Dr. Broughton here told touching story of Dr. w. W. Landman, pastor of the First Baptist church in Atlanta: how in his boyhood he had been very wayward and unchristian-ike; how his mother had become burdened with the thought that her son was lost, and how, through her constant prayers. he was converted.
 "Let us go home,' he concluded, land pray God to give us some burden on our souls, which is the true evangelistic spirit of Christianity"
 pr. Broughton is a powerful speaker, and at times moved many of the congregation to tears when narrating some pathetic in- cident.
 Services will be held daily at 10 o'clock in the morning, lasting one hour. Dr. Broughton urges that the men especially make sacrifice and come. Nightly ser vices will be held at 7:30. It Is also urged that everybody be on hand promptly.

William F. Cody, Buffalo Bill," soldier statesman, sheriff. ranchman, snowman and actor, has been pronounced out of danger, and will in a few days shake off the shackles of the dread fever which has bound him and join his "Wild West again. Colonel Cody is famous scout and one of the most picturesque figures in American history. The story of his life is stranger than fiction, and his first advent ure was at the age of 12 years, when he killed his first Indian.
 "Buffalo Bill' is tall, perfectly propor- tioned man, the embodiment of all that is dashing, daring and heroic. To these qua'- ities is added an extraordinary amount of good looks. He wears his hair in the long. flowing style usually adopted by heroes of the western plains, has keen eyes. and sits his horse if born in the saddle.
 But Colonel Cody has not always been engaged in buffalo killing and Indian fight

Railway Case Must Now be Heard by
 Supreme Court.

The Birmingham Railway and Electric company is again on top in the fight with the Birmingham Traction company over the Woodland crossing.
 Special commissioners were appointed to assess the damages incident to the cross ing of the Railway company's tracks. The Railway company appealed the matter to the supreme court and held that the dam- ages could not be assessed until this ap- peal was heard. The assessment was be- gun when the company secured an order summoning the Traction company to show why the order of prohibition should not be issued.
 Judge Wilkerson has decided that the appeal must be heard before the damages can be assessed. .l

A VERY FORCEFUL SPEAKEF

Dr. L. A. Broughton, pastor of the Third Baptist church of Atlanta, opened series of revival services at the First Baptist church last night, which are to continue Tor two weeks. pr. Broughton is one Of the most eloquent and forceful divines or the Baptist church, and he has a splendid rec ord as an evangelical worker. As he ex- pressed it, his was not a sermon last night, but just plain talk, preparatory to the work he is to do for the next two weeks
 The singing last night and during the re- mainder of the revival will be conducted by H. A. Wolfsohn of Atlanta. There was a large choir on the rostrum, and all sing CTS are invited to join it. The singing will be one of the features of the revival.
 pr. Broughton began by urging that the congregation come forward and fill the empty benches in front. As he expressed 1t. he was afraid of anybody that was afraid of him.

Prepare the Way

He took his text from the third verse of the third chapter of Matthew: Prepare ye the way of the Lord and make His path straight
 He dwelt on the pure character of John the Baptist, the man who had thus intro- duced Christ. There is everything in a good introduction, and the reason, he said, that Christianity had not already spread over the whole earth Is for want of good men and women to introduce it. Even in temporal affairs, man should get the best person he could to introduce him. '
 pr. Broughton said that he and MT. Wolfsohn did not take revivals around with them in a tin bucket to be dished out at will, but true revival came only through God. He urged that the Lords path to- ward this end be made smooth and every thing crooked be taken out of the church.
 He said that some people underestimated the importance of specifying the number of converts made in revival, but he consid- cred it of great importance. The Bible nearly always gives a definite number in- stead of saying "a great number of con yerts."

Another Account of the Scrap
at the Anderson Meeting.

Anderson, S. c., August 49,
The attendance on the state cam
paign meeting, ives according to
the statement of the candidates,
the largest that has greeted them
in the State. The candidates for
governor and attorney general ap-
peared and had their say and
nothing out of the usual routine
occurred. Each candidate was
given respectful hearing and
some applause.
George D. Tillman and Mr..
Featherstone were the recipients
of flowers.
The sensational event of the oc-
casion was fist fight between W.
D. Mayfeld and J. J. McMahan,
candidates for superintendent Of
education, toward the close. 1t
was entirely unexpected. Many
of the people had left and nobody
wos expecting trouble. McMahan
was speaking. He said that May
field had circulated a printed
speech not delivered in his pres
ence rejecting upon him and he
proceeded to Gsnounce Mayfeld
severely.
Mayield, who is over six feet
high and heavily built, rose and
called out "stop!"
McMahan refused to pause and
Mayfeld interrupted him and
turned to the crowd, shouting:
"Fellow citizens, I have had to
slap this mans face before.
McMahan instantly faced his
big antagonist and quickly, sharp
ly and with thrill distinctness,
"You are liar"
Mayield struck at him heavily
and awkwardly. McMahan was
ready and was too quick for him,
catching the blow on his right
arm. With the same motion Nc
Mahan drove his left fist true and
hard into Mayfeld's eye, stagger-
ing him. Before May6eld could
recover or McMahan could follow
up his advantage Chief of Police
Dillingham; had jumped on the
stand and thrust himself between
them.
"Let him come on; can whip
him." McMahan shouted as a
mass of men surged and struggled
between them. Chairman Prince
being conspicuous among them.
Mr.. Mayfeld seemed to favor an
immediate settlement also.
McMahan was cool and finished
mis- speech after the fight.
Mayfeld's eye is badly bruised

dull, and stupid to degree. The
speeches, with few exceptions, were
etale, fiat, and insipid, and the
biggest fool in the whole lot made
the most fun. The crowd was
larger than expected. and exer-
cised a commendable degree of pa

who reads these lines is privileged
