Barney Oldfeld the famous pilot of the giant racing automobiles. may be seen In Birmingham if the plans of number of membe-s of the local automobile organi- zation do not miscarry As the result of negotiations by mail between Don C. B. VanDuzen, representing Birmingham au- tomobilists and William H. Pickens. manager for Barney Oldfe1d MT. Pick ems reached the city yesterday morning from Atlanta, where Oldfeld raced Thursday. After a visit to the fair grounds track during the afternoon plans were discussed that will probably lead to a big automobile meet being held at the fair grounds next Friday and Saturday afternoon Terms were agreed upon be- tween the two, and if satisfactory ar engagements can be made with the fair grounds management by the committee. work will be begun this morning on the track in order to condition 1t for record trials which O1dheld will make The committee in charge of the affair headed by A1r. Van Duzen, will then announce a programme of races for local cars and an effort will be made to bring some crack driver to the city from the east to compete against Oldfield in a match race of three heats.
 Oldfeld has raced in Savannah, New Orleans and Dallas during the past two years but a Birmingham date has been out of the question owing to the lack of a mile track. A satisfactory race cannot be given on half mile track and it was only the completion of the new track that made oldfeld's appearance here pos sble.
 The new track has a great reputation for speed in the horse racing game and needs but the stamp of approval of Old field to make it reknown the world over as an automobile course over which the tremendous speed can be maintained

CHURCH OF ENGLAND WILL
 TAKE PART IN EXPOSITION

Norfolk. March 25-(Special)- )-In 1907. the year of the Jamestown tercentennial the general convention of the Episcopal church will be held at Richmond, Va.
 Jamestown was a Crown colony, created under a charter granted by the King to commercial body, called the London company. and the religion of Jamestown was the established creed of England.
 When the convention met some years ago in Washington, a pilgrimage was made to Jamestown and a marble cross visit.
 It was largely because the year 1907 was the three hundred anniversary of the Jamestown settlement and that a great exposition was to be held at that time at Hampton Roads for the purpose of commemoratng this event, that Rich mond, the capital of Virginia, was select ed as the site of the gathering.
 At Jamestown the first Protestant church in America was erected and the first regular service conducted In Eng fish on the western continent was con- temporaneous with the landing, at which time the Rev. Robert Hunt offciated under sail cloth suspended from trees.
 The first recorded English wedding in America occurred in December 1908, when Ann Buras was married to John Laydon in the Jamestown church. The first known baptism of an Indian in the United States was witnessed at the same church where. also was celebrated the first lawful mar riage between a white man and an Indian.
 It is very probable that the Episco- pal church will take a prominent part 1 In the celebration of the tercentennial aside from the mere convention at Rich | mond.
 | The original settlers were undoubtedly a rather rough lot, but they were never without a church, and it is rather sim gular that the first structure they erected was a place for religious services and the only vestige of any building to re- main after the lapse of centuries is the 1 church tower.
 The Jamestown Parish church as it was known until the closing decade of the seventeenth century, enjoys the distlnc- ton of being the only church in Amer i lea which has had two sets of com munion silver given to 1t by England s

Keep
 Your Nerve

It is nerve energy that runs the organs of your body. The storage battery. is the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, and from this battery nerve force is sent out through the system of nerves. To keep the body healthy you must have plenty of nerve force; if you have not, the organs work irnperfectly, the circulation is sluggish, digestion bad, appe- tite poor, kidneys inactive, and aches, pains and misery are the penalty.
 You can keep the system strong with Dr. Miles Nervine. It assists in generating nerve energy; it strengthens the nerves and makes the whole system strong and vigorous.

It is a superb nerve re- storer."

The Coal Barons and the Highlanders are scheduled for another game tomor- row afternoon down at the ball lot If Wilhelms hand has recovered sufficient ly he will pitch for the locals, and Man ager Griffith promises to put about the best he has in the box. Ginger Clarke will probably assist Wilhelm on the fir ing line.
 Games will be played thls week tomor- row, Thursday and Saturday afternoons
 There are number of last years Southern league stars trying out for big league teams this year, and their admirers will soon know of their success or failure Harry Niles. the clever sec. ond baseman of the Baron team last year, is competing with Ben koehler of Atlanta last year, for a position In the outfield with the St. Louis Browns. Both Niles and Koehler are good hitters and fast men, and 1t is possible that Manager Me Aleer will retain both for a part of the season at least Brouthers and Oldring, both with Montgomery last season, are candidates for infield positions on the Philadelphia American team, and one of the other of them will probably land the third base position. Hahn of New Or leans Is trying for an outfeld position with the New York Americans, opposing Pat Dougherty, and Pug Bennett is out for a place at second with the St. Louis Cardinals. Bartley of Shreveport and Stanley are doing good work for the Phil adelphia Americans and Philadelphia Ma tonals, respectively.

Charles E. Peabody, traffic manager, Alaska Steamship Co.,, is authority for the statement that this company will grant stop.over privileges to summer excursionists to Alaska next summer.
 In Yukon territory during the month of August there were sixteen births, seven deaths and seven marriages. Of the births two were Indians and of the deaths they were three Indians. Of the sixteen births five occurred in the southern end of the territory, two at Whitehorse, two at Conrad City and one on Fourth of July creek. Of the new arrivals nine are boys and seven are girls.
 On the first day of this month there was launched at Victoria the Princess Royal, new steamship that is being built by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for the Skagway run. The Princess Royal is about the size of the Jefferson, being the same beam and one foot longer. She has four decks above the hull and will have accommo- dations for a great many passengers. The Princess Royal is wooden steam CT, PIT feet long, 40 feet beam and l7 feet moulded depth. Her total cost will be about S250,000.
 Daniel Guggenheim, president of one of the wealthiest investing syndicates in the world, while in Denver, found 1t difficult to properly describe the beau ties of Alaskan scenery and the oppor- tunities offering for the investment of capital. Ut was a visit of pleasure as we'll as business" said he. "We left Seattle about two months ago and took the inside passage to Skagway, thence over the famous White Pass, which is now traversed by a railway. AS we ascended I could not help but admire the rugged courage of those early gold seekers who climbed it, some of them during blizzards. From White Pass the remainder of the route to Dawson is a continual revelation. The scenery is different from anything have ever seen. The little steamer in which we journed down the Yukon afforded us ample opportunity to see the land scape, as the treacherous rocks make navigation slow. The Yukon is won derful river. From a narrow stream it broadens out until at Dawson it is as wide as the Mississippi at Burlington, and at tho mouth they tell me 1t IS sixty miles wide. Dawson is pictur- esoue place and it's inhabitants as cos- mopolitan as any to be found on the face of the globe. One thing about AL aska miners impressed me. 1 saw men we'll ,past 60 working with pick and shovel, and they seemed to have all the vim of youth. Their cheeks were red and they stood erect and strong. re- called the average denizen of the city at 60 and came to the conclusion that mining in Alaska was one of the ways to renew one's youth. The climate in the summer is delightful. We slept out of doors many nights and the fru' gal fare of the mining comps was often more appetizing than the menu at the Waldorf. I believe Alaska will be one of the most wonderful states in the union some day. Besides it's gold it has other resources. The people are beginning to take up agriculture and grazing in small way, and they are prospering."
