BIRMINGHAM NEGROES ON
 EVER PRESENT PROBLEM

The A. NJ. E. Zion Ministers union of the Birmingham dnstrict of the North Alabama conference has issued the fol- lowing:
 We. the ministers of the Birmingham district of the A. M E. Zion church would go upon record as disagreeing with the majority of our public speakers and editors in the south that the negro race in general or a whole has become inn moral, degraded and worthless as use ful factor in the development of south ern life and character. While we do agree that there is altogether too much crime to be laid at the doors of negro perpe- trators, we still hold that the negroes are not the only perpetrators of heinous crimes. We deplore the conditions and environment which incite and propagate crime and stand loyal to law and rightful authority in stamping 1t out. We believe in the power and influence of the gospel in accomplishing this, if rightfully preached and practiced. We are heart and soul with the city government in It's present fight against the pool room and low dives. where the disorderly congre- gate to foster and cGgender the spirit of crime and hideous immortality. We should like to see all such dens closed to col ored and white alike. It is our duty as ministers and citizens to cry aloud against all forms of vice and immortality in or among our people, and shall be more em- phatic in the future than in the past. It is not our province, however, to hunt down criminals and bring them to justice, but we do condemn the practice of shield ing or hiding such persons from the knowledge of the law.
 We shall ever counsel in our people moderation and common sense. We also admit we should draw distinctive line of demarkation between the loyal and virtious of our race and the low and vicious. In this we call upon the white press and leaders of the south, molders of public opinion, to aid us, in the spirit of justice and a common humanity. We believe that here in the home of eX-mas- ter and freeman, there is plenty of room for all. There is much to be done to

FATALLY STABBED TN
 FIGHT AT CHRISTINE
Ernest Mccormack Will Probably Die as Result of Wounds Inflicted
 By Ernest McCune.

Athens, November 5.-(Special) )-This morning, in the southwest part of the county, near Christine, a number of farm CTS met and were having a good time when a difficulty arose between Ernest Mccormack and Earnest McCune, two leading young farmers of that section, and resulted in McCune seriously and perhaps fatally stabbing McCormack, the cuts are across his bowels and into his liver, and his arm is also badly cut. He Is in dangerous condition, and his chances are said to be slim.
 Mccormack is a son of the late Carroll Mccormack, who was shot and instantly killed a few months ago by his son-in- law in Decatur. McCune was arrested, but later discharged by the constable be- cause he was arrested without a warrant. He has gone and it is not believed he will be caught if Mccormack dies.

COLUMBUS PLANS
 NEW TROLLEY LINE
SURVEY IS TO BE MADE OF LINE WHICH MAY CONNECT WITH THE FRIsco-PREsIDENT KIN. CANNON HAS OFFER.

Columbus, Miss, November 5.-(Special) ) An interurban line connecting Columbus with the surrounding towns will be sur- veyed in the near future While the en- terprise is in an embryonic state and no definite plans have been formed, it is understood that the promoters favor building to some point on the Frisco railroad, as one of the main objects in view is to connect with an independent railroad and thus give Columbus freight outlet The line will be thoroughly equipped with the best rolling stock and the most powerful motors, and will haul freight as well as passengers. The cree tion of a mammoth electric power plant is also contemplated and the company proposes to add to it's earnings by fur nishing current to mills, factories, gins and other plants of this character locat- ed along it's line, where power is re- quired for operating machinery. The suc- cess of this enterprise is looked forward to with great eagerness by the people of Columbus and the surrounding terri tory.
 A. A. Kincannon. who was recently of fered the chancelorship of the University of Mississippi. at Oxford, has as yet reached no decision whether he will accept the place or remain at the head of the Industrial Institute and College. The friends of the university are urging MT. Kincannon to accept the chancellorship, but the friends of the Industrial Institute and College are equally insistent that he decline. At a meeting of the trustees of the university recently held, MT. Kin cannon was elected chancellor, and was notified of his election by telegram and a committee consisting of MT. w. E. Bas- kin of Meridian and MT. T. J. Senter of Columbus was appointed to come here and apprise him of the fact. As soon as 1t became known that MT. Kincannon had been tender>>s the chancellorship of the university, the friends of the Indus trial Institute and College began to pro test against his acceptance of the offer. Telegrams begging him to remain at the head of the local institution began to pour in and also telegrams from friends of the university came, begging him to accept. MT. Kincannon has not yet been furnished with copy of the minutes of the meeting at which he was elected. and this Is one of the reasons why he is holding his decision in abeyance. It is needless to say the people of Columbus and the friends of the college throughout the state sincerely hope that he will de- eide to stay here.

make our state. great in resources. mag n6eent in climate and glorious in pos abilities, what it ought to be. The ne- gro is the natural workman, as the white man is the capitalist, and the promoter of her industries. Let us wisely handle the problems in hand, and if justice is done the negro, we believe his competent hand and willing heart will be found ex- erting his best efforts on the right sNe of all economic and industrial subjects. It is not social equality but social econ omy and righteousness that the law abiding negroes desire.
 The right to live, to enjoy, to feel that the white man is still his friend in the trying ordeals of life, and we feel reason ably sure that the race question will find the ultimate arbitrations of the cause of humanity We assure our white friends
 in the south that our great church will ever be found working for peace and or der and the general uplift of the lowly everywhere, and advocating those princi- ples that find their birth in the father hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
 Whereas, It has pleased Almighty God to pluck up from our brands and home in our fatherland and bring us to this country for His good and glory; and
 Whereas, This country is forever our home, and that a certain portion called the southland is best fitted for the great rank and file of us, yet large percentage of us is scattered all over the country making us citizens of this entire country; therefor we feel that where we are, we | are contributing largely to coffers. cti-
 zenshp and in many degrees, especially l in cases of great peril we are contribute | ing to the highest civilization the world l has ever known; and
 l Whereas. Many of us are poorly pre- | pared for the new condition in every re- | spect; the great mass of our people are poor and ignorant, especially in the south. ! and unprotected by the laws that govern
 the entire country, we are made to pro-
 teet and uphold the laws that we did not
 make, and the laws do not protect us in ! many respects; now therefore be it
 Resolved. first, That we encourage our people to save their money and get homes | as early as possible to move out from the | eongested part of the city. Second, that , we do more missionary work among the 1 lowly. where the children are so poorly reared Third that we prepare ourselves | in every way for the new condition. Let | the pulpits everywhere instruct our peo- | pie how to meet these new conditions. Fourth, that we will ask our benevolent
 societies and our missionary soceities or ! our churches to send good Christian | women to these homes of the lowly. where women and men are outcasts, and l read the Bible pray and encourage them 1 to lead better lives. Respectfully submit
