As we construe the record this it has decided and nothing more. The effect any determination by the munich pal authorities may have, and, by the same token, the right of the parties to the proposed consolidation to proceed as in a case in which the municipal au- thorities have no interest of recognize |ance, are questions that remain to be determined in the customary way of de- termining judicial controversies."-T so. pages 55-56

ANOTHER FIGHT CERTAIN

Nevertheless, there is reason to believe that the Anti-Saloon league will again require the political services of its su- perintendent, and that each candidate for governor will be compelled to take a stand.
 There is going to be fight in Ala bama for and against the adoption by the legislature of the proposed prohibi- ton amendment to the federal constitu- tion In the course of that fight the lines it is certain, will be drawn.
 Alabama which by the people re- pudiated proposed amendment to its own constitution would, if the people could again directly speak, repudiate the federal amendment, 1t Is believed. In answering the question through the elec- tion of legislature, however, the out come Is involved in more serious doubt
 But the fight next spring and summer will be raging. That statement, poli- ticians declare, is obviously true.

Federal Amendment Sure to Be an Issue, However, in
 Next State Campaign
ESTES SAYS LEAGUE
 INDORSED NO ONE
Each Candidate Is Expected to Take Stand on Liquor Question, Though It Be Not
 Open Issue
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

IT his acton Tn authorlZlng the olS- semination by the Western Newspaper Union of Lieut.. Gov. Thomas p. Kilby' s campaign literature constituted an in- dorsement of the gubernatorial can didacy of MT. Kilby, then the Rev. Brooks Lawrence, superintendent of the ance with the league of which he is su- perintendent.
 George H. Estes, member of the head quarters committee of the Anti-Saloon league, when asked the direct question yesterday afternoon, replica.
 s.The league has indorsed no candi- date for governor.
 Other than that statement MT. Estes declined to commit himself Regarding the personal position of Dr. Lawrence, he professed to be ignorant.
 THE LEAGUES HOPE
 From other prohibition sources it was learned yesterday that irrespective of the action of the superintendent, the Anti Saloon league hopes that it might be able to refrain from extending it's bless ings in the direction of any candidate for governor. The league insists that there Is no liquor question in Alabama. Be- cause of that insistence, the league would hesitate, it is said, to intrude it. self in a situation where its very pres ence would arouse opposition of viru- lent character.
 Despite the opinion of the league, how ever, the indications are that the prohi- bitionists, through their determination to elect legislature similar to that which now exists, will necessarily make the whisky issue the sine qui non of the campaign. The prohibitionists, it Is un- derstood are determined to indorse by another hand picked" legislature, the amendment to the federal constitution which, in all probability, will be prepared for submission to the states shortly aft CT December 1.
 CANDIDATES WOULD DODGE
 It is regarded as singular because of the foregoing that with the exception of John H. Wallace, Jr, no candidate or prospective candidate for governor, has discussed prohibition and it's tributary is- sues as a factor of importance in the pending struggle. MT. Wallace Is a To- cal optionist and heartily opposed to the methods employed by prohibitionist lob byists in making territory, without a vote of it's. people. dry Lieutenant Governor Kilby is a prohbitionist of the conservative variety. Prospective candidates, Charles McDowell of Flu faula and W. w. Brandon of Tusca- loosa. are regarded as local optionists welded to the idea that certain rural communities should vote themselves dry
 But none of them, at the present time. intends running for office as prohibit tionists or nti-prohibitionists. The ma jority, it is indicated. would, like the Anti-Saloon league, dodge the issue If that course were possible.

Great Engineering Feat
by London Builders.

London, October 30.-The opening
this week of large new aerodrome
at Hanworth Park, near London,
marks the completion of an engineer
ing work which involved the deflec-
tion underground for distance of
nearly a mile, of the Wolsey River
The stream intersected the field Sc
lected for the main landing ground of
the aerodrome and impeded the land
ing Of aircraft there. To remove this
defect, the engineers constructed a
conduit, capable of carrying 27,OOO,O0O
gallons of water daily, into which the
stream has now been diverted, and its
bed levelled to give an unbroken flat
surface for the aerodrome. The size
Of the monduit was such that before
the river was diverted fifty soldiers
marched upright through the under
ground way. z

dose or Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chills, or troubles of this kind. we
would take Black-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without 1t,
for 1t certainly has saved us lots of
doctor bills. Just a dose of Black
Draught when not SO we'll saves q
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
In use Tor many years In the treat
ment or stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which 1t
now enjoys Is proof of its merit.
III your liver is not doing its duty,
you Will suffer from such disagree
