Huntsville. Nov. -(Special)-W
F. Garth, member from the Eighth
District of the Constitution Defend
ers' Campaign Committee, has return
ed from Montgomery and Birming-
ham after having attended the fair
and the meeting of the committee.
Mr.. Garth is enthused over the pros
pect for the defeat OF the amend
ment. He said the reports made by
the committeeman showed that the
proposition is beaten by at least 49,
900 and possibly $4,000 votes.
Mr.. Garth does not believe that the
amenders will carry single county in
the Eighth District. Heretofore the
defenders have been conceding that
the amenders might carry one and
probably two counties in the district,
Lawrence and Jack son, but late re-
ports from those counties indicate that
they will line up with their neigh
boring counties and return good ma
jerities against the amendment.
United States Court attendants here
today say that Lawrence county is
close but that Jackson county will
probably go two to one against the
amendment.
The defenders have bestirred them
selves in Madison county and are 60
Ing to try to add some votes TO the
400 majority that has been conceded
to them for some time. Headquar-
tiers have been openend and people
from all parts of the county drop in
there every day.
State Senator Spragins, who made
such a strong fight in the Senate
against the measure Is to be given an
enthusiastic endorsement by the peo-
pie at the polls.
The amendment faction held a Sun
day afternoon rally in the Elk theatre
and heard an address by Rev. ]. G..
Adams. an Arkansas preacher who is
making a campaign in this section in
favor of the amendment.

Secretary of State Frank N. Julian.

sharpening his official axe with which
he win go after the scalps of insurance
companies doing business In Alabama
without license.
Unauthorized companies have made
themselves a source of much trouble to

to protect legitimate operators.
The extensive operations of the free
hooters were brought home forcibly to
the department yesterday, when infor-
nation was revealed to the effect that
although Montgomery ranks as one of
the largest cotton centers of the coun-
try. the local legitimate insurance
agents obtain but little of the busi-
ness of insuring the 100000 or more
bales that are received here during the
season. Several agents have complain

by the unauthorize companies, and the
determination of the state Insurance.

1t may be that grand juries will be

The laws are many and rigid, but be-
cause OF the probable collision between
customer and agent, instances OF the
operations of unauthorized companies
are rarely detected

convicted of doing business without IL
cense shall be fined. under section 1859
of the Code. not less than 500 nor more
than $500 or imprisoned for not more
than thirty days. The penalty applies
also to adjusters for the unlicensed
companies. Customers of unauthorized
companies should pay to the state. ac-
cording to section 1851 of the Code, one
percent of the gross premiums paid by
them; adjustsrs working for the I'M
authorized companies should, by set
ton 2582, cause to be paid to the state
one-half of one percent OF the amount
paid on the loss adjusted by him. or
be fined as an agent of an unlicensed

None of the regulations, according to
the secretary of state, have been COM

A representative of The Advertiser
spent Sunday last in the vicinity of
Mountain Creek, visiting the Alabama
Soldiers Home, and, at the same time,
feeling the pulse of voters both at the
Home and in the vicinity of Mountain

The old soldiers stand about eight

now about seventy-five men at the
Home, of which number, probably not
more than fifty will vote. So, 1t ap-
