D. on "Scriptural Statement of the

Denomination"
Rev. Baker is a sympathetic speaker
yet forceful and his remarks were
punctuated with fervent amens by his
auditors.
He spoke Of individual responsibility
as one Of the chief principles OF
Baptist creed, saying, The church is
for the individual not the individual
for the church."
"The freedom of the individual con-
science" was another cardinal princi-
pie according to the speaker. 1.-THE
state has no right to interfere with the
church except when the church may
be interfering with the rights Of others
or carrying on demoralizing practices
under the guise of religion"
Regeneration is necessary to saliva
ton. That is why Baptists reject in
FAINT baptism which mas no place in
a logical system. It invades the sacred
domain Of individual responsibility
Mr.. Baker threw a worded lance or
two at priests, saying:
1.-The Enthroned Mediator is the only
proper one in all ordinances even to
that of the departing soul. We need
no other
The speaker placed the order of
progress to the inner sanctuary of his
denomination as: first, conversion,
second, baptism; third, church mem
bership and fourth, church privileges.
ION this principle we stand unchange-
able"
He pleaded for a practical application
of these principles saying that mo
truth has a greater power than when
lived" and closed his talk with a few
remarks on the Baptists as a mission
airy church.

LATEST STYLE IN COATS
 FOR THE STUMP SPEAKER

The latest style of costume for the stump skeaker is the smoking jacket, cut short and trimmed becomingly in red or green.
 Why? Well, Ex-Governor Joseph r. Johnston has adopted that style and he's a winner. At least he was recently in a primary and there's every reason to be- lieve he's still in the one. two class.
 Whether he adopted the style by acci- dent or on purpose is the disputed ques- tion, Nevertheless he can give MT. Hearst cards and spades in originality and win. Any one in North Alabama can vouch fo. that fact. That is anyone who has heard the governor speak in the last few days, He startled the natives in all that section of the state with his new costume, and he is now heralded as the latest Buttericlz pattern for stump speakers: that is stump speakers who arc sticking to the ticket like grim death.
 Stories differ as to how he came by that jacket The truth leaked out, how ever, and the ex-governor and nominee for alternate senator came by it legiti-

The following report has been submitted to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen by E. NJ. Duncan. bacteriologist end chief inspector of the meat and milk depart ment of the city:
 Birmingham, October %. 1906 To the Honorable Mayor and Board of Aldermen of Birmingham, Ala; Gentlemen-I herewith submit report from my department for the week ending October 27, 1906
 Several samples of water were brought in to be tested, but owing to tho irreg- ularity and insufficeney of the gas sup ply, these samples could not be properly tested.
 A number of plates of sterile culture media were exposed at different locations on the streets, and most especially near I the fruit stands with the object. if pos | sble of getting some idea of the bacterial l content of the atmosphere where fruit is ] handled, but enough facts tangible to | these conditions have not yet been se- 1 cured to enable me to make d definite | report on same.
 We had to spend considerable time the past week attending criminal court look | ing after some cases of milkmen that were appealed from police court. Much work has to be in the labor atory in the way of cleaning and sterll- izing of glassware, the preparation of culture media. and so OH. which l think unnecessary to describe and class as a report.
 Assistant Meat Inspectors Peterman and Lewis have been carrying on their work properly.
 Herewith attached is report of work done by the assistant milk inspector 1 think it would be a good plan 10 have an ordinance passed requiring the pro- prietors of all hotels, restaurants, lunch rooms, and on, to post notice in q conspicuous place in their cafes stating what kind of butter they propose serv- ing to the public, whether dairy butter, creamery butter. olemoragarine and so on. Then we could make tests to see if the goods were being served as represent ed. As 1t is at present anything that Is colored and looks like butter may be served to the public as such, and is gen earrly accepted by the consumer such.
 The department had visit the past week from Mr. Webster chief of the dairy division of the United States de- pertinent of agriculture Washington. and one of his assistants, who are co-operat ing with the various municipalities of the United States with the object of produc- ing better milk supplies

 That's the true story of the told by the ex-governor himsel ever gets to Washington-but tn q matter of the future and now interests only Alabamians.
 The governor went to a banau, night, given by the victorious rooters after the football game. home after the banquet was not given-and sought his downs couch. setting the alarm clock for an early rise. The clock went off on time the governor sprang from his couch with the speed of fireman, pulled his coat on as he ran down the steps and put his overeoat on after he caught the street ear.
