tramp who was passing by wood shed

little boy told the owner of the ak what

tramp and had him arrested. When the
judge asked the tramp why he took the
ak he said he only took it for joke.
How far had you gone when you were
overtaken?' asked the judge. About n
mile the tramp replied. oh! WE'LL said
the Judge there's the mistake you made;
you went bit too far with the joke

amenders point to Birmingham's fine

all the building progress referred to was
in spite of prohibition, not because of

"If prohibition is such good thing for
the material prosperity of the Birming

in the single classes and II ribbons
We're captured. S. c. Bboet sent FIVE
White Plymouth Rocks and secured
five ribbons. two first prizes, and sec

captured the silver cup special for the
finest pullet in the show. w. p. Hof-
ferbert made good winnings on Buff
Plymouth Rocks securing seven rib
bons on eight entries, one first, two
seconds, three thirds and one fourth.
j. c. Green with a bunch of Buff
Wyandottes also came in for his share
of prizes. Considering that Tennessee
is the great poultry state of the south
and that the state fair poultry show Is
the largest show held in the south,
about 5000 birds being entered for
competition, the honors secured by the
Gadsden boys speak will for the pos
sibilities of the industry in Alabama.

At the elections held today for the
purpose of voting on the question of

to decide whether or not certain out

that the Jail bonds will carsx and that

For Amateur Photographers.

Amateur photography in the south is
far behind the north in its development, ;"
said Elgin Williams yesterday. Most ell
of the northern cities have well organ

organizations of all kinds, whose mem
bers cooperate, compare notes and en-
deavor to take advantage Of the expert
enee of Others
Birmingham should have such a club.
Kodak work has not reached anything
like the perfection of the northern and
western amateurs, whose work is always
plentiful in magazines and periodicals.
The south is undoubtedly the most
perfect and most picturesque section for
individual photography. The south is suf
fering from lack of publicity in this par
ticular Not only for pleasure, for the
benefit derived. the money saved, but

be more clearly expressed. Here it
is: Nothing in the constitution of Ala
bama shall be construed to prevent
the legislature under the police power
from designating the places where
such liquors may not be stored or
kept"
In view of laws already passed and
in view further Of bold utterances that
have been made by the champions OF
prohibition to the effect that the work
Of the so-called reformers would never
be finished until liquor was absolutely
prohibited from private dwellings, the
purpose of section 2 has been taken
naturally to strike at the home. But
it has been pretended that this dan
gerous clause was only to cover cases
such as the Bessemer soft-drink-stand
ordinance provides against. And on
this point Sydney j. Bowie takes up
Judge Weakley. Mr.. Bowie writes
with his usual clarity of expression
and compelling force. His article ap-
pears in this issue of The Age-Herald,

I6ferS0n Davis

The statue of General Lee has stooo
more than month in Statuary hall in
the national capitol, and not word
of protest from a reunited country
has appeared in print. This induces
Mississippi to hope that the time will
come when she can send there a statue
of Jefferson Davis. Just so fixed,
says the Vicksburg Herald, "as Yir-
ginia is that Lees shall be one of her
statues, so is Mississippi that Jeffer-
son Davis shall be one of hers. This
is said in no Wanting spirit. But his
exclusion would be as violative of SEN
timent and the eternal fitness, as
Lees. There will be controversy as
to the other, but none in the state as
to the one, not even if the Mississippi
niche is left vacant as long as parlia-
ment waited before giving place to tho
statue of the rebel Cromwell"
The restoration of the Jefferson Da-
Wis inscription on the Cabin John
bridge in Washington shows that rea-
son is returning and that the civil war
is really and truly ended. Mississippi
has not had in her history a greater
name than that of Jefferson Davis
He stands confessedly at the head of
her statesmen in the past. If Missis-
sippi desires to place statue of JEFF.
ferson Davis as the states foremost
citizen in Statuary hall, she should be
permitted to do it, and the chances are
that congress would not object. The
war was ended nearly fifty years ago
Mississippi is a sovereign state, as
much so as is Maine or Iowa. Her
choice of statues should be respected
Just as Virginia's has been. And il
will be, and she need not wait any
longer. All are back in the union
and only history remains, and the his
tory of the civil war will hold higf
the name of Jefferson Davis, the frs
and only president Of the Confederacy

The Amendment Thorn

That second section-section 2 OF
the proposed amendment-is giving
the supporters of the constitutional
prohibition cause much trouble The
Fuller law is un-American and is far
too drastic to receive the approval of
prohibitionists themselves, unless they
be of the narrow and fanatical sort.
Under the recent prohibition enact
ments conditions in Alabama have be-
come intolerable. They recall New
England in the old days Of the Puri-
tan blue laws. There has been moth
ing in the south like unto the effort
that is being made now to deprive
freemen in this state of their God
given rights; and if the amendment be
ratified at the polls on the 10Th of No.
vember the people would have to bid
goodbye to liberty for the long years
to come; for section 2 once in the
constitution minority could keep il
there.
Leaders on the amendment side
seeing with what alarm and protest
the people are regarding section 2,
are busy trying to explain it away,
but it's wording is too plain and the
far-reaching legislative power bound
up in il Is too menacing TO the sanctity
of the home to admit of any juggling

THREE MEN SHOT

tives believe they have solved the mys-
terious holdup and double murder which
occurred last night in the saloon of Pat

about two miles from the scene of the
holdup. and James Quinn aged 2S, an ele-
vator constructor, who was acting as bar
tender in the absence of his father and
elder brother. John ]. Cassidy, aged 81
is in the hospital suffering with bullet
wound in the lung.
After going through the cash register
the robber fled.
According to Cassidy, Conn. who has
been in trouble with the police, and is
said to have served a term in the house
of correction, was drinking In the saloon
during the evening. He left oefore the
other members of the party, at about 10

USING THE CHURCHES.
Superintendent of a Sunday School
Speaks Plainly.
Montgomery. September 27, 1909.


Montgomery. September 81, 1909.
Editor The Advertiser:
AS superintendent of Sunday school,
as worker for the success and welfare
of the church. I find that am not in ac-
cord with many good people who have
unfortunately mingled politics and morals.
more am I convinced that the proposed
amendment to the constitution is wrong,
and the question of its adoption should by
no means be made an issue among the
church people. I am a temperance man.
believe firmly in temperance and in my
way have labored fos it's advancement.
i believe firmly that many good people
have become Incorporate in their efforts
to force temperance on other people.
It seems to me that we are drifting
away from the law of love, in this agita-
ton. We are not trying to persuade men
to be good. We are going to force them
to be good. Coercion has taken the place
of persuasion. We do not seek to inn
plant in the bosom of man, faith and prin-
ciples, which will strengthen him to re-
sst evil. Because we have the power
we turn the law into a club and use
threats instead of teachings and appeals.
| cannot help believing that the day will
come when many of the men who are u.s.
ing the churches as menace will regret
their departure from the teachings of
their fathers. We have prohibition In Ala
bama as strong as the law can make 1t.
Then why should we be immoderate and
intemperate in forcing more law and a
constitutional amendment on other peo-
pie? / shall continue to oppose the
amendment as unwise and harmful.
