TENNESSEE co. TO RAISE
 WAGES ON FIRST OF MAY

It is authoritatively announced that the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany will advance the wages of it's em- ployes and that the advance will become effective May 1.
 In a large operating company, in the very nature of things, inequalities in wage conditions are arising from time to time, and therefore the advance an nounced by the Tennessee company will be in the nature of a wage adjustment. sss....ss................ says the issues of the last campaign are dead, and yet is using that old battle cry. whisky or no whisky, saloons or no saloons, to rally every ghost of the amendment forces.
 "O'Neal Is going to be governor of Ala bama. Intolerance will die, fanaticism will hide its head, and history will shrink back into it's shame.''
 Senator Lowe Introduced Lee C. Cowart then introduced Senator Lowe as one of the 10 state senators who stood against the amendment MT. Lowe said that he needed but one reason to vote against MT. Mallory. we had that amendment defeated in the senate for 10 days. It was pigeon-holed, and Conner, nor Weakley, nor even Brooks Lawrence could move it. I saw this man from Ohio put his hands on this man from Selma. and I saw him influence the two senators to vote for its submission. If any one man in the state of Alabama. is entitled to the glory of that amendment it is MT. Mallory. If any one man should bear the burden of that amendment MT. Mollary is that man
 "He was used, and although I believe he would have preferred not to have done it. he might be used again. We do not want such an influence in the chair as governor of this state.
 "Is he sincere? Did he not go up and down this state and tell us that the amendment was a great moral issue with no politics in it. no selfish political pur- pose. How sincere is that purpose which can now say that a great moral issue is dead. and T am willing to let it stay dead?' Where Is the man who can say that he is willing to let a great moral question die and stay there?
 ''It is not at the bier of the amendment that they are weeping today, but at the bier of those few self-constituted poli- ticians that died with it.
 MT. Mallory is trying to line up all the amenders, and fool enough of the others to slip him into office. This is the first time I have seen man trying to land himself in an office on a dead issue.'
 He told the old story of the negro who tried to follow the doctors prescription and blow calomel down the throat of his sick mule He applied it by saying that few politicians behind closed doors de- cded that the people of Alabama were mighty sick. They called in physician from Ohio. who prescribed heroic dose constitutional prohibition. The doctor told them that all they had to do was to take the tube. whisky or no whisky, and they would find the patients sleeping with their mouths wide open and all they had to do was to blow. and blow hard But the people blew first, and how SICK some of them have been since.
 Hike David. though the amendment may be dead. but on the 2d Of May lets cut it's head off.
 "They ask you to vote against Mir O'Neal. claiming that he voted for Pal mer and Buckner. an issue which mas elect a. man though the issue on which he fell has been dead only five months. O,NeaI is the man to put stop and check to the career of fanaticism in this state"
 Mayor walker of Florence
 At the call of the audience Mayor Wal ker of Florence went to the platlorm anu was introduced as the man you nave heard so much about recently in the pa pers.'
 "If you people believe what you have read in the papers about me, I am the last man in the woorld to address good gov ernment club. Any man who says struck Editor Moores in the back lies in his teeth"
 He then narrated the incidents which led up to his fight, and when he came to that part where the Florence heraia con, tradicted his declaration that ONeai voted for Bryan. capped 1t with, And any man who says it isn't so, deserves a cow hiding from me-" He declared that he would always fight for Colonel O'Neal. who is the best friend l have, and If. when I go back down there those fel- lows shoot me down, I hope the epitaph over my grave will be- He died for his frtcnds! /"
