Mrs. Elizabeth MacExeIIar of Lowndes
County, Describes Herself as
"Land Poer,o Ascribing
Fault to Negro
VMhOP

Determination on the part Of large
farm owner to eliminate the shiftless
negro laborer and tenant from the
plantation, in accordance with the
lately growing sentiment is embodied
in the letter of Mrs Elizabeth Mac
Rellar of Hayneville, to Secretary
Viewer, of the Commercial Club.
Mrs. MacKellar is the owner of q
plantation in Lowndes County. which
has been entirely conducted by negro
tenants. as is much of the land of
this section. Mrs. MacKellar tells that
she is 'land poor" that. though she
owns the plantation, she gets little or
no profit from 1t. She ascribes the
fault to the class Of labor.
Knowing that the Commercial Club
OF Montgomery has lately taken up
the campaign for white immigration,
for the subdivision of the large farms,
and for The RELOCATION Of the negro
either to the position of laborer under
close supervision. or to elimination all
together, Mrs. MacKellar wrote to
Secretary Viewer.
She tells that after this year she
will have no negro on her lands, and
asks that such prospective white i'm
migrants as are DESTROYS Of locating I'M
Alabama be notified OF the possibilities
opened by her land.
Along this line much discussion has
arisen In the Commercial Club, and
among leading Montgomery citizens of
late. 1t is probable that the subdi-
vision Of the big plantations and the
sale of the smaller lots to white linz
migrants will be pushed as means Of
bestowing prosperity and wealth as
soon as this years crop Is made, and
when the relaxation time OF the fall
and winter comes.

Local Option Men May
Fight.
EXTRA SESSION CALL
MAY COME EARLIER
liquor Men Are Advertising Special
Bills.
Governor Has Not Announced Exact
Date for tslature--compulsory
Education win probably Be
Included I'm Call.

The publication in yesterdays Ad-
vertiser of advertisements of three
bills TO be introduced at the extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature. designed to do
away with prohibition in the county
Of Montgomery, gave rise to the rumor
that Governor Conner might intercept
the move by issuing his call inside
the next four weeks. This might in
terfere with his changed plans to hold
the session very late in July, yet 1t
is said that he might make the sacri-
fee in order to render impossible the
anti prohibition legislation.
The acts which the liquor men de-
sire to be passed are purely local.
Section 1O6 of the State Constitution
provides that all special or local bills
must be advertised at least once
week for four consecutive weeks IN
newspaper of the county affected by
the proposed legislation. II the Gov
ernor decides to call the Solons into
extra session before July 10. It Is cal
cuiated that the local bills will never
have existence.
The Governor, however, has never
given out the exact date of the extra
session. He may stick to his plan or
holding late in July without regard
to advertisements of local liquor bills
The legislation, of which notice was
printed IN 4he AoNCItASCAs pASkSeNS "
legalize the sale OF liquor in Mont
gomery County except where 1t is pro-
'hibited by SPECIAL laws; to legalize the
manufacture OF liquor In the county
in the same territory, and to permit
the manufacture and sale Of what Is
commonly called near beer" referring
to all beverages which contain per
cent of alcohol and less.
1t is judged from these advertise
ments that, unless the Governor de-
rides to scratch it by an early call,
there is TO be united stand by the
anti-prohibitionists OF the Legislature,
or more properly the local option fac
ton of that body. The rally may be
made in behalf OF Montgomery County.
And while this is the talk from the
one side. from the other comes the
runor that the prohibitionists will hus-
band all their efforts to strengthen
md make more severe the Statewide
act. Harsh measures. such as change
of venue for the State in prohibition
laws. confscation OF liquor in places
guilty of violating the law and for
feiture of social club charters. are
slated for passage or at least muon
agitation at the extra session.
It 10 said further that the Governor
Ia becoming more and more committed
to compulsory education on which he
has spoken 30 often and favcrably.
This may be one OF his pet reform
measures to be included In the cali.
