COAL
 ON OPEN ACCOUNT.
Manager McNair of Bunch Coal Com pany Says Governor Has Never Paid For His Coal But Denies That Fuel Was Give His
 Excellency.

Little Rock, Feb. 24-The investi- gation last night by the ways and means committee of the house of the charges growing out of the controvJr- sy between Governor Davis and the other members of the penitentiary board turned upon the alleged furnish ing of free coal to the governor and to Purchasing Agent Page of the state charitable institutions board.
 R. H. McNair, the manager of the T. H. Bunch Coal Company, was the only witness on the stand. T. H. Bunch was requested to come to the com mittee meeting by Deputy Sheriff Barney Stiel, at the request of the governor and with the acquiescence of the committee, but MT. Bunch sent word back that he would not come. MT. McNair stated that he had fur nished coal to the governor and to MT Page for which his company had not been paid. The coal was furnished in the winter of 19O1-2. The question as to whether the witness knew that the governor and MT. Page had the power to injure him in the collection of the money for the contract for the coal for the state charitable institutions, which was let for one year in the sum- mer of 1901, was barred and was not answered. Governor Davis claimed that the matter was merely an open account, remaining unpaid.
 In the course of the investigation there were several lively tilts between Governor Davis and Chairman Merri- man of the committee. In one of these the chair told the governor that unless he conformed to the ruling of the chair he could not appear at all. Governor Davis had charged the chair with injustice in his rulings. MT. Mer- riman made statement which was loudly cheered.
 A resolution by MT. Futrell to per- init only the governor to cross ex- anime witnesses was voted down by a vote of six to five. The committee consumed some time in the argument on the resolution.

Is much to wonder at, and admire,
In their marvellous feats of Pyra-
mid building, dancing, playing
upon Musical Instruments, accom-
plishing equilibristic and acrobatic
acts, which seem beyond the pos
sible to such bulky bodies. The
Gentry Shows will perform this
year in McCoys lot, starting at ago
P. M. with a night performance
starting at o'clock. On the morn
ing of that day,a magnificent, brand

And the Series Stands Three to Three. Two Ex-
ceIIent Games to Follow. The Boys From
the Banks of the Kanawha Out
Played at Every Point

gone out with depressing swiltness,
Cooper sent high one which died
In Freds hands. Helmond sent
hot one over second for two bases.
Denton followed with good one
to SsladiAe who fumbled badly, and
the Captain of the visitors landed
safely on first. FarrePs hit brought
Helmond home and sent Denton to
third McWhorter sent high one
to Taylor, and Denton scored on the
out. Two nothing, every one on
anxious bench and the game sure
to be a good one.
In the second Abrams got four
bad ones. de went to second on
Bero's out, Benny to Farrell. Then
"Solly," just to even up that error
In the first, shot a hot one down
past the short stop, and Abrams
came across the home plate. 1t
looked like some more runs, but
although John reached third, the
hit to bring him home failed t.
materiailze, and the blackboard
said two to one In favor of the
other fellows.
Thus matters rested until the
sixth, when we caught our breath
and three runs and cinched the
game.
After Adamson had gone to Den.
ton, Outcalt went to first with a
base on balls. After Clintworth
had died in Cooper's territory,
Abrams advanced the captain and
took first himself on neat single.
Then Archie, who had played with
the Wheeling leaguers the day be-
fore and covered himself all over
with glory, took big bat, landed
on the first ball pitched, and when
that ball was foand, Outcalt and
Abrams were painting on the bench
and Bero was at third. The man
who didn't see the racket that pro-
duced missed ball treat. Just to
add little more to 1t, Soldiers
pitched a wild one, and Archie was
home. Three runs that looked big
on the right field fence.
In the eightht there was fun for
sure. Taylor, Adamson, Clintwortb,
Abrams, Bero, Saladlne, Castle and
Sweeney all hit safely, the latter
for two bases. The Charleston
mascot had left the field. They
were up In the air, and nothl:g
could stop the oil city boys. 1t was
great for us; awful for them. They
hated to be beaten, but by such a
score. Take the news to Charles
ton, and to that Parkersburg paper
which said we had the swelled head
because we could beat Stringtown
and some other place not on the
map
In the ninth a two base hit by
Clintworth and the third hit of the
game for Bero brought IN another
one, and we had eleven.
The visitors got their second one
In the last inning. Schultz got
safe oneAnd was brought home by
Benny's two Dagger. They wanted
some more, but they were not forth
coming.
The same team plays today and
tomorrow.

Colonel HowIe of Oklahoma.

Col. B. H. Howle formerly prominent in Alabama republican politics arrived in Birmingham yesterday from Walter, Alabama, his new home. Col. Howle went to the west during the rush for new lands at the time the Kiowa, Commanche and Apache reservations were opened for set tlement He has done remarkably well in his investments in the new country and returns as the representative of the Kan sas City-Lawton Investment company Of Walter, O. T.
 Within two years Col. Howle says the town of Walter has sprung up from the open prairie and now is hustling little city of 1900 people. The town has two national and one private bank, besides number of large business houses. Twelve miles distance is the city of Lawton hay ing a population of over 12,000. These towns are on the Rock Island road from Enid to Waurika and are growing rapidly. Col. Howle says persons living in Ala bama can hardly realize how one of those towns in the west can spring up, at is were, in a night after the big rushes for new lands.
 Col. Howle was formerly a member of the Republican State Executive Commit tee. He will remain in Alabama about ten days when he will return to Okla homa. W

CementInq The Suburbs.

Miles upon miles of smooth and su- perior cement sidewalks have been laid in this town, and point has been reached where extensions to the su. burbs becomes practicable and desir- able. Already Jonesyile has been connected by cement sidewalks with the central town, and there are not wanting signs that the gaps in First avenue will be filled, when Elyton will be cemented to us also.
 Such extensions increase the value of property, and serve the eonven- fence of the people, and the day is not distant when cement sidewalks and cherted streets will extend from East Lake and Gate City on the one hand to Ensley and West End on the other, and even Bessemer may become as- simulated in this manner. At present Bessemer would perhaps resist ce- ment invasion and invitation, but as the valley becomes fuller no doubt 1t, too, will accept the inevitable.
 Jones valley is to hold one com munity. Nothing is surer than that. John Jones builded better than he knew. Municipal consolidation may not be deemed desirable, but union will be planned based on cement side walks and hard roads-on intercom- munication, in other words. The om- nipresent trolley will be supplanted by the persuasive cement sidewalks As similation will rest on chert and ce- ment. All this will take place within five years, and even next year fine progress will be made in that direc- tiOn,

GORMAN AND BLACK.
From the Atlanta News.

From the Atlanta News.
 Senator German of Maryland for Pres- ident and Judge Black of Illinois for Vice President is the national democratic ticket that can win in the next election, says Representative L. F. Livingston to- day
 Colonel Livingston admits this is the first time Judge Blacks name has been put forward for the Vice Presidential nomination, but he backs up his choice with seemingly sound reason, Judge Black is ex-governor of Illinois and served as commissioner of pensions under C1eve- land.
 q would like to see Black of Illinois nominated for Vice President" said col- onel Livingston. "IIe is a good man and a very strong man. He comes from doubtful state, and is now the commander in chief Of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie. I believe Judge Black could carry Illinois and the Grand Army vote ought to be a powerful factor in many of the doubtful states.
 AS the presidential nominee, I pre- fer German by all means. The east would be thoroughly satisfied with him, and see no reason why the south should not be equally pleased. He is an astute politician, a fine organizer and would be safe President--I mean safe, in that all classes and all sections would trust him.
 'I am satisfied that the republican lead CTS anticipate considerable trouble in re- electing Roosevelt if we unite on strong man. Of course, if we select a weak man, they will win hands down. In pre- ferring German and Black, I cannot, of course, speak for the south-only for my self-but l certainly consider this the strongest ticket available at this time"
 Colonel Livingston closed by asserting that the prospects for a democratic vic- tory become brighter every day

THE TENETs OF THE sAPTIsTs

From the New York Sun.
 You are so generous in your courtesy to the various religious bodies that I feel confident that you will publish brief summary of the tenets of the Baptist church.
 The Baptists hold the New Testament as the single standard of faith ard piac- tce.
 They are not marrow" in their inter pretation of 1t, but allow the fullest lali- tude for individual reason. rhe'r card- nal doctrine is the personal belisf ln Jesus Christ as the only Mediator between God and man, and in the Holy Splrl. as His present representative in shs world.
 They reject the baptism of infants, as they hold that intelligent faith is q pre- requisite to church membership. Taey be- lieve 'immerse" to be the only fair trans lation of the Greek "baptzo," as applIed to a religious rite.
 Their form of church governmen. is democratic. each member having an equal vote.
 They are in close fellowship with all other Christians.
 In the United States they were the first body to extend religious freedom to sii people. This was done by Roger Viii Hams in Rhode Island.
 The Roman Catholic colony in Maryland was the second body to lake the step.
 They were pioneers in foreign mission work-Adeniram Judson being the first American missionary to Burmah. Numerically the Baptists are third--tol- lowing the Roman Catholics and Meth odsts-but as their membership Is adult, and includes no small children 1t repre- sents a larger constituency than it's four and one-half millions would indicate. The Church is prominently represented
 In education, literature and finance. No body of Christians has greater reas on for encouragement
 In common law the presum otion is in favor of an established GUS ;Srn. So n re- ligion the great religious denominations have nothing to fear from passing hobbies and cults, so long as the majority of rncn are loyal to the simple verites of Scrip ture, as exemplified in the lives ot Jesus and His Apostles.

MEN WHO LIKE DREAM BOOKS
From the New York Sun.

T run lhe INcW IOIh 0un.
 Have you got any of them fool dream books?" said a short, stout man entering an Ann street bookstore
 Lots of 'em," replied the salesman, tossing over a pile of paper books. with demons in red and black >adorning the front pages.
 My servant girl wants them," ex- plained the man, half apologetically.
 "Yes," said the salesman, looking bored.
 The man selected three of the books, one on dreams one on fortune telling and one on handkerchief firtations, paid for them and went away.
 His servant girl wants them" said the salesman to a friend "The old gag. He wants them himself and is ashamed to ask for them.
 ''We get several dozens of that kind in here every week. They are crazy over dream books and fortune-telling books, and all that kind of thing, but they are so afraid some one will know it.
 Almost every one of them planes the poor servant. That's the most popular bluff. They laugh and say they don't know why the servant wants them. but they suppose they'd better humor her.
 ''Then they take the books home and read them by the hour. When they've fin- ished them they come back for more.
 Its best to let them think they are fooling you. for we sell more books that way

Judge Lynch and the Laws Delay.

Instead of increasing the salaries of judges throughout the state the legis- lature saw fit to increase the number of judges, hoping in this way to over come the congestion of business, pres ent and future, at the lowest possible cost. It is claimed, too, that speedier criminal trials would reduce the feed bills paid by the state enough to meet the expense of the additional judges provided for in the bill now in the hands of Governor Jelks.
 But aside from all questions of cost The Age-Herald is deeply interested in the bill because it contains a sec tion providing for instantaneous spe- cial terms of court when a fragrant case arises. The Age-Herald does not share the public apprehension con corning the fate of this bill, because it believes Governor Jelks is desirous of overcoming the laws delays against any effort Judge Lynch may make when he feels like setting up one of his summary courts. The bill that Governor Jelks holds would defeat Judge Lynch at his own game. It would enable any circuit judge to con
