kennels, between walls and in other
places where it would supposedly be

liquor in a stovepipe and dispensing it
TO his customers
Wallace had up to this time borne a
good reputation and was successful in
passing the rigid test imposed on APP
plioants for a license to run a restau-
rant. The place where he was caught
however, had formerly been used as a
blind tiger, and his environment prob
ably caused his downfall. He was fined
$500 and given a sentence of six months

Warmly Applauded
Mr. Conner was warmly applauded at

he was TO some extent criticized for not

that Mr., Comer's treatment of him was
both uncivii and ungenerous. Mr.. Conner

turned to Montgomery. The crowd that

have been one OF the largest that ever
assembled In this county for a political

Mr.. Conner has never carried Bullock

stronger in Bullock county now than he

Discusses Local Option Convention

Captain Kolb professed to be in igno-
rance of the plans of certain politicians
TO call a local option convention for
Montgomery in September for the purpose
of eliminating all save one local optionist
from the list of gubernatorial candidates.
Il have heard nothing of the plans,
said he, save what appeared in The
Age-Herald of this morning. 1t is un-
necessary to state, therefore, that l have
not been invited to attend and show my
strength.
II am entirely satisfied with the pros
poets, and desire to state again that
am in the race to win. and will be in
the race unto the end"
His intimation was very strong that
unless he received the nomi. t.ton of the
convention--in case it is heId-he would
not be bound by any action which il
might take.

GIVES OUT LETTER

Insists That Troy Man Did Not Sup

Supported Mallory and
Prohibition

Reuben f. kolb, while in Birmingham
last night, repeated his charge that
Charles Henderson in 1910 deserted the
standard of Emmett O'Neal and local OPP
ton and embraced that of Col. H. S. D.
Mallory and prohibition.
Mr.. Henderson, said Captain Kolb,
is no more of a local optionist than
Conner or Seed. He is hardly as good
as either. As a matter of fact, his en-
vironment is such that he could not be
local optionist If he desired to be-

statement was not published in all of
the editions of that paper, l have heard
that subsequently Mr.. Henderson expend-
ed the sum of $1,000 in an effort to secure
all the edition in which his statement
appeared.

Cannot Be Local Optionist

Il charge that he is not and cannot he
a local optionist. | charge that he did
not support O'Neal and local option, and
that he did support Mallory and prohibi-
tion. At Centreville, Ray Rushton about
a week after the publication of Hender-
sons card in the Advertiser, made d
speech in which he stated that Henderson
would support Mallory
Captain Kolb then gave out a copy of
the Henderson statement to which he had
previously made allusion In the state
ment, Henderson is quoted as having saio
that the interests which financed the cam
paign against the amendment were max
ing demands for compensation and that
in the short time between that date and
the date of the primary, he could not
make his position clear.
Now" asked Captain Kolb last night,
'the point is this: If at that time Hen
derson felt that he was under such OBJ
legations to the interest to which he re-
ferred that he could not be governor is
he not still under those obligations? And
if he is not, then how has he managed to
discharge them?'

Henderson Statement


The statement alleged to have been
printed by Mr.. Henderson in the Adver-
tser February and given out last night
by Captain kob follows
Il am not a candidate for governor.
When | made the announcement of my
candidacy I was assured of the neutral
attitude of certain powerful influence,
ard was led to believe that the cpnserYa-
tive principles for which l stood would
be accepted by majority of the people
of Alabama.
"ln the recent amendment contest, |
stood against the adoption of the proposed
constitutional amendment because | be-
lieved its adoption would have infringed
on certain principles of free government.
We contended i'm that campaign that the
question of saloons or no saloons did not
enter into that contest. Subsequent de-
me that the allied interests that financed
the amendment campaign are demanding
compensation for the part they took and
the contributions made and are now
ma king a fight for control both of the
executive and legislative branches of the
state government
This is contrary to the position l took
and the promises we made to the people.
with the changed conditions | am of
the opinion that in the short time between
now and the primary, I could not be
successful in making my position clear to
the people of the state, and having come
TO this conclusion, it is due my friends

SESSION OF CITY
COUNCIL WILL BE HELD
THIS EVENING.

The Hancock city council viii meet
this evening in a session called for
the purpose of considering the iinan-
cial condition of the city and to pass
on the annual appropriation bill The
council met "Wednesday and tackled
this problem but nnally decided to
give il up until after the board of re-
view had finished it's sessions.
The trouble at present is that the
equalization committee of the county
Lcard reduced the taxes on Hancocl
corporation property by about one
million dollars and this made big
hole in the city's tax receipts. As the
rate of taxation is as high now as 1t
can go. the city has lost large part
of its receipts 10y this reduction in the
valuations
The supervisors will this evening
tell the council just how high the
city valuations are and how much
money can legally he raised on this
valuation. The problem that confrouts
the council is to arrange the appro-
pration bill so that it viii be within
the sum that can be raised and will
