CORONER SECURES
 ADDITIONAL CLUES

Additional evidence has been found In the child murder case, which. the coro- ner says, is conclusive that the babe found on the mountain beyond North Birmingham park was murdered The coroner spent a large part of the day yesterday on the clue secured Saturday and made 0 second examination of the grave and surrounding territory Ills in- yestigation was not without reward, and he believes that he is on the right track.
 Alone and without letting any one know where he. was going, yesterday morning at Il o'clock Coroner Paris wended his way to the mountain. He lost no time in reaching the small ex- eavation from which the tiny body of headess baby was discovered Friday af- ternoon by a negro man.
 After devoting much time in taking in the general surroundings of the spot and figuring out the natural approach of any one trying to conceal a crime. the coroner discovered something bloody pro- jeeting from under a large rock After removing the stone he found a news paper besmeared with blood A hasty glance at the date line showed that the child was buried on or after September IS, the date of the paper. This coincided

The picnic for the benefit of the Or phans' Home at East Lake will take place at Smiths park next Wednesday. The gates will be opened at 10 o'clock and will remain open until midnight. An old time barbecue will be served at noon. In the afternoon there will be game of baseball arranged by Harry Vaughan. There will be horse racing, auto racing, cycle racing and foot racing.

 Tight fantastic" will be one of the even ing attractions. Memolis band will give grand concert between the hours of 7:3O and 1O:30 p. m.

with his statement, made at the time the babe was discovered, that the child had been dead about ten days. The cor oner spread the paper out in the sun and let it dry; then he brushed off the earth and blood and will preserve the paper as evidence.
 Investigation continued and soon he found a piece of cloth that may be of more service to him in running down the mother of the child and It's mur- derer than the clothing found on the body. The coroner was reluctant in tell ing why he prized the piece of cloth, but intimated that 1t contained a mark He also intimated that writing on the paper might be invaluable to him.
 Interest in the case grows as the in vestigation proceeds. Long before the coroner reached his office yesterday a number of persons were at Gaudin's un- dertaking establishment to take a look at the fine fabrics that were removed from the baby's body. As the day passed the number of callers increased and the coroner had to literally dodge people to get away at II o'clock, the time he went to the mountain to gather any additional evidence that might be found. He says he will never cease until all the facts are known.

minister, and to give His life a ransom for many.
 To the apostles He said: Freely ye have received freely give.' Our work is to minister and any religious organization Is valuable only in proportion to It's power to minister and serve There is reason to fear that we are losing sight too much Of this fact
 There is a commendable zeal in estab- fishing magnificent churches in communi- ties of much wealth and small population, but a pitiable lack of adequate facilities for giving the gospel to the crowded cen ters where the poor inevitably gather No worse thing can befall US than that which has begun in the drift of the poor in the cities away from the churches.
 We may not see our way clear to meet the situation, but we must not forget that when We have put our strength and resources into this work that Christ will bless the means and make them adequate to the demands of the situation Those earnest words of Horace Bushnell are worthy of frequent repetition: Men are often put under obligation to do that for which they have no present ability; but God has arranged to bring fin increments of power just when they are needed" : Let us seek the best facilities possible and employ them in our church work, remembering that they are wholly in7 adequate to the work until divine pres ence enters Into them and works through them the miracles of His saving grace.
 Certain London merchants are privileged to dignify their places of business with the sign, "Purveyors to His Majesty" Christ has appointed the churches In every place as "purveyors to the peo- pie" Our task will not be done until gospel privileges are in reach of all men.

 Suppose your broad, beautiful and fer tile valleys were utilized as they should be, you know what 1t would mean to every commercial interest in this vicinity.
 Interest in Fair.
 'I am glad to see such interest in the state fair. l am great believer in them While the attendance will prob ably be largely of local nature, we are advertising it in the north and west and hope to have some strangers to wit ness the displays.
 'I did not intend to say so much, but while we are on the subject, let me say one other thing. While we are pro gressing and paving the way for future advancement, we should never overlook the important feature of improving our educational institutions. I have spent the summer in New England, and while look ing at their conditions with respect to soil and climate, l could but marvel at their success. Even in the face of a most severe and trying climate and rock-bound soil they have not only made a living, but amassed wealth as individ- uals and as section in general The one word that always stood prominently be- fore me was. How I believe the secret lies in their efforts to give every ono an education. Throughout the south there have been rapid strides made, and mean no criticism in urging that this impor- tant branch be given every consideration possible toward an improvement.
 'T could go into details in connection with the many inquiries we have received and are receiving daily, but suffice it to say that I never saw evidence of greater interest and predict for the coming year a greater prosperity along these lines than we have ever before known.
 ''That you will get your proportion goes without saying. You have fine city, surrounded by truly wonderful coun try, and you could not help growing. and the natural growth. aided by your organ izations and individuals. will produce re- suits which will be a monument to their energy. zeal and devotion"

T think l may refer with nardonable pride to the work being dor ailroads in this direction, and the A d Immi- grafton association recently formed will also be factor, but we cannot secure the desired results unaided. We must have the support and cooperation of every city town, village and hamlet through out the south
 Naturally we do not expect all to be laborers in the sense indicated because included in immigration would be the farmer as well, but he must have labor also Let me give an illustration of the value of immigration. A few years ago few families of foreigners, American ized slightly were battling against the clements prevailing in Dakota. They were subscribers to a farm paper carrying an advertisement of some lands in North Carolina which were offered for sale at a reasonable figure, and tiring of a rig orous climate, opened correspondence which resulted in the sale of ten farms. These people endeavored to cultivate the crops they had been accustomed to ana failed to make a living. The culture of early vegetables was suggested, partic- story short these people accepted the advice and have made the Wilmington, N. C., district famous.
