Crowds greeted the speakers everywhere.
 The meeting which Hearst addressed ct Carnegie Hall was announced as Democratic mass meeting and the edi- tor, although he made an attack on Tammany. the principal part of his ad. dress. emphasized that he was for all time .

 At 7:30 D. m. MT. White delivered a strong appeal for the amendment at Pine Apple to an audience of l1O com posed of both men and women. It Is conceded at present that Pine Apple Is opposed to the amendment by a small majority.
 Wilcox County is claimed by both sides There Is no question but that the majority will be very small either way.
 Strong speakers representing both sides of the question are scheduled for a thorough campaign of the county during the few remaining weeks before the election. Colonel W. w. Quarles. of Selma, will speak here tomorrow night in opposition to the amendment.

Majestic Theatre.

A remarkable story of success pre- sents itself in the life history of Ward Baker, the accomplished violinist. who is charming big audiences daily at the Majestic Theatre this week.
 Seven years of his early life were spent on the streets of Chicago and New York. trying to get together enough money to afford himself mu- sical education. The son of very poor parents who could not afford to give this ambitious boy the education he de- sired, and being one of these kind whose watchword is He who will, can," the boy set out to give himself what his parents could not give him, and as stated. 1t was seven long years before an opportunity presented itself to take him to Europe. his desired goal.
 He was fortunate in securing a place in the school of the world renowned Caesar Tompson. After that his way was less difficult, as the great manager, E. R. Johnson, who has managed near ly all of the great celebrities, inclad- ing Nordica, Mme. Chammade. etc, saw a great future before this gifted mu- sician and at once took him and placed him before the public.
 Mir. Baker says that only recently has Manager Johnson made him a busi- ness proposition. which may work out all right. and if 1t does his future will be assured.
 A man who can look back on achieve ments, as can this violinist. has just cause to be proud of his work. and 1t is a fact that Mir. Baker never tires to speak of his early life and advises all who have a certain goal In mind to never let up until 1t is reached.
 It may be well to state that MT. Baker Is past master on the violin, the sweetest of all instruments. and mo- body should fail to hear him at the Majestic Theatre.
