EVANGELISTS AT
 CUMBERLAND CHURCH
HENDRlcK-cARTER RENTALS BE. GIN AT CUMBERLAND PRESBY- TERRAIN cHURcH-AN EARNEST SERMON PREACHED.

The Hendrick- Carter revival meetings began at the First Cumberland Presby- terian church last night with promising outlook The Rev. A. L. Carter arrived at 6 o'clock yesterday evening from Ems ley, where he and the Rev. D. E. Hen dricl have held very successful meet ing. The Rev. MT. Hendrick will remain at Ensley for the closing service there. but he will preach at the First Cumber- land here tonight.
 MT. Carter will have charge of the music during the meeting at the First Cumberland church. Last night he sang a solo and preached also. His solo was "Grace Enough For Me" He was in fro voice and his song seemed to touch the hearts of the people. Many were seen to weep.
 MT. Carter's sermon was from Matt. 17:14-21. It was about the young man who was lunatic. The preacher said the desperate need of the son led the father to take the young man to the disciples. They could not cure him. so the father at last took the son to Jesus and asked for mercy, and the boy was cured at once. The speaker pointed out the reason the disciples could not cure him was because of their small faith. He said the reason why we don't have more souls saved is be- cause we don't have faith enough. We have faith but not enough. This case was an extraordinarily hard one, and it re- ouired extraordinary faith. So today we need extra faith to reach hard men.
 The preacher then mentioned briefly three Finds of prayer. One was a cold, formal prayer. He said this kind was often prayed in a church, but it availed nothing Men pray that they might be heard and seen. Second, an "expulsive" prayer This kind of prayer. he said, could be prayed only when a heart is breaking because of grief or the burden of soul. This is not the best prayer. Third, solid, determined prayer. He said this is the best prayer. He used some illustrations of this in the prayer of Daniel, Jacob, John Knox and others. A man must hold on to God and never give up until the bless ings come, if he prays a successful prayer
 At the close of his talk Mir. Carter asked how many had friends whom they wanted to be saved About forty persons stood up. Two 'unsaved asked for prayer.
 There will be services at 7:45 o'clock this evening. At 10:3O o'clock tomorrow morning services will be held and again at 7:45 o'clock tomorrow evening, These will be the hours throughout the week afterwards
 Mir Carter, who leads the singing IS said to be a fine solo singer, as well as fine choir leader.
 Both evangelists are well known here and need no introduction to the members and friends of this church. having held a successful meeting at the same church last year. Over 100 conversions resulted from their efforts at Ensley.

During the coming week the city will give Oak Hill cemetery thorough clean ing and overhauling.
 Mayor Ward said yesterday: All fam illes or individuals who own property in the cemetery are earnestly requested to cooperate in the work by having their own lots cleaned out and put in good condition.
 Whatever work the city may do to- wards beautifying Oak Hill and what ever may be the devoted care of some individuals who still give some thought to loved ones laid to rest there, all Is marred and practically destroyed by the indifference and absolute abandonment of cemetery lots by the indifference of peo- pie who hold then

straight from the shoulder of the great silent vote, that great mysifying factor which passes the understanding even of politicians and gamblers. But such Is the law of the game. One must lose what the other may gain. One must chase the phantom of office while the other lands the job. Somebody's political ego must pass temporarily from the field of ac- ton,
 But when all Is said and done today the race will go on record as a hot one. There Is no doubt but that the game Ia worth the candle.

RAILROAD WORLD.


 Private car No. 199 belonging to tho Alabama Great Southern railroad, has been returned and will be kept in Bir- mingham for the use of Superintendent Boswell. General Freight Agent sevier and other officials of the road.
 The car has been used for some time by W. J. Murphy, vice president of the Queen and Crescent route, with headquarters in Cincinnati. Before it was returned to the Alabaaaa Great Southern 1t was thor oughly overhauled and put into the best condition.
 It has been two or three years since there has been a private car kept In Bir- mingham for the officials of this road. The last car was burned in fire in Chat tanooga some time ago.
 The question of whether or not c. 8. McManus is going to quit the Southern railway is interesting railroad men just at present. He is general superintendent of the system, and it has been reported for some time that he was deslrous of resigning, but that the higher officials were loath to let him leave.
 MT McManus informed the officials some time ago that he would like to leave the service on September 1, but it is stated on good authority that they asked him to remain for a while longer. This he consented to do. but the resignation will probably be effective about January 1.
 The railroad men who are in position to A4 was requested to resign, a statement which has been published by some news papers. They state that this Is abso- lutely false, and that on the other hand MT. McManus has been eager to quit and go into the coal business, but that the officials of the Southern have prevailed on him not to leave just at present. owing to the enormous transportation opera tions.
 Should MT. McManus leave the South ern it is probable that D. H. Coapman, assistant general superintendent of the eastern district of the system, will succeed him. Mir Coapman is the oldest of the assistant general superintedents and was in charge of the eastern district when there were only two districts.
 If MT. Coapman does not get the place, 1t Is said that an outsider will be ap- pointed although the opinion is freely expressed by those who are in position to know that MT. Coapman would be ap- pointed.
 The purchase by the Southern railway of the Virginia and Southwestern means an- other valuable feeder for the big sys- tenn. The new line penetrates region rich in coal deposits and lumber, and gives the Southern a crack-a-jack low grade line from Western Virginia and Tennessee into the Carolinas and the south-Atlantic states.
 The road is 137 miles long at present and the Southern has already commenced some additions which will lengthen 1t considerably and give some better con- Southern at two places near Bristol, and the coal, lumber and other materials found on the Virginia and Southwestern can be turned over to the main system at that point and distributed over the south-Atlantic states
 The road now runs from Mountain City, Tenn, to Stonega, Tenn ,aud 1t has sew eral branches off from it's main line. It gave the Southern over 100 loads daily several months ago and it is stated that this tonnage has been greatly increased in the past few months.
