low 2O3 eggs annually for every per
son-man, woman and child-in the
United States. The value of all the
fowls, S5,s00,000, would entitlt
every person in the country to 81. l.

Heavenward with breath of bound
less air;
Cradle of Ages in their infancy;
Home of the lustrous centuries that
bear
The footprints of the voiceless,
mighty Past,
And sleep forever beneath sand and

Tomb of the awful gods Of vanished
tribes
Their hope is dead, their british

Now Mind shall meet the Desert
face to face;
Here, Arizona, shall the nations
throng;
Here plant the cherished seeds of

And wage the last great battle OF

UPSHAW MAKES SPEECH
TALKS. AMENDMENT AT THE C0UN-
 TY COURT. HOUSE.
Picture. BIessinE Es- sf- Home and Love of state 8Af IGetg Far Away From Real Is-
 

Replete with bizarre anecdotes. abundant in figures evidently carefully cho for unconventionality. was the speech of W. D. Upshaw. the Georgia prohibition advocate and lyceum speak CT, Friday evening in the Montgomery court house to an audience estimated by the county amendment campaign manager to number BIS people, of whom 50 per cent were women and girls . The speaker simultaneously admitted the weaknesses of arguments for the amendment and indicted the imported leaders from other States who have forced the amendment on. this State as an issue of politica' significance when he evaded the question so far as he Is concerned by saying that 1t IS for the ueople of Alabama to study the need for the amendment and that certainly no outsider can do their thinking for them better than thay can do It them selves and that 1t Is useless for him to attempt to elucidate the reasons Tor the amendment to them.
 He declared it to be his sole purpose to fire the minds of his hearers with enthusiasm for prohibition so that they will be unable to think of anything ex- cept prohibition when at the polls Monday.
 Directly controverting arguments made by many pro. o.smendmentists that the amendment Is sought to be placed in the constitution, for fear or future Legislatures and declaring that prohi- hition has much to fear from Legisia- turas of the future. the speaker as- serted no legislatures will ever dare to endaneer the sanctity of the home by tndlscreet legislation and. in effect, proclaimed all who oppose the amend ment because of fear for the sacred naas of the home from search to be afraid to have their homes searched.
 In one breath he declared that his words should be without bitterness but before his lips had closed from the sneech charged that 1t is the liquor ,ntsrests that are backing the anti amendmenttsts in their campaign and that those on the other side should be ashamed to admit their position; that the flag under which the antt-amend- ists fight is the black nag of piracy homed and housed iu St. Louis, Louis- viIle and Toledo while that of the amendmentists is the white nag of the W. c. T. U.
 No less adroitly was the political na- ture of the present campaign so far as inc amendmentists are concerned
 
 bodied the admission that 1t Is politi- cal: .srhe great pity of 1t all is that so many good men are on the other side because of side issues that have been thrust forward and become part of the main issue"
 Throughout his speech the audience was evidently with the speaker. but at the close of his talk. playing upon the sentiments of his hearers through love for their State and the iost cause in which if played so great part, ap- nAaline to them through a word pic- ture of William L. Yancey. playing up- on their feelings through the tenderest ties of family love and climaxing with charges for patriotism. he swept them off their feet but no close analogy was shown to exist between the ngures pointed and the amendment question confronting them.

NOTABLE PERSONS AT
 CORNER STONE CEREMONY

In the story of the ceremony of lay ing the corner stone of the Alabama woman's College published Friday morning 1t was inadvertently omitted that the opening prayer of the ser- vices was made by Rev. o. c. McGehee. pastor of the Court Street Methodist Church.
 An interesting statement by pr. John Massey in placing package of matter In the corner stone was the reference to the fact that two per- sons were present who witnessed the corner stone laying ceremonies of the college at Tuskegee in 1856. They we're Mrs. James H. Judkins and Col William B. Jones. The woman's col lege is the successor of the Tuslegee school.
 An excellent music program was given during the Thursday ceremony. It was given under the direction of Professor Rienzi Thomas by a select ed choir of number of voices. Pro- lessor Thomas will be in charge of the music department of the woman's college when 1t is completed.
