Tunstall has .intimated" that it may affect the bond issue amendment.
 During the closing days of the reg ular session of 1919 the bill was called up for passage in the house. It had already passed the senate with only a few votes in opposition. It came be- fore the house shortly before the re- cess of the afternoon session. The house was ready to pass it when MT. Tunstall suggested that it's adoption in it's form at that time might affect the states right to engage in highway inn provement work and that it might be
 better to consider the point before passing the bill. D. B. Cobbs of Mo- bile, who had the measure in charge, readily agreed and requested that fur ther consideration be postponed 'ntii the night session.
 When the night session came Mir. Cobbs offered substitute which res enacted the section. including the high way amendment, with the addition of the amendment permitting h tatseA the amendment permitting the state to lend it's credit for the development of the port of Mobile. This substitute was adopted and the bill passed with only three dissenting votes. Mir. run stall is not recorded as having voted either for or against the bill.
 The fact regarding the passage of the bill in the house, the suggestion of MT. Tunstall and the adoption Of the substitute are vouehed for by Judge Henry P Merritt, who was speaker of the house. and Fred H. Gormley, uho was clerk of the house at the time the bill was passed

vestigation and an opinion from a well-known attorney and former nem- Der of the Alabama supreme court
 WILL HAVE NO EFFECT

WILL HAVE NO EFFECI 4-The adoption of the port amend> ment will not have the effect of re. |pealing the bond issue amendment in my opinion" said Governor Kilby. The port amendment merely amends Section |Ninety-three of the constitution by adds ing another proviso which gives the state authority to lend it's credit to the
 improvement of the port of Mobile, which must always in the future be under
 the control of the state harbor com> mission or such other agency as may be designated by the legislature. Tns amendment giving the state the right to appropriate funds for the sconstruc> tion of public roads which was adopted previously is restated in the port amendment. The bond issue voted | g, February is a separate section of -hs constitution and is so designated in the amendment and in the act .ub. hitting it. It is designated as Article Twenty of the constitution, this article being placed at the end of the last article of the constitution as adopted Section Ninety three inA which it is pro. posed to place the port amendment, Is included in Article Four of the consti- tution There is no doubt in my mind that the people may safely vote TO, the port amendment, knowing abso- lutely that it will have no effect what ever on the amendment giving't the state the right to issue bonds for public roads,"
 The report causd some surprise in Montgomery. No one thought any pcr> son would express any opposition to the port amendment. At the present time a short record of the incidents leading to the passage of the lort amendment bill in the house of repre-, sentatives will be interesting since MT.

 22i-2 Firyt National Bank RuilnIna

Montgomery, October 23.-(Special.) ) Friends of the constitutional amend ment giving the state the right to take over the port of Mobile and to make it a state institution Instead of a local one for Mobile have started a vigorous campaign to counteract the effect of reports in circumscribed CTS cles recently that the adoption of the amendment might have the ef- feet of repeating the amendment Iro- viding for the highway bond issue which was adopted February 16.
 This report was started during this week by the publication In Mont gomery newspaper of a statement fl om Senator R. B. Evins of Hale county, who opposed the amendment when it was before the legislature and who was one of the few legislators to cast votes against it. Senator Evins in- timated that the adoption of the amendme ent might invalidate the bond issue am endment
 MT. Evins article was preceded by a personal letter to certain persons from y, Q member of the house, who said the amendment might repeal the bond is- sue amendment, though he declined to express an opinion personally as to whether or not the adoption would in fact have this effect.
 Friends of the port amefdment ars frank enough to say they fear this is subtle movement on the part of cer> tain interests which have always op. posed the public control of the port to defeat the amendment which will have the effect of making the port of Mobile a state institution and cause that development of the port which has made the port of New Orleans or of the most important in the United States
 Governor Kilby does not believe there is anything to fear from the adoption of the port amendment In an oral statement today he said hs is convinced that the adoption of the amendment will have no effect on the bond issue but that in order to be on the safe side he had called for an In.

For Good of the
 Community

II policeman when he grows up. That IS be- cause the policeman is to him the symbol of authority. He is greatness persOnlfed.
 Every living man and woman wishes to be great. Each can be great within sphere. All are governed by some kind of limitation, but all can be great within that border.
 The late Rev Luman S. Handley was a great man, because he was good. He was great be- cause he was success at goodness He was not good today and not good the next. He was good all the time. Men who knew him were better for the contact.
 The late Father OReilly was greatman. He was out of the rough, but he was genuine. He had the tact of woman. His big heart denied none an entrance. The business of his life was loving his fellow. He made such success of it that when he died the community suspended business to do him honor.
 Agreat man still lives among us. Rev. J. A. Bryan is great in his power to sympathize. He is great in the ability to go straight as bee flies to flower when the trouble of his fellow man calls. Be the sufferer rich, be he poor, there is no diff ference. He has carried solace to handsome homes as well as to novels; into placid places as well as jails. The human heart is his goal. The exterior that hides the heart does not concern him when the heart bleeds.
 Dewey was great on battleship, but not great on land Grant was great in war, but not great in peace. Happy is the man who is not drawn out of his sphere of greatness for that in which he cannot be great. Greatness is not achieved against the grain, but by following it's grooves.
 The one certain thing is that man cannot be great in following paths for which he is not adapted. The ultimate of personal achievement is the fruition of the kernel that nature planted The blacksmith that should have been lawyer and the lawyer that should have been farmer cannot become great
 Greatness rests in an attunement of natural qualities. The man who seeks to become great by the use of tools unsuted to his hands but mars that which he touches The man who borroWs his conception of greatness solely from grandeur of performance has missed the essence of great ness.
 Real greatness is getting out of ones self the best there.is there. That is where Dr. Handley and Father O'Reilly were great and where Rev. Bryan is great.
 Men are not equipped to be great where they llsteth All can be great somehow A man is great when his own self tells him that he is. The day he has been tempted to do mean thing and has not done it, that night conscience stands before his pillow smiling and places the laurel of greatness on his brow. The day he has stood out against. his associates for fair play to the other fellow brings to him sense of greatness that victory on battlefield could not

VZOUR own particular shaving
Y difficulty-doesnt it really revert
to a dulling razor blade?
That annoying pull when the razor
fails to cut cleanly-the painful scraping
that often results when you bear down
too hard-the bother and expense of
putting in new blade every so often
all these troubles can be traced directly
to a razor blade that has lost its first
keen edge.
No shaving edge can keep its original
kcenness for more than few shavcs-
DOT without stropping.

Shopping the real secret Of
shaving comfort!
Look at razor edge under a microscope and
you will see hundreds of tiny saw teeth. More
than 1900 of these teeth have been counted on
an ordinary safety razor blade. Shaving bends
these saw teeth out of line makes them
irregular. These irregular teeth catch in the
beard, pull the tiny hair folliclcs and scrape
the skin. That's what usually makes shaving
SO unpleasant, so annoying.
You don't need to put up with the discomfort
of fast dulling blades-nor with the bother and
expense Of putting in a blade every SO often.
You can insure a fresh, keen edge for every
shave if you use the AutoStrop Razor.
