 IN BANQUET AT HILLMAN

tempt to bring the railroads to a recog- milton of the fact that costonsoed is perishable product and wants fl under stood that 1t must be moved faster to prevent it's deterioration in value. An effort will be made to get a special pre- ference before all other traffic for this product, thus making 1t of higher value to the farmer as well as to the manu- facturer.
 \ number of those present told of the hardships they had suffered during the present season with seed rotting in the cars and coming into their warehouses greatly deteriorated in value The seed from the storm district, having been all most ruined in the fields. was said to have been worth nothing after the railroads had left it for weeks in the yards.
 MT. Tennille also said that cleanliness in handling from Inc gins through the oil mills would insure a prime material for high efficiency edible oil which would be equal to the imported olive oil for use on the table and would bring instead of cents as at present, as much as cents at the least Further it was brought out that to reach the proper standard in meal for both man and animals il is necessary to keep the seed perfectly good and pure, a thing impossible under the slow system of handling
 and that there was s25, ,OOO missing: that he decided to close the bank Immediately. and that he was appointed receiver.
 DuBose Confesses.
 The witness said there vas meeting If Che directors held in the First National bank in Birmingham, at which it was tried to make arrangements to carry on the Ensley National bank; that while the meeting was being held Du Bose come in and said: Pm the most miserable hu- man being on earth. If I had been in my right mind it never would have oc- curred;" that Du Bose admitted he lost the money in stock and speculations and would make it all good
 The witness stated the nature of the arrangements, which had been made by which the Ensley National bank resumed business. The witness also read a state- ments of all the transactions of Du Bose with the bank since October :. 1905. in which was shown the dates of the dis count of the notes amounting to S4S.Q0O. and also the expenditure of the money received on these notes The statement showed that over s2O 000 of the money was paid by check to Loveman X Co. brok- CTS, that Ware X Leland, brokers. had been paid about $25OO: that large checks had been paid to Gilbert X Clay. brokers and Abercrombie x Co.,, brokers.
 The reading of the statement by the witness occupied nearly an hour, and each item of expenditure is the basis of a suit in the indictment.

APPEAL IS URGED
 FOR MERCY HOME
MAINTAINED EN- TlRELY BY CHARITY HOPES FOR FITTING THANKSGIVING OFFERS FOR THE NEEDY INMATES.

The following has been issued by the board of managers of the Mercy Home:
 In asking for a Thanksgiving contri- button for the Mercy Home the board of managers desire to call attention to the fact that it is the only unsectarian protes- tant institution in the state for orphans and friendless children, and also that they give no public entertainments, and only ask for help for the actual running expenses.
 The increased cost of living and the heavy expenses incident to the care of many little babies and young children during the summer has exhausted the treasury and they are forced to ask for a generous Thanksgiving donation.
 To care for family of sixty little children, providing for all their necessl- ties, in sickness and in health. requies money.
 To maintain a Kindergarten in the Home and to teach and train the chil- dren to sew and cook and do general work requires efficient help.
 These things must be furnished if the Mercy Home is to be valuable to the homeless child, and valuable to the com munity. T're Thanksgiving offering, there

LARGE CROWDS ARE SEEING THE FAMOUS PLAY EXHIBITED AT THE MARVEL THEATRE, THIRD AVENUE AND TWENTIETH ST.

The Passion play, now on at the Mar vel theatre, BOT North Twentieth street, is attracting a large patronage. This film will be exhibited all of this week.
 The fame of the original Passian Play is worldwide. This strange play origi- mated at Ober-Ammergau, Bavaria, in the sixteenth century, and was held every ten years. People from every part of the world have from time to time gathered to witness the weird exhibition in the little Moravian town It is given to com paratively few to see the play in the original but splendid exhibition is shown at the Marvel for a nickel The film is very complete, telling in pictures the life of Christ from the three wise men of the east, watching for the star to the crucifixion and ascension.
 The film is very long, requiring thirty three minutes to display, and is shown in two sections with short intermission. It is probably the most educative film yet shown here.
