A Religion With Blood in 1t.

Not long ago We were in CONVEX
sation with a gentleman from an
other country who was in a posi-
ton to render large help to the
association. In the course OF his
remarks he, nearly as we can re-
call, delivered himself in these
words. The s.ntiment is worth
passing along: "What the associa-
ton needs in this country is yonng
blood and q robust manhood. The
trouble in most places is that when
q young man is converted he be-
comes, not even an old man, but
an old woman. What we need is

the old, should hear the contest. Hug gins wanted the old committee, a majori ty of which was in favor of hearing it. to act. but the chairman ruled that the new committee was the proper tribuna, to hear the contest and from this de- oision of the chairman Huggins appealed to the state committee. The state com mittee unanimously decided that it was the duty of the new county committee to try the contest as the old committee had no Jurisdiction.
 The new county committe required the contestant to give security for costs, which he declined to do and took an ap- peal to the state committee, which met In Montgomery yesterday. The state com mittee unanimously declared that the pro visions in the code governing election appeals did not apply to this case.
 The matter was referred back to the new county committee to decide and set tie as a matter between democrats them selves, and the state committee took the ground that the candidates should ae- eept the decision of their own county committee and Loyalty abide by 1t. The new county committee will meet as soon as call can be issued to the members.

CROP DAMAGE IS
 HARD TO ESTIMATE
GLOOMY REPORTS FROM ALL OVER THE STATE STILL COMING IN, BUT FEELING IS MORE CON- SENTATIVE.

From practically all parts of Alabama come reports of excessive damage to the cotton crop by the recent rains. Whether or not the damage is exaggerated remains to be seen. It is too early yet to tell. But as Is nearly always the case after ex- treme price movements, conservatism Is now gaining the aseendency.
 There seems little question that in some sections of Alabama and Mississippi the cotton crop has been reduced and the movement to market greatly retarded. But in the excitement of the moment the proneness to overestimate calamities should not be forgotten.
 If the crop has suffered as much as many producers would have you think, and at first blush, no doubt. themselves believe, there would scarcely be enough cotton left in Alabama 10 make sam

Heavy Damage In Autauga County.

Prattvile October 3.-(SpeciaL)-The re- port of damage to the cotton yet un- picked in the fields Is more discouraging than at first. Practically all in the fields now has sprouted and is growing two well developed leaves. Farmers estimate their damage all the way from one-third to one-half of the entire crop for the year. Corn on the river and large creeks also is greatly damaged by overhowng streams. The Autauga creek, running through this town, has been ranging around the danger line here for four days. It is at present falling, for the first time since Saturday.

An Unconscious Negro Found.-At Walker station, on the South Ensley car line, Dave Garnett, colored, was found in an unconscious condition last night. After some hours the negro re- covered consciousness, but could not tell anything as to his assailant nor as to the manner in which he received his injury. He states that he was waiting for a car and remembers that he saw one approaching. Since then everything was blank to him. The negro has a cut back of the left ear, which opens the flesh to the bone. He was not robbed, and there Is some mystery attached to the affair.
 Curtis Carried Pistols.-Officers Ma tion and Dougherty arrested F. M. Curtis a white man, last night on two charges, one making an assault with a pistol, and the other carrying con cealed weapons. When arrested pis- tol was taken from his person, and in addition the loaded chamber of an automatic gun was found. He had a pocket full of cartridges and $17 in money.
 Deaf Man lnjured.-While answer ing call for the patrol wagon Police man Stokes ran down James H. Rev holds on Third avenue and Twentieth street yesterday afternoon. The wagon it seems, narrowly missed a collision with lumber wagon. and in making a quick move the shaft struck MT. Key holds on the head. MT. Reynolds was carried to St. Vincents hospital. It is said that the accident occurred as a result of deafness on the part of Mir. Reynolds. It is said that he did not hear the gong of the wagon, which was rung violently

 In the meantime the trade seems in- clned to abandon the bumper crop esti- mates which have been popular of late. Some of the oldest cotton factors In Bir- mingham say that never before in their memory have wagon receipts been so small at this time of the season. Ware houses, too report that railroad cotton is unusually late coming in.

DISCUSSES GRAFTERS.
Capt Theodore Valiant Arraigns
Those Who Worship Mammon.

Religious "grafters," so called, were Sc
verely arraigned by Capt. Theodore Vail
ant, an evangelist, in a spirited address de-
lIvered by him last evening at the Home
ward Bound Mission, 119 Pennsylvania
avenue northwest. The captain has as
his topic, "A Rare Snap" In part, he
said:
MY subject was suggested to me. Be-
hind It comes train of thoughts. In this
twentieth century many men and women
are looking for soft snaps. There Is a
longing desire on all sides to get some
thing for nothing. To get rich quick has
become a loathsome contagion, and the
disease has condemned some men to prison
and many more to perdition. The fever
has even found its way into Gods work.
and we find men and women apparently
working in this glorious cause, but inward
ly worshiping Mammon.
81 warn you, my hearers. do not Desmrch
the holy name of our Father above by
involving Him in your get-rich-quick
schemes-your unholy efforts to get a soft
snap The martyred Abraham Lincoln
once said, You can fool all the people some
of the time and some of the people all the
time but my friends you cannot fool God
any OF the time. You deceive yourseif
when you try TO deceive Him. He is all
seeing and far-seeing. He can see through
YOU and your schemes as IL He was but
looking through window pane. My
friends take your lesson from the lowiy
Nazarene He was poor In this world S
goods and gloried In it. But he was rich
in Gods blessings
BE not deceived, there are no soft snaps
I'm the Masters work. 1t should be real,
earnest effort without shammery or schem-
ing and then God will give you His best
benediction."
Prayer was offered by Mrs. Haslam, a
duet was given by Lieuts. Nellie Haslam
and Grace Miller. The lesson on faith was
given by Mrs. Haslam. A testimony serv-

F. Huber, 100 18th street southeast, yester-
day afternoon and entered the premises

his presence. Had 1t not been that he made
so much noise in moving about the house
he might have succeeded in getting away
with considerable property. but Mrs. Huber
was attracted by hearing bis footsteps.
The intruder was so much surprised at
the appearance OF Mrs. Huber that ne was
not able to offer much resistance to her
efforts to drive him from the house. Mrs.
Huber grabbed him, used as much violence
her strength would permit, and made
him abandon the package he had prepared
TO carry off Tie coIored man left the
house as quickly as possible, and Mrs HUI
Der called upon the police later In the day.
She related ner story and gave the police
a description of the intruder.
