CONGRESSMAN STEAKS TO SELMA AUDIENCE.
Little Reference is Made te the AHena- s nent But It Was . Fine Pre-
 hfbiff0n speech--Cen-
 tral City News.

!, Selma, Oct. )--For over an hour and a half in the court room of the court house today nearly TOO cit- izens of Selma and Central Alabama heard Congressman Richmond Pearson Hobson, or Greensboro, deliver one of the best prohibition lectures ever heard In this city.
 Frequently the speaker was inter- rupted by applause but only at the be- ginning and the conclusion of the long address was there a great and spon- taneous outburst from the large. crowd which filled every seat and stood around the walls of the court room and In the corridors outside.
 The audience was made up of resi- dents of this city among which were a number of women. A large number from the rural district surrounding Selma also attended the meeting.
 The speaking was scheduled to be- gin at 12 o'clock but the Southern Railway train from Birmingham was nearly two hours late and 1t was l2:10 o'clock before Captain Hobson and F. Nj. Jackson of Birmingham reached the city and were driven rapidly to the court house in an automobile. .
 The meeting was opened with prayer by Rev. J. L.. Rosser. pastor Of the First Baptist Church. after which Err nest Lamar introduced Fred M. Jack son, of Birmingham, Chairman of the amendment forces.
 Mir. Jackson made short address in which he claimed that the State would no doubt go by a good majority for the amendment in the November election and urged the amenders to continue busy.
 Judge Daniel Partridge introduced Captain Hobson. The introduction was followed by a great outburst Of ap- plause which lasted for fully minute.
 In beginning his address Captain Hobson said he would not argue the moral or the religious side of the ques- tion. He said he entered the campaign with sorrow as he saw that he was working against the interests of some of his best friends who were on the other side of the question. He resent ed heaping abuse upon the good men who were fighting upon both sides or the issue and said that he believed that the question at issue had been ape preached from the wrong side. the emo- tional side; when 1t was an affair of state which should be dealt with by the State.
 Captain Hobson then went into q long discussion of the evils of alcohol ism from A scientific standpoint. Captain Hobson only referred to the proposed prohibition amendment In a few casual sentences in which he threw no additional light upon the subject. He concluded with an earnest appeal to the voters to cast their ballots for the amendment and in that way to forever drive whiskey from the bor- ders of the State"
 At the conclusion of Captain Hob- sons a 1dress men on both sides of the question said they were well pleased with it.
