FOR PRESERVATION
 OF HUMAN LIBERTY
GREAT INTEREST
 IN THE SERVICE
REVIVAL AT CUMBERLAND PRES ENTERTAIN CHURCH RESULTS IN MANY coNvERsloNs-FlFTY. TWO YESTERDAY.

Sunday was notable day in the revival meetings at the First Cumberland Pres byterian church. There were 52 conver- sions. Thirty of these were young men.
 There have been over one hundred con versions and forty-eight additions to the church since the meetings began.
 The Rev. w. T. Rodgers, of Knoxville, Tenn, who has assisted the pastor, the Rev. I. D. Steele in the meetings preached at Il a. m. on "The greatest question ever asSed' The text was St Matthew, 22:42, What think ye of Christi" He said that he thought Christ was a perfect man: that he was the worlds greatest teacher; that he was the world s greatest benerac- tor; that he Is the worlds greatest leader.
 Under Christ's leadership the worlds masterpieces of music were composed, it's masterpieces of literature were writ ten, its best paintings were executed and it's best universities and colleges were founded. Jesus Christ Is the greatest transformer and emancipator that ever lived. He is the Son of God. He is perfect man and perfect deity. Through him we become the sons of God.
 At p. m. pr. Rodgers preached  special sermon to men only on "The young man and the deyil"= The house was pack ed with men. Over a hundred stood for prayers. Thirty went to the altar and twenty publicly confessed Christ as their Savior.
 At the 8 o'clock service last night the auditorium and chapel were crowded. MT. Rodgers preached on Sowing and Reap ing" Text, Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap" He said that we reap the same kind of seed that we SOW; that we will reap more than we SOW; that we will reap even if we repent Of the sowing; that an awful harvest awaits the finally impeintent sinner. But if we SOW to the Spirit of God we shall reap life. There were nine men and three wo- men converted at this service. MT. Rod gers had many striking illustrations. causing sometimes laughter and some- times tears. He leaves today for Union City, Tenn., where he will attend the meeting of the synod of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.

INVESTIGATE
 "OFFICIAL" ACTIVITY
CASE OF AWKWARD
 TO BE TRIED TODAY
DEPENDANT WHO REFUSED TO PAY 5000 LICENSE FOR SELL ING DAMAGED GOODS PROTESTS AMOUNT IS UNREASONABLE.

The case of J. s. Aylward. who refused Saturday to pay the tax collector H. eense tax of $1OOO a week for conducting a store in which he was selling goods damaged by fire. will come up in police court this morning at 9 o'clock.
 MT. Awkward said last night that he would fight the case in the courts as he considered that license of 5000 a week was unreasonable. He further says that he Is retailing clothing and spending his money here and that on account of the heavy expense he could not afford to pay such a license
 He said "The statement made that several merchants would testify in court that I could afford to pay a license of 5000 week is simply ridiculous, as rent, the salaries of salespeople and other ex- penses, and an additional $10O0 week would be out of the question, and am in a position to prove this to the tax collector
 Asked what defense he would make he said: 'I am merely retailing clothing and am spending my money with the hotels and real estate people in Birming ham, just the same as any other mer' chant, and to impose upon me license of s1000 week Is utterly unreasonable.
 Considerable interest is being manifest ed in the outcome of this fight against the amended orG.nance changing the li- cense for those selling damaged goods at special sales from $500 to slOO0 week.

MARION COUNTY
 BALLOT ERROR
BANkHEAD WAS AT HAMILTON DAY BALLOTS CAME FROM THE PRINTER AND MISTAKE WAS PROMPTLY CORRECTED.

Congressman J. H. Bankhead of the Sixth district was among the callers at democratic headquarters yesterday morn- ing. He is en route to the Seventh dis trict counties to make a number of speeches during this week. Col Bank head gave a detailed statement of how the error had occurred in the printing of the official ballots for Marion coun- ty, showing that there was no intent on the part of the officials of the county to commit fraud and that they were in no way responsible for the error in divid- ing the name of John Anthony Winston Smith, the republican candidate for gov ernor, so that John Anthony appeared on one line and Winston Smith on another.
 q was in Hamilton the day that Judge White received the tickets from Mar shall & Bruce of Nashville" said Col. Bankhead land as soon as he opened the package and discovered the error in the printing he called in a number of prominent citizens to consult as to the legality of the ticket.
 During this consultation the represen- tative of Marshall & Bruce called at the probate office and he was notified of the error Within two hours, and before complaint had been made, the repre- sentative left for Guin, the nearest tele- graph station, and notified his house of the error and ordered supply of correct ed tickets. The talk about intended fraud upon the part of the Marion eoun- ty officials is absurd"
 Col Charles E. Waller of Hale, late candidate for the democratic nomination for lieutenant governor, was also at dem- ocratc headquarters yesterday. MT. Waller has rendered his services to the central committee for the remainder of the campaign, and he has been billed for two speeches daily until the day of election Mr. Waller is one of the strong est stump speakers in the party and his services have been much in demand, but professional business has prevented him from taking the stump earlier. He will go to Marshall county today.

In the center of this pavilion the poultry exhibition will be opened today. The Poultry association of the state has given these fairs are to be held each year they will exhibit only at the state fair and not give any separate poultry shows.
 In the agricultural department the most extensive and attractive exhibits are those made under the management of Commissioner Poole and his assist ants. Considering the dry season and other unfavorable conditions in regard to the crops this year, the extent of these exhibits is commented on favorably. And besides the state exhibits there are individual and county displays which, while small in volume, are not less meri- torious.
 For richness of display that of Mont gomery county takes the lead; for novel, ty of arrangement that of Shelby county is perhaps the most interesting, while those of Cleburne, Clarke, Mobile Gull man, Morgan, Baldwin and other sections of the state give suggestive indications of the capability of Alabamas s lands and climate to produce all things which man needs or desires. There is not one of these displays that will not repay care ful inspection and study.
 Machinery Hall.
 In the machinery hall are exhibits of labor-saving machinery. The inspection of the agricultural impliments, the gas engine bottling works and other ma c1,f will oil
 The exhibit of cotton plants with the cotton just bursting from the boil, made by the experiment station at Auburn IS good. It embraces more than so varieties The exhibit is under the direction of professor from Auburn college, who Is an expert in the growing of all crops, suitable to Alabama soil and climate. Tn this exhibit are seen fine examples of forage plants Farmers who visit this ex- hibit will obtain valuable knowledge and information which will be worth, if ap- piled to their own farm work many times the price of admission to the fair
 Woman's Building.
 In the woman's building the fancy work. the examples of crockery and oth- CT handy work of the women of Bir- mingham and the surrounding country are attractive. The piano contest is being held there.
 One of the best exhibits is that of the Jesse French Plano company. The decor ations of their booth are the same as were used in the Pan-American exhibi- tion. They have musicians at their booth every day performing on the various in- struments. In the negro building are found samples of the work of the negro men and women. In case of an accident on the grounds, pr. Councill, son or Professor Councill of Normal has open ed an emergency hospital with a trained | nurse in attendance, and with proper | cots for taking care of the patient.

 The lighting of the grounds at night Is good. All the avenues are illuminated so that traffic from one part of the grounds to an other is comfortable. The night entertainments for the present week will be better than those last week.
 No Question About 1t.
 No person can obtain anything like an accurate idea of the attractions of the fair except by a personal visit.
 Lovers of live stock can see horses and cattle on exhibition in the live stock pavilion. The exhibit from the experi- mental station at Auburn alone would re- pay a visit of every lover of fine cattle.

THE FOUR MILLION CLAIM.


There seems to be wluo diver
;gence of opinion in Washington
and among citizens of the Chero-
kee nation with reference to the
claim known ss the Slade-Bender
accounting or the "a 900, 900 found
due the Cherokee nation according
to said accounting. The histcry
of this claim is we'll known, though
somewhat misunderstood, or mis-
interpreted by interested parties.
The facts are. the eastern Cher
okees had q balance Of 81 Ill, 1884,
20 due them with interest at FIVE
per cent from June ~, 1888. But
the eastern Cherokees were given
full rights in the Cherokee nation,
and whatever funds they had were
placed to the credit of the whole
Cherokee people. They were al
'iowed to share equally with the
old settlers in the lands west Of
the Mississippi river. This money
undoubtedly belongs to the Chero
kee nation.
