BAPTISTC CONVENTION
DOTHAN PEOPLE MAKING EXTEN-
 SIVE PREPARATIONS.
Every Delegate To Great Meeting of Alabama Churchmen Next Week
 Will Be We'll Cared For.

Duthan. July 16.-(Special) )-All Do- than Is alive with preparations for the State Baptist Convention which meets here next Tuesday
 Tn the recent wave of reform, which shook the city. the Baptist church, along with the others, prospered, ana great times are expected and being pre- pared for during the convention.
 A. 5000 pipe organ is now being in- stalled, and the workmen promise that 1t will be ready for use by the con- yention. Dr. J. R. G. Howell and Hon. BNG. Farther, the committee on ar ranxements, have secured homes for four hundred delegates and visitors, and are still at work.
 There will be a large number or visi- tors from this immediate section. ana anticipating the fact that the Baptist church, with it's seating capacity or eight hundred, will not be sufficient to accommodate the congregations. spe- cial meetings are being arranged for at all the other churches.
 Monday afternoon, a committee, com posed of the pastor. w. M. Anderson. George H. Malone. B. G. Farmer, and possibly one other. will leave here for Montgomery, to return on the special train Tuesday, which will bring most of the delegates and visitors. While en route each delegate and visitor will bs assigned to their respective home. Other committees will meet Other trains and every body attending the conven- ton, will be- well cared for
 It local sentiment should have any thing to do with the subjects discussed by the convention. temperance will. in all probability, occupy the attention Of the convention. in a very prominent way. Since the recent revivals. sentt- ment of the foremost citizens of Do- than appears to be in favor of abso- lute prohibition.
 The first case for violation of the city ordinances governing the sale of liQuor, after the dispensary was clos cd, was & negro. who was fined $97.5" and costs and twenty days in Jail.

 Every member of the jury has signed the petition, which will be submitted to Governor Conner by Beeman's at torney urging that the sentence be cummuted. The petition. it Is said, is also signed by number of the most reputable citizens of the southern part of Montgomery county.
 So stricken with fear. ittwill be urged. was Beeman that. at the time of the trial. hs did not have a single wit ness and would not even give his at torney comprehensible account of the circumstances by which he was led to kill his wife. Belya Beeman.
 The murder was committed six miles east of Grady, in the extreme southern pert of Montgomery County. When ar raigned for trial. Beeman pleaded guilty and threw himself on the mercy of the court in the hope of securing a life sentence.
 F. W. Jackson was appointed by the court to defend the negro and evidence for determining the penalty was taken, showing that Beeman and his wife had a quarrel over a snuff box and some writing paper. She fled from the house, he in pursuit of her, and that he picked up an ax from the ground striking her twice over the head with the weapon.
 Since the trial MT. Jackson has made trip to the scene of the killing and 1t Is understood he has secured ad- ditional evidence which will shed new light on the case, which will be sub mitted to the governor and the pardon ing board. MT. Jackson will insist that .Beeman killed his wife because he was crazed by her unfaithfhlness to him.
 The petition, it Is expected. will reach the Governor in a day or two.

An editor once, having asked his
subscribers to come in and pay up, and
getting few replies, began sending to
his readers blank white paper, the only
kind he could afford at his own expense.
The point was well taken, and the sub
scriber who received such hint should
have been ashamed Of himself. Think
OF 1t! The newspaper business offers
very scanty financial reward to the av-
erage editor, and we might say, to all
country editors. Yet they give to the
community all their time and energy.
They work for the good Of the com
munity, They usually boost every
thing worthy Of promotion. To the
editor, more than any other foctor, is
given the work Of promoting public en-
terprise. And the only support most
people give is to take the paper.
1t costs the publisher money to get out
the paper. 1t costs for white paper
and then the printerh has to be paid be-
fore he gets profit. If you take the
paper and do not pay, think how much
you are assisting the editor. If you
have been taking the Troy News for
three or four years and haven't paid a
cent, as is the case with more than a
hundred people in this community,
figure out our profit and then sit down
and congratulate yourself on your pub
lie spirited loyalty to your home paper.
II we send you a statment during the
next month don't ay any attention TO
it. If you do anything get mad and
stop your paper and let US go to Hades
for our dues. II we have actually spent
two or three dollars OF hard cash on
you as we have, just remember that the
Troy News editor can live on wind and
that he can buy paper and type with
the same kind OF coin.

Because you have contracted ordinary
colds and recovered from thu without
treatment of any kind, do not for Il mo-
ment imagine that colds are not danger
Gus. Everyone knows that pneumonia
and chronic catarrh have their origin in
a common cold. Consumption is no
caused by n cold, but the colds prepare
the system for the reception and devel-
opment of the germs that would not
otherwise have found lodgment. 1t is
the same with all infectious diseases
Diphiheria, sca'let fever, measles and
whoOping congh are much more likely
to be ontracted when the child has q
cold. Yon will see from this that more
real danger Turks in cold than in any
other of the common ailments. The

is to take Chamberlain Cough Rem
