Beat Would Go Heavily Against
 Amendment.
 Waveriy, Ala, Sept. Il, 1909. Editor The Advertiser:
 As I have not seen anything from this portion of the great State Of Alabama in any of the papers in re- gard to the prohibition amendment. I thought that there would be nothing amiss in letting the people of the State know that while this beat. No. 10. Chambers County, went overwhel,, mingly for prohibition in the local option election just before Conner Co. passed the Statewide act. if the elec- ton on the amendment was to come off today it would be defeated as bad as the anti-local optionists were In said election. l do not know of a man in my neighborhood, nor near it. who will vote for it. The prohibition ist who canvassed the beat getting petitions for the election upon local option told me yesterday that he thought prohibition was being run into the ground. and that he could not vote for the amendment. but would vote against 1t.

 The Star notes with regret that some of the newspapers favoring constitu- tional prohibition are endeavoring to draw ladies into the contest. One newspaper urges the good ladies to set cry man votes for con stitutional prohi- bition. Another newspaper urges them to be "very active" The Star trusts that the ladies will keep out of this contest. Woman's sphere IS separate and apart from political strife. This is a political game and solely a gem tleman's game; The men will settle 1t. The ballot is secret and the elector will vote as he chooses. Please don't interfere.

Three Florida Generals. nhiln Rapiafar


 Florida has three surviving general officers of the Confederate army resi- dent In the State: Major General $. G. French. of Pensacola, aged 92; Briga = dier General Afford Iverson, of Kissim- mee, also crowned by the years, and Major General E. M. Law, of Barrow. General Law, who Is editor of The Cou- rier-Informant at Barrow, gives from his own pen these proofs of his youth: General Law is and always has been q young man. When made Confed- : crate brigadier he was the youngest general officer in the service. When superintendent of the South Florida Military Institute he was young enoug ! to be a friend of every cadet under his charge. He has nine grandchildren and they think that he Is as RyounR they are. He is young enough to edit weekly newspaper. and man wh0 can stand that cant be old. And he Is young enough to boost his favorite candidate root for the home baseball team and take the children to the GIT ruS."
 At least this young-o'd man will be expected here at the reunion; and We hope the others may come, too.

HIS PEOPLE NEED HIM.

Fine Tribute Is Paid to Judge N. ID.
 Densou.
 Editor The Advertiser:
 note in your paper of the 9th that Judge N D. Denson had rendered his resignation to Governor Conner as As sociate Justice of the Supreme Court. I am not surprised that he has taken that course. Judge Denson is in de- mand. His people have use for him. They want him where they can have his counsel; where they can get his services; where they can get him to attend to their law business. He is wanted on every hand, His name is in every household in Chambers Coun- and respect. Have no way of know ing his Intentions, but the writer does know he is wanted by a great many people to run for Congress for the Fifth District. If he does, he Is a sure winner. Respectfully.

The Legislature had already prohibited the keeping of Iiauors In Tn could think of, except your residence. and under the present constitution they could not prohibit one from keeping It In his residence, hence the necessity for the second section of the amend ment.

Our list of improvements for the
year would be conspicuously incom-

valuable additions to Redwood Falls

Perhaps the most important of
these is the buildings just recently

described quite fully last summer in

REDWOOD FALLS ADDS TO ITS
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT IN 1909
Electric Light and Plant Complete New Home Tel
ephone Installation, New Machine Shop and Garage.
Stock Yards improvements Etc.

This week the new lights were
turned on for patrons of the Elec-
trio Light and Power Co., and they
are certainly an improvement on the
old, with their soft, white illumina-
ton. THE GAZETTE tried to get a
statement of the total investment
made by Mr.. Burmeister in the i'm
provements which have been going
on for the past eight months or
more, but will have to be content
with a general statement that they
have probably exceeded twenty
thousand dollars and that they rep
resent an increase in the value of
the plant greatly exceeding that
sum.
AS has been said before, it will
take time to demonstrate the real
value of this Improvement to our
city, but united action on the part
of oar business men might do much
to secure some growing industry
that would ultimately use all of the
power developed here, aside from
what is needed for lighting and wa
ter works and for the Touring mills
1t is sufficient to say that the install
lati0n is good for 300 horse power
as it stands, and that the 900 foot
fume has capacity for furnishing
1000 horse power under high water
conditions like those which have ex-
cited good share of the past year.

Had the time been extended to

PRODUCE COMPANY BUSY.
Paid Nearly Forty thousand Dollars for
Produce in Eight Months.

At the request of The GAZETTE, it
was ascertained Monday that the
local produce company, under the
management of Otto Melges, had
paid out $4,000 for produce and
expenses during the past eight
months, or at the rate of nearly
$4,000 per month. The company
shipped five full cars of eggs ito
market during this time, and enough
more in local shipments to make
four cars more, or nine cars in all,
paying out in all S19,500 for the
single item of eggs during the eight
months.
The company also shipped seven
cars of live poultry, costing $4,000.
besides local shipments in coops, so
that the biddies of this vicinity
should be credited with bringing in
nearly $4,000 in pin money which
ought to go mostly to the house
