WeakIey,s Statement.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
Will you kindly print for me this
statement?
Referring to, the interview of Hon.
Emmett O,Neal in today's paper con-
corning our meeting at Guntersville, L
wish to say that I consider it undigni-
fed and improper for participant in
a Joint debate to rush into print at a
point remote from the place OF dis
cussion, to tell the people how he bested
his opponent. I shall, therefore, hav
nothing to say in the papers as to TIL
incidents of Monday at Guntersville.
What occurred there is known to at
least 1900 people, and can easily be
established by impartial witnesses. The
people of Birmingham will have an OPP
portunity to hear joint discussion
between us and to decide for themselvei
as to the result thereof.
/ am surprised, however, that Mr..
O'Neal undertakes to make capital
the fact that did not remain to hea
his brief rejoinder. As soon as we met
after the debate I explained to him
that my absence was not due to any
discourtesy to him, but to the fact that
in order to avoid taking cold 1T wa
necessary for me to remove some OF
my clothing, which was saturated with
Precipitation, and to put on dry cloth
ing instead. He replied that that was
all right, and that heewould have done
the same thing under the same cir
cumstances. Yours truly,

1923 is by the joint operation of pro-
vision In paragraph 1924 and of para
graphs 1926 and $780, modified by four
exceptions, viz: Stating them) The eff
feet of the statute, then, is simply and
clearly to prohibit all manufactures of
Intoxicating liquors except for one or
more of the four purposes specified. For
the purpose says the statute. The ex-
cepted purpose is all that saves it from
being ad inifio and, through each and
every step of It's progress. unlawful
That my contention that Judges Lee
and liner are wrong in their opinion that
the manufacture of home made wine is
not prohibited by the laws of Alabama
seems to be supported by the statement
made by Mr.. Weakley last Saturday at
Talladega that blackberry wine could be
made under the proposed constitutional
amendment, because the amendment does
not prohibit 'vlnous' liquors, and black
berry wine is a vinous liquor" for had
he been of the same opinion as Judges
Lee and liner it is safe to assert that
he would have based his statement that
under the constitutional amendment wine
can be made upon Judge Lees contention
that there must be intent to sell,
coupled with the intention to make the
wine, instead of the reason he did as
sign.
But If Mr.. weakley is correctly quoted
reason to believe that he was. he either
overlooked or wilfully ignored a certain
portion of section ] of the proposed
amendment (of which he is the accredited
parent reading, land other intoxicating
beverages" because the Alabama lesis-
lature had clearly stated in one section
of the Carmichael bill what liquors and
beverages the manufacture of which Is
prohibited, including "vinous liquors and
beverages" and If that Is not sufficient
the term ''other Intoxicating liquors"
would surely come under the sweeping
provision of clause of section q, ANY
other drinks, liquors or beverages, con-
tanning one-half of one per cent of alco-
hol or more by volume at go degrees
Fahrenheit; or under the fifth clause of
that section. land intoxicating bitters or
beverages by whatever name called"
when this term Intoxicating liquors.
is defined by statute, the courts are
bound by 1t and can neither enlarge nor
restrict its signification; and any liquor
which is named or plainly included In
the statute must be held Intoxicating as
matter OF law without inquiry into
its actual properties, and even though,
as a matter of fact, it is not capable of
producing intoxication." -23 Cyc. 81.
It seems clearly beyond question that
under the present laws the manufacture
or making of homemade wine is prohib-
tied, and that that prohibition would be
clnched ard riveted by the adoption of
the proposed constitutional amendment.

Medical Examinations of Schools.

At recent meeting of the board of
education it was decided to appoint q
medical examiner for the Ensley public
schools.
This movement is in vogue in all the
larger cities and is to safeguard the
pupils against infectious diseases. I'm
der the present conditions the city
physician has no legal authority to ex-
clude from the school any child suffer-
ing from ailments that may be con-
tagious. The medical societies all over
the country are urging the measure
and as consequence the city council
will be requested to work with the
board of education in this matter.
