Interested In Politics,

81 have become much interested in
Alabama politics." said R. NJ. Traynor
of Louisville.
81 have been in this state since early
in September, and in that time have WIS.,
tied four counties including Jefferson.
have met and have talked to scores of
voters and have attended two meetings in
Birmingham-one of them a Sunday rally
at the Bijou-and I have come to the con-
clusion that the amendment is badly beat
The rank and file Of the amendment
side may not realize that they are to
meet defeat on November 29 In fact
many of them have expressed to me their
abiding faith in victory. It is always SO
with unsophisticated people They are
slow to find out the drift of things. But
1 find that knowing ones in touch with
the amendment campaign organization
are disheartened and practically concede
defeat. The amendment newspapers con-
tnue to make hurrah claims, but 1t can
hardly be that the men who write the ar
ticles fail to understand the outlook.
by next Sunday Generalization in the
amendment camp will have set in, be-
cause every one but the veriest numbskull
will see by that time that their fight is
lost.
Before I came on this trip 1 knew
nothing of Alabama politics, but having
a natural liking for political affairs I
soon became familiar with the prohibition
question and the game of politics as
played by the amenders Many causes
seem to have concurred to bring on de-
feat for those who are seeking to put
prohibition in the constitution. Comerism
is one Of the causes, and I find that many
partisans of Colonel Mallory a popular
candidate for governor, who were inclined
to vote for the amendment. are now
against 1t. But as far as the rural vote
goes, the farmer as a rule says he rs
against tinkering with the constitution
and that explains why many who are
known to be strong prohibitionists are
against the amendment"

WHAT IS LIFE?
What is life? Just toll and trouble?
Just fiimsy sort of bubble?
Just trial and a test
Meant to draw out what is best
In our hearts and prove each one
Meet for rest when toll Is done?
What is life? A fond delusion,
Working brave hearts to confusion?
Piling obstacles before us,
Arching hopeless heavens DER us?
All the ways with thorns DESTROYING,
Out of dark to darkness going?
What is life? A tripping measure.
Brimming full of sweetest pleasure,
Blent of purple hues and golden.
Rapt as fairy legends olden?
Much depends on us, I take 1t,
Life is always what we make 1t.

AaIaS Ball Game
Yesterday
For Fun

The White Sox and Aalas played
a game of ball yesterday, but as the
official umpire was not in evidence
the match was not counted as either
a win or loss. Fernandez was I'M
able to be present, and, although
Marathon Jackson came to the res
cue, neither team would play league
ball without Eddie Fernandez as UNI
pire.
However, a game was played and
the White Sox won with a score Of
to 2. The Reach cam forfeited to
the c. A. C.'s, and then played them
a game "for fun" This was won by
the C. A. C.'s by to 2.
Things are in bad way down at
Aala, and discomfort is rampant. The
Reach boys are thinking of playing
at the League ball grounds next Sun
day. 1t seems a great pity that
things have got into such a bad state
in connection with the Riverside
games, and II is to be hoped that
more interest will be taken in the Sc
ries apd an effort be made to bring
the ball up to the standard attained
at first.

GOVERNOR GLENN TALKS UPON
 BENEFITS OF HOME MISSIONS

Augusta, February 14.-Ex-Gov R. B. Glenn of North Carolina spoke today be- fore one of the largest congregations ever seen in the First Presbyterian church here on missions Governor Glenn's ad- dress was chiefly upon home missions, and he brought to the attention of the congre- gation many interesting facts gathered by him for these talks.
 He told of the drunken women he had seen upon the streets of our large cities. and of the crimes committed by the wom- en of this country. He stated that 60 per cent of the fallen women in this coun- try got their beginning from whisky. He dwet upon, to large extent, the vices of the slums of great cities He also vividly depicted the life of the noun taineers in the district between Pennsyl- vania and North Carolina.
 The address was concluded by statistics upon the amount of money spent in the United States on chewing gum, soft drinks, theatre tickets, feathers for ladies' hats, etc., which amounted to about 8, s1,110,0OO,00O Governor Glenn stat ed that only $l0,0o0,000 had been given in the last year for missions A collection was taken, amounting to nearly 5000.

Heavy rains and windstorms of al most cyclonic proportions prevailed throughout the southern states yester- day and last night fears were entertained that many lives were lost in Mississippi, where the storms seemed to be greatest Telegraph and telephone wires were put out of commission and only a few places were heard from which gave a total of four deaths and 20 or more injured.
 Information was received In Birming- ham that two were killed and seven bad ly injured at West Point, Miss. yes terday afternoon as the result of a heavy windstorm which passed over that see- ton of the state. The information came through Meridian and wire connection failed before details could be procured. It is stated that one of the dead is the mother of a Western Union operator at Meridian.
 An uneonhrmed report here is that one person was killed at York, Ala. The wind in Birmingham was accompanied by a heavy rain, which continued late into the night.

Chicago, February 14-What appeared to be an ordinary winter storm of small proportions today developed into one of the most troublesome and disagreeable periods in the history of the Lake Mich igan region Telegraph and telephone communication between Chicago and the outside world was interrupted seriously by the heavy snow and sleet, which cov cred the ground and made transporta- tion next to impossible. The storm was accompanied by heavy sleet and snow, and the velocity of the wind added to the general discomfort and lack of transpor- tation facilities for suburbanites and out of-town travellers alike. Northern Illi- nois, northern Indiana, northern Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and southern Wisconsin were cut off from communica- tion with the outside world early in the night. Direct communication between Chicago and Indianapolis and St. Louis was cut off, but late today the telegraph companies re-established connection with those cities by way of New York. The snow and sleet hung so heavily to the wires that in many instances they were pulled to the ground and telegraph poles were broken off as result of the heavily coated wires and the strong wind. Off, fcials of the Lake Steamship company ported they had experienced considerable difficulty during the storm.

KING MANUEL PLANS ID MARRY
 YOUNG ENGLISH PRINCESS

Lisbon, February H.-Although not yet confirmed in official quarters the entire press of Portugal states that the royal interview between King Alfonso and King Manuel related chiefly to the proposed marriage of King Manuel to Princess Beatrice, daughter of the late Duke of Edinburgh and niece of King Edward. Such a marriage, in addition to meeting with the entire approval of the Portu- guese royal family, is favorably com mented upon by the whole public and the press, the opinion being that 1t would consolidate British influence in the whole peninsula
 Great interest has been aroused in the banquet and ball to be given on Feb ruary F by Sir Francis H. Villiers, the British minister to Portugal, in honor of King Manuel. The banquet is taken as giving strength to the report of closer union between the two countries through though notwithstanding official denials. It is also believed the meeting of the two sovereigns related, asl well, to a mutual beneficial alliance between Spain and Portugal with the acquiescence of King Edward.

FATE OF COUNTY OPTION
 REPEAL BILL UNCERTAIN

obstacles are appearing to hinder the passage of the Proctor -Tomlinson coun- ty option repeal bill that the fate of the bill in the senate is uncertain. The bill was passed by the house last Thursday.
 Leaders of the republican majority in the senate say that if the bill passes the upper house if will be so amended to strike out the platform ideas of the democrats who control the house. The principal one of these Is the city ward local option. With the proposed amendments the bill would probably win few of the democratic votes which passed 1t through the house in it's orig
