BURR PREFERS ID SCRAP II OUT" AND
 LET PEOPLE VOTE
Expresses Hope That Gov. Henderson Will Not Grant Request Made by
 Musgr0ve

Much comment was heard yesterday regarding the letter written to Gov ernor Henderson by L. B. Musgrove, wherein the Walker county capitalist proposed to defray the expense of an extra session of the legislature if the governor would call such session for the purpose of passing upon the fed eral prohibition amendment.
 There seemed to be no doubt but what the governor will refuse to grant the request. In speaking of the re- quest of Mir. Musgrove, Borden Burr, local prohibition leader and we'll known attorney, said:
 T hope that Governor Henderson will not grant the request. Personally. I am in favor of the fight being waged to the finish and letting the people scrap it out, by electing a legislature that will go to Montgomery with in- structions from the people on this sub Ject
 T am sure that the amendment will win, and I have no fears of meeting the friends of the other side in open combat and fighting 1t out in the open. Then, when the members of the legis- .s1ature are elected on this ground. they twill represent the will of the people, sand the matter will be settled in a democratic manner"

swallowed one OF our bass. This

he could not get back out through
