ON WHITE
 SLAVE TRAFFIC

Omaha, October 25.-A stirring address by Dr. o. Edward Janney of Baltimore, chairman of the national vigilance com mittee for the suppression of the white slave traffic, was the most notable event of today's session of the thirty-sixth an- nual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union.
 pr. Janney declared that the traffic in girls has become an evil more widespread than the public imagines, reaching out into every part of this country and even across the ocean for victims. the main line of its operations being from Mon treal, Boston and New York westward, through Buffalo to Pittsburg, Chicago, Omaha and Denver, to San Francisco and Seattle.
 The federal government, he said is doing all it can to suppress. the traffic, but is hampered by supreme court de- cision that this is matter for the po- lice power of the states to deal with. He urged the members of the Woman's Christian Temperance union to influence their state legislatures to pass more dras- tic laws on this subject.
 John Marshall, assistant attorney gen eral of the state of Kansas, addressed the convention on the question of inter
 
 gressional enactment, making it unlawful to ship liquor into prohibition state, de- claring that Congress is barred by the constitution from delegating its authority over interstate trade to the states. He said Senator Burton and Representative Miller of Kansas had promised to intro duce the necessary bill at the next ses- sion of Congress.
 After much debate a resolution sub- mitted today by the official board amend ing the bylaws so as to prevent any mem- Der holding the office of national organ izer or lecturer and state president or national superintendent at the same time was adopted.
 Tonight was worlds w c. T. U." night. One of the notable speakers was Miss Ellen M. Stone, the missionary whose abduction for ransom in southern Europe a few years ago made her in- ternatlonally known
 Other speakers included representatives from many foreign countries while greet ings from many others were read.
 Tomorrow the convention will elect of- ficers.

JUDGE LEE MAKES
 POSITION PLAIN
WANTS VIGOROUS ENFORCEMENT OF PROHIBITION LAWS--YOUNG MAN FINED HEAVILY FOUR TEEN-cENT COTTON.

Gadsden, October 25.-(Special.)- Judge Alto V. Lee of the criminal division of the city court today con vened the petit jury for the trial of criminal jury cases. In a somewhat lengthy charge he justified his former action in dismissing jury that disre- garded the instructions of the court Tn the trial of liquor cases and intimated that like fate awaited any trial body sitting before him where a fragrant disregard of the law was apparent. The judge Is committed to the most vigor- ous enforcement of the law against those who run blind tigers and in- tends to force juries to return yer diets in accordance with the evidence, whether they favor the severe punish ments inflicted by the court or not.
 Homer Howard, one of the young

men indicted by the recent grand jury for the violation of the prohibition laws by running a blind tiger at Mountain boro, was today found guilty by jury trying the case and assessed a fine of $500. To this Judge Lee will undoubtedly add a hard labor sen tence of six months or year. Tn ere are five other cases of similar char acter pending against Howard.
 The price of local cotton today reached IA cents and a fraction and many of those who have been holding for 15 cents have begun to sell for fear that there will be a reaction and they be forced to take a lower price. From all indications at this time the crop in this county will be but little over half that of an average year. It begins to look doubtful if more than 5000 bales will find their way to this market this season as against 12,000 to 1b.000 ordi narily.

TURNING THE TABLES.

He was terribly "crusty" man,
but he knew a real business woman
when he saw her. She was applying
for a situation as confidential clerk
and typist,, and he turned upon her
a rapid FIRE of questions
"Talk slang?"
mo, SIR"
"Know how to spell cat and dog
correctly9"
Eyes, sir"
"Use the telephone every other
minute 7"
"No, sir"
Usually tell everybody in the Of
fee how much the firm owes and all
the rest of the private business you
can learn?"
mo, sir"
He was trying to think of some
thing else to ask her when she took
a hand in the matter and started in
to put few questions on her own ac-
count
"Smoke cigars when you're dicta-
ting1"
"Why-er-no p he gasped in as
tonishment.

RIVER BRETHREN IN KANSAS.

Thirty years ago last month the
first delegation of River Brethren
came from Pennsylvania. They also
came in special train and brought
with them their household goods and
farm implements. 1t was said that
they had 100000 in currency.
They bought farms and prospered,
until now they are the richest class
of residents in Central Kansas, hav-
ing the best farms and the largest
crops of any of the Western farmers.
Their big white houses scattered
over the prairies are modelled after
the old Pennsylvania homesteads, the
former homes of most of the older
members of the Western colony.
Their barns are red and their houses
are white. Their horses are sleek,
and their cattle take first place in the
market.
For long time their vehicles were
odd four-posted carriages, with cur
tains to keep out storms. Many of
these are still used, but more River
Brethren own motorcars than any
single class of farmers. They come
in to church with the cars filled to
the limit and enjoying the trips.
The River Brethren came to Kan!
sas intelligently, but they came to
preserve th cir traditions. Their
homes show this. Not a gable is
shown for looks and never aaring
weather vane. The discipline says 1t
is inconsistent to put up lightning
rods, hence none appears.
In business life they hold it wrong
to foreclose mortgage on brother or
oppose him in any way. 1t is per-
mitted, though, to take a mortgage
for security for debt. If one fails to
meet his obligation he receives the
advice and then the help Of his broth
ers. The latter takes the form of a
direct donation. One instance of this
was seen once when SIS, 900 was con-
tributed by the brethren to help one
of their number out of debt.
The church declares that it is a
sign of pride to have photograph
taken, though this rule is sometimes
broken. Life insurance, secret soci-
eties and divorces are unknown. In
all their twenty five years in Kansas
there has not been a pauper, and
only one criminal. No other class
can show so good record.-KanS0S

A WAY OUT OF IT.

A company of select colored artists
were rendering version of "Othello." ="
The scene had been reached between
the Moor and Desdemona, wherein
Othello demands the handkerchief
which he has given his wife as a we'd
ding amulet. The actor who had
been entrusted with the title role con
fused vociferousness with impressive
ness.
"Desdemony p he shouted, "fetch
me dat han kercher P'
But the doomed lady only babbled
of Cassie, and her liege shouted again :
"I asst you fo' de second time to
git me dat han kercher p
Still the fair one parried the issue
with talk of Cassie, and the lordly
Othello, now thoroughly incensed,
bello wed
Woman, fo' de third and las time,
I tells you to git me dat han kercher
Away"
And as he was just about to open bis
mouth again, a big, ther-lungeo
patron in the top gallery shouted
down at him:
"Fo' de Lawd's sake, niger
Why doan' yo' wipe yo' nose on 20
sleeve, an let de show go on !"-
