 He is With pr. McFerin.

Bishop F. R. Hendrix of the Methodist Episcopal church. South held services last night at the First Methodist church. He preached an able sermon on the text And he was called the friend of God" James ii, 23.
 He spoke of friendship and how all friendship was based on love. He pointed out some of the conditions of friendship, such as faith, purity, and obedience to God. The fruits of such friendship were the revelations of God, the answer to our pray CTS, and the having of power and influence with men. A man who was a friend of God would be a friend of man.
 The sermon was heard by a large congre- gation.
 The bishop is stopping with Rev. Dr. J. P. McFerrin, pastor of the First Meth odist church. He will visit today some of the industries in the Birmingham district.

ENGINE KILLED
 ENGINEER SHAW Fatal Wreck on the K. O. M. & B. RaiIroad-Fireman Tur-

Extra freight train F, pulled by engine No. 101, on the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham road was wrecked near Horse Creek twenty-six miles west of Brming ham, yesterday morning, and Engineer Shaw instantly killed. Fireman Lee Turner, coored, was slightly injured.

DARING BURGLARS
 BREAK INTO STORE
Brewer & Co., Lose Guns, RG- zors, Knives and Loaded
 SheIIs-No Clue

For the second time within a month bur- glars have visited Woodlawn and last night the store of E. Brewer and Company was robbed of twelve shotguns, fourteen razors, $50 worth of loaded shotgun shells and several hundred pocket knives. The total loss was about $500.
 There were evidently several persons en- gagged in the burglary, and it Is believed that a wagon was used to take away the booty. It is the opinion of the clerk of the store that the thieves hid in the store and allowed themselves to be locked up. This is indicated by the fact that the rear door was found unlocked and no part of the house showed that force had been used to break it open.
 The theft was first discovered when the clerk opened the front door early yesterday morning. He found the back door open and immediately saw that the goods were miss ing. The burglars left no clew as to their identity or the direction in which they had gone. In case of capture the stolen goods could easily be identified.
 The Woodlawn police and the sheriff are investigating the burglary.
