How can any one have patience with newspaper which declares, as one North Carolina paper does, that Bryan still holds a controlling interest in the voting stock of the Democratic Party?' Such rot Is calculated to make sensible people tired, to put it mildly.

Letter to Bishop.
Birmfngham. Ala.. sept,

Birmingham. Ala. Sept. 21, 1903 Rt. Rev. c. M. Beckwith, Bishop of Ala bama, Anniston, Ala
 Dear Sir; I am instructed by the vestry of the Advent to acknowledge receipt of your letter of September 18 and to say that the failure of our vestry to comply with the strict requirements of the can ons in regard to the calling of Rev MT. Ewing was solely and only from the fact that the same was overlooked by us, and which possibly would not have been over looked or neglected had the same been re- quired and insisted upon In the past That while these requirements have not been insisted upon in the past by former bishops except so far as was necessary for the proper transfer from one diocese to another, we are ready and anxious to comply with any and all wishes or sug- gestions you may see fit to make. That with this in view and to carry out the suggestions contained in your letter, the vestry today met and nominated the Rev. Quincy Ewing of Greenvile. Miss, to the vacant rectorship of the Advent parish and that the vestry will be pleased to have any communications you may see fit to send us. That having full conf- dence in and information of the fitness of the Rev MT. Ewing, they will, if the sames meets with your approval at the next meeting elect Mir Ewing to All the vacancy. Very respectfully,
 CHAS. ROBERTS.
 Secretary Pro Tem.
 We received at once a letter in reply thanking us for the prompt manner in which we had compiled with the sugges- ton. In this letter or a letter the next day, the bishop wrote that he was going through to Jackson. Miss. the following Sunday and would be glad to hold service for us and would meet the vestry in the afternoon. On Sunday afternoon, Sep tember 27, the bishop met the vestry. The session lasted from three to about eight o'clock, and at this meeting the bishop for the first time made known to us any ob- lection to MT. Ewing. He said that he had heard that about two and one-half years ago MT. Ewing had performed the marriage ceremony of the Rev. Charles Morris, a divorced man. We went over the whole matter from beginning to end with the bishop and discussed and con- sidered fully all matters connected with Mir. Ewing, and connected with his call, as well as other matters connected with the parish. After all matters were fully discussed and fully understood we came to a complete and satisfac- tory adjustment of all differences

 BIRMINGHAM BUYS OUT F. C. FIFE
The Largest House Buys
 Out the Next Largest PIANOS 60 AT FACTORY COST.

The D. E. Forbes Piano company have bought the entire stock of tho Frank G. Fite Music house. and so large and un- usual was the purchase that all of the Birmingham papers commented upon it.
 The Birmingham News said:
 MT. Eyte, desiring to close his Birming- ham store. and rather than repack his big stock, sold the whole s4o,000 worth of pianos to the E. F. Forbes Piano com pany."
 The Birmingham Ledger said:
 Think of a beautiful upright piano worth s25O but sold for s147.50 or one worth 1925 for 5O. but this is the op- portunity afforded by the enormous pur- chase of the E. D. Forbes company. when they absorbed the entire plano stock of the well known Frank c. Ffte Music house."
 The papers may we'll talk about this great purchase-nothing like 1t was ever before accomplished in the south, and the result Is that well known high-grade pianos are being sold at facotry prices"
 We have likewise reduced all prices on our large stock of pianos to keep pace with this sacrifice sale, and as we carry the best pianos in the world. including:
 Chickering,

Light Wanted.

Editor Advertiser: In yesterdays
issue of your paper, DR.. Scudder,
among other things in his annual re-
port of the work of the Hawaiian
Board, seems to suggest, as an expert
ment, the desirability of sending one
two years course of training at the
Moody Institute with view to future
evangelical service. a very serious
question is here presented as to what
constitutes a likely successful worker
in this most difficult sphere. Any one
can see that great errors have been
made in this direction. Young people,
fired with enthusiasm for the spread of
Christ's principles and teachings, have
given themselves to the work, when re-
suits have proved, undoubtedly that
they might have used their lives to
much better purpose in some other
form of work In other words they
might have advanced the coming of
ChriSt'S kingdom, which is the
strengthening and sweetening of life,
better by using their powers in some
way more suited to their possibilities
of doing good.
So this has always been a very
serious question. Who is really fitted
for this great work and what are the
qualities of head, of heart, of attitude
and action, demanded? With view to
shedding some light on this most vital
and difficult question and perhaps of
assisting the Board to get good ma
terial for its possible experiment and
snabling perpleXed minds to decide as
10 their fitness for such work, il would
assuredly be a blessing if DR.. Scudder
or some one equally competent would
show US what, n their estimation. con-
stitutes an individual fitted to take up
and successfully carry out, in its best
sense, the work Of servants of Christ
and benefactcrs of their race.

FAILED To
CONVICT.
Jury Hangs In Johnson
Kumalae Conspiracy
Case.

| After being out little more than an
| hour the jury in the Kumalae-Johnson
conspiracy case failed to convict yes
terday afternoon, standing rs, the
majority for conviction. Attorney
General Andrews asked that the new
trial be set for June 10, to which Ash
ford objected on the grounds of sick
ness. Judge De Bolt has not yet def
initely arranged the date.
The defense addressed the jury first
yesterday morning and Attorney Ash
ford told the jury that the prosecu-
ton of Representative Kumalae and
Attorney Enoch Johnson by the Attor-
ney Generals department was infiu-
enced by politics This view he sup
ported by claiming that the charge was
made to read conspiracy rather than
gross cheat because a conviction on
such indictment would mean the for
fixture of civil rights. He claimed
that conspiracy had never been proven
and that should conviction result the
Attorney General would turn around
and say to the defendants, Now you
see what We'll teach you when you
leave our party to join another" This
brought a smile to the faces Of both
defendants which rippled over the jury
box. Everyone seemed to expect an
objection to this "outside the evidence"
|a1lusion to Kumalae's bolt from the Re-
publican party, but none was forth
coming.
Attorney General Andrews for the
prosecution made a powerful speech,
recapitulating the evidence that he
claimed clearly showed fraud and con-
spiracy, weighing heavily on Enoch
Johnson's own testimony. His talk
was forceful, concluding with the claim
that none of the services set forth, at
tested and paid for, had ever been
performed.
Noon struck as the Attorney General
concluded and the jurors lunched UNI
der the eye of the bailiff, returning to
court at two o'clock, when Judge De
Bolt read his instructions summing up
the legal points involved very concisely
AS the Judge closed and the jury left,
each attorney expressed his conviction
of having the better of the charging.
1t was freely intimated round the
corridors that the jury would hang or
fail to convict and general expectations
of an ga disagreement were rife.
The jury repaired to the watch tower
to get the benefit of the breeze and re-
turned to court shortly after $3.50 with
a disagreed verdict of rs.
Attorney General Andrews asked that
the trial be reset for the 18th inst, but
Attorney Ashford stated that for three
weeks past he had been really unfit for
work and had only been borne up by
the Importance of his clients positions.
He asked for more time and the Attor-
ney General submitted that with a mis-
trial like the present case, where wit
nesses outside the city were being held
at great expense, the new trial should
be set. providing Mr.. Ashford was not
seriously i'll or too busy, as soon as
possible.
A new panel will be drawn from and
the fresh trial set in all probability
within two or three weeks.
