FORT AND DAVIS
 TO HANDLE FIGHT
Encouraging Reports Still Received On Abolition Of
 Lease System

Judge William E. Fort of Birming- ham and w. c. Davis of Jasper will have charge of the fight for the abolition of the convict lease system during the session of the legislature converting at Montgomery Tuesday, This was decided at a special meeting of the legislative aspects of the work at the IIillman hotel Saturday night.
 Endorsements of the cause, prom ises of support from legislators, and petitions signed by various religious and, civic organizations of the state continue to come to the committee in large numbers. Sentiment over the state seems to be growing more and more in favor of the abolish ment of the convict lease system, states Mrs. Brenton Fisk, corre- spending secretary of the campaign committee.
 Sentiment is rapidly crystallizing in favor of the movement inaugu- rated by the state wide campaign committee" writes l.. B. Musgrove of Jasper, chairman of the Tenth dis trict. E. D. Banks, chairman of the Anniston district, announces that the sentiment of that district appears strongly against the contract system, and that all the clubs have gone on record as indorsing the work. Petit tions signed by approximately 1000 names reached Mrs. Fisk Saturday.
 Julius c. Cato, representative from Barbour county, declares he will sup port any bill introduced in the House of Representatives which has for it's purpose the abolishment Of the sys- tenn of enforced slavery which now exists, and for the more humane treatment of the states unfortunate criminals. Henry Howze of Birming- ham, who voted for the extension of the lease system until 1927 as a tenn porary measure, stated he was in favor Of the abolition of the system and would support a measure placing January, 1926, as the end of the prac- tice.
 Only a tentative bill has been drawn up, the detailed measure to be prepared in conferences of pro- ponents al Montgomery. The com

MEXICO CITY, July 7.-(By As sociated Press. )-Excursion rates, consisting of round-trip ticket for one-way fare, have been estab- lished tby the National Lines for those who wish to visit the northern states of Mexico on September 10, to observe the total eclipse of the sun. It is hoped that similar rates will be granted by the railways of the United States.
 In preparation for the thousands of scientists and others who are eX- pected to visit Mexico to view the eclipse, the government is planning the establishment of numerous en- campments at advantageous points in San Luis Potosi, Lower California and Sonora. While the phenomenon will be visible in all parts of the republic. these states are believed to offer more advantages for accr ate observation.

AS FOR NAPOLEON, PAH!
A Writer Comments On 4 Current
 Enconfum Of Charles ChapIfu

Let me quote a few sentences from a reconstruction picture magazine about Charlie Chaplin:
 He has made himself king, and, while to be born Guelph or Ghibel- line, Hapsburg or. Hohenzollern might be thrilling or a bore. there can be no doubt as to the romance of making himself king! In all history MT Chaplin's only rival for that dis ttnction Is Napoleon, and Napoleon, after all, died leaving plenty of worlds to conquer. Charlie Chaplin has completely conquered the world. He Is monarch of all who survey him. There is nothing left for him to van quish. king with no worlds to con- quer, 1t Is now clear to him, is indeed an unhappy mortal Like the rest of the extant kings, he now knows that he shall never be able to know who is his friend. Were he not possessed, as he is, of sensitive, high strung nature. still would he never again be able to distinguish the true friend from the fawning sycophant ."
 Ana much, much more.
 Tn all history ." Our easy superlatives This was not an inter- view. and MT. Chaplin Is not to blame for it. It is only a part of our eulo- gistic habit. The writer probably knew as we'll as you or I that there are more people in the United States who would not cross the street to see Charlie Chaplin in the flesh than there are people who would. It does not matter; facts do not.
 Mir. Chaplin, I fancy, comes nearer than most residents of Hollywood to being universally beloved" but the same kind of praise is meted out to many, many others.
 No woman since Helen of Troy is So beautiful, no woman since St. Catherine of Sient is so good as prac- tically all the movie actresses are in the magazines. No marriages are so happy, or so cooed over-until di- vorce proceedings have been started. Mothers are honored in Hollywood as nowhere else In America: children are nowhere so adored by their par ents. The origins of these people are always romantic; If they are not. like Charlie Chaplin. children of the slum elevated by sheer genius, they are descended from one of the oldest families in the south. They all work hard and go to bed at 9 o'clock. and. when they are at home. live vituously in Cecil de Mile interiors.
