INTERESTING TIME
DOWN At CLANTON
Bowman and Lowe to Meet
Conner and benson
SWING OVER TO GIRARD
Long States That Fully Fifty Speak
ers Will Be Sent Gut Against
the Amendment To-
morrow.
SWING OVER TO GIRARD

What promises to be one of the interest
ing incidents of the campaign for and
against the proposed prohibition amend
ment to the constitution is the speaking
and barbecue scheduled for Clanton Sat
urday.
Thousands of dodgers have been printed.
They state that Gov. B. B. Conner and
Judge N. L. benson will speak in favor
of the amendment. The women are in
vited to attend and bring well-illed bas-
kets. There will be barbecue.
But the Governor and the former judge
of the supreme court will not have a free
rein in Clanton.
w. C. Elder, A. C. Smith and others of
that county were imbued with the idea
that some good anti-amendment doctrine
could be dispensed with profit on the &C.
casion of the barbecue and the picnic.
So they came to Birmingham and con-
Arred with Lee Long, campaign manager
and others
As result P. G. Bowman and Col.
Robert J. Lowe of Eufaula will arrive in
Clanton tonight. and tomorrow morning at
1870 o'clock will appear before the audi
ence gathered to hear the Governor and
Judge benson, and there formally ask for
a division of time.
Will the Governor grant a division of
time? He earlier in the campaign declined
to meet Senator Robert e. Spragins and
others. Will he agree to meet Bowman
7 80
with the hammer and tongs" tactics well
in hand and the other an orator with wit
trenchant sarcasm and eloquence at his
command?
And in case he doesn't agree to meet
Bowman and Lowe?
1t is probable that an appeal will be
made to the crowd. Chiffon county as Is
known. is very close It is probable that
the anti-amendment sentiment has the up
per hand. And it is considered probable
that there will be a division.
Some interesting developments and a
good time are anticipated.
The temperance orators will follow Gov
ernor Conner and Judge benson to Girard,
where they speak Saturday night.
Chairman Lee Long of the anti-amend-
ment forces states that on Saturday about
50 anti-amendment orators will make adj
dresses. Bowman and Lowe speak at
Clanton. Thomas M. Stevens of Mobile
and Jesse stallings of Birmingham will
speak at Girard. Tom Long speaks at
Centreville Col. Alexander Troy sIhaks in
Pfckens county. s. J. Bowie and Fred
Blackmon will speak at Columbiana.
Perry Thomas, Phares Coleman, ]. T.
Letcher and many others have engage
ments.
Tonight Judge Miller, chairman of the
Jefferson county committee, and Jules
Davidson will make addresses at East
Birmingham.

meeting at the suburban city hall last
night for the purpose of effecting per-
manent organization of the voters favor
ing the prohibition amendment to the
constitution The meeting was attended
by about $50 persons, ana an amendment
club with 81 members was formed Just be-
fore the meeting adjourned
Senator Nat L. Miller addressed the
assembly and he made what is considered
to have been a very able speech in favor
of the amendment. He was given the
close attention of his auditors and was
loudly applauded at frequent intervals
throughout his speech.
At the close of Senator Miller's speech
the amenders' club was permanently or
ganized with the following officers: e.
Brewer, president; G. W. Williams, first

READY FOR WORK
IN JEFFERSON
Meeting of Subcommittee Against
the Amendment Was Held
Last Night.

There was an enthusiastic meeting of
the sub committee of the Jefferson
county anti-amendment compaign COM
mittee in the First National bank build
ing last evening.
At the meeting reports were heard
from practically every precinct In the
county, and the great majority of tn en-
were favorable. Several sub-commit-
tees were named and these will get to
work at once on the various duties as
signed. There were many enthusiastic
speeches. Hugh Morrow, r. *. Camp
bell, ]. w. Mcqueen, Jere King, James
weatherly, John II. Miller, Jules David
son, DR.. ]. S. Gillespie, S. ]. Bowie,
Frank Nelson, Jr., o. p. Gaut and 9TH
ers made short talks.
An important development in the
meeting was the fact that the infiuen-
tial citizens opposing the amendment
will get In the trenches and go to work.
Many of those present agreed to pull
off tn cir coats and do something other
than the fancy work.
That the county is safe was agreed.
Committees, 1t was determined, will be
named for each precinct in the coun-
ty The work of formally organizing
will be pushed.

MAKES HIS ESCAPE.
Negro, After Long Chase, Loses Him
self From Officers in Building.

Peyton Banks, negro who had been
arrested by the police on charge of
assault and battery, made quite sem
sational escape yesterday morning
while being taken from the city jail
to the county prison by Deputy Sheriff
II. M. Gilbert.
Banks was turned over to Deputy
Gilbert at police headquarters and the
deputy, after Handwriting his prisoner,
started to the county jail with him. The
negro was as meek as lamb until the
walls of the county Jail doomed up be-
fore him and just as the corner of
Third avenue and Twenty-first stree t
was passed Banks took on the nature
of a rabbit and ran away with his
Mr.. Gilbert started out after him and
was Joined by Deputy Chew in the
chase. Banks ran down Fourth ave-
nue. and turned into Twentieth street,
lodging into the Watts building. He
finally made his way to the opening to
the cellar, into which he darted, and
although 1t is not stated whether or not
the negro pulled the aforesaid opening
in behind him, 1t remains a fact that
the pursuing deputies could not get to
him and he is still at large and has
not taken the trouble to return Mr. Gil
bert's handouts.
