VANDERBILT CUP
 RACES THE BEST

New York, October 27-'This years Vanderbilt cup race will be the best fastest and safest contest of the kind ever held in this country said w. K Vanderbilt, Jr, today, after he had watched some of the drivers cut out for trial spins, preparatory to Saturdays event, and had made two rapid circuits of the course in his own machine.
 With favorable weather conditions g he continued, "I am convinced that a new American road record will be made by the winner
 "The altering of the race conditions so that only stock cars will compete this year is, in my opinion a distinct advan- tage. Under the new rules I think the contest will show that the American built car is now on even terms with the for elgn machine.
 My original idea, when I presented the cup for competition way back in 1904, was to develop the product of the Amer ican manufacturer and put us on a level with the foreign makes. For years France led the world in the making of automobiles, largely because of the in- formation which their makers gained through good races. Now the American builder is beginning to show them"

DRIVER IS TO TRY FOR MILE TRACK RECORD AT THE FAIR GROUNDS NEXT TUESDAY-DE- TAILS ALL WORKED OUT.

When the auto fans see the noted Barney Oldfeld. premier of all track drivers, send his worlds record hold ing Benz car against Father Time next Tuesday afternoon, they will see one of the most daring drivers in the world.
 Aren't you afraid of being killed in making those turns?" was asked Old field the other day at Atlanta when ho was trying out the new speedway in his big 150-horse power car.
 NO" was Barney's prompt answer. "You see if I were going to die at the wheel of my car it would be folly for me to try and stop the old boy Fate. I believe I will go when my time comes and there is no amount of precaution that will stop me. When l climb into the seat of my car l always make up my mind to get all there Is out of it and I forget all about danger. Why if danger played any part In my rac- ing career I would have stopped long ago At St. Louis 1 went through the fence and yet it never hurt my nerve in the least. You see, had I been doomed to die at track racing, that would have been the end of my career right then and there.
 Then take the terrible spill I had at Detroit, Mich., when l almost tore my scalp off (and the great Barney pointed to the big scar on his fore head.) Again it was demonstrated that I was not to die driving racing car. I believe the reason so many people are hurt driving automobiles at nlg rate of speed Is because they look for it after they get to going better than a mile a minute. This Benz car of mine will hardly run under mile a minute and unless 1t is going a mile in 54 or 53 seconds it doesn't behave right.

DAMAGING TESTIMONY.
Deposit of $eoooo Does Not Appear on
 Bank Books.

Pittsburg, October N.-James E. Full ton, bookkeeper of the Monongahela Ma tional bank of this city. proved good witness for the prosecution today in the trial of D. J. Richardson, former cashier of the defunct Cosmopolitan National bank, on trial on charges of making false reports to the comptroller of the cur rency and false entries in the bank s books.
 The bank records show that the Cos mopolitan National bank deposited S90,- GOO with the Monongahela National bank February IA, 1908. but Fulton testified that no such deposit had been received.
 P. E. Wagner, another witness, was shown the report of the bank, submitted to the comptroller of the currency on December 3, 1907, and said Richardson had requested him to alter it so as to meet the reserve as required by law which he did, making the report show an excess, it is alleged of the actual amount on hand.

GOVERNOR COMER'S FIRST MES SAGE TO THE LEGISLATURE: There is almost a universal demand that we have a well defined local option law. This has been debated through the state and Is clearly understood. I will simply suggest that 1t is one of the essential features of our great democ- racy that the majority shall rule"
 Behold what political progression has brought upon the state of Alabama. The longest. most drastic bill ever put upon the statute books of any state statewide prohibition--now an amend ment so covertly designed. so menda- ciously worded that its own friends do not know which face to look in-you can make wine according to one politi- cal doctor; you cannot make wine ac- cording to another.
 Governor Conner was elected on a platform having a local option plank.
 When the doctors disagree it is wise thing not to take the medicine. The amenders are far apart on the proposed amendment questionable pro- tection of the home: just as they are wide apart on the workings of the Full. Ter bill. Governor Conner said at Tal- lassee.
 "YOu can have little supper party In your own home, or you can give barbecue in your own yard. And you can give each guest much liquor that he will go home dead drunk. That is what you can do under this amend ment."
 But you can't according to Judge Armstead Brown, appointed by Govern or Conner. When a party of persons took home from a barbecue on Catoma fE left over and were arrested were on trial. Referred to the ". c. T. U. as to the moral question involved; to Judge Weakley as to the legal. Now you see and now you don't!
 The Meth odist Episcopal church of Cordoya passed the following resolu- ton:
 Whereas, we believe in a complete separation of church and politics; therefore
 Be it resolved, That we denounce the political parsons who are desecrating many churches In the state by holding political rallies in said edihces on the Sabbath day, and we forever forbid the use of this house for such desecratfOn upon the Sabbath any other day.
 The laws already upon the statute books through the lobbying of Law renee and Weakley put a premium upon perjury. Any scamp may go into court and openly swear a falsehood against a good citizen whom he dis likes and cause his imprisonment by falsely charging him with violating the Fuller bill. Section 291a of the Full Ter bill is as follows:
 "And no person who testi6es with re- spect to any unlawful act under this statute or other statute for the sup pression of the evils of intemperance shall be prosecuted. In respect to any

 Does any citizen doubt but that the triumvirate Conner. Lawrence and Weakley would proceed upon the same lines, if the amendment were adopted, as set forth in the above section?
 Col. Hilary A. Herbert a dis tinguished Alabamian, says:
 "The second section of the constitu- tiOnaI amendment eOntravenes the fun damentaI idea of the sanctity of the AnglO-SaxOn home, empowering the legislature to authorize n search with out even making a bond"
 Only four men were present in the secret caucus in Governor Corners of flee when the trap was set for the free men of Alabama. They spread the net, however, in the sight of men who know when their homes and their liberties are endangered. The amendment fs de feated. The only question now is will it be by 10000 or by 20,e00 majority.
 If the amendment should carry by a narrow majority, now improbable, it would result in not over 45,000 voters fastening an onerous affix to the con- stitution, while at least 100000 voters would have no voice in the matter.
 To the ghost fighters" The saloon is dead; the nude female figure on the bottle Is a thing of two years ago. The blind tiger only Is with us. The peo- pie of Alabama want you to keep out of their homes. Your amendment seeks the power to invade them.
 
 Captain Hobson said 1t was mistake to submit the amendment at this time.
 How can the amendists expect the voter to follow them when they are already disagreed among themselves as to the true meaning of the proposed amendment?

 The amendists began by claiming 1000 majority in the state. They now claim it by only 10000 majority. They are on the slide. They are cutting down their ma Jority each week. In four weeks their majority will have dis appeared and safe majority will ap- pear on the other side when the votes are counted.
 The best way for a man to build a wall around his son Is by precept and example-nOt only temperate but sober at all times!
