He claimed that the proposed amend ment was merely an idle declaration with no penalties attached. Twenty states in the union have tried amend ments similar to this and rejected them ultimately. He said section two would tie the hands of the Legislature.
 He discussed the reason for hurry ing the amendment election--the non payment of such large number of voters of poll tax who at the next election would be legal voters.
 The crowd was quite noisy. at many times yelling loud enough to be heard above the roar of street traffic. The large majority of the hearers were with the speaker. and against the amendment.
 Women were. stationed at the north and south entrances to the court house, and pinned white badges upon the Iapels of all who would permit this to be done.
 A large crowd was in the city, badges of both sides being pientifully sprihkled among the visitors
 Messrs. Whitson and Acksr spoke for the amendment during the after noon. and a large crowd heard them.

 There was by actual count zoo voters present. They cheered the speakers from the very beginning and the inter est was kept up until the meeting ad- journed. t,
 The audience was made up principal- ly of farmers who had come In to hear these distinguished speakers. The old soldiers were there In great numbers. and when the speakers referred to what they had done from 1861 to 1885 the crowd went wild.
 There in little doubt that Lander dale win roll up majority of more than 500 against the amendment.

day If such thing were possible Mir. Long is even more confident of victory than he was week ago. Al any rate he was confidence personified as he talked of the rushing success of the campaign against the amendment.
 The reports that come in daily In our mali. the word that the visitors bring us. and we have scores of them every day. the size of the crowds and the enthusiasm show -conclusiveIy that our majority Is steadily increasing" !" said Mir. Long. That has been the dis tinet feature of last week of the cam paign--the gains reported from every section of the State. The majority against the amendme nt has been nota- bly increased during the week. There are additional reasons why we should not concede them a single County. They may carry county or two, but there is not a Single county but what they will have to fight and fight hard to get It looks more like landslide than ever before"
 The State organization Is said to be the most complete ever formed in Ala bama.. In Birmingham Headquarters two or more reports have been received from every. beat in the State. In most of the beats report has been sent in for every week of the past six weeks. The last reports show a steady increase of the anti-amendment vote.
 The defender headquarters are espe- ciaIly proud of the list of speakers who are now on the stump. This is said to be the largest and to contain the ablest list of speakers that ever advocated or opposed a proposition in Alabama
 Representative J. R. Afford. of Ge- neva County. who was in Montgomery, reported Geneva safe against the amendment MT. Afford Is prominent capitalist and business man of Geneva. He voted against the amendment when 1t was up for passage In the House and he was charged with being out Of line with his people by some of the amenders. Mir. Afford is takingaan ac- tive interest in the fight to show that he was. as a matter of fact, in line with them. He has in the past three weeks driven through every beat in the county. except three. making per sonal house to house canvass. He Will visit the three remaining beats In the coming week. He has reports from them already. Mir. Afford is convinced that Geneva County will roll up fine majority against the amendment

J. H. Webb and White Gibson Address
 Voters.


 Thomasviile, Oct. s0.--tSpecin1. )- When the news reached here that neither men advertised for Thomasviile today could be on hand and that two speakers would be here In the after. noon, instead of in the forenoon, some of the amenders felt like there would be a frost, but before J. H. Webb former solicitor of Mobile. had got ten half way into his address to about 800 men at she town hall, 1t was ap- parent that the amenders would soon sit up and take notice.
 Mir. Webb spoke for about one hour and used the major portion of his time in showing what the Legislature had already done under the present Constl- tuition and stated that the future could only be foretold by the past.
 In Introducing Mir. Webb. A. B. Tucker stated that the last time Mfr. Webb had spoken from that platform 1t was "in behalf of Nhat grand old man John T. Morgan" and predicted that in this as in that fight. MT. Webb was on the winning side, so far as Clarke County was concerned.
 MT. Webb, was followed by White Gibson, of Birmingham, In San address lasting about one hour and forty min- utes
 MT. Gibson went after the present administration in strong language, stating at the outset that he was one of those "skunks" Governor Conner re- ferred to in his address at. Clanton a few days ago.
 MT. Gibson Is forceful speaker and bids fair to make some trouble for the amenders before the fight is over
 Mir. Webb left on the southbound train for Jackson, where he and Hon Floyd Tate. of Wetumpka, speak to- night.

Water Works for Penrose

Penrose can boast of probably the
most unique water system In the
United States. Five thousand feet of
water main is now being put in by
Van Buskirk & Fuller. from the rail-
road water tank to the principal part
OF the town, with fire plugs in each
block.
The railroad locomotive pumps the
water from the pump into the tank
and as the tank is very much higher
than the rest OF the town, II will
give splendid pressure. The tank
is an extra large one. holding 10000
gallons. which means. In an emery
ency. several days water supply can
be stored without refilling.
Beaver Park water is noted for Its
purity, and ms the water is conducted
all the way from the stream through

II free from adulterations, and be-
sides. the water tank will act as n

eighty acres of government land in

agriculture which show in very

soil in that section. Among the pro-
ducts of the ranch brought in by Mr..
Doran today were pumpkins, water
melons and other vegetables that
would command attention anywhere
in the country by their great size and
excellent qualities. magnificent
pumpkin, watermelon and banana
muskmelon were placed on exhibition
at the Record office. Mr.. Doran is
convinced that there are few locali-
ties in the United States where the
soil is as productive under favorable
conditions as it is here.

FRONTIER SKETCHES

Indian agent coolly removed the MO-
docs to another locality, thereby es-
tablishing the fact that he favored the
Klamaths as against the Modocs. But
the Klamaths for the third time fol-
lowed them up and taunted them as
outcasts and became so unbearable
that the Modocs once more appealed
to the Indian agent for protection.
Instead of giving them protection
he directed them to look up another
locality upon the reservation. The
leader or chief of the Modocs could
not find a suitable place so they left
the reservation again and the tribe
went back to their old home in the
Lost River Basin and once more took
up their residences there. The set
tiers were naturally indignant and
angry at the Modocs for returning.
The agent asked for troops to forcibly
put the Indians back on the klamath
reservation. The Modocs wanted
small reservation apportioned to
them outside of the klamath lines
where they would not be subjected to
the insults of the Klamaths and might
live peaceably. But the superIntend-
ent of Indian affairs for Oregon di-
rected Lieutenant-Colonel Wheaton as
follows: You are directed to move
the Modoc Indians to Camp Yainax on
klamath reservation, peaceably If you
can. forcibly if you must" The Mo-
docs refused to go back and then be-
gan the greatest Indian war that Ore
gon ever saw.
