REACHES WEST POINT
MONTGOMERY AUTOISTs MAXI
 GOOD TIME TO GEORGIA.
Mayor Gunter Joins and VIII Travel to Atlanta to Witness Races at the New Speed
 
BY CHARLES PEKoR, JR,

West Point. Ga, Nov. T.-(Special.l-- Country horses and mules, uneducated in the ways of the more urban auto mobile, delayed the progress of the SO ciability run from Montgomery Att
 However. the annoyance caused by the delay was offset by the perfect score made by each of the three cars composing the vanguard of the Mont gomery tourists. The contestants in the Sunday party for the trophy cup are J. H. Cook, with a forty -eignt horse power car; Charles Abercrombie. with a forty eight horse power car, and P. J. Williams, with a thirty horse power car.
 Almost every few moments the dusty caravan was forced to halt while the chauffeurs aided in calming fractious horses. One time an entire hill was blocked by the meeting of the Mont gomery tourists and a procession of vehicles returning from a church.
 Mayor Gaston Gunter joined the party in Opelika. He will spend two days at the races in Atlanta.
 Six miles from West Point an auto- mobile party met the MontRomeriana and piloted them to the Cracker state line.
 The run will be continued from here early Monday morning. when the main party will leave Montgomery.

FLAT IRON AS WEAPON
 IS USED WITH EFFECT

Claiming that he acted in self de. fense. Andrew Mitchell. q negro. struck and dangerously wounded Armistead White. another negro. Sunday. evening, using flat iron for . weapon. Nit cheil was arrested on tentative charge of suspicion pending the out come of Whites wounds. J
 Mitchell claims that when he reached his home. a restaursnt at the corner of Church and Shady streets, Sunday evening, he found White there threat ening to kill a woman in the place and that White attacked him when he inter- ferred to save the woman. He claims that he had to use the hat iron to save his own life.
 It is a singular coincidence that Jim Sellers. a negro now serving a peni- tentiary sentence of eighty three years was sent up for killing a negro two years ago in this same place and his story is said to have been almost iden- tical with the story of the negro An. drew Mitchell.

JELKS SCORES SUCCESSOR
REFERS TO DEPLETED CONDITION
 OF TREASURY.
Tells Covfngton County Farmers Extra Session should Have Planned to Meet Financial Crisis
 Now Pending.

Andalusia, Nov. 7.-(Special. )-In telling speech to the voters of Coving- ton County yesterday against the amendment. Former Governor William D. Jelks declared that In view of the present depleted condition of the States treasury. and in view of Alabama s strong prohibition laws already on the statute books. Governor Conner could have called with more profit and jus tice, an extra session of the Legisla- ture to pass laws authorizing the pres ent Governor and the man who sue ceeds him, to take steps to protect the honor and credit of the State when the inevitable complete collapse of the treasury comes-
 He declared that a desperate sItua- tfon would face the man who would succeed Governor Conner. He would need every assistance the Legislature could give him to stave off disaster to the States credit. And he intimated that the Legislature could have been more Srofitably employed in curing the States financial ills than in fore ing a costly and unnecessary light on the people in the name of prohibition when the State already had a rigid system of prohibition laws.
 He declared that no issue of prohibi- ton or anti-prohibiticn was involved in the present fight. No matter what happened to the amendment, the strong prohibition laws of Alabama would remain in force. Not single law, he said, would be affected by the defeat or acceptance of the amend ment.
 Governor Jeiks alluded to the att tacks that had been made upon the standing of those who oppose the amendment. Speaking for the city of Birmingham. where he Is now residing, he said that the opponents of the measure are more than willing to meas ure and compare characters with the men who are advocating it.
 The Governor scored with the au- dience when he compared the present so-called Holy Crusade with the wild and bloody crusades,. preached in Flu rope, which set armies to marching to Jerusalem to recover the tomb oi Our Savior. Battles were fought thousands were killed, untold suffer ings ensued, and yet when the Cru saders got to the gates of Jerusalem they found that the tomb was empty The fighting. the slaughter and the sui fering had been in vain-tne tomb was empty. So with this crusade for tho amendment, the frenzied leaders were preaching a crusade to arouse the peo' ple to seek an empty tomb. The cru saders would find that the amendment if they ever got that far, was but an empty tomb.

nY ALrRED ,. STOPPER.

BY ALFRED ,. STOPPER. Washington, Nov. 7.-(special)--The prohibition leaders in the states of Maryland and Virginia are reported to be busy devising plan for future movements.
 In Virginia this year the antiea- loon question was side-tracked delib- erately by prominent "cold water" ad- vocates because they were anxious to have William Hodges Mann nominated for Governor on the Democratic ticket. That was brought about and Judge Mann Is now the Governor-elect of the Old Dominion. He is the author of the present high license and local op- tion law in the State.
 The rampant anti-saloon agftators wanted to press statewide prohibition this year. but they did not think the time was ripe, so they held off. While all this was going on Senator Martin and his political side-partners were engineering a little deal with the H. quor dealers of the State, and the up- shot of the whole thing was that a candidate was run for Governor In Virginia that appeared to be just as acceptable to the prohibftionists as he was to the saloon keepers.
 At any rate. nearly every liquor dealer of prominence in Virginia at the Democratic primary In August was working and shouting for Mann. and at the same time preachers were going from house to house in their counties earnestly entreating the vot- CTS to support Mann in preference to Former Congressman Henry St. George Tucker. The latter was push ed aside and Mann got the nomina- tion.
