Antithesis to Proposed Amendment. Walker County News.


 The following articles of the Fed- eraI Constitution show in spirit at least. antithesis to the proposed con. stitutionai amendment for Alabama and the Fuller-licker law.
 "Art. ". The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects. against unreason. able searches and seizures shall not be violated"
 "Art VI Tn all criminal prosecu- tions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the State and dis trict wherein the crime shall have been committed"
 And yet Comerism in this State, and Candidate weakley overlook these fun damental laws in their ambition for power and try to ride into it. on the prohibition wave. Fundamental laws are intended to stem the tide of mad dened frenzy and to provide for reason and sanity.

 This record does not agree with tha, which was sent by the inquirer, but do not know how to clear up the gene- aIogy. In this article the statement is made that William Browne and Alice Eaton were married about the timo of the Revolution, but the date seems to be incorrect since John Browne. who was Commissary General during the Revolution. was the son of William and Alice Eaton Browne. Then again the article does not show who John (3) is, but Is evidently intended for John Browne CD. son of the codple above

 The dates indicate that Alice Eaton was in the generation in which came Ann Eaton, daughter of William Eaton and Mary Rives above. Ann Eaton married Andrew Haynes of North Caro- lima. Tn the next generation the Haynes and Stilie families are united by marriage. Descendants of these families can probably place Alice Eaton but have not her genealogy at hand Information Is solicited.
