Dr. Rbitsitt Eor Katar.

There is little doubt now that the
attempt to force the resignation OF
Dr.. Whitsitt, president Of the South.
ern Baptist Theological Seminary OF
Louisville, Ky, apc the boycotting OF
that institution will result in : divis-
ion of the Southern church into two
organizations. Toe Developments in
the controversy, which has ragged for
some time, and during the last three
weeks has assumed a more sinister
aspect, render such result almost IN
evitable. The Baptist associations have
been holding their sessions in differ
ent parts of Kentucky and the s'rong
est resolutions condemning Dr.. WHIT
sit, demanding his resignation, and
withdra wing all support from the in
stitutlon unless ne leaves it, have been
passed in all of them. 10 nearly every
case such resolutions have been adopt
ed almost unanimously, but 10 the
Long Rln Association, which has just
concluded its sessions, which were at
tended by several thousand persons
each day, the Whitsi!t minority was
stronger, and the proceedings were
characteriz ID by a degree of tuIbu-
lance and rancor unexampled in the
history of the church. Delegates stood
on benches and roared themselves
hoarse, using language which might
have been expected only in red not
political convention. The resolutions
were passed, however, by q decided
majority. In a speech made the next
day, the Rev. Francis w. Taylor
characterized the m9thods of taei:
adoption as ''disgracsfup' aud said he
had ''sat with bowed head, ashamed
that his brethren and professed fol-
lowers of Christ should lend them

Right for Once.

It's pleasure, says the National
Bimetallist, to be able to note that for
once, just to break the monotony, the
gold men are partially right. After
shouting for years that low prices,
cheap things, were ''Godsend,' IAN
unmistakaole evidence of advancing
civilization" etc, they at last recog-
n;ze the correctness Of the silver mems
position that falling pr:c:s are an evil
ard rising markets essential for pres
perity. They are gleefully proclaim
ing that the American farmer will
realize so and SO many millions by the
rise OF wheat. and that with the d
vance prosperity has da Ined." Dir-
ing twenty-four years of generally
falling prices they constantly insisted
hat despite that fact the farmer WAS
better off than he had ever been be-
fore. NoF he has reached still high.
er grade OF prosperity because his
wheat hss gone up and other thiags
are going. Toe funny part of l.
IS thaG tEey actually seem 10
to think that they and the gold stand
ard are entitled to all the credit for it.
O: course, they don't say that they

might make, but they don't. Still, if

We have all yet to try the full power Of
prayer. The time will come when the
American church will pray with It's face to-
ward the west and all the prairieS and inland
cities will surrender to God, and VIII pray
with face toward the sea, and all the islands
and ships will beeome Christian. Parents
who have Waywa-d sons will get down or
their knees and say, Lord, send my boy
home" and the boy in Canton shall get right
up from the gaming table and SC down 10

Not one Of US yet knows how to pray. AL
we have done as yet has cnly been pottersug.
A boy gets hold Of his father saw and ham
mer and tries to make something, but It Is a
poor affair that he makes. The father comes
and takes the same saw and hammer and
builds the house or the ship. In the child
hood ofour Christian faith We make but poor
work with these weapons Of prayer, but
when We come to the stature OF men n
Christ Jesus, then, under these implements,
the temple Of God will rise and the worlds
redemption will be launched. God cares not
for the length Of our prayers, or the number
of our prayers, or the beauty Of our prayers,
or the place Of our prayers, out It's the faith
in them that tells. Believing prayer scars
higher than the lark ever sang, piunges
deeper than diving bell ever sank, darts
quicker than lightning ever flashed. Though
we have used only the back Of this weapon
instead Of the edge, what maryels h.ve been
wrought! If saved, we are all the captives
of some earnest prayer. Would God that in
desire for the rescue Of souls we might in
prayer lay hold of the resources Of the Lord

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Warrior, Oct. S.-Mrs. James Calvert, living about five miles from Warrior, in Blount county, was seriously wounded by the accidental discharge of double barreled shot gun. The gun was lying on a table in the room when a small boy cooked and fired it. The load went through a plank wall and struck the lady, who was sitting on the porch. She would have been killed if the wall had not impeded the shot.
 T The weather is hot and very dry. An old citizen said today that the creek on which he lives is dry. something which had not occurred before in his recollection.
 Cotton is coming in quite lively, mak- ing business good Business is very good at the mines also, which adds largely to trade.
 Prosperity seems also to have struck us in the matrimonial line, as about ten couples of Warrior have been and will be married in October.

Special to The AgelHerald
 Montgomery, Oct. 9.-The railroad com mission was in session Friday, having just completed a tour of Inspection of the Central Railroad of Georgia
 Many improvements have been made in the physical condition of the Central's lines in Alabanna' since the reorgani2a- tion of this company two years ago Light iron rails have been replaced by heavy steel, besides bridges have been repaired, and in addition several treztles have been filled. The board has under advlsement the question of depot inn provements at two points on the Gen. tral, and will also order improved pas senger accommoda tfons on the E.. & O. division.
 A reduction i'm rates on cotton from Mathews station Ito Montgomery has been made upon recommendation of the board.
 The superintendent of the Birmingham and Atlandc railroad has been notified that t1le Cooea river bridge will be ex- amfned by the board, assisted by am ex- pert engineer. on Oct 16
 The commission is in receipt of a communication from Capt. J. M. Falk- ner, written at the instance of President Smkh of -the Louisville and Nashville railroad, i'm which he expresses the hope and belief that the railroads enter ing Sheffield would reach an agreement by which a union depot would be built He requested the commission to withhold their order requiring each of khe roads to build separate depots. in order to as certan if satisfactory agreement could not be reached The board is very de- sfrous of a union depot att Sheffield. Therefore they agreed to Capt. Falkner's request.
 An order was issued requiring the Tuskegee railroad to issue through bills of lading on cotton, effective thirty days from date.
 Rates on coal from mines on the Eais' and West to Columbus, Ga, were placed at $1.35 per ton upon agreement with the representatives of the Louisville and Nashville and l,he Central railroads.

But the railroad, in giving out fihe contract, objected to the cars being built here and preferred them being built at Annis,on. The reasons for this were obvious, as 'the road get longer hauls on iron and coal to Ainfstoln than to this point as all the iron (scrap) was hauled from Louisville, and tine road was paid freight for doing the hauling, and also mileage on each car after completion ito the point of delivery.

PAY DAY AT BESSEMER.
Howard-Harrson Pipe Works Have Restored
 Old Scale of Wages.

Special to The Age-Herald.
 Bessemer, Oct. 9.-Today Is Howard Harrison pay day. Beginning with the new month this company has voluntari- ly raised the wages of all it's employees to where they were before the cut which was made about six months ago. The immense plant is now running full handed and the prospects were never better.
 The last of the Idle furnaces in this vicinity is about ready to blow-in, and when 1t does there need not be an idle workman in BesSemer. The rolling mill now remains about the only idle industry in this section and should the vague hopes for it's speedy resumption be realized. even the palmy days of the early nineties would be no comparison.
 A canvass among the business men shows the concensus of opinion to be that the council will make a mistake and one that will rebound to the detri- ment of the city should it insist on Puri- tanic sunday observance legislation as was suggested at the Thursday night meeting. The suggestion was to close up everything with the exception of the prescription departments of the drug stores.
