The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-10-13

In fact, we are firmly convinced that if merit consists in public spirit. and not in being pro-amendist, according to MT. Jenkins ideas. we could show an over- whelming number of honorable citi- zens."
 In addition to the gentlemen named representing the legal talent of this city opposed to the amendment-and we think they compare in morals and intellect most favorably with their colleagues-we could mention hundreds of others Just as worthy of consideration who are laborlng at the plants of the Gadsden Car Works, the Dwight mills, the steel plant, Alabama Consolidated, the Gadsden Pipe and Fit tings plant, the Coosa Pipe plant, the Southern Manufacturing company, Camp bell Manufacturing company, Southern Shovel Manufacturing company, the A. x J. Stove Works. Kyle Lumber com pany, etc There arc other lawyers, phy- scians. merchants, contractors, who will go to the polls on November % to casr vote against this amendment, but who are intrusting the active defense of the constitution to few of their friends. The man of quiet habits and few words feels just as intensely as any street orator and can be depended upon to do his full duty at the proper time. Votes on November 20. gentlemen, will settle this question-nothng else
 We have shown only few samples of our large line. and the balance of our stock is guaranteed to be equal in every respect.
 As Mr. Jenkins says, many others just as worthy and prominent might be men toned, but what is the use? None of us care for the limeight of newspaper notoriety, but for fear friends out side of Gadsden might class us with the 'unmentoned honorables'' referred to Mr. Jenkins, We have deemed 1t necessary to modestly state where we are at this momentous time.
 Dear friends, do not lose faith in Eto- wah, not yet There may be consider able revision in the honor roll on No vember 30, 1909 and some of the "honor- ables of the present moment may be employed in extensive repairs on a num- Der of shattered pedestals
