my friends in Congress with Senator Ba-

me that a particular provision ought To

you are only mortal and that the fore

MY friends, that leads me up to the
little sermon, and that is, the wisdom
and necessity of following the law as II
is. I know that sometimes in the zest
and enthusiasm of reform there is an
impotence with legal limitations and
statutes that seem to be dieArted against
the reform or to prevent it's immediate
accomplishment such as to lead us to dis
regard 1t or to ignore it. do not think
and am sure you will agree with me
that that is the best way of getting rid
of a legal lemitation that interferes with
progress. The best way is to have the
people understand that that Limitation
ought to be removed and that the statutes
of our government ought to conform SC
far as may be to our highest ideals and
ambitions, but that the first thing that
we have got to do OTTER arousing the PEG.

Amendment Fight Growing Lively.
q News of HartseIle. 81

Hartselle, November 4.-(Special.) 1.-THE
amendment pot is boiling and facts about
the issue are boiling out, and the people
are apparently now beginning to see
what is in the proposed amendment to
the constitutions. The country people
are getting worked up over the matter.
A farmer who lives about seven miles
from Hartselle said he had been for the
amendment all along, until yesterday he
received some literature from anti-amend-
ment headquarters. AS the facts were
backed by affidavits and he said he knew
that they must be so, so he said he was
against any such methods. The antfs
are evidently gaining ground here ana
in the beat.
Saturday, November g. is to be a busy
political day here. Hon. w. W. Calla-
han. one of the foremost lawyers of the
county, will speak against the amend
ment and Judge Weakley is billed to
sneak in the evening. Mr.. Callahan
will begin speaking at II a. IN. Next
Tuesday night at Falkville, Mr.. Callahan
will address the people of that place
against the amendment. 1t Is probable
that there may be a joint discussion at
that time with some of the amendment
orators
Cotton continues to bring Is cents here
and the town is crowded with cotton
wagons.
