ESCAPED DROWNING.
W. A. Gesner Had Close Call in
 Catoma Creek.

While swimming in Catoma Creek, morning, William A. Gesner. q years old. had a narrow escape from drowning. It required several hours of perseverance and hard work by his companions to re- suscitate him.
 Mr. Gesner, In company with a number of his friends and relatives had been camping on the banks of Catoma Creek, nea rthe Hayneville road since Tuesday. Yesterday morning about 11:30 o'clock MT. Gesner. o. A. Clapp, his uncle, and Alex Cassimus, got into a boat and left the camp to go in bathing. MT. Clapp was the only one in the party who could swim
 Thinking the creek was shallow, Mir. Gesner dropped off the rear end of the boat and before MT. Clapp could reach him, he had gotten beyond his depth and sank in the water.
 MT Clapp began to dive for the body of young Gesner, and in about eight min utes succeeded in bringing him to the surface, and after much effort got him into the boat. The work of resuscitation was hastily begun, but it was not until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon when the young man evinced signs of life
 As soon as it was apparent that the young man was out of danger. he was taken to his home. 322 Monroe Street. All though greatly revived. he is still very Ill and the attendant physicians fear an attack of pneumonia.

TEAMS WILL NOT ENTER
MONTGOMERY MILITARY MEN CANNOT GO TO SAVANNAH.
Greys and Blues Find It Impossible to Send Picked Men to Partici- pate in Marksman-
 ship Contest.

The Montgomery military companies will not be represented at the National Guard marksmenship contest to take place in Savannah, Ga, beginning Au- gust 25
 This fact was definitely established last night when the Montgomery Greys decid- ed not to send a team to Savannah. The Montgomery Blues reached the same de- cision several weeks ago.
 For the past six weeks the invitation to the Montgomery Greys and the Montgom- cry Blues to enter teame in the contest has been the chief topic among military men of Montgomery. Col. w. W. Bran don, Adjutant General of the State, urg- ed the Montgomery companies to send teams to the contest, for the purpose of instruction if not to win the prizes off, fered.
 The Blues decided soon after the invi- tation was received that the company could not send team. The Greys, how ever. organized a team which practiced daily for the contest.
 During this week several members of the team found that it was impossible for them to leave their business at the time of the contest. They reported the matter to the company commander. Capt F.. B. Joseph, Jr. At the regular weekly meeting last night the company decided as its best men could not contest for the prizes it would not send a team to Sa- vannah.
 The military men will continue to prac- tice with the rifle and are at present making efforts to build a rifle range on the outskirts of Montgomery.

RAISED OWNERS IRE
OBJECTION TO WIDENING OF
 MONTGOMERY STREET.
Property Holders Between State and Goldthwaite Will Fight Any Proposition to Prepare
 Street for Car Line.

Persons who own property on Mont gomery Street between State and Goldth- waite Streets will fight the proposition re- cently presented to the City Council to widen Montgomery Street at that point
 It Will be remembered that at the Coun- ell meeting Monday night, Alderman J. Il. Hartley introduced a resolution re- questing Mayor Joseph to inquire into the cost of widening Montgomery Street between State and Goldthwaite Streets in order to make room for the tracks of the Montgomery Traction Company.
 Montgomery Street at this point is very narrow. too narrow in fact for a car track and wagon passage on either side.
 Some property owners on this block object to the proposition. A. R. Harvey who owns property on the block said yes terday that he was unalterably opposed to changing the width of the street He said he would urge the Council to reject any such proposition. He had already seen seevral of the Aldermen he said and had discussed the matter with them He had also talked with other owners of property in this block and he said they agree with him that the matter should be opposed.
 ''I think" said MT. Harvey. that the new street railroad company will lose enough in damage suits, resulting from loss of life and property on that street to pay for the construction of the road They ought to change their route"
 The resolution presented to the Coun- ell by Alderman Hartly requests Mayor Joseph to ascertain from the property owners, what amount they will accept as damages to their respective properties by widening the street so as to give road way of fifty feet from curb to curb and an eight foot sidewalk on either side Of the street.
 The Council adopted the resolution, but if the other property owners are af strenuously opposed to improving m, street as is MT. Harvey Mayor Joseph will probably report to the Council that the projected widening of the street IS not feasible.

 AT OPENING OF CONTEST
Hundreds or Persons Were on Hand When Corps or Advertiser Clerks Began Receiving
 the Estimates.

testant appeared and by a. m. four con- testants were lined up ready for the long wait.
 By a. m. the line had grown to in- teresting proportions. and by o'clock the crowd began to swerve across the sidewalks and around the corner of Law renee Street until by the time the con- test opened at 10 o'clock the line ex- tended far up Lawrence Street
 One noticeable feature was the large number of women and children who par ticipated and formed into line.
 The concert by the talking machine and graphophone was well appreciated by all listeners and passed away the long mo- ments of waiting in a pleasant manner.
 When the big clock in the postofiice tower was about to indicate 10 o'clock those in front of the line became rest pointed to the last few minutes their eagerness could hardly be restrained.
 At last the Problem Editor called a cheery all right and the great con test began. The estimates were eagerly handed in, each being numbered and reg istered. It required over an hour and a half for all to pass their estimares through the window and the work was conducted with all possible speed.
 Everybody seemed well satisfied with the arrangement of building the line and no doubt the result will give assurance to others in future.
 The Dots are on and the contest prom ises to be most exciting to the finish
 Many have waited until later to enter their estimates, knowing that the best counters. There may be something in this argument but it's safe to be early.

became associate editor and for more than Lnrve years ne ana MT. Henderson con- 0ucted the paper together. July H. 1oos Mir, Henderson wrote 6 | lengthy valedictory and Rev. J, E. Daw- son took his place with MT, Taiiarerro. Mir. Henderson had for about seven years been associated in the editorial control of tho paper, and general regret was ex- pressed all over the State Ut the sever anco of his connection, During this time and for six years prior thereto he had been tho pastor of the BaPtist Church at Tuskegee.
 Mir. Dawson having died in November, 1s6O, Mir. Taliaferro continued the pu5iioa- tion alone until March 6, 1o52 when he an- nounced a suspenslon. He gave three reasons CD his publisher. ], E, Jones, had joined the Confederate army anu no satisfactory arrangement could Dc made to supply his place: @ printing paper and materials were almost impos- sible to procure, even at fabulous prices, (3) his subscribers had not given him the proper support
 This suspension caused much irritation and regret on the part of the Baptists of the State and in less than d month, on April 3, 1862, publication was resumed with Rev. Samuel Henderson again as- sociated as editor.
 On May 22, ls62 Rev. A. J. Battle, who is still living, took the place of MT. Tal- iaferro. He went out on Maorch j, 1864, and MT. Henderson continued the paper until Vol. 16. No. 2s, was issued on April 13, 1865. This last issue is in the file now in the possession of the Archives department.
 During the whole series the paper was edited with exceptional ability and care. There is hardly a missing number for the war period. thus making the file of unusual interest to the historian Of Ala bama for the period. During these years the papers contained not only matters of church history and denomnational work, but war orders, reports of battles, letters from soldiers at the front, loving obitua- ries and tender tributes to the men in Grey who had fallen. and appeals full ot patriotism, stimulating the people of the State in the struggle. During the latter part of the war, although reduced to single sheet the subscription price of the paper was $5 a year.

AFTER POE GA LONG wAYs.)

See the papers with the dots
 Big dots, little dots, dots of any size; Running off in angles or dancing round
 in spots,
 And making merry monkeys of your
 eyesi
 How they mingle. mingle, mingle- How they make your senses jingle,
 With their everlasting tumble.
 And their never-ceasing tumble, And the never-destroying jungle
 Of the dots.
 You must count the little dots.
 Up and down, across. or any other plan; Single shots, double shots, any kind of
 shots,
 But count the dots correctly-if you can, For they tangle. tangle, tangle, Till your mind is in q wrangle
 With the constant interfiring
 With the frequent disappearing And the everlasting jangle
 Of the dots.
 A great crowd was present at the new building of The Advertiser at 10 o'clock yesterday morning when a corps of clerks began to receive estimates on the Dot problem.
 Promptly at 10 o'clock The Advertiser began to receive estimates. An envelope from the mail was opened and then a coupon was received from the first per- son heading the line at the window.
 Everything passed off in good order, there being no crowding or unpleasant ness to those in line, although. the line was large.
 The first contestant arrived at a. m. and was met by The Advertiser man on watch. Soon afterward the second con-

SUMMER CATARRH
AFFLICTS
"I Could Eat Nothing Without BeinS In Pain"
MIR. R. BAER. BIO Jackson Street.


 N. Topeka, Kansas, writes:
 "For three years suffered with ulcers in my stomach. I could eat nothing without being in pain, and could scarcely sleep at all. I could get nothing to help until I began the use of Peruna. I took four bottles and at present I am we'll and entirely cured as far as I know."-R. R. Baer.
 Catarrh of the stomach very fre- quently produces ulcers in the stomach. Liberation of the stomach is a most diff ficult disease to treat. Doctors have al ways had a great den of trouble with this disease. The only way to cure ul- ceration of the stomach dependent upon catarrh is to cure the catarrh. Peruna cures catarrh wherever located. It cures catarrh of the stomach, and the ulcers disappear of themselves. Thousands of cases of catarrhal alteration of the stomach have been cured by Peruna af- ter everything else has failed.

OLD BAPTIST NEWSPAPERS.
Interesting Files Presented to Arch
 ives Department

1NSS OSpdT LmeuL.
 The State Department of Archives and History has just received six large bound volumes of Alabama Baptist newspapers dating from February 24. 1s4a in unbroken sequence to April 13, 1855.
 These files were presented by Mrs w. w. Wallace of Wilsonville in memory of her father, the late pr. Samuel Hen derson who was so long connected with the editorial management of Baptist newspapers. The gift is in the name of the surviving children of Dr. Hender- son.
 The file begins with the Alabama Bap- tist Advocate" Vol. 1, No. l. Feb. 24, ls49. The title Ipage recites that 1t is Devoted to religion. morality science. literature and general intelligence" IL was published at Marion. Perry County. On December s, 1852, having removed tc Montgomery. its first issue appeared in this city. With the first number for January, 1854 1t was issued at Tuskegee where it continued to be published until the close of the war between the States.
 Its first editor was A. w. Chambliss son of John Chambliss of Darlington dis trict. South Carolina. MT. Chamblss was an editor of ability. but ceased his connection with the issue of November 10. 1852, having sold the paper to Rev, Albert Williams and Rev. Samuel Hen derson. On July 3l, 1850 the title of the paper was changed to the South West ern Baptist" under which name it con tinued during the rest of its existence. The new title gave the paper a claim to a much larger territory for support, anc it seems to have had a general circulation over all the States of the Southwest.
 Prior to the retirement of MT. Cham bliss, from March 3, 1852, Rev. J. $ stitler of Galveston, Texas. was a cor responding editor
 Mir. Williams retired in the latter part of 1853. and January F, 1851 James NJ. Watt became associated with MT. Hen derson as co-editOr.
