 This was the statement of good old farmer travelling on the train be- tween Hartford and Dothan. made to John V. smith, a prominent lawyer of Montgomery, and which statement came in response to a question as to why he was going to vote against the proposed amendment.
 Mir. Smith was on a speaking tour in that territory. against the amend ment, and made room in his seat on the train for the farmer. Without telling him just what side he was on. he asked the farmer how he stood, and received the reply that he was against the amendment. When asked why, the above was his answer.
 In his subsequent speeches, MT. Smith used the farmers argument; on the grounds that 1t was the most com else statement he had ever heard as to why people of Alabama should vote against the amendment.
 Mir. Smith dropped into the headquar- ters of the anti-amendment forces Tn the Exchange Hotel Saturday. and told of the excellent reception he and ms colleague on the speaking tour, Jonn Bateman. had received at points Tn Geneva and Houston Counties. wnicn counties he predicted would go over- whelmingly against the amendment.
 That BullociSS County will go against the amendment was again predicted by s. P Rainer of Union Springs, who called up headquarters Saturday to assure the committee of the ant- workers that Bullock coYn- ty is safe against the amendment.
 A. F. Gamble and c. E. Hamilton burned the wires from Greenville 10 Montgomery Saturday long enough to tell the campaign committee that there was not the slightest danger of Butler couney helping-A outis,thei amenders' forces any on Nov. 29.
 One of the oldest Confederate vete- rams in Lowndes County, c. F, Rog- CTS of Letohatchie, assured the de- fenders' campaign committee that ms beat would be against the amendment and. from his information, the entire county of Lowndes would turn the amendment down. He declared the lines dere drawn, and the sentimens of the people was absolutely against changing the constitution of the state.
 Senator MAX OA ~s@OptA~f returned to Montgomery Saturday aIteT a strenuous trip through Henry ana Dale counties. He said he was especially gratified at the evidence or prosperity and development arising from the industry and thrift of the people of those counties. He remark ed that he was carried about from place to place in automobiles. over good roads, passing mile after mile or fine farms and commodious homes;
 aotA ha a told the people of that section of Ala bama that they had not begun to see the growth which these counties would receive, and of the great impetus which would follow, when tne pnsn. ing effects of Comerism Is wiped out of Alabama, and the state has once again secured the confidence or the money centers of America.
 After travelling over 400 miles rom the mountain region of Marion and Winston counties, Senator Hamburger arrived at ozark on Monday last, ana was forced to attend a meeting or the which he did with telling effect. although he was not scheduled to speak there until two days later. At his appointed meeting there was an audience that packed the court house to the doors, and they warmly greet ed him as he arrived from Enterprise. Much interest attaches to this par ticular point. because of Senator denunciation of an edi- tor. preacher and politician who had said bitter things about and its Jewish population. The editor retaliated with three column article.
 MT. Hamburger said that the greet ing he had received at the hands of the people of this section, led him to the belief that he would carry at least one beat in that territory, if he should run for an office-say Congressman. This thrust at MT. Martin. the editor of The Ozark Tribune, was caught and much enjoyed by the audience.
 Reports say that MT. Hamburger did not indulge in any abuse. but after some satirical remarks. brought his argument to close by using the old adage: Tt Is a waste of father to shave a mule"
 In the course of his two hours ad- dress the Senator took occasion to de- nounce bigotry fin general and, in re- ferring to the people of Mobile. said the greatest reunion of the old sol- diers of the Confederacy would be held there in April next, and that the chief worker for the success of this occasion will be Jacob D. Bloch. Jew, who will be the general chairman.
 On his recent trip Senator Ham, burger spoke from two to three times a day, and was rendered an enthusias- tic reception everywhere he went.
 Political Pellagra.
 An old Confederate Veteran at Greer's School House, in Elmose Coun- ty. in introducing the speakers for the side. said:
 "In Montgomery in August a child was born aud they named it 'Consti- tutional Prohib ition.' This child is now very much diseased, and it's case has been diagnosed by voters as po- Iitical pellagra and 1t Is bound to die on Nov 29. because 1t has been over
