MIR. LOWE NAMES
 SUBCOMMITTEE Will Meet in Birmingham Mo- vember 24 to Take Action A NEW CAMPAIGN PLAN Suggested That Officers Be Named In Primary and Delegates to National
 Convention Be Selected By
 Executive Committee.
A NEW CAMPAIGN PLAN

Having selected the subcommittee au- thorized in the last meeting of the dem ocratic committee Robert J. Lowe, chair man. has started the wheels of the move- ment which means either a convention or primary for the voters in the dem ocratic party in Alabama. The commit tee is composed of the following well known men:
 H. s. D. Mallory of Selma.
 John F. Proctor of Scottsboro.
 ". c. Coker of Greenville.
 ". l. Bullock of RusselIville.
 R. H. Thach of Birmingham.
 The subcommittee will meet in Bir- mingham on November 24 and from pres ent indications it will probably decide on a primary election throughout the state. Leading members of the executive conn mlttse say that the action of the sub committee will not be final but will be referred to the executive committee for approval CT rejection It Is hardly prob able however, that any action they should see fit to take would be turned down by the whole committee.
 In view of the general clamor through  out Alabama for primary and the ob jection to so many names being printed on the ticket new plan for compromise has been suggested.
 Under this plan it Is proposed to have all of the county and state officers and supreme court judges nominated by the people It is then suggested that the dele gates and their alternates to the national democratic convention be selected by the democratic executive committee. The del- egates according to this arrangement would go to the convention uninstructed and without any state platform whatsoev- CT to guide them. According to some lead CTS state platform never cut any serious figure in a national convention and many members of the party think this compro- mise a good one. It gives the people general primary, at the same time short ems the ticket and does away with con- vention entirely.

Were Buried in Egypt Since the
 Second Century
NEW VERSIONS ARE GIVEN
Interesting Variations of the Generally Accepted Scriptures Are Revealed By Ancient Papyri-Are Ad-
 dressed to St. Thomas.

London, November 14-Many hitherto unknown sayings of Jesus Christ have been discovered in Egypt by archaeolog- ists, who say they have been buried since the second century, one hundred miles south of Cairo. Dr. Bernard P. Grenfell, who has been engaged in Egyptian exca- vations since 1894 at the general meeting of the Egypt exploring fund here, yes terday gave the following details:
 Accompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr. Gren- fell found a rich ptolemaic metropolis at El-Hibeh. The bulk of the documents from one mound consisted of a collection of sayings of Jesus. They are all intro duced with the words, Jesus saith. and for the most part are new. The ends of the lines. unfortunately. are often oblit- erated. Apparently all the sayings were addressed to St. Thomas. One of the most remarkable Is:
 Let not him that seeketh cease from his search until he finds; and when he finds he shall wonder wondering, he shall reach the Kingdom, q. e.) the kingdom of heaven, and when he reaches the
 
 Interest Aroused.
 "Dr. Grenfell remarked that enormous interest would be aroused by the discov- cries, on account of the variations they disclosed from accepted texts. One vari- ant of the saying, recorded In St. Luke, The Kingdom of God is within you Is of great value, as the saying in the papyrus appeared in quite different surroundings from those attributed to it by the evan gelist and extended far into another re- gion.
 According to Dr. Grenfell these sayings formed the new gospel. which is tradition- ally associated with St. Thomas.
 An interesting variation of the gospel. according to St. Luke 9th chapter and 52d verse) Woe unto you, lawyers, for ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye entered not into yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered," reads In the papyrus: 'Ye have hidden the key of knowledge. Ye entered not your selves, and to them that were entering in ye did not open
 Discourse of Christ.
 Another fragment contained a discourse of Christ, closely related to passages of the sermon on the Mount, and conver- sation between Christ and his disciples, in which Christ answers a question as to when his Kingdom will be realized, say ing:
 When ye return to the state of in- nocence which existed before the fall
 "A yalpAble find was made in papyri written n attn, giving the text of the epistle to Ne Hebrews and an epitome of Tivy's lost books. This, with other papyri covering the period 150-137 B.

John P. Elkin will be a candidate for
Governor in 1906. His boom was
launched at the meeting of the Indiana
County Republican Committee, last
Saturday.
At the Republican Urinary of Law
renee county, last Saturday, the anti
Wallace faction won out, and will con-
troll the County Committee two to one.
The Herald Republican, says
The battle is over, the victory won.
The Wallace machine has gone down
to defeat at the close of one of the
fiercest campaigns ever waged within
the Republican party in Lawrence
county. 1t made desperate fight to
gain control of the County Committee
in order to pave the way for victory
next Spring, and it has lost by a mar
gin SO decisive as to be prophetic. The
Wallace Republicans control the
County Committee, about two to one
The vote cast by the opponents of
Wallace domination was little short of
marvellous. They had no money and
they had no whisky; their only argu-
ment for the winning Of votes was an
appeal to manhood and conscience.
They fought a compact, perfectly or
ganized machine that is possessed Of
great wealth and that controls every
saloon in Lawrence county, machine
that used every weapon in its arsenal
in its attempt to capture the machinery
of the party that it might use it for
the perpetuation of its own power
A victory against such odds is mag
nificent vindication of the honesty and
decency Of the Republican party in
Lawrence county.

ton of a charitable and educational ma
ture il has outside of the hospital and
common schools That is the result OF
the meeting of the Reformed church
synod, which began Monday evening
and concluded Tuesday afternoon.
Nearly seventy delegates, ministers
and laymen, from the five classes OF the
synod-Allegheny, Somerset, Westmore-
ST. Pauls Butler, and Clarion, attend
ed.
The Synod was called to order by tie
yice-president, Rev Ii. +. Texter OF
Williamsburg. who gave way to the pres
ident, Rev. d A. Souders of Irwin, on
his arrival After organization, dur
ing which there was a heated discussion
as to who were entitled to admission
and vote as delegates. the Synod re-
solved itself into a committee OF the
whole with Rev. DR.. Lady, of New
Kensington. as chairman and the stated
clerk, Rev. j. III. Michldry, of Johns
town, as secretary.
DR.. P. c. Prugh then called for re-
port of the board Of directors of st.
Paul's Orphans Home. Rev. Dr. Heller,
chairman of the board, then reported
that Elders Kyle of Pittsburg Kunkle
of Greensburg and A. o. Eberharf OF
Butler, three of the trustees, had been
commissioned by the board to give an
option on the Guaranty Safe Deposit q
Trust Co., of Butler. for $4,000. This
was done. Kyle and Kunkle signing
and Eberhart refusing to sign.
This option was then discussed pro
and con all Monday evening and Tues

and DR.. John Fl. Prugh, of Pittsburg
| Attorney c. NJ. Bousch of Meadville,
(once a law student in Butler). Rev.
| Kort, and Rev D. Fl. Leeder, of Manor,
lead the opposition to sale.
Just before noon Tuesday resolu-
ton was adopted by vote of 20 to 21.
to the affect that the Synod did not feel
justified in selling for less than 800. 600
| The committee of the whole then re
| solved itself back into the Synod proper
and the gathering at once reversed it
self by turning down the resolution by
| a vote of 80 to 26.
| During the morning an offer was laid
before the Synod by local men of $50,
900, for "a lots, ~ taking up the entire
| Brady street frontage and II back OF
| these fronting north on E. Pearl street,
as laid out through the property.
| In the afternoon a resolution was
adopted leaving the whole matter in the
hands of the directors or trustees, and
| empowering them to sell the whole pro
perty for $75, 900, according to the OPP
tion, or for better price if they can
get it, or to sell off the "a lots for $50.
900. whichever they consider best. Ap-
parently the effect of the resolution is
| to bind the Synod to the option,
which expires Friday, the 18th.
The people of this place will be justly
indignant at the removal of the home.
Business men as rule consider the pro
perty to be worth from $25, 600 to $50,

buildings could not be duplicated. ac-
cording to builders, for $40, 600.
