 Evening"

The new church will be a frame structure with a stone and brick foundation. It will be erected at cost of several thousand dollars.
 The South Side Baptist Church is be- ing constructed to give convenient church accommodation to the many Baptists liV- ing in Cloverdale and other sections of the Southern part of the city. The new Church began it's life under most auspi- cious circumstances. It now has a mem- bership of more than 15O.

JOHNSTON AT CoLUMBIANA.
Large Crowd Hears Him Deliver His
 Stock Speech.

Columbiana. Aug. 9-(Special) )-Cap- tain Johnston spoke here today iii the court house. 1t being in the midst of the county criminal court there Was a large crowd. composed of members of all political parties, to hear him.
 His speech was substantially a repeti- tion of the speeches made In other pie,ccs. He criticised Governor Jelks for not meet ing him in joint discussion. He said the Jelks administration was one in which not one single thing was done or was at tempted to be done for all the people, except an abortve effort to require the people to have wide tired wagons.
 He emphasized the fact that not one single act passed during his Johnston s) term of office has been amended, or an attempt made to amend it.
 He gave himself full credit for the pri- mary election. said the distranchising o1 the negro who due to him, and alluded to his noted plank in the Democratic platform known as the intelligent and vrtuous plank. He said that While he was trying to diSfranChiSe the negroes Jelks was urging in his paper that Demo- cratic negroes should vote in Democratic primaries.
 He said that every voter entitled to should participate in primary and should ChCerfullN abide the results. lie Salu repeatedly that if ne got one single vote more than his opponent no power could keep him from being Governor of Ala hama.
 Johnston declared that when he became Governor there was d dehcit of over S6De,- OU0 in the State treasury and a the close Cf his term there was q surplus in the trcatury of over $5O0. .ooN and no outstand- ing debts He told some stale anecdotes such as the Old Man and SalIie killing the bearr, at which the POpuiist breath- ren present laughed vocifcrously.
 It is estimated that there were not oyer a half dozen Democrats in the audi encp who were Johnston men. The county is becoming more and more solid for Jclks There will he large crowd to hear Bowie Thursday.

ED SMITH SPEAKS.
Makes Strong Argument for Jelks
 at Abbeville.

Ashville. Aug. Especial. l-Hon. F. Smith of Birmingham, addressed an audience of fifty in the court house last afternoon in the, interest of Governor Jelks. MT. Smith commenced hls speech at 2:15 and closed at 4:1O Hc held the peoples attention throughout his talk, which was very Interesting and high toned being entirely free from abuse ol Governor Johnston or his cause. At the close of his discourse several of the citizens congratulated him. some of them being among the oldest in the audience. If there were but two Johnston men in the crowd it was not known to the Jclks men. who numbered thirty-eight, there being forty voters present.
 The fact that the published circulars announcing the speaking did not reach AshVille until Sunday accounts for there being no more present
 The Executive Committe having res cinded its action as to qualification oi voters and making the State Executive Committee rules the test gives iovernnr Jelks at least an equal showing with Gov ernor Johnston in this county and it Is the opinion of the Jelks men that they can now carry the county.

WOMAN Qn0
 SOCIETY.

education made them more capable of performing their duties and appreCiating these ties and no resulting effect as the unseXing of women was evidenced. ln- stead there were better homes and hap pier families.
 Why should man or woman, because of student life, be denied the enjoyment of social intercourse and the forming of ties which result in the Fear or distant future in marriage? Why should not stu happiness the rose of love which is the one great desderatum in their lives? Surely this is not Incompatible with de- vCtion to studies by either sex. The con- summation of ties formed under such auspices should prove no argument against co-education.
 Women with giant intellects do need the association of stronger minds in their pursuit of knowledge. and l hope that co-education shall continue for all time, for it has proven a blessing to men and women and to our country. .Evidently the writer of Evils of Co-Education" would have us revert to the times of the common law or even farther back to the incip:ency of the Roman law. in which the women were not co-educated. The upraisinS and rot the degrading of her sex should be ably advocated by all wo- men. for thus we are humaniZed. civilized and Christianized 1t is to he hoped that Mrs. Logan will not employ her facile pen to deprive her sister women of d hard won right-that of co-edHcation.

BODY OF JOE PAGE.
Remains Identified as Those of an
 Iron Moulder.

Tuscumbia, Aug. 19.-(Special)- de- composed body of a man found near the
 track of the Southern Railway, six miles
 east of this city last Wednesday after
 noon has been identified as the remains
 of Joe Page. an iron moulder employed
 at the stove foundry in Sheffield.
 Yesterday evening several of his fellow
 workmen who had seen the publication of
 the finding of the body. came to Tuscum-
 bia to investigate the matter. They stat
 ed that Page. who had been drinking
 heavily for several days, had been miss
 ing since Monday. and his whereabouts
 could not be ascertained.
 The body was not disinterred until yes
 terday morning, and as soon as his fei-
 low associates saw the size of the man and the clothing worn they were positive
 that the bod, was that of Joe Page. Dogs had eaten away the mans face.
 his body was also partly devoured, and
 1t was gruesome sight. but with the aid of disinfectants, it was relieved of its
 horrible offensivencss and conveyed to Sheffield where the moulders gave it a Christian burial this afternoon in the
 cemetery of that place.
 Nothing is known as to how the man came to his death.
 c. B. Powell of Birmingham, who is touring North Alabama in the interest of Captain Joseph r. Johnston's candi- crowd at the court house in this city Sat urday night, and filled an appoiFment at Cherokee yesterday morning where an other small number of voters heard him.
 He failed to enthuse any of his hearers at either appointment. not a ripple of ap- piause greeting him throughout his speech in Tuscumbia, which was possibly the tamest effort made here throughout the campaign by any speaker.
 There are none who doubt that Jellls will carry Colbert-it is merely a ques- ton of what his majority will be- Shef- field will poll more votes for Johnston than an prpcinrt in the County and tlc Jelks men are claiming Sheffield by d | good majority.
 Prof. James F. Alexander of this city. | one of the three candidates for the Demo- | cratic nomination for Representative
 from this County. has withdrawn from l the contest. leaving James T. Kirk and John E. Delony to fight 1t out.

Fairly good ranIs fell in portions of Mo-
 bile, Conecuh and Colbert Counties, with
 some copious showers along portions of
 the southeastern border, and light scat
 tered showers in a few central counties,
 but the week may be characterized as gen.
 orally hot and dry. day temperatures av-
 eraging quite high, and ranging slightly
 above lO0 at many points. while, over
 most of this section, no rain was receiv-
 ed: in fact. the greater portion of the
 State is still under influence of the
 drought; recent special reports indicate
 that there has been no general rainfall
 over this section during the last three
 months and in middle and southern por-
 tions of Pike, and portions of adjoining counties, and in many north-central and northern counties, practically no rain has fallen Tin over three months. Taken as a
 whole. the crop outlook is rather poor. particularly for cotton, corn and sweet potatoes. In few favored localities cot ton is promising, but as d whole. it's
 average condition is the poorest in years;
 in many districts it will not give more
 than half an average yield. and in some
 drought-striCken distiicts it will be near
 ly a failure: it is opening rapidly in
 nearly all portions of the State. prema-
 turely in some: picking is becoming gen
 eral in southern and middle, and getting
 underway in northern counties: rust Is
 still quite damaging in many sections.
 and shedding is still general; late planted cotton is not fruiting as well as previ- ously anticipated. and the indications are l that the top crop will hardly be worthy of note. Late corn Is doing fairly well on bottom lands, but is generally suffering for moisture with indications that the yield will be quite short; some has been cut and housed condition fair: much fod- der has been saved in southern and mid dle counties and some is being pulled in northern counties. Where rains have been received recently, all minor crops afe doing fairly we'll but, taken as a whole,' they are below the average con- ditiOn: in many sections sweet potatoes | have been set out the second time and | are not making good stands; turnips are | doing well in some sections. in others | they have been resown; some hay IS being saved. and fall gardens have been | planted. where rains were received 1 grape continue to make a good yield.
