The gymnosophist with the cunning of a Brahmanic priest has thrown the magic of his personality over govern or, would-be governors, legislature and the chairman of the amenders' campaign committee. Like automatons mere puppets they move, advance, re- tire from the field at his will. The car petbagger oracle gives forth all the deliverances. This, in a state with a proud record from Bibb. it's first gov
 ernor, to Jelks, a state which has pro- duced great statesmen, orators, law yers, preachers and priests. The people of Alabama will have no more of this agitation. They will defeat the amend ment. *%S

 MT Lavender has delivered ten speeches in Cherokee county this week and good crowds greeted him at all appointments.
 The people of this county are decidedly opposed to the amendment without doubt.

The amenders claim to have able men-great men; the brains. the mouth piece and the sagacity of that noble body seem all to have concentrated in an imported agitator, a political par son, a man with hide like a rhinoceros, with audacity but lacking in courage; with piety without conscience; with am bition without patriotism.

Athenians Hear Colonel o'Neal.

Athens November 13.-(Special )-This county is now the fighting ground of the amendist and anti-amendist. Emmet O'Neal spoke to the largest crowd of men here today that has been assem- bled in long time, and he made telling blows for the anti crowd.
 Colonel ONeal was followed by the Rev Adams, who did not hold his crowd after the Florence man quit.
 Several speakers are now in the coun- ty and all are doing all in their power for their respective sides. The people of this county are nearly of one mind It is estimated by the best posted men in the county that the vote will be about six to one against the amendment. Sun day the county will be full of speakers and the ministers are doing all they can for the amendment, but the tide is evidently against them.

Bowman at radeville.

Dadeville, November 13.-(Special.)-P G. Bowman and Judge W. H. Stanley of Birmingham addressed an audience of some 300 men today. making speeches in opposition to the amendment.
 Judge Stanley only spoke very few minutes but Colonel Bowman in spite of the fact that he began his argument by stating that he made this trip in direct conflict with the advice of his physician, nevertheless made fine speech and held his crowd thoroughly with him, though the speaking was right at the noon hour when the people would generally have been thinking of their monday meal.
 MT. Bowman handles the governor pret- ty roughly but 1t seemed to meet the ap- proval of the audience. He repeated his charge made at Birmingham three weeks or more ago and which he said had nevcr been denied that the amendment was the result of a political caucus held in Mont gomery and which had for one of it's main objects the election of Conner to the Sem ate and Weakley to the governors chair
 The speaker, while disagreeing with Brooks Lawrence in many things, and criticising him severely for his arraign- ment of the supreme court, still paid Lawrence the tribute of being a man of brains, saying that he possessed more brains in a minute than the balance of that conference would ever get together.
 MT. Bowman argued before his hearers that however the amendment should go, the controlling of the liquor traffic would still be in the hands of the legislature because the constitutional amendment carries no penalty and with all the pro- hibition laws repealed the speaker con tended that anyone could sell liquor and go unmolested, so that in the end prohibition would still remain In the hands of the legislature. Mir. Bowman resented the idea that a legislature of A1abamians could be bought.
 The speaker claimed that the amend ment would be defeated by an overwhelm- ing majority and the antis in this county are daily becoming more confident that Tallapoosa will be in the anti column.

 "The principle that extends beyond con st1futional bounds as consequence of custom and progress of society Is fatal to liberty and the rights of the body polite, and is a subterfuge used to in- wade natural rights and justice, and has been the mask behind which despOfs and oppressors of the human family have ever taken refuge with their dia- bOIlcaI and heinous acts of susurpa- fion..

 It is historical fact that the search of homes for evidence of of fenses-political, originated in star chamber" MT. Cooley in his great work on constitutional law says:
 "The power of the legislature to au- thorize a resort to this process (search warrants) is one which eau be proper Iy exercised only in extreme cases, and 1t is better oftentimes that crime should go unpunished than that the citizen should be liable to have his prem misses invaded"

JUDGE FALLS STATEMENT
His Reply to McHarg's Accu- sation and Structures of Carpet Bag Office Holders. Former Governor Hager- man Explains.

Fl Paso, Tex, Feb. 2S.-A statement tonight by Judge A. B. Fall, answers the charges against his record as at torney general of New Mexico. He explains his position in reference to the investigation of Special Prosecutor Ormsby of the department of justice, sent to New Mexico in connection with the land frauds.
 According to Judge Fall, McHarg told a falsehood when he informed the sen ate committee on territories that he was hampered by the attorney general of New Mexico in the land fraud in vestigatiOns. The failure of statehood he attributes to unwillingness to all low the senate to pass into the control of radical, or western, legislators
 He said he told BOnaparte. that Me Harg was not competent to do the work in New Mexico because of lack of experience and legal knowledge He said that during the past few years many federal positions in New Mexico have been filled by politicians from other states. "The territories are still full of these men who would not make an honest living, and could not go back to their own states. They don't want to see the territory become a state"

.FOR THE EXTENSION

The Insurance Companies Especially Interested in the Matter.

New York, Feb. 23.-(Special Cor respondence of The Republican.)- Close upon the statement by Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale University that the span of human life in the United States can be increased fifteen years by the adoption of practical hygienic reform, the Association of Life In- surance Presidents today appointed the following committee to consider Prof. Fishers suggestion to have the insurance companies contribute IT. nanciaI support to the campaign of education not being conducted by the Committee of One Hundred, on Ma tional Health:

FOR GOOD OF THE FAIR
Chairman Submits a Proposi- ton For Complete Invest igation of All His Official Acts by Any New Commis- sion Appointed.

Chairman John c. Adams last night forwarded to Governor Kibbey his resignation as a member of the territorial fair commission. Speaking of the matter he said that he was acting wholly in the best interest of the fair. Whatever feeling he may have had in the matter, he believed that things had reached such a stage in the legislature that it would have been impossible to secure an appro- priation if the controversy between him and the governor were allowed to proceed.
 His interest, he said, was not only in the fair as useful institution to the territory, but he felt in a large measure responsible to the 200 or more members of the fair association who, at his solicitation, had sub scribed nearly $30,000 toward the fair.
 Though no longer member of the board, MT. Adams said that he would be as active in a private capacity for 
 been, and as active as one in a pri- vate capacity could be.
 Regarding the charges made by the governor, which were heard in the legislature last week when the com missiOners were commended and which are now being heard by the governor MT. Adams said that he had submitted a proposition in his letter of resignation whereby all of his Of- ficial acts should be investigated by the new commissioners, who ever they might be.
 What course the hearing begun by the governor on Saturday and con- tinued until this morning will now take is uncertain. The preference of the charges was made contingent in the first place on the refusal of MT. Adams to resign. Now that he has resigned it may be that the matter will end where it is.
