SOME MINES ARE
 STILL FLOODED
Heavy Damage from the Spring
 Inundations.
LOSS TO THE OPERATORS
Tennessee Company Among the Heav- fest Sufferers Will be Several Months Before Every thing is
 Working on Full Time

The extent of the damage to the coal op- orators of the district from the recent rains can best be estimated when it is known that several of the largest mines still in- capacitated by reason of the spring inunda- tion when many of the openings were flooded.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railway company was among the heaviest sufferers, as several of its mines at Pratt City are still closed down, and it will be several months before everything will be working on full time. The water in Slope No. is lowering at the rate of from three to seven inches a day, but Slope No. 6 will not be in working order for at least sixty days. Slopes No. 3, and are however, working on full time with a good output
 Other companies have suffered from the rains, and altogether the loss has been very heavy in the face of a strong demand for coal.

 Professor Stott has organized fifteen chapters with a total membership of sev- eral hundred, and has met with great en- couragement, not only from the district leaguers, but from prominent workers throughout the country.
 Those from the different leagues that have read the four books of the league reading course for this year will receive their certificates at the graduating exer- cses.
 Professor Stott, who is also chairman of the committee on Bible study of the Bir- mingham district league, has cen assisted by pr. J. w. Newman, presiding elder Rev. J. R. Turner, president; Rev J.
