Limestone Against the Amendment


 John H. Peebles of Limestone county was in town yesterday the guest of his daughter, Mrs. F. Richardson. Tn speak ing of political conditions in the north- ern counties Mir. Peebles said: Lime stone will roll up several hundred ma jority against the proposed amendment to the constitution. The farmers of my county are opposed to police regulations in the organic law of the state and they do not propose to jeopardize the se- curity of their homes by giving to the legislature the right to say your home Is outlawed if you keep a flask of whisky there, subject it to invasion if somebody asserts a flask Is there.
 "The pouring into the gutter Of domestic wines at Athens the other day by the sheriff of the county was striking ex- ample of the injustice and intemperance of the Fuller laws and did much to solidify the votes against the amendment to the constitution.
 '"The people in Limestone do not want open saloons over the county We had a dispensary in Athens long before the ques- ton of statewide prohibition was preached. we wouldn't have open sa- looms scattered over Limestone even if there were no prohibition laws the statue books, but we will not vote for the amendment and neither will Madison or Morgan, the adjoining counties"

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES

THE MISSISSIPPI. Hear that steamboat whistle, Floating round the bend! Say beodbye to happy home, Leave your dearest friend. Hustle up the gang plank, Wave your hand to all: A fellows heart must answer When he hears the river call. Laughing, signing river,
 Winding to the sea; Choose your trains and aeroplanes, The river trip for me! Dreaming, smoking while the shores Slip, slip along; Far away from cotton fields Comes the darkey's song. Purple night is stealing down, Softly shines the moon. While the throbbing of the engines Lulls me like a. mothers croon. Strange and weird, the eddies speak, Gossipfng below; A symbol of eternity,
 The rivers mighty flow!
