MEAN WHISKY
 CAUSES MURDER
HENRY ?CEBUCk AND WILL JACKSON MILLER, NEGROES, QUARRELED AND MILLER WAS SHOT O DEATH.

The imbibing of too much whisky and the use of profane language in the pres ence of females, were the direct causes of another murder in Jefferson county.
 The negroes had a big picnic and barbe- cue at North Lake, seven piles from Bir- mingham, Saturday, and late Saturday afternoon Will Jackson Miller and Henry Roebuck had a quarrel. It is said that Roebuck had been drinking during the day and at the time of the difficulty was quite drunk. He was very free in the use of violent language in the pres ence of the women. and for this Miller severely rebuked him. Roebuck disliked the rebuke and the two men clinched, Miller throwing Roebuck to the ground. As Roebuck fell he drew pistol and, without waiting to rise, fired upon Miller. killing him instantly. Roebuck escaped.
 The matter was reported to the coroner yesterday and in company with Deputy Sheriff Courson, Coroner Paris went to the scene of the murder. They had not returned to the city at late hour last night

It has been a hard matter to get a quorum of the Sons in the past, but recently number of members have taken a decided interest and we are having large and interesting meetings We will 40 what we can.
 "I believe that with this object in view che Sons will rally, and we will be able % aid the veterans materially in raising the funds monument to our fathers should certainly be eretced here, and the suggestion of the last meeting of the samp in regard to memorial stones in the snonument was a good one. The matter shall certainly be brought up and some saction will be taken.'

CAREER OF STRONG CITIZEN

William A. Walker. the eminent and be- loved lawyer, is dead.
 This information was conveyed to the members of his family here late yester- day afternoon in a telegram from Wm. M. Walker at French Lack Springs Ind, and it was a painful shock to all his friends. MT. Walker had gone to French Lick Springs just ten days ago in the hope of building up his broken constitu- ton. For the past three months his health had been failing, but there was no serious turn until las. Monday night, when he suffered two r-vere attacks of syncope. He rallied from these attacks and was apparently regcining strength very rapidly until yesterday. when the

RAGING EVENTS
 FOR NEXT WEEK
EXPECTED TO PROVE A REvELA- TON TO THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER WITNESSED EXCITING SPORT.

One week from tonight the Stadium will be thrown open to the public and the first bicycle races seen here in years will be run. To say the events will be revelation to the people of Birmingham is mild expression, for they have never under the modern circumstances. They are by far the most exciting sport to be found with the exception of good running race, and even at times they may challeege this form of sport.
 The Stadium contains track one eighth of a mile in circumference and the riders make a complete circut of this track about every eight or every eight and half seconds. If one could get q birds eye view of the track with several rioers on it, the sight would be interest ing indeed. It would appear as if the riders were at the end of great rope and were being ,whire4 rapidly round and round in this limited space They go at a malvelous rate of speeu. frequently fraction under mile a minute

Aid in Special Services.
Plans are being matured for the
evangelistic services at Trinity Meth
odist Church beginning Feb. 81. The
congregation is being enlisted and the
Epworth League and other societies
are cooperating heartily. Two serv-
ices a day viii be held and perhaps
more. There will be a large chorus
formed and good gospel singing will
prove an attractive feature.
The pastor will be assisted by Rev.
Lincoln Mcconnell. Mr.. Mcconnell
has lived many years i'm Atlanta and
his popularity in his home city shows
the confidence of the people in his
character.
When the First Methodist Church
sold out and moved further out on
Peachtree street it left a large down
town population. Bishop Gambler
and DR.. bowman felt the need of a
popular church TO reach this section.
The demand for institutional church
work was also felt. Consequently a
new movement was started, which re-
suited in the Wesley Memorial Church.
Bishop Gambler sought the church
over for a man of the spirit wisdom,
capacity for this work. Mr.. McCon-
nsll impressed him most favorably
and into his hands the new work was
committed. His success has been be-
yond expectations and large congrega-
tions have already been gathered. In
the meantime various features of the
open church policy has been initiated.
Previous to entering this work Mr.
Mcconnell was an evangelist. He has
held successful meetings all ,over
Georgia. Many Savannah people have
heard him and are delighted that he
IL 10 come here. In the West he also
did a great work IN conducting re-
ylvals.
Before his entrance into the ministry
Mr.. Mcconnell was connected with

After the benediction, the wardens,
vestry and members of the congrega-
ton will salute the minister and wish
him God-speed in his new duties
There will be no special music at the
service, and the decorations, owing to
the near approach of the Lenten sea-
son, will not be elaborate. The altar
and chancel will be decorated with
flowers.
Rev. Mr.. Ottmann is the fifth rector
of St. Paul's since 1t became an in
dependent parish and the eighth in
it's history.
In 1S55-56 movement was
started in Savannah for free

started, known as St. Metthews, from
