POOR NEEDING COAL
ORGANIZED CHARITIES ARE
 AIDING WORTHY ONES.
Fuel is Demanded to Keep Suffering From the Doors of Unfortunate Ones of Montgomery-An
 Appeal to Public.

''The sure-enough cold weather is on us, and the poor of Montgomery are without fuel" said Gladden. Harrison, private Secretary to Police Chief Gerald and Secretary of the Organized Charities. yesterday.
 ''As soon as the thermometer began its downward course," continued Mir. Harri- son. II had a large number of applica- tions for coal. Four dollars was in the treasury of the Organized Charities, and that went to only the smallest extent in purchasing fuel for people, who were in dire need or warmth. I investigated number of cases today and most of them were worthy people, reduced by misfor- tune to suffer the biting blasts of winter unless the good people of Montgomery come to their assistance"
 Several months ago, MT. Harrison said. a kindly disposed gentleman had offered the Organized Charities $10o in cash and six tons of coal, whenever the organiza- tion might see fit to call on him. This was done as to the coal and the six tons were delivered immediately.
 But tonight" emphatically and pa- thetically prophesied the big-hearted of- flcer. there will be numbers of people in Montgomery suffering for lack of fuel"
 Today MT. Harrison will make "coal campaign, ana the ritably-1nclined are urged to respond. The donations will go toward supplying the poor of Mont gomery with fuel throughout the winter months. and Secretary Harrison. as well as the other officers of the Organized Charities hope that tonight there will be few residents of Montgomery or vicin- ity who have not a comfortable fire on their family hearth.
 The report of the Secretary of the Or ganized Charities has been issued in pamphlet form It shows that although the finances of the organization have been meagre, the work done in Mont gomery from January 1st to October 1st was widespread.
 During this time twenty-two families were assisted, forty-two widows, 169 children. thirty-two males and twenty five females. making total of 291 persons assisted. Seven persons were secured permanent or temporary employment and six families were supplied with a physi- cian Numbers of persons were sent to the various hospitals, and aid was re- qured and bestowed on persons from every cause from old age to drunken ness.
 Secretary Harrison has also appended to his report some typical cases and heart-strring stories may be read be- tween the lines of the few words in which the cases are explained.

BAPTIST MISSION BOARD
 AIDS WEAKER CHURCHES
At Annual Meeting Money Was AppOrtOned For Work in Alabama--Old Officers
 We're Reelected.

The Baptist State Board of Missions at its annual meeting in Montgomery yes- terday apportioned $15,Oo0 to various work throughout the State.
 This $15. 900 is to be divided into small donations to those churches, which, on account of scarcity of funds. are unable to properly pay a minister. to the various work undertaken by the women of the denomination throughout Alabama, to needy and infirm ministers and to gen. orally aid the denomination in Alabama.
 The meeting of the Board was held at the Adams Street Baptist Church and from H:3O o'clock yesterday morning un- til twilight yesterday evening. the score of members of the Board present were busy passing on the reQuets for appor- tionments from various small and weak churches.
 G. G. Miles of Montgomery. President of the Boarl. presided. W. B. Davidson of Montgomery was reelected Recording Secretary and Rev. w. B. Crumpton, D. D.. was reelected Corresponding Sec retary and Treasurer.
 Report of Secretary.
 Rev. W. B. Crumpton submitted his annual report to the Board. He spoke on the increased approproation for missions as decided on by the Troy convention, which calls for $500 to be divided into Home. Southern and Foreign Missions. The increase amounts to S90O, but Dr. Crumpton expressed the belief that with proper energy and faithfulness the in- crease could be easily raised.
 The report emphasized the work of mis- sion schools in the country districs. There are two of these schools, he re- ported. doing great work now, at Scotts- boro and Newton. and in the early fu- ture. he hoped to see a similar institution established at Healing Springs, Washing. ton County.
 In the Black Belt. the report continued the clutches are becoming weaker on &C., count of the white population moving from the country sections to the cities. The condition, Dr. Crumpton averred, was alarming.
 The report advocated 5000 appropria- tion for denomination work in the Bir- mingham district. The report indicated that although the Baptists were strong in that section of Alabama. still there was vital necessity for some strenuous work in those parts.
