here that the drastic prohibition laws

admitted he drew these laws and the

assertion that wine can be made for
home consumption without violating
the laws. and said the Legislature
could provide for the making and sell
ing Of wines II the amendment was
adopted without violating the Consti-

Judge Jones Absent
From City.

Judge Thomas @. Jones of the United
States Court. is asked, through two
petitions of the Louisville and Nash
Vile Railroad to release the road from
an order OF the Railroad Commission
OF Alabama, by which the Louisville
and Nashville must enter he union de-
pot at Mobile.
An application by the railroad for an
injunction against the order was en-
tered July 20, and. according to the
allegations filed Friday, the State Of
fciais ignored the papers in tae In
junction case. The railroad company
asks for a decree pro confesso releas-
ing IL from the order Of the Commits
sion.
The original order OF thu Commission
was intended to force the Louisville
and Nashville to run into the termi-
nal depot at Mobile. The Louisville
and Nashville objected, and petitioned
for an order restraining the Commits
sion's mandate.
Two bills were fled by the rail-
road attorneys Friday. ono declaring
that the state officisIs took no notice
OF the application for the injunction,
and. therefore q decree pro confesso
should be forthcoming.
The second bin makes uohn A. Lusk.

Railroad Commission. q defendant in
the proceedings, instead Of Major John
a. Harris, deceased, who was member
OF the Commission 81 the time the
order was promulgated.

AUBURN IS COMING FAST
TECH TEAM ROUNDING TO ITS
LATE SEASON FORM.
Spirited Battle IL Expected when the
Alabama Eleven Hooks Up with
The Cracker State
Bunch.

Auburn. Nov. 19-fSpecial) AFTER
the hard contest against Sewanee, Au-
burn Is having light work this week
for the Georgia game on TSanksgi v.
Ing. With all the crippies rounding
into shape and developing into It's
highest state of efficiency. Auburn
ought to be at it's best on turkey day.
Mccoy, whose injury on the eve of the
Sewanee battle so crippled the Auburn
backheld, especially in the kicking de-
partment. very likely will be back In
the game. He was the man who was
counted on to hold up Auburn's end OF
the kicking game against Noise. Sc.
wanee's crack punter.
With Mccoy in the game. Auburn's
chances against Sewanee would have
heen materially increased. Esslinger
and Coggdel, the tackles. who raised
such havoc against Sewanee's forwards
for the short time that they were In
the game. are rounding into the best
form OF the year and ought to DO at
their best in the final game of the year.
Hardage and Reynolds will just about
be at their best. Their end running
and broken field work ought to keen
the Georgia tackles busy. The rest OF
the team Is showing more speed and
agsressiveness than at any time du-
ring the year.
Held back and disorganlzed during
the season by injuries. the team Is just
swinging into Its stride. Georgia all
against Auburn and this year will be
no exception. With fairly heavy team
and strong defense. the Georgia ag-
gregation will put up fight that Is
worth, going a long way to see.. IT
took Auburn thirty-five minutes to
break down the stubborn defenseput UP
by the Crackers the last time they
met.
Georgia will be stronger than last
year, while Auburn also will be sonle-
what stronger so the fight promises
to be spirited one.

Bay Minette, Nov. 1s-(special)-
The city fire alarm was sounded yes

basement Of the county jail was dis
covered.
smoke came from the windows OF
the prison and the prisoners on the
inside, five in all. came very near
suffocating
II seems that the keys OF the cells
could not be found for short time
and relief of the prisoners could not
be secured. Windows were broken In
to let the smoke out and the voiun-
teer fire department soon put the
blaze out.
From the furnace in the basement

II II had occurred in The night. the
jail and occupants would have been
consumed.
The structure is but about one
block from the court house and no
one lives near It, II was built about
ten years ago and is In bad condition.
The county commissioners for sew
erai years have been considering
building more up-to- date jail.
w. d. Stapleton, mayor of Bay
Minette has come out for the amend
ment. For some time he was against
It and Comerism.
Those on the other side think local
influence has brought about the
change.
From reports gained by the organi-
zation of the anti-amenders and other
Information gained from the various
parts of Baldwin County II seems that
this county will go strongly against
the amendment. The lower end is
against II where II Is most thickly
populated. Bay Minette beat will
give q majority against 1t. Stockton
beat will give a majority for 1t. The
other beats in the north end of the
county will be evenly divided Fair
hope Is about evenly divided. and SO
