The Missionary Union Held An
Interesting Meeting and the
Training of Children Was
Thoroughly Discussed.

The Missionary Union held most
interesting and profitable meeting
March 25th at the Congregational
church. The discussion was timely
and enthusiastic. The papers We're
most excellent Mrs, Barnett's paper
on ''Woman's Work in the Home,
was one of the best. In it she said:
The training of a child is the wom-
an s work in the home; work which
brings great responsibility but when
faithfully done, an ample reward We
hear great deal nowadays about
the proper training of children and
doubtless you have read some of the
books which are considered the best
on this subject. But it seems to me,
that although these books are very
helpful in many ways. TOR the best
ideas we must go to the Bible. Paul
tells us that ''all scripture is given
by insuiration of God and is profitable
for doctrine, for reproof, for correc-
tion. for instruction in righteousness :;
that the man of God may be perfect,
thoroughly furnished unto all good
works. Soloman says; Train up
child in the way he should go, and
when he il old he will not depart
from it. -
Do you believe that? do. One

NEW EQUIPMENT
FOR PLOW WORKS
OLD AUSTIN-BRYAN PLANT NOW
OWNED BY THE EMPIRE CON-
PANY OF CLEVELAND is BEING
ENLARGED.

The old pillow plant of the Austin Bryan
company, at Ensley, which has been abb
sorbed by the Empire Pillow Works of
Cleveland o.. is being must improved by
the addition of new equipment and by
the middle of the year will be one of the
most complete plants of its kind in the
country.
Isaac Haas is president of the Empire
Pillow Works and Elias Haiman is vice
president Mr. Haiman will be in charge
of the works at Ensley.
Mr. Haas is quoted in the Savannah
News as saying that the contracts for the
electrical power for the new works will
be placed in few days.
New shops are being erected and or
ders have been placed for several car
loads of machinery" said ~. Haas.
THE company will manufacture agri-
cultural implements the same as at Cleve-
land. A feature of the industry will be
the manufacture of beams and wood
work for agricultural machinery. AS an
evidence of the extent of this branch of
the industry the company is now in the
market for !, 900, 900 feet of oak timber
The purpose of the company in ac-
quiring the Birmingham plant Is to sup
ply the southern trade. The opportuni-
ties and advantages of Birmingham for
the manufacture and distribution of agri-
cultural implements In tie south are
great The freight rates based on large
tonnage handling and the favorable con-
ditions governing the supply of Steel
iron and woods, should result in the ex-
elusive buying of agricultural implements
in the SOUTH
Familiarity with the business through
the success of the Celevalnd enterprise
enabled Mr.. Haas and his associates to
recognize the advantages already demon
strated by the successful manufacture
of agricultural implements in the south,
in the trade already built up in the
southwestern states and In Mexico.
The addition of the southern plant to
his large interests In Cleveland will bring
Mr.. Haas to the south oftener than hero
tofore. He will still retain his Savannah
business.

Coroner Paris Makes a Tho
rough Investigation
THERE WAS No FOUL PLAY
The Deceased Had Been on Spree
and Was Carried Home BY
Stranger In an Unconscious
Condition.

John Drew, brickmason. died yes
terday morning about o'clock at his
residence on Fourteenth avenue and
Twenty eighth street from the effects of
a quantity of pure alcohol, which he
drank Sunday. Coroner Paris made an In
vestigation yesterday afternoon at Lige
Logs undertaking establishment, and as
the result of the Information obtained,
he stated that in his belief the man
drank the poison while unconscious, not
knowing what he was doing. He does not
think 1t was a case of suicide.
According to the information obtained
by the coroner. Drew was carried home
Saturday night In an unconscious con-
dition by a man claiming to be friend.
Drew was drunk and unconscious, and
remained in that condition until about
o'clock Sunday morning when he re-
gained consciousness to some extent and
drank a pint and a half of alcohol from
which he died The evidence was that he
drank that much alcohol in five hours,
finishing the bottle about 10 O'Clock Sun
day morning.
The label on the bottle of alcohol was
that of the Cheek Drug company and
1t is supposed he purchased it from that
firm. The man who carried Drew home
Saturday night is not known, but the
theory that he had drugged Drew with
the intention of robblng him is not ac-
copied by the coroner. The man was well
dressed, and 1t is not thought that he
would have carried Drew to his home II
he intended robbing him. The stranger
undressed Drew, and afterwards got In
bed with him, but left during the night.
Drew leaves wife and eight young
children. Coroner Paris states that they
are not very well provided for. but that
they are In no immediate need.

Serious Charge Against Former
Deputy Collector
TO Be BROUGHT HERE
Coroner Paris Thinks He Knows Some.
thing of the Mystery Surrounding
the Death of Leonard Dun
ham, Who Was Killed.

G. Neil King, a former United States
revenue collector with headquarters in
Birmingham, is under arrest in Mont
gomery on a charge of being implicated
in the murder of Leonard Durham in
this city on the night of January 2
Sheriff Burgin said last night he would
send a deputy sheriff to Montgomery to-
day to bring King to Birmingham.
King was arrested yesterday morning
upon warrant sworn out by Coroner
Paris of Jefferson county.
1t is said that at recent session of
the coroner's jury it was decided to effect
the arrest of King, as witnesses testified
that he was seen with Durham on the
day of the murder.
Durham was found in an unconscious
condition at the corner of Eighteenth
street and First avenue by Policeman
Tully and carried to st. Vincents hos
pital, where he died. His wounds were
of such a nature that the coroner thinks
he was hit on the head with heavy
instrument of some kind. Complete mys-
terry surrounded the affair ror some time,
and John Brewer, called 1.-THE Cowboy
is now in the county jail on a charge of
knowing something about the matter.
The coroner still thinks Brewer is con-
nected with the murder.
Coroner Paris said yesterday he had
spared neither time nor money to get at
the bottom of the mystery surrounding
the death of Durham and he thinks he is
slowly unraveling 1t.
1t is claimed by the authorities that
Durham was robbed Of several hundred
collars, and that a number of papers
were also taken from his person.
A special from Montgomery last night
in regard to the arrest of King says:
king gave himself up and expressed
a desire to go to Birmingham and an
swer the charge. 1t seems that he had
only recently heard that there was a
suspicion against him. He says nothing
about the matter except that he wants
to have it cleared up, as he knows moth
ing about the DEATH or circumstances
surrounding the death of Durham"
