SENDING OUT BALLOTS
MAKING PREPARATIONS FOR
 DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
Birmingham is Mecca of Public Men But Rush at Campaign Head quarters is Over-Magic
 City News.

Birmingham. Aug. 16.-(Special. )-The official ballots to be used in the State primary are being distributed today and will reach every polling place in Ala oama several days in advance of the election. There remains but one week. The rush at the headquarters of the gll- bernatorial candidates-Governor Jelks and former Governor Johnston-is over and the clerks and other employees are having a comparatively easy time.
 Hon. John H. Bankhead, Congressman from the Sixth District was at the Jelks headquarters today, having just returned from visit to North Alabama where he delivered a number of speeches in the interest of Governor Jelks. He reported that that portion of the State was safe for Governor Jelks and that nice majorities would be returned.
 O. P. Gaut, member of the Jelks Cam paign Committee, and one of the best known and most popular members of the Travellers Association, was at head quarters today, having returned from d trip through the wiregrass section. He reported the Democrats in that section of the State more united on Jelks than they were even on Senator Morgan. All the commercial travellers. he reports. in South Alabama are for Governor Jelks.
 B. A. Thompson, Jefferson County manager for Governor Jelks. is conf dent that this county will return a big majority for the Governor. He said that from East Lake to Elyton there would be Jelks majorities.
 J. V. Allen. who is in charge of the Johnston campaign headquarters and the work incident thereto, stated this morning:
 Our information leads us to believe that Captain Johnston will carry the State by safe majority. I do not care to make any estimates or to indulge in any wild claims"
 Judge B. M. Alien. who is Johnston's county campaign manager. says that he is reasonably sure that Captain John ston will carry Jefferson County. A large amount of correspondence is now being attended to at both headquar- ters in this city Birmingham appears to be the Mecca of politicians.

THE CONGREGAT CHURCH.


On Friday evening last, at social
following the regular meeting of the
Y. 7. S. G. e., d reception was given to
Rev r.. e. Aiken, the missionary of the
\. B. &. +. NJ, to China, temporarily
resident in Middlebury. The following
day was his birthday. Mr. Aiken has
entered into the social and religious
life OF the community SO pleasantly,
and his association with the pastor, in
frequent participation in one form and
another in miniSt erial services has been
so agreeable and helpful, that general
disposition pevailed to express to him
in some way the affection and esteem
in which he has come to be held. The
severe storm kept many away, but as
birthdays are not subject to postpone
ment, the small company present car
ried out the program. When refresh
mentS had been served, an apple was
handed to- Mr. Aiken, which the gent le-
man found upon investigation con-
tanned Il sum OF money in gold amount
ing with additions, to about $40. Mr.
AikenS addresses upon China and the
work OF Christian missions there at
the monthly concert Of prayer for mis-
sions, the first Sunday evening of the
month, have been most instruct i've.
entertaining and at times thrilling.
TO those who have heard him here. it

lar benefit from his presence for a
time in the home land.
