A. 0. s. WINS TWO.
Birmingham Amateurs Defeat Both
 Pratt City and Bessemer.

The A. G. s. team defeated Bessemer and Pratt City yesterday in a double header at West End Park, and the vic tors proved themselves the best amateur baseball aggregation in the district.
 Bessemer was the first to suffer defeat in a shut-out game, in which some good ball playing was done by both teams the score being to 0. The features of the game were Sawyer's pitching, three fast double plays, and Donavan's throw home of a line hit to right field, loosing Bessemer's only chance to score.
 The A. G. S.-Pratt City game began at 4:10 o'clock, and only seven innings were played, the game being called on account of darkness. The game was rather slow as a number of kicks were registered and Pratt City seemed to think they were getting the worst of the umpire's de- cisions. The A. G. s. led off with one run in the first and made another in the sec ond. Pratt City scored two in the third on errors. No more runs were made until the fifth inning, when the A. G.S. chalked up three. Pratt City making two. Four more were made in the sixth by the A. G. s. Pratt City being unable to tally. Umpire Burk called the game at the end of the seventh inning.

A WEEK IN IGNORANCE
 OF ASSASSINATION
Part of Jefferson Where Citizens Did Not Know Of President Being
 Murdered.

Jefferson county may not have within its bounds moss-back Democrats who are still voting for Andrew Jackson, but there are rural sections in the county where the people are in ignorance of the news of the world for days and days to- gether.
 County Superintendent of Education I. W. McAdory, who returned from tour of Jefferson county yesterday, addressed a school. not twenty-five miles from Bir- mingham in which not one of the child ren had heard of the shooting of Presi- dent Mckinley a week after 1t occurred.
 In his talk he alluded to the terrible deed of the assassin, and when he had finished every one present, teachers and pupils. gathered around him and asked for the particulars. It was the first inti- nation they had had of the tragedy MT. McAdory said the poor mail service in the outlying sections readily accounted for such ignorance. or rather for the slow way in which these people received information about events happening out side of their neighborhood. The rural delivery system, soon to be In operation, would, he said change all this; would be a great thing for the county.

Rev. Max Hoffman, Evangelist, writes from the Davidson Hotel, Milwaukee, Wis.,, as follows:
 'T an7 pleased 10 indorse Peruna as a ionic, and nervine Of excellent value 10 public workers who are under constant nerve strain and In need of such. speak from personal experi- ence, having used II about fwo weeks ago, and off and on since with fEie most happy results. ".--Rev. Max Hoffman.
 Even the busy evangelist manages to snatch time enough from his never ending, indefatigable labors to praise Peruna in public print.
 A sound body is necessary for vigor- ous spiritual work. Even the soul thrives better in body free from dis ease.

MIR. HALLS DENIES
 THE SEABOARD DEAL
Owner of the Birmingham Belt Road Says 1t Has Not Been
 Sold.

A special dispatch to the Age-Herald from New York says:
 "The report to the effect that the Bir- mingham Belt Railroad has been sold to the Seaboard Air Line was denied today at the office of William Halls, Jr,, the owner of the belt line. When inquiry was made there this morning 1t was said:
 The road has not been sold. The re- port is premature. It is a case of a flea Jumping too soon. 7"
 The impression prevails in Birmingham that the road has been sold, notwith- standing repeated denials. It is believed that Mir. Atkinson has purchased it to place the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company in a position to dic- tate terms to railroads that may desire to enter Birmingham. Details of the scheme will probably be announced in a few days,

RODGERS ESCAPES
Slayer of Byrd Gets Away, Taking
 Guard With Him.

Meridian, Miss, September 25.-(Spe- cial. )-Henry Rodgers, the slayer of Tom Byrd, at Philadelphia, Miss, has es- capped from his guards.
 The guard was a man named Brant- ley, and a son of the ex-sheriff of Neshoba County, who, 1t Is said, went with Rodgers.
 The supposition Is that Rodgers went to some of his people in Winston Coun- ty. and that Brantley accompanied him as a guard until the two could come back. or 1t may later turn out, that he assisted Rodgers to escape from the of- ficers.

SELMA
Primary May Be Called to Settle Race
 for Judge.

Selma, September 25.-(Special.)- J. A new phase has been taken on by the contest in Dallas County for the position held by the lamented P. C.. Wood, Judge of Probate. This was brought about by the specialization of a sentiment in favor of a primary election to indicate to the Governor whom the people want to receive the appointment. Acting on this senti- ment Chairman Burns of the County Executive Committee has called that body to meet on Tuesday next to make arrangements to hold a primary cleo tion, and Governor Jelks has been mo- tified of the pending matter. Whether the primary will be called or not of course cannot be told until after the meeting of the committee, but there is a strong sentiment in its favor, and the Journal has again raised its fla nous shibboletn of Let the people rule" and is contending for primary with all its influence.

IA BRILLIANT EVANGELIST Pays High Tribute to Pe-ru-na as
 Tonic.
T OniC.

The work of the evangelist is very try ing, requiring of him 8 versatility and quick-witted adjustment to changing conditions, that few men possess. Every bodily power is taxed to its utmost in such work.
 No wonder the evangelist finds Peru na 8 God-send. No wonder when his physical powers flag and his tired nerves throb that he seeks the wholesome, re- juvenating vigor that Peruna is sure to bring.
 Evangelist Hoffman Is to be congratu- lated, not only that he has found exactly the remedy that he needs, but also that he does not lack the courage necessary to declare his convictions to the whole world. In carrying the truth to the peo- pie he has never uttered 8 greater truth than when he said that "Peruna is tonic and nervine of excellent value to public workers who are under constant nerve strain and in need of such remedy"
 A Bishops Letter.
 Bishop T. II. Lomax, D. D., Bishop Of the Second District A. M. E. church, from China, writes from Charlotte, N. O.:
