INDICATIONS ARE THAT DEFEND
Frs WILL CARRY MORGAN
coUNTY-MADISoN AND LIME
STONE ALSO SAFE.

Decatur November 19.-(Special. )-Mor-
gan county will give a majority of at
least 800 against the adoption of the pro-
posed prohibition amendment to the state
constitution, according to the opinion OF
the leading defenders OF the constitution.
The defenders claim that the amendment
Is losing ground every day in this county.
Probate Judge William e. Skeggs, State
Senator William T. Lowe, Attorney W..
w. Callahan and number of other lead
ing men of the Decaturs have taken the
stump and are making speeches over the
county against the adoption of the
amendment, and 1t is said that these
speeches have ch2nged many votes. This
morning Judge s5keggs and Senator Lowe
and others spoke at Flint and tonight
they spoke at Austinville. suburb or
the Decaturs Tomorrow night they will
speak in South Decatur to the men who
are employed in the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad shops.
The amenders are also claiming the
county. but the indications are that the
defenders have the advantage of the sit
nation at this time. The present indi-
cations in this county are that the vote
of the towns and cities of this county
will be about even and that the country
vote will probably be cast against the
amendment. The indications are that the
majority in this county is going to be
small whichever way the election may
go.
1t is generally believed here that Mad
ison and Limestone counties will give
safe maJorities at least against the adop-
ton of the amendment and that Lawrence
county will go for the amendment. The
amenders here are also claiming Jack
son county by large majority.
