 Montgomery Oct 10. 1908.
 Here are some statistics appropriate to the times:
 Population In the continental Unit ed states. 04,246252. Church mem bership. s2,sS6,445, 3s1 is the average of church membership to population bership 2i2.sss per cent of member ship to population Is 29S. Kansas. l. 61z,471 population. membership, 4bs.- is per cent of membership to popuia-
 So here. both Kansas and Maine are below In average in proportion or church membership to population.
 The record on marriage and di- vorces makes record no less unfav- orabIe to the states with constitution al prohibition in Maine, 14,l94 diyor- ces; marriages, s6.592; one to every six. New York. 2s.I25 dlvorces 10 r. 205, 655 marriages. or only one divorce per centage in the United States of en. II of men, 5.a. In Maine the same percentage is of women, 3,s; of men, l6,s Death rate percentage from al coholism, 100000 in Alabama in 1909. cause for same time, 2.16 per cent. Birth over deaths per year per 1000 of population from 1890 to 1900, Maine 2.0l per cent; Pennsylvania was 14.y per cent
 Thus from religious. moral and so- ciai standpolnts. there Is shown less progress, and well being in the states where constitutional prohibition cn- tains. than in those states where 1t has not been adopted. Here are statisticaI facts which mean much--particuiarIy at this time. when it Is sought to. place Alabama in the list of now pro- gressive states rellgiously. 1 morally and socially.

LAUDERDALE CROPS.
Yield Only One Thousand Bales Lesm
 Than Record.

Florence, Oct. 16-- Especial. l. The good cotton reports sent out from this county are now justified as it is know, that the yield will be about 14.0Oo bales. This is only 1000 short of the 1907 crop which was the high water mark up to that time.
 Last year the. crop was over 1S.0OA bales. but that was the largest cron by 5000 bales ever produced in Lau- derdaIe County. Up to last year the crop in this county had snown a large yearly increase. out of proportion to the increased acreage. but due to i'm proved methods practiced py the plant CTS.

We admit that he was an eminent scholar and writer and prominent diplomat. but he was rank sectional partisan withai The matter quoted was written just after the war had closed, when almost the entire North was boiling with rancor and hatred towards the South. and when the man who said or wrote the bitterest and, most utterly false things about the South and the Southern people was the man to win applause and honor from the people whose venom and hate towards this section knew no bounds oor limitations. and who lavished their warmest praises and highest honors on those who were most gifted in the way of maiigning the South.
 Lowell's erudition and position should have made him more broad minded, more fair and more careful of his statements. but he was a fair type of the Massachusetts Yankee of the war period; narrow, prejudiced and unwilling to admit anything good in the South. and not at all careful In his statements regarding the South and its people. Whether in the quar- ter century of his life after he wrote the sentiments quoted he changed his views is not the question. The main point is that supposedly reputable London publication will go back for ty-four years to find something mean, and false to say about the people of our section. That is the main thing that surprises us at present.

The Outlook.

Never during the present campaign fight will be a warm one ana the vic- tory for the antl-hmendment forces in the election to be held on November 2S. when the people by their ballots will say if the Constitution of, our fore fathers, which was good enough for them, shall be mutilated and ptoni bition clause be inserted therein. Or al- wed 10 remain as 1t is.
 The Item has always conceded the fight will be war none and the vie- tory win be we'll won If the amend ment is defeated.
 in saying 1t believes the victory Is fairly won by the anti-amendment forces. This belief comes apout through most favorable reports coming however, from the cities but from the rural districts The sentiment IS changing rapidly in favor Of the oppo- sition and The Item fully believes that were the election held tomorrow there would be a signal victory for the antis. With this belief firmly fixed The Item cannot but believe the victory will De a sweeping one on the 2Sth day Of No. vember and the rebulSe to the forces who would nominate and dictate the personal rights and privileges of the people will be most emphatic and de- servedly 80.
 There was time. since the campaign began, when The Item had Just z shadow of doubt as to the results but that shadow has disappeared and the belief is now firmly fixed, nor will II be shaken by all the claims of the amenders may make, until tine returns disproves the opinion now lIeld by this paper. The amenders still maintain the fight is a question of whiskey CT no whIskey The Item maintains 1t is a question of right and personal privi- leges. The Item will ever believe a man has the right of protection Tn hts religious and political beliefs, granted by the greatest Constitution that was ever drafted And that same Consti- tuition tells every American that hls home Is his castle,
 The amenders would have the un- thinking man to believe that the fight is not against any mans home. nor against his personal privileges in his own castle. But not one or them has yet told the people from the. rostrum ar through the medium of their papers that should the amendment carry a man will be safeguarded in his home from that odious writ of search and seizure which goes hand in hand with the d.cus Fuller law. Not even Hon samuel D. wegkley, the self-appointed champion and law drafting power of the prohibition forces has told any gathering from the speakers stand that the sanctity of the Constipation would De drawn around their family circles.

The great city of New York believes in doing things on large scale. There is to be an election for city officials and there are now eleven municipal tickets in the field. Three of these. the Democratic.

At any rate there are enough candidates to keep things moving.
