was supported by every member of the
Alabama delegation, the great majority
Of which are anti-prolIibitionists. with the
exception of Congressman Dent of The
Second and Congressman Blackmon OF.
fhe Fourth district
Mr.. Dent and Mr.. Bhclmon voted
against the bill. according 10 statements
from them, because Of their belief that
the bill was unconstitutional, in which
position they were sustained by Senator
hiihu II. Root who is considered one OF
the ablest constitutional lawyers in the
United States. The other members sup
norted the bill despite this possibility, on
the ground that territory which votes
by majority vote of its people dry
should be "ary,r indeed.
Charles Lewis who is said to represent
the national organization Of wholesale
liquor dealers. was on the scene in Wash-
ington for some time prior to the sub
mission Of the bill by the Judiciary COM
mittce. Of which Mr.. Clayton is chair
man. 1t is charged by prohibitionists that
certain politicians OF Alabama with
whom Mr. Clayton is acquainted. visited
Washington during the time the bill was
being considered by the judiciary commit
tee, and endeavored to prevent the re-
Porting of the bill. The prohibitionists,
as matter of fact, discussed that mat
ter yesterday, and predicted that It would
be made an issue in subsequent cam
palgns. Whether or not this is true, Mr..
Clayton, who is local optionismt. took
the position that the majority vote OF
the people should rule In every state,
reported the bill, and supported il by his
vote.
Mr.. Clayton, when there was delay in
the reporting Of the bill by the commit
tee, was overwhelmed with kilograms
from Alabama pfohibitionsts. They
maintained u steady fire for several
days, and did not cease firing, as a
matter OF fact, until the bill was re-
pnrted.
1t is understood. although considerable
care is taken lest the secret leak ou.

"A CHANGE OF TEXT.

Possibly the three greatest desires of

requires considerable study consequent
ly the number of professors is much
less than OF SKY pilots" as there are
only few federal offices open TO the
negro they are always filled, and as
few die and none resign the chance
of holding office to tho average negro
is somewhat slim.
1t goes without saying that not all
those who claim the title of REV"
have q regular charge or are actively
engaged In church work, so conse-
quently they follow other occupations
and preach as a side Issue. While
many Of these itincfant preachers are
worthy. there are also those who are
not, and 1t is with the latter class this
article has to deal with.
Among the many negro preachers
that hang around the courthouse, or
rather did before some OF them were
indicted for vagrancy Is a frosted
headed negro known as "Ieev." Eben-
izar Hicks. Not having a charge for
several years Eben fell from grace and
became an expert crap shooter. From
the Regularity with which he won, his
methods were viewed with euspicion
by his many victims" and the charge
was made that he was not avcrse to
using loaded dice or any other methods
to get the coin. Anyhow IEben decided
that a change Of climate would be
OF much benefit TO his health, so he
visited his old home in Mississippi. OF
