JUDGE PARKS IS
 IN BIRMINGHAM Author of Bill Discusses
 Local Option FIGHT IN CONVICTION Says Framers of Measure Had No Other Object Than Allowing
 Each County to Express Its Choice
FIGHT IN CONVICTION

Judge W. L. Parks of Andalusia, who represented Covington county In the low CT house of the legislature and who is the author of the Parks local option bill, is In the city on legal business. The pro- hibitionists won the liquor fight In Gov ington county by an overwhelming ma iority.
 'The local optionists did not make an active fight stated Judge Parks last night, although had they done so, the county would have probably voted dry. Covington, along with other agricultural counties of the state, is normally in favor of prohibition. In our fight, the prohibi- tionists made a strong campaign, ana the operators of blind tigers aware of the fact that their conduct would have precluded them from obtaining licenses, aided the dry element But since the people have had vote the blind tigers have been bounded from the county and Covington, now, for the first time since 1908 is, in regard to liquor, within the bounds of the law.
 We who aided in establishing local op- tion as the policy of the state, did not have the object in mind of putting the saloon on any county which did not ce- sire it. But we believed that the people ol every county should nave the rlSnl to express itself Contrary to the idea which some newspapers have endeavored to ad- vance, we do not feel rebuked when any certain county votes dry We are will- ing that they take any action which they think wise, and I for one would not raise my voice to establish a saloon in any county which does not desire it.
 Tn my opinion, there are but three counties in the state which ardently de- sired the licensed sale of liquor, Mobile, Montgomery and Jefferson. They have each obtained their desire, and the ma jority of the people of the state are sat- iSfied.'
 Another prominent visitor who arrived yesterday was Lawrence II. Lee, Su- preme court reporter, and master of the Masons of Alabama. MT. Lee came to Birmingham for the purpose of making an address before local Masons.

RAIN DELAYS THE
 GL|DDEN TOURISTS
Reach WinstOn-Salem After Hard Trip Over Muddy
 Roads

Winston Salem, N. C., October 1s.-Rain and the. fearful condition of the roads between this city and Roanoke, Va, se- riously interfered with the elebaroate plans for welcoming and entertaining inc GIidden tourists here tonight, it being after 10 o'clock before the last cars checked in.
 The pacemaker car closely followed by 10 others, did not arrive until o'clock and the remaining cars came in ct inter vals of five and ten minutes. On account of the heavy rains of the previous day and murl1ey atmosphere this morning the cars did not check out of Roanoke until after Il o'clock and at several points lime was lost while Referee Walker was test ing the roadway.
 The highway just south of Rocky Mount was reported to have been al- most impossible and at other points it was a severe test on both cars and drivers to crawl through the mud Not withstanding these conditions no acci- dents of a serious nature were re- ported.
 Despite the late arrival an immense crowd of people lined the main street here, and the approaching of the tour ists was the signal for hearty cheers from one end of the line to another. A smoker reception was rendered the visitors in the Zenzendorf hotel inn after their arrival.

Who Can Doubt Sworn Testimony of Honest
 Citizens?

Some time ago I began the use of your Swamp Root with the most re- markable results. For years l was al- most a wreck and was a great sufferer. The doctors who treated me made me believe that my great sufferings were due to female trouble. I was so bad at times l would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that 1 had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of which I took several bottles. l obT tained some relief from this but l was getting weaker all the time; l could not sleep and suffered so much pain that my husband and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try Swamp-Root, which did, and 1 am glad to state that the first dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose I was helped into bed and slept half the night.
 I took several bottles of swamp Root and I feel that I owe my life to this wonderful remedy. The two family doctors said that l could not live three months. I would have to be helped in and out of bed ten to twenty times ev- cry night. After taking Dr. kilmers swamp Root for two days I was en- tirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly.
 MRS. D. E. ITILEMAN,
 Tunnelton, W. Va. Personally appeared before me, this 11th day of September, 1909, Mrs. D. D. Hileman, who subscribed the above statement and made oath that the same is true in substance and in fact.

LITTLE BOY WALKS
 STREETS IN HUNGER

From Tuesday noon until last night about o'clock, Roy Martin, the little 10-year-old stepson of Jack Green, fore man of engineers in the Louisville and Nashville yards at Boyles, wandered about the streets of Birmingham without anything to eat.
 He states that he was in the city with his mother and they stopped in front of a bicycle store. just which one he could not remember. While he was looking at a bicycle, his mother moved away and was soon lost in the crowds
 The little fellow states that the family home is at Gate City, but owing to the fact that he did not have car fare he could not go home. He says that he knows all right where he lives He was recently operated upon for appendicitis and could not walk out to Gate City, ac- cording to his statement.
 Being a timid lad he did not dare ask anyone for information as to what he should do and kept on walking around in the hopes of finding someone he knew.
 lie Hlaue HIS Way lo the 4elillHdl sta- ton where he says he was going to spend the night when Patrolman Glover picked him up and sent him to police headquar- ters.
 At the police station he told his story, stating that he had had nothing to eat since noon Tuesday. There was a goodly amount of eatables ordered from a nearby cafe and when they came the little fel- low showed that he had told the truth about being hungry.
 His stepfather was notified and .ame for him last night and they have returned to their home ill Gate City.

where he was called yesterday by news
 of the illness of brother, before the
 days work is concluded. Messrs.
 Letcher and Harold of Montgomery will
 be present and will take part in the
 investigation. Walter Shafer, the well
 known local attorney. will also be among the representatives of the prin- cipais
 For the state Attorney General
 Bricken will examine witnesses if witnesses appear. As far as known he will have no assistant. As to
 whether or not Judge Lane, members of the Jefferson county excise commits sion, or Lee Cowart, immigration com missioner, will take an active part in the investiga tion cannot be learned. Governor O'Neal did not reach Bir- mingham last night and 1t is considered very probable that he will not attend the hearing.
 Colonel Bowman stated last nighs that the introduction of ex parte tes tmony, in the form of affidayits, would be resisted by the defendants. "A wit ness who would give testimony against 1 the character of any man. said he, should appear in person, and the de- l fendants should have the right to cross examine him. The investigation is too | important to be conducted by means of any other testimony than oral We will! ademand the right to cross examine all witnesses"
 l On this point, 1t is expected that very interesting controversy will develop, as | it is understood that the greater portion 1 of the testimony said to be in the hands | of the state consists of affidavits. It is a certainty that no witnesses have been summoned to appear and no indication is | in existence that anybody will visit the scene of the investigation. for the pur- pose of making known his testimony, through voluntary impulse. As far as known, the defendants in the case have not provided for testimony in their Ce- 1 fense, although it is very probable that | such has been done.
 Expressions Guarded 1 The great majority of people have
 purposely refrained from expressing their opinions as to the outcome of ] the investigation, although the idea | holds that the ultimate result will be ] far reaching in it's effect. Colonel | Bowman and Mir. oakley were in the l lobby of the Morris last night, and neither appeared troubled in the least | in that the investigation is to occur. Mr. Oakley, while expressing regret | that the situation has developed, seems very happy that full light is to be
 thrown upon the alleged transaction. | Colonel Bowman was in an exceedingly merry mood, and his demeanor indicated his confidence that the rumors of long standing will be proved to be abso-
 lutely false.
