The speaking held at the court
house last night in interest of the
proposed constitution was attended
by a splendid crowd of both rural and
town people, at which time Hons 7,
C. McRae and w. V. Tompkins and
Judge G.. r. Haynie made talks on the
constitution Although there were a
number of citizens present who were
opposed to the adoption of the consti-
tuition, many if not all being fair
minded and unprecedented, left the
meeting expressing themselves as be-
ing heartily in favor of the instru-
ment. 1t seemed that all that was
needed was a fair and open eXplana-
/ ton by men who know the many pro-
visions, and friends for the adoption
were easily made.

as IT has in the past, the game, new

The clear sighted reviewer can
readily see why friend Dunn ALSO

in baseball and that II his IA Glory is

Baltimore. like Richmond, will not
be without baseball, though. Dunr
